the DIB and meetings with content-area experts led to the discoveryof five technical areas and nine non-technical professional skills that are highly desired in entry-level microelectronics engineers. The five technical areas include Radiation Hardening, System-On-Chip, Heterogeneous Integration and Advanced Packaging, Supply Chain, and Trusted AI.These technical areas represent high-need pathways and gaps in the existing microelectronicsworkforce. Additionally, nine professional skills were documented, including communication;diversity, equity, and inclusion; engineering habits of mind; leadership; lifelong learning; multi-disciplinary problem solving; professional and ethical responsibility; teamwork; andunderstanding solutions, impacts

In addition to cohorting studentsin STEM courses, the GELC program requires students to co-enroll in a learning strategiescourse. The course is designed to develop self-regulatory, academic, and social-psychologicalcompetence for students through its three primary units: Habits of Professionals, Habits ofLearning, and Habits of Mind. An overarching goal of the course is to support students inbecoming successful STEM students and future engineering professionals. While the course is inits fourth iteration, the Fall 2020 semester marks the first use of the LASSI within the learningstrategies course. Our approach went beyond using the LASSI as a measure of
document all my work in this way was different than any other class I had been in before so it was a hard adjustment.EPICS teaches a user-centered design approach that is consistent with the goals of EWB-USA.The course structure allowed students to learn a framework and reflect on how that approachapplied to their project work. Several students identified the user-centered approach in theirreflections on their learning. This semester was an extremely useful experience in the social aspect of my understanding of engineering. Working with our project partners in Uganda and developing a solution with cultural aspects in mind has helped me to develop a much more broad scope of mu cultural understanding. Working with

However, the impact of direct mentorship-mentee setup is limited by the number ofexpert users, in this case, the three faculty members (a mechanical engineer, and electrical engineer, andan artist), and their available time to mentor other faculty. Our study was born out of a desire to quicklyincrease the number of faculty members who would be not only familiar with makerspace andcomfortable working with the array of available equipment, but who could also fully integrate the use ofthe space into their courses.Entrepreneurially Minded Learning & makerspacesEntrepreneurially Minded Learning (EML) is about equipping engineering students to think likeentrepreneurs, not necessarily to become entrepreneurs. The goal of EML is to help

Examining InterventionsImplicit Bias In recent years, implicit bias has garnered more attention as a bias that negatively affectshiring processes and workplace climate. Characteristics of implicit bias include: one is unawareof bias, it is difficult to control, it is unintentional, there is no introspection, it is not endorsed andit is a habit of the mind. We all have implicit biases that are learned from culture andstereotypes. Implicit biases often conflict with our consciously endorsed beliefs. We

Furthermore, as a response to detected high stress, there are several practices suitable for engineering students tobring stress under control as shown in table II. Techniques like Mindfulness Meditation, which focuses awareness onthe present moment, and Progressive Muscle Relaxation, involving the progressive tensing and releasing of musclegroups, have been shown to effectively reduce stress [21]. Diaphragmatic Breathing, characterized by deep, slowbreaths from the diaphragm, activates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation [22]. CognitiveBehavioral

The video was created by two students whohad taken the course in the previous year. It presented background information, mindful teachingabout inclusion, some discussion of the students’ personal experiences in the course, and anintroduction to the activities. The three activities that were developed were (1) a communicationgame, which allowed students to practice clear and respectful communication, (2) a teamworkand collaboration game, which aimed to show that each member of a team had somethingvaluable to contribute, and (3) a reflection and

average rate of learning retention from a lecture is relativelylow compared with the learning retention associated with other learning activities such asdiscussion or “practice by doing” [2]. In a recent study, inspired by signals and systems theory, the engineering student learningwas linked to the assessment process that he/she undertakes during his/her studies. Modeled by aso-called “ideal sampler”, the assessment process is perceived as a system that takes a “snapshotof the student’s mind” on a regular basis, reconstructs the (continuous) “knowledge signal”acquired by the student and compares it to a “desired knowledge signal”. The resultingknowledge signal “error” is then used to simultaneously improve learning retention andevaluation

Our Co-op course was developed specifically with the international students from thesemulti-discipline masters programs in mind. To be clear, international students represented 96%of the students in our course in 2014-2015 (Table 1). These professional graduate programsrequire completion of about 32-credit hours of coursework during the course of approximately24-30 months. Based on interviews with students, most students chose to
