Students, Self-Efficacy, STEM identity, Engineering Design Process, informaleducationIntroductionSTEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education is a critical component ofmodern education and workforce, as it provides students with the skills and knowledge necessaryto succeed in today’s rapidly changing technological landscape, but it is not always accessible toeveryone. The equity gap in STEM education is a significant issue, and individuals from low-income communities often lack the STEM experiences that their more affluent peers receive [1].To address this gap, educators are exploring new ways to engage students in STEM experiencesthat promote positive associations. A positive class experience can impact students in profoundways, for

The paper will describe this class project for a 3 semester-hour EAPM coume entitled, Manufacturing andProduction Engineering. It was the first time the teaching factory approach was used in the EAPM program. Thispaper will discuss the project description, requirements and expectations, project organization, performanceresults, and the lessons learned.II.

in global engineering education (GEE). By GEE, we meaneducating engineers with a global mindset to improve their Global Competency. This can bedone in many ways and many conference papers explain how a given university has createdprograms to help engineers be exposed to global technology, culture, communication andcollaboration. Typical programs offer study abroad for engineering students, but some also offermulti-national teaming on projects with common objectives.Conferences and symposia have their place, but sometimes the participants need extended timefor goal-directed discussion. With this purpose in mind, faculty who were known to be involvedin GEE programs gathered for a workshop held at Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona

In particular the relationship of science and technology to social systems and political policy.The objective has been to identify the student with the concept of an emerging professional. Inthat context the issues of social

Introduction of new technology, in-class problem solving,and discussion sessions are important factors in the enhancement of students’ deep understanding ofmathematics. At the University of Central Florida the College of Engineering and the Department ofMathematics are “team teaching” calculus for engineering majors in a “high tech” classroom. Theinstructional delivery involves group work combined with the use of computer technology to analyzethe relationship between the physical problems and the mathematical modelsI.

As a final note we suggest that all industries in engineering andtechnology would benefit greatly from this cross-discipline approach to evaluating cyber-securityearly within the educational process.IntroductionAs we advance in the information age we are increasingly aware of the threat that cyber-terrorists pose to United States government and military networks around the world. In the past,information technology did little more for the government than to aid government offices inadministrative tasks, but has now become a critical part of military operations globally.
