ofinterdisciplinary courses in engineering education and the co-delivery of curriculum byprofessors from different fields using dialogical pedagogy for effective student learningexperiences. The findings attest that there is significant value in this approach. Therefore,future research on such pedagogies should be conducted to ascertain the efficacy of thesepedagogies on student learning outcomes, career choices, and their ability to bridgedisciplinary divides in their professional practice. We also can use different measurementtools and methodologies to capture student engagement more effectively in future studies.References[1] M.

how many students know about CSopportunities in the community and their schools.Experience, the final component of CAPE, relates to students’ outcomes from CS courses andactivities. Examples of these outcomes include cognitive gains, interest, and awareness ofcomputing careers. Equitable Experience means that these outcomes are equitable across studentsubgroups [8]. Prior research in Experience investigated student content in an introductory CScourses [26–28], interest in computing [29], attitudes [24], and relevance of computing in thelives of underrepresented students [30]. Although this is the most studied component of CAPE,there are also gaps in areas that have been shown to impact academic achievement [31].3 Research MethodsTo answer our

in 36 children are diagnosedwith autism in the United States, with 12% of students ages 3–21 being served in schools under theIndividuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in the 2021–22 school year6-7. As a spectrum disorder,no one autistic person is alike. This heterogeneous population varies in severity with social skills, verbaland nonverbal communication, and restrictive and repetitive behavior, and sensitivity to environmentalstimuli8-9. Approximately 80% of autistic individuals are unemployed, which impacts financial outcomes andquality of life10-11. In addition to employment and stability that could be provided through a career inengineering, engaging in engineering education ensures that this population develops
System.[4] This system groups majors into three tiers. Tier 1 includes engineering courses that directly relate to military operations (Systems Engineering and Civil Engineering were the only engineering disciplines excluded). Tier 2 includes all sciences and engineering majors not listed in Tier 1. Tier 3 is all the humanities, and most importantly for ERAU specifically, Homeland Security. ERAU ROTC has a large number of Cadets enrolled in the Homeland Security program and many of those Cadets are high performers focused on a long career in the military. Using a different sorting method that put Homeland Security in a separate bin may produce different results for the ERAU program. Army ROTC does not have a tiered system

Educators should strive to develop curricula that reflect diverse perspectives and actively recruit a varied student body to enrich the educational experience.Looking ahead, there is a clear avenue for future research to explore the longitudinal influence offailure journaling on students’ career development and industry readiness. Such studies couldfurther validate the role of a fail-forward mindset in preparing engineering graduates to navigatethe complexities and uncertainties of the professional world.In conclusion, the "Innovation

Inthis paper, we discuss an approach to CAD instruction where students work and develop theirskills in the context of a digital enterprise environment. Our goal is to expose engineeringstudents to the concepts, capabilities, and processes involved in the digital enterprise so they canbecome familiar with the tools and methods they will encounter in their future careers.

As a recommendation toother instructors, the authors could see the differences between universities since the class setupand students are different in context. However, considering the outcomes of the target course,and approach to include theory, simulation, measurement would be critical for students’ in-classlearning and future careers reflecting industry’s demand. Each instructor may generate their ownmodularized course design charts and consider visualization tools to combine those.AcknowledgementThis research and collaboration is supported by U.S. Air Force Research Lab Summer FacultyFellowship Program named as USAFA: Pedagogy Research for Education in Electrical andComputer

These issues includemakerspaces becoming associated primarily with white male students, gendered connotations ofmachines and materials, and women’s perceived lack of self-efficacy in using makerspace tools.As a result, women may view makerspaces as unwelcoming, and societal stereotypes can affecttheir engagement in these spaces. Efforts to create more inclusive makerspaces are essential tofully realize the potential of makerspaces, encourage and boost confidence in marginalizedgroups to pursue careers in

generallytwo standard deviations (in total) higher than those from the civil engineering population group,and it tends to favor the area of significance related to high average word densities. A potentialexplanation is that the civil engineering students have higher familiarity with the teachingpedagogy and approach to evaluation and assessment from the instructors. This familiarityresults from the civil engineer population typically taking the course later in their careers afterexposure to many other courses from the department. This exposure is something that, by thenature of their programs of study, the populations from other STEM and humanities departmentsdo not have. Of note, the grades on this event did not account for overall academic
inconsistencies in outcome variables.They also highlight important future directions for study. Study 3 is an interview-driveninvestigation. We are currently conducting focus groups and interviews of engineering studentswho have ADHD, after which we will transcribe the data and begin analysis.
