semester.These statistics become concerning when examining the racial and gender factors related to STEMdegree attainment. Though progress has been made, a considerable gap remains betweenunderrepresented groups such as Black and Hispanic students and their white counterparts inattaining STEM degrees. According to data provided by National Science Board, from 2000 and2015, the number of science and engineering degrees awarded to Hispanic students has increasedfrom 7% to 13% compared to 61% awarded white students [29]. These minor trends significantlyimpact the professional and career trajectories of students, but limit the diversification of theSTEM workforce. For example, according to Pew Research Center Black and Hispanic groupscontinue to be
programs positioned the engineer’s role as a leader orcollaborator. Programs with an “engineering for” orientation framed leadership and collaborationskills in transactional or extractive terms - that the purpose of learning how to lead or collaboratewas to reap the greatest success for your career or your employer. This approach was commonlyfound in the international or global engineering minors, which emphasized “competency” and“effectiveness” as the goals, which would facilitate successful cross-cultural negotiation ormanagement. On the other hand, leadership or collaboration for “engineering with” relied moreon language that understood the goal to be co-development and mutuality. For example, whereother minors described the goal as solving

Because engineering graduate students, and especially doctoral students, oftenmatriculate with professional experience, researchers have assumed that graduate students enterdoctoral programs with a ready-made professional identity as engineers. However, training indoctoral engineering programs requires

This manifestsitself in disappointing retention numbers, with roughly half of the students leaving the majorafter the first year. This project aimed to not only provide an opportunity for experientiallearning on an actual boat, but also provided faculty mentoring on the profession, career paths,etc., with the goal of increasing retention within the major.Another project goal is to encourage community building within the NAME major. Engaging ina major-specific project such as this naturally encourages individual interactions. Additionally,lab instructors encourage teamwork

Joris explained, It also kind of scares me, not really scares me because I know that for the career path I want to pursue I know that I want to design in groups, so it's not going to be my own personal responsibility. I'll still share that responsibility with some people, I assume.Joris perceived that teamwork and distributed responsibility lessened the fear he felt. However,him using the language “I assume” implies that he is not entirely sure of the reality of working asan engineer.StressTwo of the participants described feeling stressed about their future responsibility as
a Distributed Implementation of the Entrepreneurial Mindset in an Experimental Projects CapstoneIntroductionCapstone course sequences are notorious for being too much work for too little reward. That isespecially true when the capstone sequence is an experimental projects capstone, requiringstudents to learn new knowledge in the discipline as well as learning about computer simulationand running experimental equipment. As an instructor, the goal is to have the students learn asmuch as possible to better prepare them for their careers as engineers. In addition to the standardknowledge and skillset that entails, another aspect that is vital to their success is their mindset.BackgroundEntrepreneurial MindsetThe Kern Entrepreneurial
motivated students to read andunderstand the ASTM standards disregarding the class size and topics.I. IntroductionUnderstanding engineering codes and standards are undoubtedly essential for success in anengineering career. Engineering curricula need adequate training to prepare students to remember,understand, and apply these professional standards. Based on the Revised Bloom's Taxonomy [1],Remembering, Understanding, and Applying are lower-order thinking skills that then help developcritical thinking skills. The laboratory course design strategy discussed in this paper is the secondquarter of a four-level senior mechanical engineering laboratory course developed to enhancestudents' higher-order thinking skills [2].Engineers are known to be hands

Equity refers to the development of policies and practices thatpromote fairness and provide equal opportunities for all individuals, regardless of theirbackground or identity. Results refer to the outcomes that are achieved as a result of these efforts,such as increased diversity in STEM fields and improved educational and career outcomes forunderrepresented groups.

project is very open-ended in nature. A key learning goal forCDC is that students develop a systematic approach to engineering design (ILO 5), a crucialcomponent of which is dealing with high levels of uncertainty. This uncertainty arises whenthere is not one clear solution to the problem at hand. Although this situation is the norm for aprofessional engineer, it is quite foreign to our students at this stage in their careers. Byencountering such an open-ended design problem, teams are forced to take a methodical reviewof possible approaches and make evaluations based on design criteria if they are to be successful.Finally, the CDC design project is a twelve-week, semester-long endeavor and thus must be ofsufficient scope to engage and challenge

relationshipsbetween time management, self-efficacy, course load, and academic performance. Students in thefully remote course reported better time management and self efficacy than students in the hybridcourse, and there were significant relationships between time management, self efficacy, andacademic performance in both course formats.IntroductionWhile online classes have been widely available for a few decades [1], the COVID-19 pandemicforced college students who had selected in-person engineering instruction into online or hybridclasses. These learning environment changes led to shifts in students’ time management behavior.Because undergraduate engineering programs are career-centric, helping future graduates developskills like time management before

Helping students effectively manage conflict and establish inclusiveteam environments are important skills that are essential for their ability to work on teams intheir future careers. However, the literature suggests that many engineering instructors havelimited training and confidence to facilitate learning experiences that help students developteamwork and conflict management skills [4], [5]. One way to help students develop and practiceconflict management skills in the classroom is through scenario-based learning. Conflictscenarios have been used in prior
exposing them at anearly stage in their career on the problem-solving skills they must develop to get their designaccepted by owners, who are measuring success partially through conformance to their self-identified budget(s). In addition, this opens an avenue for curriculums to expose students to leanconstruction methods, thereby embracing cost controls while reducing waste in construction. Ashift into these educational models can provide tools for the students to achieving value for theirclients while getting their designs built.Cost Projection Tool Development to Facilitate Cost Projection for Design Students Design students need to learn cost projection as part of the design process in order to helpthem prepare to adapt to the changing
engineering education as it supports diversity of ideas,allows students to critically evaluate their work, identify areas for improvement, and develop adeeper understanding of the concepts they are learning [1], [2]. It encourages students to takeownership of their learning. It fosters a growth-mindset, where students are proactive in seekingout opportunities for growth and development. This self-motivated approach to learning preparesstudents for lifelong learning and is essential for success in their careers as engineers. Forinstructors, reflection is equally important as it provides valuable insights into the learningprocess of students. It helps instructors to assess the effectiveness of their teaching methods,identify areas for improvement, and

Research suggests that these experiences canguide students toward further global engagement and both professional and personaldevelopment later in their careers (Vahed et al., 2020). The pandemic has led to a rise in digitallearning tools and online teaching capabilities, but it has created challenges for connectionamong peers. At its core, education is human interaction. To create an environment in whichstudents can successfully learn remotely there needs to be a method for meaningful two-wayinteraction (Remote learning during COVID-19, 2023).
