He also explores applications of task-based language teaching in the pedagogy of revitalization. His practitioner papers analyze integrated content and language instruction, academic English instruction for graduate students, and asset-based
in ways that reinforce existing power structures. This underscores theimportance of critically assessing educational materials for their role in upholding or challenginghegemonic narratives within the engineering discipline and broader society–an avenue that wewish to explore further.From an STS perspective, policy is considered an integral part of infrastructure, as it shapes thecontext of the specific places in which scientific and technological work unfolds. Policies dictatewhat is built, how it is used, who has access to it, and the norms of its use and conversely, theconsequences of a lack of transparent policy around how spaces are regulated. Yet, policies alsomust be translated and performed, and those performances are in part guided

In what follows, we shareideas from the literature and from our own observations about engagement-related conflict ondesign teams, and then address the use of MR simulations in educational environments.Engagement-Related Conflict on Engineering Design TeamsTeam-based work is a fundamental tenant of design thinking and the work of an engineer; it iscritical that undergraduate engineering programs include team-based design projects throughoutthe curriculum [1]. The literature has reported on the benefits of and best practices for studentsengaged in team-based design projects [2-4]. Also addressed in the literature are challengesrelated to teamwork, especially with respect to conflicts related to interpersonal dynamics

disconnected students would participate at much lower rates than before 2020.This concern generally came true for many student chapters based on discussions amongst theAmbassadors in the last two-plus years [26]. Thus, starting with the Ambassadors’ ambition toincrease student engagement in the student chapters, a goal-setting workshop built uponentrepreneurial mindset’s 3 C’s (Curiosity, Connections, and Creating value) was proposed anddeveloped.The connection between the entrepreneurial mindset framework and the goal-setting objective ofthe workshop merits further elucidation. First, the workshop’s activities followed the 3 Cs, whichis analogous to and loosely based upon the Integrating Curriculum with Entrepreneurial Mindset(ICE) workshops that has

towards a fuller understanding of self as an engineer within society, we can thinkabout scaffolding understanding in ways that integrate all aspects of self within classroom contexts. Wenote here that Enola’s own viewpoint on engineering education is less integrative of identity at themoment, so even if her professors asked her how they could change the curriculum to be more culturallyresponsive to her, she may not have a clear answer. Once again, we suggest thinking about this not as ablame for specific professors involved, but as a responsibility professors have to try to understand,scaffold, and structure class to support her development as an Indigenous student within engineering andall that entails.Implications for Broadening Participation

to recognize that thebarriers were factors for a lack of participation. Having this knowledge serves as an opportunityfor institutions to develop intervention to increase participation. Despite sharing similar barriers,a majority of active students perform better in academics which is assessed through theirself-reported GPA as depicted in Figure 4. In the case study interviews, we found that someparticipants faced similar barriers later on in their education, but were able to overcome themwhen they began to integrate and involve themselves in extra/co-curricular activities.The case-study interview participants have reaped the benefits of community of practice.

evolving technological landscape. By equipping graduates with a morecomprehensive skill set and deeper understanding of the field, it is hypothesized that they will bebetter positioned to secure higher-paying jobs and contribute more effectively to the economy.Moreover, to gain exposure to modern technologies used in the industry, students need to gettrained with the latest tools and techniques. An extension of the degree program allows thestudents to delve deeper into these modern technologies and gain hands-on experience thatdirectly aligns with industry requirements. To achieve this goal, the addition of specializedcourses and internships into the curriculum will ensure that graduates are well-prepared to enterthe workforce and excel in their

describes the redesign and implementation of a course that introduces engineeringstudents to social entrepreneurship within the context of sustainability, at the University ofPittsburgh. Throughout the semester, the course focuses on three overarching topics: the conceptof wicked problems, the concept of sustainability and climate change (as an example of a wickedproblem), and social entrepreneurship. The author took responsibility of this course in 2015, andthis paper focuses on the redesign of this course since that time.This course is an elective that is mostly taken by junior and senior engineering students of allengineering disciplines at the university. Throughout the semester, students are introduced toentrepreneurship topics, the

The design report evaluation test reported positive resultsfor MEA online courses [24].Study 2Another study by Chatterjee et al. (2016) [21] investigates the design of an asynchronous onlineengineering classroom, focusing specifically on cognitive radio networks. A prominent feature ofthe course design is the emphasis on various assessment methods, including asynchronous onlinediscussions, virtual labs, open-ended module assignments, and a final project. Central to thisapproach is the integration of feedback mechanisms within these assessment methods [21]. Theeducational strategies in this study stray away from the traditional
instance, cultural, economic, and governance factors are typically included in this dimension[18]. Ecological dimensions can consist of a variety of features and processes related to theenvironment, such as characteristics of the soil, hydrological processes, aspects of the localvegetation, and the weather and climate of a site location [17, 18]. Technical dimensions caninclude any factors related to the built environment, such as building materials and resources [17,18]. These three dimensions interact with one another, creating an integrated system [18].We conceptualize sustainability around the social-ecological-technological systems framework.This approach is similar to other researchers’ approaches in the field of urban policy andecosystems

One may have noticed that twopossible courses listed in the certificate curriculum include a course on Programmable LogicControllers (PLCs) and its associated lab and a course on Biomedical Wireless Networks and itsassociated lab. These courses give IoT certificate students the ability to pick up some basic skillsabout these topic areas without taking the entire two-year programs that those courses areassociated with. This is an exciting and rapidly growing area with the additional promise of built-in machine learning (ML) driving the artificial intelligence (AI) aspects of these IoT enabledcontrol systems. The inter-disciplinary nature of the IoT area will most likely drive othersolutions to provide the skill
