Making these opportunities in a single locationwidely accessible to an academically diverse campus is crucial to the development of engineers.Thus, the arrival of academic makerspaces on college campuses indicates an importantadvancement in the field of engineering design education [2].

Development: A Case Study of Ego-Centric Network Analysis of RelationshipsIntroduction Unfortunately, it is not unexpected that young individuals who belong tounderrepresented and marginalized communities have limited access to a diverse network ofresources that support Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) education,especially in areas like coding, innovative engineering, and project-based activities that areemerging. Studies on informal education outside of schools [1]–[3] have acknowledged thatthese learning environments can foster involvement in STEM, and their continuous programsacross various settings, such as home, libraries, youth clubs, and museums, can be essential ininitiating and

The pre and post testing results for each test were analyzed using a pairwise, two-tailed t-test for statistical significance. More pronounced differences were observed in the N2-scores and with the EERI for the engineering-specific course. Comparison between the twoinstruments indicated a positive, and hence somewhat transferable, relationship between thegeneric and specific instruments. The utility of both instruments for short-term interventional andlongitudinal programmatic assessment is discussed.1.0 INTRODUCTION1.1 Significance of Engineering EthicsThe technological decisions made by engineers in their work can have

However, we have yet to find anexample of an introductory level course that discusses these topics geared toward theprofessional development of graduate engineering students within a broad range of career andresearch interests. Thus, we sought to develop a course that would help graduate studentresearchers understand the terminology around inequities and justice; interrogate well-knowncases of engineering research across a range of applications, technology, and higher educationbias and discrimination; reflect and discuss how their own research areas impact society; andform a plan for how they may address or actively prevent potential injustices.

A meta-analysis by Freeman et al. of225 studies compares student learning outcomes in lectures versus active learning inundergraduate STEM courses [3]. The researchers found that when instructors used activelearning strategies, student exam scores increased significantly and student failure ratesdecreased significantly when compared to students whose instructors used lecture methods alone.Such instruction is useful in engineering specifically.
