STEM topics, Very few are more familiar with LEGOs and robotics and so it was very new to them… you know low socioeconomic[s]... It's not surprising because they do not have that type of exposure and so it's really important and I think was fascinating for them to have that exposure to see what STEM is all about and they seem to really enjoy it.It appears taken for granted that Jill’s and Bob’s students are familiar with LEGOs, and someeven Mindstorms. In contrast, Deborah’s consideration of the social and economic inequities thather students face does not allow her to make such assumptions.Teachers found the STEM connections educationally important in and of themselves, but alsoarticulated hopes that they inspire

Students in the program work with researchers from San Francisco State University,UC Merced, and NASA Ames Research Center.Implementation of the Summer Group and Individual Research Internship Programs showssuccess in helping students in solidify their choice of major, improving preparation for transfer,enhancing student self-efficacy in pursuing careers in engineering, and acquiring knowledge andskills needed to succeed in a four-year engineering program. As a result of their researchexperience, the participants have also expressed that they are now more likely to apply for otherinternships and consider pursuing advanced degrees in engineering [27].F.

The rise in student outreach clubs, study abroad, service learning andcommunity based learning all demonstrate that students are more attune to social justiceissues. In fact, biomedical engineering programs have been early adopters of includingvalue thinking, most especially through Devices for the Disabled (Enderle, 1999),Engineering World Health (www.ewh.org), e-NABLE (enablingthefuture.org), and theproliferation of programs that specifically consider design for the developing world.Strategic Thinking and Design ChallengesStrategic Thinking was born out of the business literature.

This assumption appears in theuse of ‘mother’ and ‘father’ as identifiers throughout questions about parents and guardians.Problems with typical approachThe shift of traditional family structures has been well documented31, as has the changing shapeof the modern family30. However, documentation of the shift in familial demographics has notalways been adapted to quantitative instruments seeking to understand more about collegestudents’ parents/guardians. Items seeking information about parent(s)/guardian(s) are used tounderstand students’ family life, to understand their access to education in the form of socialcapital32, and as a proxy for SES. Such items often assume a traditional familial structure: Onefather or male

Junior level students inVehicle Design I used CATIA V5’s Generative Structural Analysis workbench to analyze theirindividual FSAE chassis designs. A tutorial is presented that allows a quickly modeled CADwireframe to be analyzed within CATIA using FEA with beam elements.

research grant (e.g., NSF),s/he must comply with already structured research as stated in the grant proposal which rarelyincludes RT as defined and outlined above (NSF’s Broader Impact criterion is not RT). In spiteof these institutional, structural, and procedural constraints, the student co-authors in this paperdeveloped a commitment to RT mainly due to the spaces that their HES graduate programopened to do so and the guidance of faculty committed to RT. Hence, as expected, their RTefforts had to be implemented somewhat haphazardly, often circumventing established academicpractices but without placing themselves in trouble. Other students, while deeply committed toRT, found themselves prioritizing traditional academic writing, valued by academic
