engineering education isrelatively new [1]. To date, much of this research has focused on and/or included participantswho are Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) and service academy cadets or military-affiliated students, such as military spouses and dependents [1]–[3]. While research conductedwith these populations is undoubtedly important, cadets and military-affiliated students havedifferent educational experiences than those who have served or are serving. Generally, existingresearch in engineering education has focused on questions of why military students choose themilitary and engineering as careers [4]–[7], how military student identities are negotiated duringthe transition between the military to school [4], [5], and the factors that

Our lived experiences suggest that white women within the academy areoften engaged in an ongoing struggle that in many ways parallels the historical struggles of white women.We turn to Schuller[5] again to describe them: ● White feminists “fight for the full political and economic advantages that wealthy white men enjoy within capitalist empire” ● “Approach...the lives of Black and Indigenous people, other people of color, and the poor as raw

The EERI often uses scenarios in which studentsmust decide whether or not to report a situation to a professor or team-lead. They take on a roleat the periphery of the engineering profession.

Manufacturing Education for Engineers Manufacturing education is a type of education that focuses on teaching individuals the skillsand knowledge they need to work in the manufacturing industry. This may include technicalskills such as operating machinery, as well as a broader understanding of the manufacturingprocess and how different parts of a manufacturing facility work together [17]. Manufacturingeducation can be obtained through a variety of programs, including vocational schools,community colleges, and four-year universities. The goal of manufacturing education is toprepare individuals for careers in this important industry, which plays a vital role in theeconomy. Manufacturing coursework is

isbecoming increasingly important in many industries and organizations. The ability to effectivelycollect, store, process, and analyze large-scale data sets is becoming critical for businesses to gaininsights, make informed decisions, and stay competitive. As a result, there is a growing demandfor professionals who have the skills and knowledge to work with big data systems. A big datasystems course can provide students with the skills and knowledge they need to work with large-scale data sets and use data-driven approaches to solve real-world problems. It can also preparestudents for careers in a variety of industries, such as finance, healthcare, e-commerce, and more.The objective of this work in progress is to share the experience of designing a

The original intention from stakeholders when developingthe experience was that the two courses would be strongly integrated (i.e., coupled) across alldimensions. For example, instructors would collaborate on course design and curriculum, thematerial students received passively in lecture would be applied actively in lab, and instructionalscaffolding would be prioritized (Kanu, 2017).
