Program Launch and EvolutionIn the summer of 2020, UMD’s Women in Engineering (WIE) program and the Department ofMechanical Engineering initiated the GOAL program in response to the sudden shift in the K-12educational environment created by the COVID-19 pandemic. The cancellation of outreachprograms, summer camps, and the complete pivot to online/remote instructions greatly reducedaccess to hands-on STEM curriculum and closed outreach avenues for the university. In particular,faculty and staff were concerned with the impacts of school closures on STEM opportunities fortraditionally under-represented groups. This shift had the potential to greatly disrupt the pathwayfor these groups to be exposed to and engage with STEM education and career

Throughout the semester any small comment from you helped me feel more confident about my studies and pursuing a career in engineering. Specifically, when I was working on strength-based projects”.It was the instructor’s impression that projects submitted in fall 2021 had better quality comparedto fall 2020 as students were required to submit drafts of their project and receive feedback frominstructor.Majority of students preferred completing the project individually but there were a few projectscompleted by team of two students with topics of comedy or music

To ensure that students were not merely bystanders in their educational experience,thought-provoking, entertaining lab exercises needed to remain a part of the freshman courseexperience. Additionally, each department had department specific content that was necessaryfor their students to be successful in their academic careers. This content varied from departmentto department.

AI/ML can analyze large amounts of data sets in ashort time; it will support a lot of fields to solve problems in a highly efficient way. It isincreasingly important to introduce basic AI/ML concepts to students to build familiarity withthe technologies they will interact with and make decisions about. Ideally, all students graduatingfrom high school should have some understanding of AI, the ethical issues associated with AI,and the potential strengths and weaknesses of a society built on top of computer intelligence [3].Although AI is increasingly used to power instructional tools for K-12 education, AI conceptsare not

oral communication skills tothe humanities courses or faculty is not beneficial for a future career in engineering (Newell etal., 1997; Kmiec, 2004). It may be for this reason that Vanderbilt’s Chemical EngineeringDepartment dedicated a technical communication co-instructor to their junior and senior level labcourses (Sharp, 2003). The technical communication element of Vanderbilt’s chemicalengineering senior course was presented by Sharp (2003). She counts alumni guest lectures as avaluable addition to this lab course. The alumni talked about the communication needs of theirjobs during the dedicated technical communication lectures. The other positive experience thatshe cites is the peer feedback on student teams’ presentations. After each

This practice allows students to explore careers in companies of manydifferent industries and sizes. It allows engineering and computer science students to gain realworld practical experiences in their field of interest while gaining skills and practices that are notable to be learned in the classroom. That said, the developmental and educational outcomes canbe affected by the nature of the co-op.

Dibbs’ manuscript was interesting; she studied 8students who were required to repeat calculus at the beginning of their STEM careers, and whoexperienced formative feedback the second time. Through interviews, Dibbs found that participantsidentified three primary reasons for their success the second time around: (1) processing their initialfailure, (2) having a better instructor, and (3) participating in formative assessments. In her analysis, shefound that formative assessment is what caused the cognitive and behavioral engagement benefits. Thesestudents later succeeded in STEM, with 6 eventually receiving a math major or minor.In summary, effective use of formative assessment has the potential to high-information feedback thathelps

These topics are oftenmore reserved for graduate-level students as they require a strong mathematical background andcan be perceived as abstract without proper simulations and animations. To mitigate this problema popular Robotics Toolbox was created [1] that contains a collection of MATLAB functions thatperform many mathematical operations required in robotics.

Namely, Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) and Research Experiencesfor Teachers (RET).
