Professor in the Department of Engineering Education at the University at Buffalo, SUNY. His lab focuses on engineering design, advancing research methods, and technology innovations to support learning in complex domains. Major research strands include: (1) analyzing how expertise develops in engineering design across the continuum from novice pre-college students to prac- ticing engineers, (2) advancing engineering design research by integrating new theoretical or analytical frameworks (e.g., from data science or complexity science) and (3) conducting design-based research to develop scaffolding tools for supporting the learning of complex skills like design. He is the Division Chair Elect for the Design in Engineering

The release of the Standards for Technological and Engineering Literacy: The Roleof Technology and Engineering in STEM Education (STEL) [1] in 2020 provided a clearrationale for the importance of high-quality technology and engineering (T&E) learningopportunities for all P-12 students

the Transfer Student Pathway: Findings from an S-STEM-Enabled PartnershipBuilding partnerships between community colleges and four-year institutions has been identifiedas a cost-effective strategy for academically talented low-income students to earn a bachelor’sdegree [1]. What often happens, however, is that the onus is placed on the community college tosupport students through the transfer pathway with much less engagement by the four-yearinstitution during this process [2]. Funded through the National Science Foundation’s (NSF)Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Program (S-STEM)program, the Virginia Tech Network for Engineering Transfer Students (VT-NETS) project hasfocused on improving

To gain systematic insight into these obstacles, the KCUREprogram’s external evaluator interviewed MCC and UMKC project stakeholders. The purpose ofthis poster paper is to identify the obstacles that have shaped, at times tacitly, our MCC-UMKCengineering transfer partnership. In doing so, we hope to encourage other two- and four-yearengineering education transfer partners to pause, name, and creatively seeks ways to addressobstacles to their engineering transfer pathways.Contextual BackgroundInitiated in 2020, our S-STEM program links two Midwestern area higher education institutions:MCC and UMKC.

Smaller sectors include operations to mine Titanium, Copper,Chrome and other lesser minerals according to the Minerals Council of South Africa (MCSA)[1] . The industry was reported to have employed 458,954 people in 2021 with a contributionof approximately R480.9 Billion South African Rands (~US$26.8 Bn) to the country’s GDPin that same year [2].

This culture of stressis detrimental to mental health and wellness and is thus a critical space for change efforts. Toaddress this challenge, this project seeks to answer the following question: How can wedismantle a culture of high stress in engineering and instead foster a culture that promoteswellness?To answer this question, the presented project uses a mixed-methods approach to examine thetime-evolution of engineering stress culture, educators' perceptions of the
