researchers at MIT connected an early computer to a millingmachine1. Going forward, the development of the CNC machine changed the capabilities ofmanufacturing by allowing for precise control, which provided increased reliability andaccuracy, as well as product repeatability.More recently, the Standards for Technology Literacy adopted by the International TechnologyEducation Association2 have stated that hands-on learning opportunities should be incorporatedinto the engineering curriculum. Emphasizing this is a rich body of literature based on multipleeducational movements that has shown hands-on activities promote deeper learning andunderstanding of concepts3.Leading students toward a hands-on opportunity to work with a CNC machine will allow them

practiced in real-world settings, educators need to constructopportunities for youth to learn about the socially engaged nature of engineering. Educators canseek to create just and equitable classrooms by cultivating in teachers a critical consciousness ofsocial justice and its role in engineering (Shuster & Giesemann, 2021). This consciousness canbe developed by tying the interactions of classroom life (i.e., talk, texts, technologies) to largerissues of engineering in society. This involves the recognition that engineering is mediated by‘ideologies, beliefs about learning’ and is encoded in ‘representations, spaces and socialpractices’ of the learning environment and of the broader societal context in which engineering ispracticed (Gravel et

How are nationality (and nationalisms) conforming the experiences of Engineeringteachers and learners? We ask, that is, how it is that an individual identifies themself with bothan ethnic or national collective and the putative universality of technoscience, or finds themselfstruggling to do so.For this brief overview of interrogative possibilities, we work with the case of two influentialnodes of global engineering education as they functioned in an especially fraught geopoliticalmoment: the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States and SharifUniversity (previously Aryamehr University of Technology) in

Collegesand Employers (NACE) Career Competencies framework into engineering courses. More thanthree quarters of engineering students are seeking career advancement or career changes withengineering degrees. The integration of NACE Career Competencies helps translate ABETstudent outcomes into practicable career readiness strategies. The courses used projects andguided reflection students to practice eight career competencies: Career and Self Development,Communication, Critical Thinking, Equity and Inclusion, Leadership, Professionalism,Teamwork, and Technology. Preliminary observations from student reflections and advisinginterviews suggest students are intrinsically motivated to connect course exercises to careercompetencies. This study provides a

teaching Quantum Mechanics to Engineering Students was discussed in lastyear's Conference in Seattle, WA, so in this present research the author has made a survey ofhow this material was perceived by senior year Electronics Engineering Technology students. Itwas taught to a class of 22 students who took their 2nd Physics class, in their senior year. Theoutcomes analysis show that for most advanced or even average students majoring in ElectricalEngineering programs, the subject is very consumable and exciting and understandable so longas the calculus by which the equation is solved is kept at minimal level.It was also thought that the possibility of providing a 2 credit hours course entitled “BasicQuantum Mechanics “, or could be given any other
