There are strong evidences form the literature that including the soft skillssuch as management, entrepreneurship and leadership can boost the retention and enrollment inengineering programs. Entrepreneurship education has been found to boost GPA and retentionrates of the engineering students, provides the students with the skills and attitudes needed toinnovatively contribute to the existing organizations and pursue their own ventures, and has thepotential to address current and anticipated workforce demands. We strongly believe that byintegrating entrepreneurship into engineering courses, specifically in the ones that are

results were summarized in [29] as follows. A majority of the respondents thought that theirpromotion was a result of their hard work alone. Half of the respondents indicated that theirprogress might have been easier if they were male, and half of them stated that children were ahindrance to progress. Female students were largely prevented from pursuing higher education until the 19thcentury. Before then, female seminaries were the primary alternative for women who wished toearn a higher degree. However, women’s rights activists fought for higher education for femalestudents, and college campuses turned out to be fertile ground for gender equality activism [30].In the early 1900’s, at the University of London, all degrees were available to

, “Students’ agency beliefs involve how students see andthink about STEM as a way to better themselves and the world along with being a critic ofthemselves and science in general [20, p. 939]. The critical thinking perspective is intimately tiedto engineering agency beliefs, where students become “evaluator[s] of STEM as well as becomecritics of themselves and the world around them through self-reflection” [39, p. 13]. In essence,agency beliefs in this framework are based on a spectrum of how students view engineering as away to change their world or the world at large.Most agentic frameworks in engineering education used qualitative research methods. However,Godwin and colleagues [40] and Verdín and Godwin [41] used quantitative measures to

Similar tothe scale developed by Perez and colleagues, Flake et al.’s scale included task effort, loss ofvalued alternatives cost, and emotional cost. Flake et al. also suggested a new dimension, thecost of outside efforts, related to other demands on an individuals’ time and energy that mayincrease the cost associated with a particular task.

design.However, some educators have described an important empathic requisite or antecedent:designers must adopt a user-centric mindset. For example, Postma et al. discussed moving designstudents from an “expert” mindset, where the designer thinks they know best, to a “participatory”mindset, where the designer perceives their self and user(s) both as experts.48 Forming thismindset is important, as student designers who hold an expert mindset tend to exclude theirproject partner throughout a design process.49 Hence, educators ought to prompt students to thinkabout engineering with a user as opposed to for a user12,50 as this may catalyze the utilization ofempathy while simultaneously alleviating absolutist/positivistic biases.414.2 Service

Importantly,they reflect Keynes (1936) argument that socioeconomics are group mentalities that organizepeople’s positions amongst society. Keynes (1936) illustrated that individuals with similar incomeslive together (household) or near one another (neighborhood/school) and likely have a similaroccupation. Given these features, we consider the following relational socioeconomic factors:1. Family/household income, occupation, and education are representations of the total, combinatory income(s), prestige, or educational status of the household.

We run a mobile deep learning model, SSD-MobileNet, on Raspberry Pi todetect various objects. Preliminary valudation results demonstrate the effectiveness of thisimplementation. Moreover, the on-going work is to improve weapon detection. Future work will focuson completing comprehensive and systematical validation on weapon detection in different testingscenarios.

In somecases, steps three and four are skipped, and only one round of interviews is completed. The faculty hiring process is fraught with bias, including racial bias [1], gender bias inletters of recommendation [2], and search committee members seeking to hire people whoseresearch areas are most similar to their own [3]. Hiring people similar to oneself extends beyondresearch areas. Many search committees look for candidates who would be a good “fit”(generally, scientifically, programmatically) [4, 5].

]. Founded in 2013, the focus of this capstoneprogram is to develop innovative technical solutions to pressing clinical and translational healthchallenges. Undergraduate and graduate students across engineering disciplines (e.g.,mechanical, electrical, biomedical, chemical, and materials science) are partnered with healthprofessionals (e.g., physicians, nurses, dentists, therapists, pharmacists) to solve unmet healthchallenges. In the first quarter, teams of 3–5 students work closely with the health professional(s)who originally proposed the unmet health challenge to develop a deep understanding of theunmet health need, including potential markets, stakeholder psychologies, prior solutions,intellectual property considerations, regulatory
