Develop technological currency in the student body.The first priority was identified as the most important with the other two priorities to be carriedout with an eye toward the first. A couple challenges affect the primary goal. First, unlike mostU.S. research institutions with a seperate college of engineering, CSE grants degrees in thephysical sciences, math, computer science, and engineering. Students in science and math areless encouraged by their course curriculum to seek out the use of design and prototypingresources so those students need additional programming and attention if the Anderson Labs is tomore closely reflect the diversity of the college as a whole. Second, the primary space is locatedin the Mechanical

Counseling and Educational Psychology New Mexico State University IntroductionIn the early 1980’s Congress requested that the National Science Foundation (NSF) provideeducational and professional development opportunities for people of color, women, and peoplewith disabilities pursuing a career in the sciences and engineering [1]. Although the number ofunderrepresented groups pursing degrees and careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, andMathematics (STEM) is increasing – the number of people from underrepresented communities,such as Hispanic or Latino, as well as women, remains unequal [2].Engineering is a STEM domain in which underrepresented groups continue to remain

is a complete evidence-based practice paper. The purpose of pilot study is to evaluate first-year engineering student’s technical confidence and to begin understanding how they experiencetechnical aspects of a hands-on open-ended physical computing design project. A mixed-methodapproach was utilized to explore freshmen (n = 51) learning experiences with the technology andtinkering aspects of the communication and introduction to engineering design course. Atechnical problem-solving and tinkering self-efficacy instrument developed by Baker et al.(2015) was used pre and post to assess changes in student’s technology self-efficacy.

industry drives an increasingly diverse populationin terms of majors, interests, and experiences towards introductory and advanced courses (Foster, et al., 2018;Erdil, et al., 2019). A thoughtfully-designed survey course can balance the needs of various subgroups andrealize the potential to influence students’ attitudes and beliefs, develop career intentions, and teach coreconcepts.A first-year integrated college curriculum has been a common practice across many engineering and sciencedisciplines for years (Cordes, et al., 1997; Bazylak & Wild, 2007). In these approaches for common curriculumdesign, all those first-year students admitted to programs of study in engineering, technology, applied sciencesand other related fields are offered
