As data and evidence “hold a primary position in deciding any issue” [28, p. 27] inscience as well as in mathematics, the practices of CT are at the heart of how scientists andmathematicians deal with and use data.Weintrop et al.’s [29] model for CT in mathematics and science includes four sets of practices:Data practices, modeling and simulation practices, computational problem-solving practices, andsystems thinking practices. Table 1summarizes tasks in each area. We find CT in mathematicalvariables, compositional reasoning, pattern matching, and procedural thinking [6]. Data-informed models, conclusions, and predictions are foundational for science. Bridging throughCT, mathematics, and science

A geophysicist by academic training, he began to design multimedia applications for teaching and learning in the late 1990’s, developing his first online course in 1996. Since then, he has helped a few hundred faculty from varied disciplines develop hybrid and online courses. He has also taught traditional, hybrid and online courses ranging in size from 28 to 250. He is also co-developer of a Digital Academy which was a finalist for the Innovation Award by the Professional and Organizational Development Network and an Innovation Award winner.

continuous learning platforms in place.Even though our industry advisors gave us mixed feedback on the proposal, we still felt stronglyabout the potential of offering digital badges to our students on topics outside the normalcurriculum. An additional motivating factor was the depth of our connections with true thoughtleaders with relevant expertise. We were confident that we would be able to attract very strongand engaging presenters. Luckily this turned out to be the case.We recognized that our badge topics must address 21st century skills such as those identified bythe ASME 2030 vision including the need to “[s]trengthen teamwork, communication, problemsolving, interpersonal, and leadership skills” [10].

design approachsection.5. Design Approach Design 1: Keeping the worker in mind, students designed the top part of the machine guard to be closer to the grinding wheel on both sides. Therefore, the worker(s) could still use the wheel in the same manner, achieve the same quality of finish, and still polish wrenches in the same amount of time. Another feature they added to their design was a bottom plate so that the bottom of the grinding belt could not be accessed during operation. The plate includes a series of square holes and a piece of wire mesh so the dust could still settle at the bottom of the grinder and no objects could enter (figure 2a). The shaft and the nut that is on the side of the grinding wheel are both now guarded

For the initial cohort, the programdevelopers expected that the process would be primarily related to the number of applications.After our research results showed Cohort 1’s success was more dependent on personalconnections with a company, networking with companies was given a strong focus throughout2020. Networking was a stronger focus in the training for Cohort 2 students and they had greateropportunities to connect with companies through Bell Program sponsored career fairs.

After the students were with their second mentor, we broadcasted the next conversationprompt. We did a total of five rounds, so that by the end of the session, each student had spokento five mentors. We used the following conversation prompts for each round: 1) Which would you choose? And, why? ● Option A: one year with Oprah ● Option B: one year with Bill Gates ● Option C: $1,000,000 2) Exchange your career hopes. 3) Share about an academic or professional experience you are proud of. 4) In what positive way(s) have you grown and changed during the shelter-at-home experience?
