Their findings were that students who had taken more Science, Technology,Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) or health sciences courses posted lower end of yearethical growth. This might be caused by a lack of emphasis on ethical considerations in STEMand health sciences courses. The study concluded that students’ ethical growth was highest whenthey participated in activities that expose them to multiple viewpoints and different perspectivesof ethical issues.Trice measured engineering students’ pre- and post-ethics course ethical levels and found thatethics education, especially one that is geared for

To meet this projected demand, STEM professions must prioritize recruitment.Outreach initiatives are well-known recruitment tools that professionals in industry and academiacan implement to encourage student recruitment into STEM degree fields. While most outreachinitiatives typically focus on high school students, research shows that students’ career decisionsare influenced at a much earlier age. Therefore, it is necessary for industry and academia totarget an even younger demographic all the way to kindergarten and first grade. This paperhighlights different outreach initiatives developed in academia and industry to teach K-12students about STEM. The

This AR-based supplementary learning tool is ready for use in the HVAC class forthis coming spring semester, and the app’s effectiveness will be more comprehensively evaluatedonce students in the class adopt the tool. Conclusion: A well-designed AR learning app willeffectively guide students to perform hands-on experiments related to the HVAC course. Thealternative pedagogy through AR technology also provides an efficient way to deliver practicalexperience online, especially when on-campus lab resources are limited or people are sheltered athome during natural disasters like the COVID-19 pandemic.Key Words: Covid-19, Engineering education
