American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Mentoring Correlates to Characteristics of University K-12 Outreach Programs: Survey Findings (Fundamental)AbstractEffective mentorship between faculty and undergraduate students has been recognized by theNational Academies as an avenue to address issues of diversity and identity in Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Mentoring relationships may also form inother contexts, such as between undergraduates and K-12 students in K-12 STEM outreachprograms. A survey was administered to university faculty / staff who coordinate K-12 STEMoutreach programs to

engineering design, such as systematic contexts, decision making, and collaboration [25].But in the meantime, the engineering design could be an effective activity for teaching liberalarts and engineering students how technology and society interact from the perspective of thecreator of technology, the designer or engineer [26]. In other words, engineering design acts as abridge that smoothly connects between liberal arts and engineering education. Most liberal artsuniversities expose freshmen to engineering design in their first year. On the one hand, first-yearstudents in general lack a clear understanding of the engineering profession and its differentdisciplines. Students are vulnerable to pursuing majors that diverge from their career

Likewise, the responsesfrom the second engineering class survey administration have been combined. These datasets arereferred to as ENG #1 and ENG #2, respectively. The results from the first and secondadministration in the BCOM class are labeled as BCOM #1 and BCOM #2, respectively.

Recentpolicies for STEM education reform aim for “lifelong access to high-quality STEM education”and for the United States to be “the global leader in STEM literacy, innovation, andemployment” [17]. These aims require us to provide college- and career-readiness, qualitySTEM instruction, and accessibility to technology as a civil right for all STEM students [16].Through a social justice perspective, we can use engineering as an instrument for informedcitizenship, action and agency, critical thinking in our

Towards the end of the week, participants were given unstructured time with lab instructors so they could work on their Rube Goldberg projects during lab time and ask questions as needed. Staff, instructors, and counselors had a diverse range of personal and technical backgrounds. Multiple engineering disciplines were represented within the group, as well as experience levels within these disciplines; including undergraduates, recent college graduates, and established professionals within their field. The diversity allowed for multiple perspectives from a technological and logistics standpoint as the

not only focuses on the noveltyand usefulness of a product, but also morality and ethicality [8]. In addition, every field tends todefine creativity differently as it relates to that field, but most people view creativity as highlyvaluable [9].Creativity in Engineering. Creativity is increasingly essential to engineering. It is listed as thethird most important skill for an engineer to have [10]. The core of engineering is to solve real-world problems. In order to do this, engineers have to apply scientific principles in creative waysto develop effective and efficient solutions [11]. The problems we face today are becoming morecomplex as technology advances, therefore the solutions to these problems are required to bemore creative [12, 13
