Results from that summer workshop indicate a range of approaches fornew engineering pathways for pre-service teacher preparation will be required to reflect theparticular culture of the universities. Potential approaches identified include:• The use of a minor in STEM education to complement an existing engineering degree, this reflects additions to existing undergraduate engineering degrees• Post-Baccalaureate degree programs –this minimizes impact to undergraduate engineering degrees• Working with educational technology programs –they tend to have greater flexibility

communications is a fundamental skill for most engineers.Typical engineering documents are visual, however simply seeing the document is not enough tobe able to interpret, reason, and communicate with it. The engineer must be able to internalizethe information into a mental map of some sort and appropriately interpret the features.This case study examines how a blind mechanical engineering student was taught and learnedbasic concepts of engineering graphical representation. Assistive technologies replaced theubiquitous computer and paper visual interfaces. The course was intended to enable the studentto develop basic mental imagery capability in engineering graphics. These capabilities provideda foundation for engineering thinking for the student and

One question they ultimately want to answer is whether thoseattitudes differ between engineering students and other students. To that end, the researcherswished to present a learning module around questions of consumption and critical economicanalysis. Outcomes assessment of student

Methods Faculty Apprentice Award in 2014. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Student Perceptions of Engineering Based Upon Participation in a Board Game (RTP)In the past decade the demand for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)professionals has increased significantly [1], thus creating a demand for improved STEMeducation. Often young students are not engaged by science and mathematics in the classroomthrough traditional teaching techniques (i.e. lectures) [2], as their learning styles are not alwaysconsidered. Felder and Silverman [3] summarized the different learning styles which includevisual/auditory, sensory/intuitive, inductive/deductive

technology the engineering schools must be focused on providing a strongeducation to students in technical fields. Our college takes this issue seriously by providingstudents with a very strong foundation of engineering education that allows them to transfersuccessfully to any four-year engineering programs. Engineering students in an academic setting do not have the environment, theresponsibilities, the demands, or the interactions with other members of an engineering team, nordo they face the real-life situations and challenges that a practicing engineer faces every day.Therefore, our program decided that our mentorship initiative must have as many professionalengineering aspects as academic ones. We built the mentoring role to be part coach

ExperiencePurposeThe national effort to remain a leader in scientific exploration and technological developmenthas redoubled educational efforts to not only introduce students to the field of engineering atyounger and younger grade levels, but also to place more effort on retaining the students whoultimately choose engineering as a career path. As a result, more institutions are placing a highervalue on first-year engineering introductory courses, a key component of retention at theundergraduate level [1].However, with engineering being an incredibly broad field, there is relatively little agreementfrom institution to institution, and often from department to department within the same college,on the content and skills to address in a first-year course [2, 3

First, we sorted the corpus into posts related to engineering, STM (science,technology and mathematics) and non-STM. Of these, there were 28 discussions explicitly relatedto engineering graduate school
