undergraduates summarize thedetails of the team’s past progress and their future plans in a short write up which gets sent to theM.Eng. student(s). These informative reports help the M.Eng. students stay fully aware ofdetailed progress. The M.Eng. students then pass along the information along with theirconsiderations for timeline and resources to the project sponsors. Faculty are copied on theseregular communications, and students are given credit for completing and sending these reportson time. The undergraduate teams meet with a course instructor every two weeks for a 30-minutecheck-in meeting, which serves to monitor team progress and help students stay on track as thesemester progresses.M.Eng. Roles Throughout the course, M.Eng. students

For HBCUs, their success in graduating Black students in STEM washighlighted along with the missed opportunity of advancing their efforts to assist the U. S. goalof staying competitive within the STEM workforce (National Academies of Sciences,Engineering, and Medicine, 2019). For example, scholars found that HBCUs, while onlyaccounting for 3% of all post-secondary institutions in the United States, graduated 17% of allBlack students (Gasman & Nguyen, 2016). Additionally, as of 2019, 14.5% of Black graduateswere from HBCUs even though they made up less than 1% of all ABET-accredited programs(ABET, 2019; Deen, 2019; Fletcher et al., 2023). For Black women, a group representing

advising dynamics of education while highlighting the critical rolesadvisors play in constructing the academic life and future of the international student [5]. Thishas caused a dramatic change in the composition of Ph.D. enrollments in the U.S.The importance of cultural understanding in advising international students cannot be overstated,and several studies have highlighted this fact. For instance, Vakkai et al.'s research has shownthat international students' cultural backgrounds and values cannot be ignored, and havingadvisors who are more attuned to these aspects can significantly impact an individual's academicsuccess [6]. Similarly, Liu et al.'s study highlights the need for increased attention and guidancetowards international students

The role of academic institutions in this process has also beendemonstrated in the literature by highlighting the potential of STEM enrichment programs insteering students toward graduate programs in science [16]. The literature underscores that theseprograms are not merely avenues for academic support but can significantly influence studentperformance, degree completion, and even graduate enrollment.

Concurrentdevelopment of curriculum and accreditation assessment assignments will decrease overhead forcourse design and improve quality.

This discussion could lead touncovering what Wiggins and McTighe 2 called the “enduring understanding” of acontent area together with potential effective pedagogical approaches. This model couldultimately lead to integrating the enduring understandings needed to make sense ofnanoscale phenomena with effective pedagogical methods. We hope that this modelmight become a framework for the design of nanoscale science and engineering curricula.AcknowledgmentsWe thank the seven researchers who volunteered their precious time to be interviewed forthis study.

[The definition of “technologically literate” herelikely entails being literate to some degree in the S, M and T&E.] Leaving the teachingeffectiveness benefits aside, a population of technologically literate K-5 teachers, and Page 15.1194.2presumably their K-5(8) students, should enable technological literacy instruments to bebetter designed and calibrated. This has broad implications. Measurements of technologicalliteracy in MST and non-MST teacher populations could

Over the past two years, it has been designing and implementing a comprehensive set of curricular innovations in order to better prepare local engineering undergraduates for engineering studies and careers in the energy sector. Three components of this comprehensive approach will be presented in this paper, with reference to how each was conceived, designed, and implemented. Early indications of the impacts are also shared. The paper will conclude with identifications of challenges faced and recommendations for how to better enable and support continuing enhancement of the

while providing feedbackThirty two out of sixty two responses stated that students turn in their source code print-out forthe graders to read and assess. Almost an equal number of responses mention the use of anelectronic submission system. About 65% of graders write their comments on a paper printoutand primarily use plain text with occasional arrows, circles and lines to point out source codeissues. One person stated that s/he provides “hand written” comments, typing them would bepreferred but it is not done “simply as a time factor issue.” From those that provide commentselectronically, one “include[s] a link to a Web document that contains the instructor's solution atthe relevant line in the instructor's solution source code.” Comments are

, respectively[5].The traditional and probably most common method of introducing aspects of green engineeringhas been through a senior and graduate level elective course on environmental engineering, withan emphasis on process treatment. Courses were developed that focus on methods to minimizeor prevent waste streams from existing chemical plants in the 1990’s. The educationalprogression mirrors the progression in industry. In industry initial efforts were applied to wastetreatment whereas current efforts are aimed at reducing the total volume of effluent treated aswell as the nature of the chemicals treated. Currently, many of the environmental and pollutionprevention courses have been replaced by courses in green engineering, environmentallyconscious
