A very large number ofEA alumni described career goals in green technology, water conservation, and transportationmanagement. Now that the program has just completed its sixth year and the past delegateshave transferred to universities and are practicing engineers, the next steps would be to survey allsix cohorts.ConclusionThe Cabrillo College Engineering Abroad Program is now in its sixth year and one of the fewengineering abroad programs in the country that serves community college students. It hasengaged a total of 75 students in interdisciplinary engineering teams

, 2019 Developing a Design Tool for Solution Mapping: Translating Practitioners’ Strategies to Support Student EngineersAbstractDesign processes often start with defining a problem and diverging to identify possible solutions;however, some design processes start with technologies and diverge to consider potential problemsthat these technologies can solve. In this latter process, engineers ‘match’ their technologies toproblems, a term we define as “solution mapping.” However, limited design strategies areavailable to support solution mapping. To fill this gap, we collected data from engineeringpractitioners on their processes for solution mapping and translated those findings to a sharabledesign tool for student

Modified Cement Paste’ Research Program at an HBCUABSTRACT: Informal learning is effective in improving learning and self-efficacy through richalternative learning environments. The underrepresentation of minority women in engineeringand technology careers necessitates that historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs)engage minority middle-school girls in effective learning experiences to increase their self-efficacy and persistence. However, little is known about the learning experiences of minoritymiddle-school girls during alternative learning programs at HBCUs. Following Bandura’s self-efficacy theories and funded by the Engineering Information Foundation, a one-week science,technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM

The results showed a significant increase incampers’ self-perceived attitude in mathematics. In addition, semi-structured interviews wereconducted with 22 campers to explore how the camp experiences altered attitudes toward STEMstudy and impacted their career interest. Interview findings indicated (1) campers hadopportunities to develop STEM, robotics, and programming knowledge through various hands-on activities which made the camp fun and interesting, (2) teamwork and single-gender learningenvironment helped campers become more open to STEM subjects, and (3) coding andprogramming were two major themes in miniGEMS that

Having more engineers withdisabilities who use assistive technology themselves can only serve to make these devices moreuseful and decrease the abandonment rate of assistive technology.Undergraduate STEM education has been a topic of concern and research since the 1990s withthe publication of several reports from the National Science Foundation [4], the NationalResearch Council [5] [6] and many others. Since these reports there have been many researchstudies focused on effective teaching practices in STEM generally and for students fromtraditionally marginalized populations. One study [7

. Often it is helpful to start with a customer’snon-linear problem. Then identify ideas that could solve step 1 for teaching in the conceptualframework. Baldrige criteria in systems engineering techniques are deployed in the Ideation stepin the overall teaching of the entrepreneurship process. Following the framework in Figure 1 wegenerate in dialogue with a customer to go from a non-linear idea to a funded project plan [18].We refer to this as technical support to the marketing of technology innovation. The inputs andoutputs shown in Figure 1 provide the dynamics for the overall entrepreneurship process. Stepone consists of Idea Generation.

Advanced manufacturing covers new industrial processesthat improve upon traditional methods in quality, speed, and cost. In addition, the dynamic natureof technology and innovation has made it difficult to find a unified illustration of key advancedmanufacturing skills. However, three visual models of manufacturing illustrate variousstakeholders’ perceptions of the field
