analytical thinking pervades engineering design activities,the integration of the performance of components and sub-systems is vital to the success of allbut the simplest design problems. Consequently, the role of systems thinking is vital in solvingcomplex engineering design challenges while simultaneously considering environmental issues,safety, ethical implications, and economic factors [11]. Systems thinking permits students “tobreak out of the narrow definition of a problem and reflect on the relevant systems and how theyaffect, and in turn are affected by, new and improved technologies” [12]. By integrating systemsthinking experiences into early engineering design challenges, students may become moreexcited about engineering, while learning

engagement with others in particular sociocultural contexts. Performative autoethnography views the personal as inherently political, focuses on bodies-in-context as co-performative agents in interpreting knowledge, and holds aesthetic crafting of research as an ethical imperative of representation. (loc. 21019)Developed by Victor and Edith Turner, and Edward Bruner in the 1980s, performanceethnography (and by extension, performance autoethnography) is an inquiry strategy that haspolitical purposes for inciting others to action and strengthening commitment to performativecitizenship, a kind of civic-minded discourse [6]. Performance brings with it a way of knowingin an embodied act of interpretation [6], the active part of the
about ethical, racial, and cultural diversity determines their instructionaldiversities” (p. 126), and plurality in class. Teachers’ awareness of students’ cultures can betterequip them to interact with diverse students [12]. The plurality in culturally responsive teachingtheory reflects cultural synergies within the class, developed from the notion that race, class,culture, ethnicity, and gender shape the diverse students’ learning styles, requiring multipleinstructional strategies for the common learning outcomes [12]. Therefore, cultural synergies canbe viewed from three aspects. It requires various teaching techniques in class to accommodatevarious students’ learning styles; it is reflected on relevant curriculum by locally
support from a school administrator, and committed to launch or expand a STEM cluband assist in nominating students to attend STEM summer camps. Five schools provided schoolteams for the 2019-2020 school year. Several additional schools expressed interest prior to thesummer institute, but they chose to delay their participation to a future date. Each participantreceived a $1,200 stipend plus housing and travel costs for the summer institute. Each schoolreceived $3,000 engineering curriculum and materials for supporting up to 50 students in STEMclubs plus an additional $1,500 for flexible spending toward STEM-Club activities (e.g., 3Dprinter, virtual reality headset, etc.).

In the spring semester, topics of descriptive statistics andmodelling, statics, electrical circuits, mass and energy balance, and algorithmic thinking throughMATLAB and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) were covered.Students were grouped into teams of 3-4 members, formed at the beginning of each semester.Teams were required to work on 5 design and modelling projects through the course of 2semesters. Project evaluations emphasized design process over project outcome, in line withMichael and Sweet’s definition of TBL [37].

” competencies after surveying employers todetermine a clearer definition of what encompasses career readiness [28]. These competenciesare Professionalism, Critical Thinking, Leadership, Communication, Teamwork, Technology,Global Citizenship and Career Management. Professionalism is the competency thatencompasses appropriate behavior, timeliness, and professional attire in the workplace. CriticalThinking is comprised of creating decisive solutions within the confines of competing ideas.Leadership prompts one to show selflessness, placing team and its success as priority. Thosewho have this skill are believed to maintain high ethical standards and are good at delegatingtasks. Communication entails written and oral; proper etiquette in correspondence is

Despite rising career prospects in the region, the programhad been struggling not only to attract, but also to retain majors, and the decision was made torethink the introductory course in an effort to strengthen student motivation and persistencethrough the degree program and into the workforce. Four-year biomedical engineering degreeprograms typically have a different focus and larger enrollment, but comparable retention dataare not readily available.The instructor chose to redesign the course using problem-based learning (PBL). PBL is astudent-centered approach where students learn about a subject by

Many skills can be developed and trained during their academic training. Therefore, we wanted to create awareness for critical skills and important tools towards becoming a valuable asset. These include work towards becoming a critical thinker and problem solver, practice oral and written presentation skills, gain teamwork and collaborative experience, pursue leadership opportunities and peer mentorship, develop a professional work ethic, and study basic project management skills [9].Based on our post-program
these practices reflect, potentiallyobvious, expectations of an engineering intervention, the structure of the activities in themakerspace embed a lot of assumptions about the “ideal” or “successful” camp participant. As aresult, the human centered design challenges in teams reproduces cultural narratives thatprivileges students’ technical competencies and work ethic [21].Although this reproduction does not inherently have a negative impact on the inclusion ofstudents, in the context of our camp it results in who is recognized as successful. Thisreproduction privileges students with who have a high self-efficacy for building things. As aresult, through our critical reflections, we discovered that we are missing an opportunity topromote the

that we have for a design course might be that the students will learn critical processes, software tools, and professional skills that will be necessary for a job in industry whose primary responsibility is design. This broad goal might represent just one of the values we have for the course. Other values might relate to acquisition of technical knowledge or practicing certain professional skills (communication, ethics, etc.). When considering the value propositions, consider questions such as: o What value do you believe that your course has for students and other stakeholders? o If you asked your students (or other stakeholders), what value do you think they would attribute to your course
