Engineers should stick to just the technical piece. … I think it's a risk honestly, because as much as we talk about changing our tenure and promotion criteria and including things like innovation, community engaged research, or things that may not be as traditional… it's very difficult to change minds. And even when someone says, ‘Yeah, you know, we should include those things,’ the tenure and promotion [process] is very subjective, no matter what. And I do believe things have improved but I don't think they've improved to the point where I would advise an early career faculty member whose portfolio is primarily community engaged research. I would be nervous for that faculty member. To be honest, I’d

Exploring Circuit Education for Early LearnersAbstract:Early exposure to circuits is critical to fostering an interest in engineering for young students, buttraditional circuit education is often not adapted to their cognitive and motor skill levels. Wedeveloped and evaluated two hands-on circuit education approaches, the Circuit Sticks and thePre-Prepared Copper Tape Circuits. Both methods were designed for first-grade students toimprove accessibility and engagement in early circuit learning. The Circuit Sticks provide astructured, guided experience, using color-coded polarity indicators and modular assembly tolower the barrier to entry. The Pre-Prepared Copper Tape Circuits, on the other hand, requireindependent
