The Engineering and Design Department (ENGD) at WWU hasfour undergraduate-only programs: Electrical & Computer Engineering (EECE), IndustrialDesign (ID), Manufacturing Engineering (MFGE), and Polymer Materials Engineering (PME).Students interested in majoring in engineering at WWU must formally apply to a program aftercompleting a series of prerequisite

course.In partnership with the ASP program, we developed a new lab section reserved for ASP studentswhich focused on creating a supportive learning community. Our pilot started with two sectionsenrolling 20 students each. A first emphasis was building community between students. To fostercommunity, instructors provided students with multiple, structured opportunities to engage withone another during lab, including working together in lab teams and reflecting on and sharingtheir values and interests. We also built connections between students and instructors by creatingdedicated office hours that were staffed by the ASP lab instructors (non-ASP students use asystem where the instructor assisting may not be known by the student), requiring office

Surprises along the Path toward Equity in Engineering and Computer Science EducationAbstractThe Partnership for Equity: STEM (P4E) is a collaborative project funded by the NSF IUSEprogram. Four partner institutions have been working together for the past five years to develop,implement, and assess curriculum activities to enlighten students attending requiredundergraduate engineering and computer science courses about the relevance and importance ofdiversity, equity, and inclusion to the fields of engineering and computer science. As the P4Eproject nears completion, we use this poster session and accompanying paper to reflect on whatwe have learned during the past five years. We focus on the surprises we encountered during

, students completed a photovoice reflection for one of the assignments(manufacturing lesson on corrosion and erosion) to reflect on the manufacturing survey. In thispaper, we present the survey assignment and photovoice reflection on corrosion and erosion,specifically, as it is traditionally considered a negative surface phenomenon. Thematic analysisof the photovoice reflections show that students are motivated to explore mechanisms forincreasing system value and identifying opportunities. Ultimately, findings suggest that the useof hands-on surveying assignments to compliment the traditional teaching methods used inmanufacturing classrooms can promote an entrepreneurial mindset when studying manufacturingcontent.1.

feedback can be more constructive for students in adesign curriculum [36]. As such, verbal feedback plays a significant role in success and teamperformance for students in engineering design curriculums [37]. Prior research shows evidencethat elementary students have navigated the demands of giving engineering design peer feedback[38]. Even more, student discourse helps students to understand how their drawn designs (e.g.conceptual models) can be used during an engineering design challenge in an elementary scienceclassroom [39].Peer comparison can also facilitate student reflection. Through reflection, students can evaluatethe pros and cons of student models, intentionally select solutions, and purposefully chooseimprovements. Prior studies

The goal of theWestern Michigan University (WMU) student team was to design and construct an apparatus tobe used in a K-12 classroom that properly displays the properties of light as they occur in nature.The reflection, refraction, transmittance and absorption properties of light are recurrently shownin textbooks as if they occur individually, while in reality they occur simultaneously. Based onthe expressed need of a local middle school teacher for such a device, the team drafted designs asan assignment in an entry-level freshman engineering course. After one design was decidedupon, the device itself was produced, and given to the teacher

The instructional approach that has guided the evolution of the course has beenbased on the following principles: • Business Environment. Assignments and assessments should be grounded in and resemble business practice. • Assignment Timing. Assessments and student reflection exercises should be coordinated with the completion of a major challenge. • Cycle Iteration. Multiple cycles of both the business model and technical solution generation are necessary. • External Reviews. External input and review of the projects is sought at every stage of the process.Each of these principles is discussed in paragraphs that

This approach also improves theirunderstanding of concepts, the principles that link concepts, and the linking of concepts andprinciples to conditions and procedures for application [13]. It is critical to allow students torelate concepts to their application by providing realistic scenarios for students to solve usingtheir knowledge of STEM. Integrated STEM activities can foster self-regulated/self-directedlearning in several ways. One is by prompting students for explanations via guiding questions,which help students reflect upon and integrate the knowledge they require to solve the problem[14]. For the
