Twenty-four reflection assignments (see Table 1 for assignment questions)from Fall 2019 (12 students) and Fall 2020 (12 students) were analyzed with NVivo. Courses inboth semesters were taught by the same instructor in the same format. Fall 2019 was conductedin a

based on the input data. In addition, the instructor and students discuss how using non-calibrated instruments can lead to incorrect measurements, which in turn can have a significant impact on engineering projects, such as monitoring of engineering structures with implications to the community and safety.Discussion and ConclusionsIncreasing student motivation and confidence to participate in class activities is important formathematics and statistics classes that are aimed to build strong knowledge foundations inengineering students. Average grades from previous years indicates an average 75% to 78%,which reflects that there is room for improvement. For instance, in 2019 the number of numericalmath problems in math 140

Nearly twelve thousand alumni who earned engineering degrees from a large,public university in the southwestern U.S. within the past 15 years were invited to participate inan online survey via an initial invitation email and two reminder emails sent over the course of atwo-week period.

In 2018, the Task Force designed two surveys to gather information from academia and industry on the key Data Science computing competencies. In 2019, they presented these competencies at conferences and meetings and gathered the comments and suggestions from the data science community [17]. Throughout 2019 and 2020, the Task Force continued to solicit comments and suggestions from the data science community and in 2021 the revised list of competencies was published in the January 2021 Computing Competencies

insight into how to support all students to equitablyengage in interdisciplinary STEM+CS instruction. Specifically, this paper addresses thefollowing research questions: (1) In what ways do elementary teachers verbally support theintegration of science and computer science into engineering lessons and to what extent are thesesupports planned in curricular materials or added in-the-moment? (2) To what extent do teachers’verbal supports for integration differ between two different classroom contexts?BackgroundEngineering in elementary classrooms National frameworks call for K-12 students to engage in engineering projects thatintegrate science, mathematics, and computer science (American Society for EngineeringEducation (ASEE), 2020; NRC
allowed ‘assimilation time’ for students to understand the concepts, put them intopractice, and reflect on their learning.Details of the courses have been previously covered in many other ASEE documents[6,7,8,9]and other publications. [16] While the specific learning tools and instructionaltechniques in the LLL course series evolved somewhat over time, its core course structure,objectives and components remained stable. A summary of the objectives and student learningoutcomes, as originally conceived, for each of the LLL course series segments is provided here: Leveraging Leadership for a Lifetime I (ETLS 550) (offered as the initial course in the MSTM program). This course provides a comprehensive orientation to the newly accepted student

The participants were in their first and second yearsand from different majors. Later, the activity was tested in senior design courses in Electrical andComputer Engineering in Spring/Summer 2020 and Electromechanical Engineering in Spring2020.MappingWhile the students explain their answers to the original questions (step 7 from above
American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) recently reaffirmed its commitment todiversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) to support engineering students and faculty from allbackgrounds. The statement powerfully stated that diverse backgrounds and experiences shouldbe seen as a source of strength and growth rather than something that separates us. However, DEIis not seen as simply a matter of recruiting more students from underrepresented groups; in orderto promote DEI, systemic barriers must be eliminated [2]. One of these barriers is the way thatengineering programs grade students. Programs no longer need to “weed out” students; rather,they need to support as many students as possible to develop the large number of engineers thatour society

The relationship between the mentor and menteeis said to be successful because the participants are close in their matriculation. Thiscloseness helps the mentor communicate and the mentee views the mentor as more relatable.The Walter Reed Army Institute of Research
timeoutside of class, in addition to spending more time in class (Table 1), did not result in the first-year students achieving the same level of measured proficiency in AutoCAD and surveying(Figure 3).
