Today, we are going to be talking about an effort we’ve implemented with ourcolleagues to support rural K-12 teachers in Southwest Virginia in integrating engineering intotheir curriculum, which involves surveying and interviewing K-12 teachers about theirperceptions of effective and ineffective professional development opportunities, as well as whatthey want to know about engineering and incorporating it into their curriculum, developing andfacilitating a two-day professional development workshop for some teachers over the summer,and maintaining the relationships formed during the workshop

Boundaries of Engineering Education.AbstractGenerative artificial intelligence (GAI) has long been used across various fields; however, itsusage in engineering education has been limited. Some areas where GAI tools have beenimplemented in education include intelligent tutoring, assessment, predicting, curriculum design,and personalized student learning. The recent proliferation of CHATGPT and other GAI toolspresents limitless possibilities for transforming engineering pedagogy and assessment. At thesame time, there are challenges associated with implementation. Consequently, there is a need toconduct an empirical study to evaluate these tools' strengths, limitations, and challenges tohighlight potential opportunities for their application in

Integratingengineering standards throughout the curriculum can strengthen students’ understanding of whatstandards are and how to apply them effectively in senior design [1] and their careers.BackgroundIn 2014, an ABET review identified a weakness in the use of engineering standards in our BMEprogram.

No. However, the institutional process will need to be situated with otherentities that can build and foster an inclusive environment through intentional student successpractices and curriculum development or modifications.Given the promising outcomes of mentoring, its success relies on its implementation, structure,and stakeholders [17].

Accordingto reports from FIU’s AIM website for retention and graduation studies [13], some of theseactions and practices included:1.

While NC grades may be considered a negative impact on retention and graduation, they are less detrimental to a student’s success than Fs. Using the NC policy as an intervention helps bring about behavior change and thus increases the number of returning students.2.
