-seated beliefs about the curriculum that were the cause ofthe problem they wished to examine. In the short workshop time available, we were not able todislodge these beliefs.Recommendations for staff developers and workshop organizersBased on our reflective analysis of the workshops conducted to date we make the followingrecommendations as initial determinants:1. The participants should be required to pre-read the materials and to complete pre-workshopactivities to explore their own problems. Also, workshop leaders should communicate the entirecourse content to the participants in advance of the workshop, allowing for modifications. If wehad, the participants could have framed their problems in light of the planned discussion. Thefacilitators
The purpose of this activity was to establish a shared definition of impact and Impact subsequently document the impact we had during the first five semesters of our positions. We operationalized impact using London’s [7] framework to capture our scientific, societal, and contextual impact. As individuals, we completed reflections describing the impact we had, the areas we wanted to impact, and the strategic or intentional actions we planned to take to accomplish our goals. We subsequently discussed how our proposed impacts evolved based on our experiences. Reflexivity The purpose of this activity was to expand our understanding of the

who attend the regular scheduled lectures andcomplete all course assignments, multiple weekly SI leader led teaching sessions, evaluation ofsessions by SI supervisors for feedback and improvement, weekly planning and coordination ofsession content between SI-leader and course instructor. Prior to the class start date, SI leadersreceive training on session preparation and teaching pedagogy, and work with SI supervisors andfaculty to continually monitor and modify session content. SI was developed around acombination of learning theories [5], cognitive development principles [6], societalinterdependence principles [7], and interpretive principles [8]. Specifically, the fouraforementioned gaps applicable to technical computing can be filled by
ProjectGoalsFigure 5: A summary of student survey results on effectiveness of course project in achieving learning objectives.The results of the self-evaluating survey overall demonstrate that the project has been effective inimproving students’ programming skills, as well as showing them the software-hardwareconnection and real world applications of programming in practice. The effectiveness of theproject in introducing IoT to students can be improved by dedicating more time to this topic andcovering more background and implementation methods in the field of IoT. In addition, in futurestudies we plan to utilize other quantification methods in addition to student surveys such as examgrades and project grades. These will create a more comprehensive measure
this project will inform the development of a modelof DLI in engineering that can be used by teachers and practitioners in both K-12 andundergraduate educational environments. This model will be translated into standards-alignedinstructional materials, including videos, lesson plans, and curricular units, and will be madewidely available to ensure that all students have access to high-quality, authentic engineeringcontent. For example, a K-12 science curriculum could be coupled with a model of DLI inengineering to encourage students to use authentic engineering literacy practices to solve grade-appropriate design problems. Similarly, for undergraduate engineering education, DLI couldsupport a problem-based learning (PBL) engineering pedagogy

will help us understand the impact of culture on students’ motivations and goals.Results from this study can aid in identifying factors that are crucial for retention in engineeringand increasing the U.S. STEM workforce. Identification of cultural factors that contribute tointerest and motivation, thereby informing career choice, are important when designing curriculaand messaging. The research plan is motivated by the need to increase the number of women inengineering and reduce the gender gap. This study will not only provide insight into primaryfactors that impact student motivations in career choice from a cultural perspective, but willreveal gender messaging in the U.S. as the Moroccan students adapt to the U.S. culture.Future workFuture
evaluator revealed thatstudents have become their own advocates for EBIPs in the classroom in the engineering unit.COPUS results indicate that the student listening time in classrooms was reduced by an averageof 21.4%.The REFLECT team noticed that the engineering faculty found the project particularly helpfulfor formation of research projects and cross-campus networks. One observation pair found aproject that connected environmental engineering and biology, and they recently published ajoint paper [10]. Connecting faculty and creating community was a goal of the project, makingthis insight particularly positive.Future work on the REFLECT project will focus on increasing the number of universities andfaculty using the process. We plan to continue
resist this standardization. ● Energy efficiency is not the be-all and end-all: Reflection questions that are built into class activities begin to reveal to students that energy efficiency is not always the answer. For example, while the U.S. has a fixation with maximizing the energy efficiency of appliances, much of Europe passively cools buildings by manipulating air flow during certain times of the day. Students learn to consider how heating and cooling are actualized based on culture, climate, and resources.In our poster, we will also report on how students respond to this approach (this data is currentlybeing collected.). In the final year of the project, we plan to offer the course a second time,improving our

A significant factorin the growth of this sector was recent public and private investments across NYS.In Governor Andrew Cuomo’s 2012 New York State of the State Address, he announced TheBuffalo Billion, where the state would invest $1 billion dollars in the Buffalo area forinfrastructure and equipment to attract private firms in the high-tech industry to the area. TheBuffalo Billion Investment Development Plan focused on three core sectors; advancedmanufacturing, health and life sciences, and tourism, to be developed through three corestrategies; workforce development, entrepreneurship, and Smart Growth [3]. These initiativespoint toward the future of

Three of the key outcomes of engineering education are: to prepare engineeringstudents to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems, to apply engineeringdesign to produce solutions, and to function effectively on a team [3
following section provides a brief review of the research literature that ispertinent to this study. First, we examine misconceptions about engineering. Second, weexplore different engineering education curriculums for use in the elementary classroom.Finally, we examine the use of drawings to explicate student understanding of engineering. Student Misconceptions about Engineers. Trevelyan (2019) states that “engineers arepeople with technical knowledge and foresight who conceive, plan, and organize delivery,operation, and sustainment of man-made objects and systems. These objects and systems enablepeople to do more with less effort, time, materials, energy, uncertainty, health risk, andenvironmental disturbances” (paragraph 5). However, many
