Morework within the overall veteran community as well as the engineering education community maybe needed to understand this concern fully.Recommendations for ASEE support to veteransThe ultimate purpose of the roundtable was to identify ways that ASEE could support veteranengineering education, relevant veteran diversity research, and engagement within the veterancommunity. With discussion from the affinity mapping exercise fresh in mind, a brain writingexercise was used to develop actionable ideas.Each attendee was given a brain writing 6-3-5 worksheet [30] with the following prompt: “Howcan ASEE support 1) engineering education, 2) relevant diversity research, and 3) engagement ofthis community

increasingly popular in recentyears; backward design is a method of design that begins with the end in mind.2 The main principles of this process call for curriculum developers to first determine what students should know and be able to do at the completion of a unit. Great success has been found inthe backward design movement, and teachers are finding opportunities for implementation ofbackward design in their classrooms.3-5In 2002, the International Technology and Engineering Educators Association (ITEEA) updatedtheir earlier published book: Standards for Technological Literacy: Content for the Study ofTechnology (STL).1 This document helped to set forth the expectations, benchmarks, standards,and learning outcomes
, and the difference compared with Group C, university visitors, is statisticallysignificant. The higher score is likely due to the environmental engineering students, many ofwhom are female and are expected to want to do good for society [10]. However, it does notexplain why the environmentally and socially minded secondary school students are notdrawn into engineering.Being a male predicts interest in technology more than being a Scientist or an Idealist. It alsopredicts an interest in engineering studies more than the Scientist orientation. This stronggender-related divide has been found to be typical especially for the economically developedcountries with high levels of gender equality. It has been suggested to relate to the gender
reflections isthat “doing something” was at the forefront of Watt’s mind, a more seasoned professor amongus, who was aware of other groups she’d been involved with that never moved past the planningstage. Bernal, though--our newest faculty member and an engineer--took for granted that theprogram would come to fruition. While the seasoned communication professor was impressedthat “we took the idea from inception to implementation in one year,” the new engineeringprofessor hadn’t considered one year to be a particularly quick timeframe. A related key traitthat all three share is accepting the need to do things “on the fly”; for instance, we agreed from

]. Engineering faculty frequently provide closed-ended,decontextualized technical problems to solve, which sends the message that social considerationsare either irrelevant or of significantly lesser importance. Prior research has suggested thatsociotechnical integration could benefit engineering students by allowing them to think moresociotechnically and better develop engineering habits of mind [2].Sociotechnical integration refers to the integration of the social and technical dimensions ofengineering problems [3]. Such an integration is integral to engineering work [1], but often notmade visible in engineering education. Furthermore, sociotechnical thinking refers to ability toidentify, address, and account for “the interplay between relevant social

they need to communicate theirmeaning-making and its value to others? The purpose of this paper is to describe a newlyrequired course, The Art of Telling Your Story, for undergraduates in biomedical engineering atone highly selective STEM-focused university. In this course, students develop and sharepowerful stories of events that transformed them in some meaningful way. The course instructorand students engage in joint dialogues around these stories that build self-concept and that helpthem to see themselves as being entrepreneurially minded. Preliminary findings suggest thatstudents: 1) thoroughly enjoy the course, but more importantly, 2) explore their unique identities,and 3) improve their self-concept clarity. In this paper, we describe
ideas, which helped them to minimize evaluation of early ideas. They aimed togenerate a specific number of ideas and further used idea generation techniques such as MindMapping, Brainstorming, Design Heuristics, and Functional Decomposition to expand thepossible number of concepts. For example, Brian used Mind Mapping to come up with sub-component ideas and synthesized whole idea by combining various sub-components. Ideationtechniques helped students to come up with a larger number of ideas that varied. Currently, only a few engineering courses provide explicit instruction on promotingcreativity in idea generation and problem solving [39-42]. A common instructional method inengineering to encourage creative problem solving is through

Factors Influencing the Interest Level of Secondary Students going into STEM fields and their parents’ perceived interest in STEM (Evaluation)Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines are essential to societyand to competing in the global economy [1]. The role of STEM education has evolved fromproviding students with STEM content knowledge and understanding, to preparing students to beinterested in and committed to pursuing careers in the STEM workforce. According to thePresident’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, “We must prepare all students,including girls and minorities, who are underrepresented in these fields, to be proficient in STEMsubjects. And we must inspire all students to learn STEM
