work for writing assignment 4DiscussionOverall, the technical communication block was successful based on increases in KS scores inmost areas (Figure 2) and improved writing assignments. As results convey, students increasedtheir ability to tailor their writing to produce a technical document, including considering theaudience and their needs, integrating visuals, writing descriptions that accurately interpret thevisuals, and formatting appropriately. The stylistic choices and genre awareness require skillsand knowledge in a range of writing components [5].Our findings reinforce previous research indicating teaching technical writing enhances studentlearning outcomes [24] and better prepares them for successful careers [3]. An additional
greater independent problem-solvingskills [4]. For those in STEM fields, these findings may not be surprising. Interviews conductedwith people working in the STEM fields reflect the importance of K-12 experiences and howfamilial and educational aspects influenced their career path [5-7].In addition to early childhood programming, high school math achievement appears to be acritical factor in intent for a student to major in a STEM discipline. For example, exposure todifferent math and science courses prior to enrolling into a post-secondary institution isdemonstrated as important for a students’ math self-efficacy [8]. Unfortunately, there is leakagein this mathematics pipeline, and the number of students interested in STEM topics is

Similarly, integration of CT can add to children’s intellectual ability in reading, writing, andarithmetic [9], in addition to science [10].Moreover, research corroborates the importance of computation in the formation of engineers[11-14] since these skills are necessary for solving complex technological problems for allengineering professionals. In fact, these skills support the various student outcomes described byABET and are fundamental for developing a competitive engineering workforce. Furthermore,the relationship between

A consistentemphasis on human values aims to create engineers who are more aware of other perspectives,conscious of potential impacts, and habitually work to create value. While each course mayimplement the pedagogies to different degrees, the underlying design of a vertically-integrated setof courses reinforces threads that are critical to becoming a holistic engineer. Reflection is onesuch thread. In each course there is an emphasis on students reflecting on their experiences,whether that be from their past, in teams, or while learning a new subject. Reflection is a valuableelement in story-driven learning. It internalizes experiences and makes the students evaluate howa situation made them

Studentcomments expressed how inquiry-based activities promoting curiosity are valued by students.IntroductionLifelong learning is a critical component of any technical career, and its importance is evident bythe ABET requirement that accreditation requires engineering programs to teach lifelonglearning skills [Naimpally, 2011]. In addition, engineers must not only learn how to use newtechnologies but also comprehend the underlying principles and physics that govern them. Thisknowledge helps them make informed design decisions and evaluate the pros and cons ofdifferent technologies better. Moreover, by grasping the fundamentals of a component'soperation

To date, much of this research has focused on and/or included participantswho are Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) and service academy cadets or military-affiliated students, such as military spouses and dependents [1]–[3]. While research conductedwith these populations is undoubtedly important, cadets and military-affiliated students havedifferent educational experiences than those who have served or are serving. Generally, existingresearch in engineering education has focused on questions of why military students choose themilitary and engineering as careers [4]–[7], how military student identities are negotiated duringthe transition between the military to school [4], [5], and the factors that

Manufacturing Education for Engineers Manufacturing education is a type of education that focuses on teaching individuals the skillsand knowledge they need to work in the manufacturing industry. This may include technicalskills such as operating machinery, as well as a broader understanding of the manufacturingprocess and how different parts of a manufacturing facility work together [17]. Manufacturingeducation can be obtained through a variety of programs, including vocational schools,community colleges, and four-year universities. The goal of manufacturing education is toprepare individuals for careers in this important industry, which plays a vital role in theeconomy. Manufacturing coursework is
