Theprogram curriculum includes workshops and provides additional resources for how to navigatethe workplace and learning when coping with mental health or wellbeing concerns.Students in Iron Range Engineering have weekly meetings with a mentor, staff with engineeringdegrees, and the program keeps an inclusive culture for informal mentorship [50]. Although 30%of students identify as having a disability, students rarely apply for accommodations or bringletters of accommodations to instructors. These conversations occur informally andpersonalizations are made as part of an open discussion.Describe your undergraduate

of and engagement inengineering. However, many teachers do not have robust understandings of engineering and theirstudents may not have opportunities to engage in engineering. The COVID-19 Pandemic haslikely further decreased opportunities for elementary students to engage in engineering as theirteachers grappled with reduced contact time, integration of new technologies and pedagogicalapproaches, and remote/virtual learning. The purpose of this qualitative case study was todescribe how an elementary teacher attended to engineering instruction during virtual learningdespite the barriers presented by the pandemic. Aleshia was purposefully selected from a largersample of 22 grade K-6 teachers because she included engineering in her virtual
early1990’s. It was understood that a FEM theory was not necessary to learn the usage of FEAsimulation. FEA simulation was included as a part of solid modeling in an engineering designgraphics course [11]. Ural et. al. [12] have developed a project for first year course incorporatingFEA simulation. In that project, the behavior of a SMARTBEAM® was examined usingexperimental measurement and FEA simulation and the results were compared. For all these firstyear courses FEA was used only as a simulation tool and the philosophy was that the underlyingFEA theory or the knowledge of mechanics was not necessary.Papadopoulos et al. [13] proposed a different pedagogy on integration of FEA practicethroughout the undergraduate CE/ME curriculum. They

The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) included the InformationAssurance and Security knowledge area in its Computer Science curriculum starting in 2008 [7]. The 2008 Computer Science curriculum included Foundational Concepts in Security (e.g.,security goals of confidentiality, integrity and availability) Secure Programming, and OperatingSystem Security. The 2013 Computer Science curriculum updated the knowledge area to alsoinclude Principles of Secure Design, Defensive Programming, Web Security, and SecureSoftware Engineering [8][9].

Integrated Electrical Engineering and Data Acquisition (DAQ)courses.1. Vertically integrated design project courses (VIDP). Our ME program traditionally has astrong senior design course sequence where seniors work for an entire academic year in teams onreal projects sponsored and mentored by industry. Real industry design experience, however,was missing in the first three years of the program. Hence, a separate design course sequence,where first-, second-, and third-year students come together each spring to work on designprojects mentored by practicing engineers, was added to the

Here, the main focus will be on updating futurePD training to provide more examples of curriculum which integrates the 3 focal areas(entrepreneurial mindset, bio-inspired design, and STEAM) with a greater variety of artsexamples.From a practical perspective, the authors encourage PD facilitators and/or curriculum designersto implement a similar qualitative-based “exit ticket” (i.e., assessment) which incorporates bothopen-ended questions and photovoice in an effort to gain deeper and richer insights fromparticipants.To learn more and apply to this professional development opportunity

However, 3D printing-based curriculums are seldom integrated intoconstruction management education, due to which graduating students are unprepared for theevolving construction job market.There are several applications of 3D printing in an academic setting that includes: (1) to produceartifacts that aid learning materials; (2) to create assistive technologies; (3) to teach studentsabout how 3D printing technologies work; (4) to teach instructors about 3D printingtechnologies; (5) to use it as a support technology during teaching; and (6) to support outreachactivities [9].

Usingthe context of a children’s playground, participants were asked to redesign an existing playstructure to better meet the needs of children, parents, and other stakeholders within thecommunity. A five-metric assessment was developed to operationalize the head, hand, and heartconstructs in this context and measure participants’ ability to think holistically in an authenticlearning experience. These five assessment metrics included cost, time, safety, sustainability, andfun. This paper explores the

The program focuses primarily on the California practice of structural engineering, that emphasizes seismic design. As an architectural engineering program the curriculum goes beyond traditional structures programs to give students an understanding of architecture and construction management as it relates to a total project design.

(STEM) education is an effective catalyst toengage students in science & engineering careers. STEM continues to support the long-term goalof preparing students for life-long careers that promise a competitive edge in the job market.However, STEM program development is often challenging. Wu-Rorrer [1] argues that “STEMremains vaguely defined, and the strategies to successfully integrate it into the currenteducational system remain elusive”, inferring that a school’s STEM program is amorphous.Furthermore, STEM programs need more work than before with recent pressure to promoteinclusivity [2] and a solid career path [3] in a stable environment [4]. To better solve thisdilemma, there remains an aspect of STEM programs that is overlooked – the

Having evolved, as Ruth Graham recently said about us [42], withcontinuous improvement as a part of our DNA, we must continually look inward to eliminatebarriers to access and portray outwardly to our future students the lived culture of inclusion,equity, and collaboration. Our focus on creative, innovative, open-ended problem solving mustcontinue to mature and produce graduates ready for tackling messy, complex problems throughsystems approaches integrating all disciplines. We see these challenges as achievable within ourprogram structures. More difficult is to overcome archaic curriculum approval systems
