significant.In a previous study, the innovation self-efficacy of undergraduate students enrolled in two juniorand senior level environmental engineering courses was found to increase after studentscompleted an activity on designing K-12 STEM projects related to the course outcomes (See fullinstrument in Bolhari and Tillema, 2022). In a follow-on study, it was of interest to evaluate theimpacts of the addition of mentors into the curriculum design activity. Previous research foundthat various forms of mentoring might increase innovation self-efficacy. In co-curricularactivities with communities via the group Design for America (DFA), student teams receivedbrief weekly coaching sessions with professional designers, and interviews identified these

days to 3 days when participants learned and practiced on feasible projects for implementation; laser cutting, additive manufacturing, and surface characterization were chosen. • A project was implemented for participants to integrate and practice design process and fabrication methods. Modification to improve performance of small Stirling engine model was introduced during the second summer, and problem solving with an inexpensive drone was implemented during the third summer. • Attendance and passiveness were observed with some participants in the first summer. Routine clicker assessment was implemented to confirm the participants’ understanding. The program also included assessments after
success in engineering. Examples of spatial tasksinclude visualizing the 3D object that results from folding up a flat pattern or the 2D cross-section that results from cutting a 3D object or the 2D orthographic views of a 3D object. Whilespatial ability is clearly relevant to an engineering graphics course, studies have indicated thathigher performance in math and chemistry courses also correlate with higher spatial skill level.The correlation between spatial ability and performance in a statics or other engineeringmechanics course however is less clear. More data are needed to provide stronger conclusions inthis area.By identifying the role of spatial reasoning in engineering mechanics courses, like statics andmechanics of materials

One way in which it canbe effective for faculty to acclimate is by doing small implementations through micromoments.Micromoments are rapid and easy active learning implementations that encourage students’learning. These activities can help support faculty who often struggle with competing demandsand lack of time, limiting improvement in teaching aspects.

The literature has also suggested the terms of servicelearning, cooperative education, cooperative learning and internships have all been defined to“designate the student experiential learning outside the university setting, with the goal ofpreparing students for successful entrance into their chosen field” [15], [16].For construction management, the concept of an internship is the process of providing thestudent exposure to the professional side of the construction industry while applying theireducation in a hands-on manner. This process has become a very important component withinmany construction
Science, Technology, Engineering, andMathematics (STEM) experience lower rates of unemployment and higher salaries, aphenomenon seen across all nations. Recent technological advancements in the engineeringfield have created an environment for educators to reconsider the ways they should beeducating future engineers. Educational reform efforts have been spurred by concerns aboutcompetitiveness and the insufficient number of graduating engineers to fill vacant positions inthe job market. Several organizations have released reports that describe the need forsystemic change in the engineering education curriculum with a focus on skills that helpgraduates develop their employability skills, such as process, design and analytical skills [1][2] [3

But at the end of my first year my ideal position turned into the president of a university. It was like, “Go, broke, or go home.” When it comes to the initial purpose and the drive. I still have that, because I remember when we started the program they asked for a little bio, for them to post on Twitter. They were like, “Oh, just tell us about yourself, and why you decided to pursue a PhD program with us.” And I wrote that I want people to have that “Ah-ha!” moment.

design offers students entering the field greater knowledge andconfidence with the material. To provide students with the opportunity to understand thefundamentals of timber design and construction without introducing an additional requiredcourse into the curriculum, a hands-on engineering design project was implemented in anundergraduate structural analysis course. In this project, students worked in teams to design,analyze, construct, and test a 16-ft long timber truss. Students learned the basics of approximateanalysis, design of axial wooden members and connections, and principles of timberconstruction. The engineering design project has been included in the structural analysis coursesince 2017. This paper presents the six-year evolution of
andautomation in the fall of 2018. This program, the first engineering program on campus, is mix ofelectrical, mechanical, and computer engineering appropriate for developing robotic systems. Aspart of the engineering curriculum, students take an electronics course in the spring semester oftheir second year. The course introduces students to the behavior of circuits and elements whenvarying voltage sources are used. The frequency response of circuits is of particular interest. Thisprovides an opportunity to introduce the concept of automating data acquisition and analysis. Weare taking advantage of this opportunity.Program DescriptionThe Engineering Physics program (Program) is focused on robotics and automation. Thecurriculum consists of classes in

disciplinesthat are not perceived by novice learners as computational in nature. Previous research indicates thatstudents majoring in subjects that are not programming-heavy might think they will not need these skillsin their careers, or they are less capable [1]. However, both students and professionals across differentengineering disciplines commonly accept that diversifying one's skill set makes one more marketableand favorably positioned for career advancement [2][3]. Additionally, studies suggest that materialsscience and engineering (MSE) faculty favor incorporating computational tools into their teaching andthink that computation is an essential component of the curriculum [4].

creator of this case study has a specific“answer” to the problem in mind. Burns et al. [ 19] agree saying “If a case is constructed by‘hinting’ at how to examine a set of predetermined principles, the student is being handed acontext that is built to reduce the disagreement to such a fundamental level that no actualsituation could ever resemble it. Most of the serious moral work is already done”. Conversely,when approaching narratives–whether on the page or a podcast – students share an implicitacknowledgement that bias, interpretation, and analysis are an integral part of the genre and,thus, look at the characters and their actions rather than searching for a specific answer to aproblem.The critical narratives we used for this particular study
