Forinstance, in such research conducted in an elementary school, we see how students are able toidentify and frame engineering problems in their own school that affect the students, and alsothat even young students can make predictions and plan testing of their prototypes when they aredesigning with contexts they understand in mind [76]. And in research conducted using a gamein which girls role-played as mechanical engineers, the girls developed engineering skills andknowledge, and these were particularly supported by having a client and reflecting on progress ina notebook [10

Since the publication of a Nation at Risk 19 (1983),schools across the U.S. have sought to meet a growing demand from business and government toincrease the level of academic rigor in disciplines, such as mathematics and science for allstudents. Enhancing the quality of mathematics and science curricula remains as a priority forour nation’s educational institutions.

WISEngineering builds from aninformed engineering design pedagogy, knowledge integration learning framework and the open-source Web-based Inquiry Science Environment technologies. WISEngineering uses engineeringdesign modules to facilitate engineering habits of mind such as systems thinking, creativity,optimism, collaboration as well as standard-based mathematics and science concepts.

way.” They were then presented with the knowledge of how a linear electromagnetic pulse, orwave traversing parallel to the axis can also produce rotational motion, but they scoffed at theidea, they said it is simply impossible, not very realistic, and instantly dismissed thatpreposterous idea out of their minds. Just imagine the thought! A Spiral Helix Motor usessimple fundamental physics to do exactly that, it achieves rotation by using a linearelectromagnetic pulse traversing parallel to the axis while interacting with a spiral helixmagnetic array construct on the driveshaft. It is revolutionary concept for electrical engineering,but it uses simple, pure, fundamental physics that is easy to understand. All that is different, isthat the

with their sexist remarks, men demonstrate a decline in theuse of sexist language and implement compensatory behaviors [17]. With this in mind, directadvocating strategies may yield the best outcomes in academic and professional settings.ConclusionsGender stereotyping and bias are persistent throughout STEM fields in both academics and industry.Our results showed that female engineering students use numerous strategies to deal with genderstereotype or bias experiences. The strategies can be classified inside two themes: Concede andAdvocate. Conceding strategies were composed of acknowledgement, avoidance and moodstrategies. On the other hand, advocating strategies were divided in direct and indirectapproaches.The kind of strategy employed was

Appendix A summarizes each ofthe topical areas of the course notes. The notes are built in complexity both in terms ofphysiological systems and mathematical concepts. The course notes assumed no prior knowledgeof System Characterization beyond the ability for students to identify if the system is open orclosed, and the extensive property of interest based on pre-requisite course knowledge.

. Those criteria were updated and can be found in full in the article, “Best STEMBooks” (NSTA, 2017). Best STEM Books need to address one STEM field, and must invite“STEM-like thinking.” Much of this thinking overlaps with habits of mind and practices withinengineering design. The best STEM trade books invite STEM-like thinking by:• Modeling real-world innovation • Addressing connections between STEM• Embracing real-world design, invention disciplines and innovation • Exploring Engineering Habits of Mind• Connecting with authentic experiences o Systems thinking• Showing assimilation of new ideas o Creativity• Illustrating

therefore have more of aneed for resources (i.e., counseling, mental health services). Although this need is there, areduction in the stigma surrounding mental health is still required so that engineering studentsare more open to the idea of using the resources offered at their respective universities.Research DesignIn this study, we use the lens of social identity theory to conduct an exploratory quantitativeanalysis of existing data. Data was collected by institutions of higher education using validatedinstruments organized by the Healthy Minds Network [20]. Data was accessed upon request tothe Healthy Minds Network in an anonymized format. As such, our procedures for data accesswere except an Institutional Review Board. Taking advantage of the
process, so they chose to refer to the engineering design as a designloop. I suggested to students that scientists use the scientific method to answer questions whileengineers use the engineering process to solve problems. Students were excited to hear that wewould be using the engineering design process in the following lessons, while keepingexperiment guidelines in mind as to not change variables inappropriately. If done differently,students would do some pre-research on boats so they could compare and contrast their designsas well as gather information on how boats float. The group design task would also include theconsideration as to the purpose of the boat in the context of real life and allow them to choose aboat to hold cargo or
design from the start. The fifth principle is to ensure allscience and mathematics concepts, and technology tools employed are necessary forstudents’ successful completion of the STEM-design projects. With these principles inmind, the next step is to examine classroom enactments of the curriculum, focusing onthe extent to which students apply mathematics and science concepts to their designwork and the challenges and affordances for doing so (Berland, 2013).Effective Instructional Methodologies Contemporary engineering education should emphasize the design process,challenge-based learning, and other engineering habits of mind (Berland, Martin, Ko, etal., 2013). The results of Berland, Martin, Ko, et al.’s (2013) study revealed that as

For thosewho felt that they fit the engineering mold, an uncanny confidence came through when theywould define what engineering is and how they saw themselves in engineering. The opposite wasfound for those who did not fit the mold or believed themselves not to. “Um, the reason why I wanna become an engineer, um, just basically be able to use creativity towards exploration where I can actually feel like I'm actually using my mind and my creativity. Not just sitting down, doing office work being a robot, you know, I just wanna basically be part of the future. Just like, uh, Okay. I'll just say, just my personal thing.
