The SIG is made up of membersworking in non-traditional engineering education spaces, including projects and initiativesfocusing on sociotechnical knowledge and humanistic engineering, arts and humanitiesintegration within core engineering curricula, communication and teamwork instruction,transdisciplinary integration of leadership, and decolonizing engineering education. Itsmembership includes engineers who have developed transdisciplinary research and

Introduction This complete research paper presents a systematic literature review that synthesizes theuse of Laanan’s theory of transfer student capital in postsecondary vertical college transfers,specifically focusing on use in engineering and Science, Technology, Engineering, andMathematics (STEM) education [1]. The motivation for this research stems from a need to betterunderstand the theory of transfer student capital, which
projects can foster the inclusion of students with learning disabilities (Daniela and Lytras, 2019; Nanou and Karampatzakis, 2022). In the case of tertiary education, industrial-scale robots are used to prepare students for careers in industry by emphasizing aspects such as hardware, software, and human-machine interfaces (Nagai, 2001; Brell-Çokcan and Braumann, 2013). However, industrial-scale robots are expensive to purchase. In addition, there is usually some oversight over their usage due to time-sharing and to prevent damage, which prevents "free-play" by students. Some solutions to this include the use of miniature robots and the use of online labs (Mallik and Kapila, 2020; Stein and Lédeczi, 2021). Though these reduce the cost of the setups

Visual prostheses, or smart bionic eyes, are a subject of recent discussion [7]. Clearly, modern technology has the potential to be used in cheating, academically oriented or otherwise. Thispotential will likely only increase as microelectronics become more available to the public.

The associates were responsible for providing engineering expertise torural communities to assist in developing local small agricultural and food manufacturingbusinesses and start-ups. Students were informed and familiarized with the course design,their roles, and activities in the early weeks of the semester. In class, limited time was allottedfor lectures on technical content and more on engaging students in workplace-like activitiessuch as discussions, training problems, and projects. Students were expected to completetraditional course lecture material outside of class so that class time could be efficientlyutilized to answer

Studyparticipants reported forming peer study groups to be crucial to their academic learning andformation of social connections. Daniel was proactive in starting and joining study groups: Because most of them were engineers, we just started studying together. So, I just met people in my dorm that were like exceptionally good in certain subjects. One guy literally sat down for two hours to teach me a concept that like I was really struggling with. So having a friend group to fall back on if I don’t understand something has been big for me.When study participants entered “in their major,” they reported

Inaddition, no data had been collected about faculty perspectives on mentoring their graduatestudents. As a result, the fellows identified three projects to tackle during the 2022 calendar year:creating an engineering-specific individual development plan, surveying faculty members aboutmentorship, and educating students about healthy and toxic mentorship.Literature ReviewThe most influential factor on a graduate student’s doctoral experience is their primary researchadvisor [1] – [4], yet most institutions lack formal guidelines for the structure of this relationship.Identifying a mentor should be a major priority for graduate students early in

The perspectives of all three groups help to describe essential components of aresearch internship that can be employed in the development of high school STEM programs andways in which these programs can support URM students.Background and SignificanceCurrently, there are over one million STEM job openings without qualified applicants in theUnited States, and the field of Biomedical Engineering (BME) is projected to grow 10% from2021 to 2031 [7]. To meet growing BME workforce needs, it is essential to support initialstudent interests in STEM to aid students’ decision making. One strategy that has seensignificant success in encouraging students to pursue STEM and engineering fields has been
outcomes of the instructional design phase are clear learning objectives, clear ways toassess students' learning, and possible pedagogical approaches. Regarding the latter, we mustemphasize that virtual labs can be adopted with any pedagogical approach, includingdemonstrations, simulations, project- and problem-based learning, and inquiry-based learning.When you know in advance which approach you will use, a more tailored virtual lab can bedeveloped.2.2 Virtual Lab Design DocumentLike a game design document [31], a virtual lab design document is a comprehensive plan fordeveloping a virtual lab. It outlines the virtual lab's objectives, goals, and learning outcomes,as well as the instructional strategies and pedagogical approaches to be used. The
foundational assumption within the use of contentanalysis is that by establishing a set of common codes, organized into themes, large amounts ofqualitative textual data can be considered within fewer content categories [12] as a route to identifythemes or patterns in the text driven. Content analysis has variations based on research traditionwith some common steps: defining the categories, coding process and the coder training,implementation of coding, and analyzing the coded material [13]. Within coding, inductive anddeductive analyses may be useful depending on the existing prior knowledge on the research topic[14].Strengths & Weaknesses: Content analysis provides systematic analysis of text data whileallowing for an organic project-specific

To this end, future efforts of this ongoingresearch project include collection of in-depth qualitative data from a subset of participantsthrough observation and/or interviews that will seek to gain descriptive, experiential insight intoindividual and interpersonal processes toward implementing EBIPs into engineering courses.Additionally, the project will generate longitudinal data through working with facultyparticipants over the course of a class term in order to gain understanding of fluctuating demandsand needs that may

Merely manipulating or altering others’ images through digital or other processes does not in itself constitute legitimate appropriation, and may qualify as copyright violation. 4. Attribution of uses of others’ creative work is essential, and can be handled in a number of ways: – In presentations summarizing research or precedent analysis, any representation of source projects should be accompanied by identifying information (building, location, designers, date). Students should also be aware that rights to photographic imagery are also often held by photographers independently of the source project’s designers. – In cases in which
