approach to problem-solving, innovation, and value creation” [4]. The KEENframework emphasizes three primary components of the entrepreneurial mindset: curiosity,connections, and creating value. Project-based learning in which students are given a specificaudience to understand and design for is one way in which students learn to create value withtheir technical skills. Projects with simulated or real-world applications also provide students theopportunity to practice situational curiosity [5].Effective science communication is particularly necessary in the process of commercializingtechnology. When engineers create goods and services that are to have a societal impact oraddress a need, it is crucial for their success that the value of these

University, SCAbstractIt is vital to guarantee that engineering graduates have learned essential skills required to excel ina dynamic technological landscape. Today the proliferation of low-cost, high-speed computingdevices offer opportunities for design and control of systems with varying levels of complexity.What this means in practice is that engineers increasingly need expert knowledge of variouscomputer systems and software. Computing expertise once considered arcane must now becomecommonplace. We develop a novel Machine Learning (ML) course, designed for allundergraduate engineering majors with appropriate programming and mathematics background,to take as an elective in their junior or senior year.

This is done in orderto maximize the area of coverage with as little workforce as possible, due to the limited nature ofan SMB.

This assignment is typical of the assignment for this course in length and expectation.Students are expected to make decisions on how to best complete the assignment including whatcontent to use from previous courses, what instruments to use, how to verify their measurementsand how to justify the validity of their experiments.

To facilitate that objective, six labassignments are scaffolded such that students are given more help with

Project-based learning (PBL) is a part of a pedagogical practice thatinvolves a wide range of engineering requirements methods. However, this learning method hasnot been holistically implemented [2]. To help with this issue, ABET, in its most recent guidanceis pushing for more PBL which research has shown as key and most prevailing attribute amongsuccessful graduate engineers within the industry [1]. The prevalent method for teaching inengineering disciplines is the “Chalk and Talk” approach. The instructor will lecture and thestudent will be a passive learner, not a student centered method [1].

As students graduate and enter the workforce, they carry with them thecapacity to respond to human and societal dimensions of technology in daily practices.3.

Unfortunately,given that regular class attendance in and of itself is an equity issue, particularly for those withchronic illnesses and other disabilities, this practice of not recording often begs the question of“best for who or what populations?” Instructors must think about who they are including or notincluding by recording.Banerjee reconciles these seemingly conflicting conclusions by carefully delineating the benefitsto individual students of lecture capture as a supplemental resource (for which there isoverwhelming evidence) [2] vs. the aggregate impact on class attendance and performance whenstudents view recordings as a substitute for live lectures and in-class interaction [3].

had practice with fully solving computational problems on thetopic. The students were told that error detection problems were fair game on the two midtermexams and final exam.In presenting the general concept of error detection problems, the instructors explained to thestudents that the problems were being implemented for the following reasons: • Literature suggests that seeing material both as an error detection problem and regular solution problem would improve their learning. • It can be common for an engineer in industry to review a colleague’s work for correctness. Thus, students would benefit from practicing a skill that may be used after graduation. • It was believed that error detection problems would

The qualitative questions are analyzed using a coding scheme described in [45].No predetermined themes were set in the analysis, and the uncovered themes emerged from thedata itself. The initial coding process was an open exploration, and the data were subsequentlyannotated. Words and sentences under each criterion were unitized and labeled as mutuallyexclusive categories [46]. Subsequent readings allowed for the emergence of themes andobservations.To assess the center's longer-term impact on students, we interviewed two recent graduates whospearheaded the bio-inspired robotics SIG.

The third training course scheduled for this year was entitled "Thriving Interactions withPhD Students and Post-Docs”. It was designed and pilot-tested in-person at NYU in March 2024with the following goals: (1) Raise awareness of the challenges faced by STEM graduate students in terms of aspirations, daily life and mental health, interactions with advisors, and of the need to change; (2) Assist faculty to develop meaningful interactions focused on key principles such as awareness, identity, empathy, vulnerability, openness, and inclusivity; and (3) Deliver practical guidance for fostering

Occasionally these problems would be administered through Kahoot! with prizes for students who performed best. ● Test Prep - Mock exams and timed challenge problems, usually given within the week before a major exam in engineering or math.The fall quarter provided the students with thirty-five SI session opportunities with winter andspring providing twenty-five and twenty-three, respectively.
