However, as the President’sCouncil of Advisors on Science and Technology reported, the United States’ ability to addressengineering challenges in the future parallels the country’s ability to produce enough engineerswith the capabilities necessary to solve those challenges [4]–[6]. Noting the importance that NDMhave in meeting grand challenges, it is thus worth exploring the role of engineering education inproducing engineers with the necessary capability to use and build upon NDM knowledge oftheory and practice.2. The Role of Engineering Education in NDMWhile some NDM do not require any formal training, such as simple visual inspection, many othermore complicated

Engineering courses based on instructors’ experiences andpost-hoc reviews of students’ evaluations. Several students reported a lack of quality internetconnection to follow course announcements, watch the video lectures, interact with theirclassmates or course instructor, and work on assignments. Other students exhibited a lack ofdigital literacy despite having access to both quality internet access and computers. Digitalliteracy widely misidentified and often referred to as device literacy- is the ability to obtain,assess, and generate information using information and communication technologies [1]. Beingdigitally literate requires the possession of both cognitive and technical skills. Based on thisdefinition, we observed many students who

This research therefore examined if and how engineeringethics are being implemented in high school STEM education, seeking to understand teacherpractices and perspectives. While exploring these perspectives, an emergent goal of the researchbecame to determine whether teacher’s beliefs about their incorporation of ethics in their STEM-based courses matched the evidence they provided.

Feeling of isolation due to lack of interaction with peersor faculty and lack of prompt feedback have been long been identified as difficulties of onlinelearning. Students’ personal factors, for example, prior knowledge of technology or the subjectmatter affected their learning online5. Considering these factors, the author of this study hasmade several changes in an upper-level engineering course offered in Fall 2020.The objective of this study is to find if a 400-level engineering course, Engineering Hydraulics,can be taught as effectively as in F2F class.

Curricula to Engender Inclusive Professional Identities in StudentsIntroductionTo identify and solve the wicked problems [1] our society faces, science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) enterprises need a heterogeneous constellation ofperspectives, mindsets, and expertise. Diverse teams are appealing because of their documentedcapacity to outperform groups selected based only on ability when facing difficult challenges [2].However, organizational theorists note that equipping people with the skills necessary to worktogether productively on teams composed of diverse members remains a challenge [3].Additionally, the culture of engineering and computer science, in particular, is oftenunwelcoming toward those with
