), and students can select from the course catalog that addresses a number oftopics such as, data ethics, entrepreneurship, laboratory life, for example. These courses useapproaches aligned with the humanities and social sciences to further investigate the social andethical issues related to engineering and engineered artifacts. In their fourth-year all engineeringstudents take a yearlong course sequence in both their fall and spring semesters. This is wherethey learn about STS theories, consider various ethical frameworks and apply these concepts totheir own research topics. A graduation requirement is for all students to generate a writtenportfolio that includes a report on their technical capstone project and STS research paper thataddresses
thetraditional hands-on (i.e., laboratory) activities. The spring semester students at least had the firsthalf of the semester in-person (pre-pandemic) and while the fall semester was potentiallymodified to allow for social-distancing rules, etc., many hands-on components of the programwere reintroduced.

Measurements of Electric Conductivity, which indicates salinity, were atan average of 3,645 μS (microSiemens), with recorded numbers ranging from 1,560 μS to 4,914μS. Much higher-than-average salinity levels of 4,650 μS were recorded in the water extractedfrom the well on which the wind turbine is installed. For comparison, water salinity in the adjacentwell feeding the large irrigation basin next to the greenhouse were measured at only 470 μS. Themeasured salinity level in the pond dropped significantly after a water top-up, which was usuallydone by adding water from the

Collaborations from thesestakeholders support the translation of novel DDS from laboratory or “benchtop” research through commercialization, clinical trials and regulatory bodies and onto the patient, or “bedside” [20]. As a multidisciplinary field, researchers have contributed to engineering curriculum by developing drug delivery courses to engage engineering students with varied interest in medicine and the desire to pursue biomedical careers in pharmaceutical industries, research intensive institutions, and medical schools [21]. Historically, students enter this course with prior knowledge of chemical engineering fundamentals, and are instructed by bioengineering and chemical engineering

students in engineering education programs have typically been trained through ABET-accredited engineering programs. Despite ABET’s communication requirement, engineeringundergraduate students have limited opportunities to learn to write in their discipline [7]. Often,explicit writing instruction is limited to two courses: one in first-year writing, and one thatfocuses on engineering writing. The other writing engineering students do is integrated implicitlyin design and laboratory coursework. In these contexts, writing practices are often renderedinvisible as students are asked to fill forms, draw sketches, and incorporate appropriate equationsinto reports rather than write essays or reflections [6]. Instructors do not emphasize writingprocesses
, “Education and Training” was listed as oneof the top ten unsolved problems in InfoVis [7]. The overarching theme for the 2015 Gordon Research Conference onVisualization in Science and Education is “Grand Challenges in the Use of Visualization in Science and Education” [1].More recently, educational psychology concepts were applied to design four types of online guides for InfoVis [20].However, few works have been done for SciVis. Hertzberg and Sweetman [9] designed a flow visualization coursefocusing on studio/laboratory experiences. Wang et al. [23] presented an education tool named FlowVisual for teachingand learning 2D flow visualization and later extended it to 3D flow visualization [22].

TheNational Academy of Engineering made the same fundamental argument, noting that the originsof engineering lie in the trades with focus on producing something useful, but further points outthat the formalization of engineering education has served to further disconnect engineers inpractice and academic settings [15]. At the root of this disconnect is that so much of engineeringeducation, particularly the formal curriculum conducted in lecture halls and laboratories, is

Our original idea was to provide thefirst PL experience for the participating teachers as part of six-week-long summer internships inperson at the university research laboratories focused on biology and bio-inspired design. Thegoal of these internships is to improve engineering teachers’ knowledge of bio-inspired designby partnering with cutting-edge engineers and scientists to study animal features and behaviorsand their applications to

The collection reflects the processes of work,capturing the shift from manual to technological in the western world. Several instructors havemade a connection between the art and areas of study (see the examples above and the“laboratory” uses that follow) but it does not reflect the student, or campus experience, and thiswas the focus of the discussion in August of 2019.Students immediately articulated a wish for art that would identify the campus as a place where“we’re proud to be engineers.” A discussion of a possible mural (on the aforementionedutilitarian buildings) led into a

assumed endpoint:within a healthy watershed, all members of the ecosystem grow, develop, and flourish. Ratherthan merely being “retained” as an individual within a (neutral) pipeline, a member of anecosystem is part of a group that thrives as an interdependent collective. Metrics for the health ofan ecosystem will naturally incorporate intersectionality and complexity beyond traditionalrecruitment & retention data [12].However, despite these positive shifts from the limits of the lockstep “pipeline” to the morecapacious and humane “ecosystem,” metaphors about fostering persistence and thriving are, as arule, largely confined to the realms of STEM.
