Focus group data were analyzed usingopen coding and constant comparison methods. Themes emerged from each of the main questioncategories, giving insight into students’ experiences in the e4usa course. Understanding studentexperiences in the e4usa course has the potential to impact the future design of pre-collegeengineering experiences that can lead to a more diverse engineering workforce.Introduction Pre-college engineering education as a subject is relatively new to the United States’(US) education system [1].

on structured lecture and laboratory activities. The resultssuggest that student perceptions of the polytechnic nature of a class did not significantly differbetween the two pedagogical approaches. Students found each class to be representative of apolytechnic nature because hands-on, physical labs were utilized. It did not matter if the labactivities were open-ended or structured. This aligned with the students’ definition of whatpolytechnic education means: “hands-on”.IntroductionClassroom delivery modality has received much attention in recent years as institutions navigatechanges in higher education funding and student preparation for learning [1].

presented.BackgroundThe role of two-year colleges in the United States has grown in the last 30 years. Enrollment hasgrown 53% from 5.3 million in 1990 [1] to 8.1 million in 2020 [2]. This can partially beattributed to the growing and constantly changing workforce needs in our technology-drivensociety. The World Economic Forum’s 2020 Future of Jobs Report predicts that “[i]n addition tothe current disruption from the pandemic-induced lockdowns and economic contraction,technological adoption by companies will transform tasks, jobs and skills by 2025” [3]. Inaddition, two-year schools have helped to make access to higher education more equitable.About 67% of public two-year college students have family incomes under $50,000; and 45% ofstudents enrolled in

IntroductionThe COVID-19 pandemic has greatly impacted higher education, with students and teachersbeing forced to adapt to emergency remote learning (ERL, or “online learning” for convenience)for over a year. As shown in Figure 1, the Fall 2020 (Sept. – Dec. 2020) and Winter 2021 (Jan. –Apr. 2021) semesters were entirely online at our university. During this time, teaching modalitiesvaried across faculties and instructors, and generally fell into one of three categories: (1)synchronous

In this paper, we unpack the case study and its holistic design foundations.We also posit a theory to account for its outcomes that can guide others who would like to testthese ideas in other settings.IntroductionThe National Academies of Engineering (U.S.) has advocated transdisciplinary design for itspotential to address dynamically complex societal needs [1]. Sustainability is certainly one suchneed. One of the dilemmas about educating people to work in transdisciplinary design settings isthat such settings are largely unpracticed in engineering college settings. For example, Lang etal.

Specifically, engineering students areexpected to build relevant skills through experiential learning opportunities [1]. However, formost high school students considering engineering in college, their preparation is typicallyadvanced placement courses in science and mathematics. Courses alone don’t meet theincreasing national demand to better prepare high school students for careers in technology andmanufacturing [2].
