such representations were not necessarily used tosupport children’s engineering design process (i.e., research question 2). For example, there werethree instances in which caregivers discussed why they do not want to be near water when it waslightening or use electrical devices near water. As stated by Amanda, “The crazy thing aboutwater is that it’s a huge conductor of electricity. And that’s why if you are ever doing anythingelectrical, you don’t want to be around water. Because if there is enough electricity, it will zzzz.”In this case, the information shared may be considered a spontaneous science moment [31], but itdid not impact the process and/or completion of the engineering task. Therefore, we focus onrepresentational fluency to

However, Lino Camprub´ı [2] contends that they “could hardly be calledpolitically neutral technocrats,” pointing to examples of highly regarded scientists and engineerswho were supportive of the surveillance, control, and “purifying” of science. Similarly, JoanneTuck [3] notes that many German engineers struggled after a massive job shortage induced by theGreat Depression at the end of the Weimar Republic. They competed for whatever business theycould find, including in the design and construction of the technologies that enabled ethniccleansing by genocide– and they did so knowingly. As Eric Katz [4
thecourse around the Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition for the following reasons: it ishighly interdisciplinary; it affords undergraduate and graduate research opportunities; andit forces students to work under the pressure of a deadline. The course runs from Januaryto August, with the actual competition occurs in June. Subsequent to the event, lecturesfocus upon the competition as a case study and apply topics such as legal concerns andeconomic cost analysis. Due to the nature of the competition, a shift towards the systemlevel of design has occurred. The present work seeks to add to the ongoing discussion focused upon multi-disciplinary capstone design. Several key differences exist between the present work andthat described by

Encouraging innovative uses of AI that complement individual teaching styles and learning preferences can foster a dynamic and inclusive educational environment.10. Evaluating Long-term Educational Outcomes: Continuous assessment of AI's impact on educational outcomes is necessary to validate its effectiveness and adapt integration strategies accordingly. Longitudinal studies and feedback mechanisms can provide insights into AI's benefits, challenges, and areas for improvement, ensuring that technology's role in education evolves in alignment with pedagogical goals.4.2 Recommendations for

Apool of graduate teaching assistants from seven departments provides technical guidance andadministrative assistance. Currently, the Purdue EPICS program has 29 teams (over one third ofwhich serve pre-college needs) with over 400 students participating during the 2004-2005academic year.

The ability to communicate clearly and concisely, especially within theconfines of a one-page resume, displays writing skill and professionalism. Many of these articlesalso recommend practice exercises for strengthening qualitative resume writing skills and theirimpact on student writing quality. For example, addition of written assignments to upper-levelengineering courses and learner-centered instructional strategies have been shown to increasemultiple aspects of a student’s
flexibility, minimize stereotype threat, andencourage students with diverse backgrounds. Students are accepted into the program during thefall of their first year and complete it as a cohort. Cohort models create learning communitiesthat increase student retention and sense of belonging, satisfaction, and engagement [52], [53],[54].

Model for Teaching Physics and Mathematics to Engineering Students Session topic: Innovation and best practices around the globeAbstractThis paper presents details of the implementation of an educational innovation in an internationalcontext. In Mexico, we designed a classroom that we call the ACE classroom. ACE comes fromthe Spanish acronym for “Aprendizaje Centrado en el Estudiante” (Student-Centered Learning);also, the pronunciation of the acronym in Spanish is identical to that of the verb “do”, and thusconveys the idea that students learn by doing in this classroom. The ACE classroom we designedis similar to the SCALE-UP (Student-Centered Active Learning Environment for UndergraduatePrograms) classroom

Programs at Caltech [18] andMichigan [19] have shown that developing a culture of innovation in getting students from STEMbackgrounds to “think like an entrepreneur” is possible by combining extensive mentorship,educational resources, and experiential project work. While these efforts were undertaken for post-graduate STEM students looking to commercialize research innovations, the same ideas andstructures apply to undergraduate engineers in a co-curricular setting.This paper describes and assesses the impact of an entrepreneurial fellows program organized bythe Dyer

Related to this, a stronger articulation of engineering as a design process that begins with problem formulation; analysis and synthesis; and testing. Likewise, a shift towards a more instrumental view of the humanities and social sciences, with a specific call for evaluating all so-called “soft skills” in the context of professional practice.
