In addition, students are supported by peer, faculty, and industrymentors.MotivationThe challenge of recruiting and graduating low-income engineering students is multi-faceted. Ofparticular importance to the University of Illinois at Chicago as a Minority Serving Institution, isthat racial and ethnic minoritized are often also low-income students.

Engineering Education. As a member of the Integrated STEM Education Research Center (ISERC) at LaTech, Ethan’s primary research area is engineering design education with a focus on developing prototyping skills through both class-based projects and extra-curricular clubs, competitions, and activities. This includes a focus on hand-drawn sketches and how they are used as tools for generating ideas and visual communication, es- pecially when it involves the skill to generate quick and realistic sketches of an object or idea. He has also conducted research on the impact involvement in academic makerspaces has on students in engineering programs.Dr. Robert L.

Projects include wind turbine blade mold manufacturing, molded fixtures for plas-ma torches and molds for composite parts of a human-powered boat. These activities have allyielded hands-on CNC experiences that enrich the student experience by enabling direct studentparticipation in the build process.In addition to the courses that directly use the CNC laboratory, there are several other courses(Design Lab I and Design Lab II) that use recently acquired three-dimensional printing and lasercutting equipment in their projects

This paper is intended to share formativedevelopment of a coding scheme to assess and evaluate drawings by undergraduate engineeringstudents of their engineering design process. There is a spectrum of student responses anddeveloping a taxonomy, or categorization, is helpful to better understand where students beginand end from a design project learning experience. This can then inform and illustrate the waysin which students balance breadth and depth and learn and apply their engineering know how.Design may appear throughout a curriculum or be substantiated as a capstone

Findings from surveys administeredacross three cohorts were presented, with some noted discrepancies in respondent numbers dueto survey instrument inconsistencies. Analysis consisted of summary statistics and T-tests wereused to assess the significance of difference between pre-, post-, and follow-up responses.The external evaluation consisted of a mixed-methods approach for data collection and

The experiments student teams design are performed virtually, through acomputer simulation. Thus, student teams are provided opportunities to practice the complete,iterative cycle of experimental design where they develop and refine their solution based onanalysis of experiments. Integral to their success is the ability to develop and operationalizemodels and identify appropriate strategies.

Seniordesign projects are open-ended and are similar to the research that scientists perform toward amore comprehensive understanding of nature or new scientific knowledge. As a reinforcedlearning methodology to greatly assist students’ reasoning and problem-solving skills, virtuallearning was first integrated at the planning stage of their projects. This approach is in contrastwith the typical senior design courses where only limited resources are available for planningexperiments. Using virtual learning

In yearone, the equity content was covered in isolation from the engineering projects with oneweek of equitable and inclusive STEM environment content followed by a week oftechnical experiences with the project-based engineering curriculum. In each subsequentyear, the leadership team recognized the need to better integrate these topics in futureyears to better emphasize the need for equity work to be embedded in STEM pedagogy,and not as something entirely separate.

always get that. But I think it is unique.Dominik had a similar observation about the long-term timeline for these projects andpartnerships, contrasting that timeline with more traditional design projects within the university. For example, most engineers go through a capstone program that's either six months or 12 months. That's a lot shorter than four years. And your horizon for things to go wrong and your horizon to get very deep technical in that timeframe is much less than a four- year project. So, I think it affords the opportunity to go deeper, broader, and gain skill in bringing new people into the fold, solving more technically complex problems. And it really gives the time horizon to work through

The important ways that the university environment prepared them for lifeincluded six elements. The student needed a professor that supported them, got them excitedabout learning, and encouraged their dreams. The more engaged employees also had meaningfulinternships, worked on a project that took a year or more, and were actively engaged inextracurriculars during their college career.

This study will be performed at the GeorgiaInstitute of Technology, James Madison University, and Texas States University. Participantswill be recruited from multiple engineering design classes (e.g. capstone courses) and they willself-report their engagement in the university maker space throughout their career. This data willbe used to separate the
