K-12 outreach approaches. Much of the recentpublished work still focuses on fairly small scale outreach efforts that are single camps reaching a limitednumber of high school students28 or programs based around robotics or other competitions.27 Outreach programs by engineering colleges are an effective way to expose K-12 students to theengineering design process, engineering education, and engineering as a career. However, a growingbody of research suggests the need to help K-12 teachers develop the ability for guiding the inquiry anddesign process of engineering and STEM hands-on activities and to support interactions with students asthey tackle interesting problems. Some researchers question whether traditional outreach efforts

opens avenues for future research to explore the dynamics of how socialmedia campaigns can effectively promote STEM education and careers, particularly in terms ofengagement strategies and content optimization.Research ImplicationsImprovement of engagement and communication strategies in educational settings allows forgreater success for both the students and the educator. The analysis of students’ tweets and othersocial media information [22] can inform educators and institutions about the real-time concernsand experiences of new students, guiding the development of targeted support systems, curriculumdesign, and student engagement strategies. For instance, understanding the prevalent themes instudents’ social media discussions can help create

With the primary construction materials being from readily available componentsand craft supplies, the project can easily be implemented in both college and high school learningenvironments with limited resources. The completed robot design involves three main functionalchallenges; maneuverability, ability to pick up small objects, and storage of the objects. Students’ robotswill then compete in a simulated biological environment, with small objects that can be placed at differingheights to vary the task difficulty and represent food sources at multiple elevations. Each team of studentswould be tasked to strategically design their robot to optimize performance in a competition for points. Tooptimize their robots

When research is focused oncomputing students, we see much more robust usage. For example, Amoozadeh and team [10]surveyed over 100 computing students at a large US university and found 76% reported havingused GenAI tools, and 65% reported using them to complete programming tasks.Notably, these student-facing surveys and interviews have not dug into what exactly students aredoing with GenAI, their reflections on its usefulness, and their perceptions on how it is changingtheir educational journey in terms of academic integrity and career prospects.MethodsWe

Conclusions from this line shed light on disciplinary genre use, as well ascommunication and writing conventions. Other studies have sought a broader representation ofdifferent literacies, drawing from disciplinary literacy perspectives (e.g., [30], [31], [32]). Theseauthors present some representations of engineers’ literacy practices, attending to the specificdisciplinary nuances Moje mentioned [26].Considering the lack of research on the literacies of HCD, we explored a taxonomy of human-centered engineering design literacy practices as

Learning hasalso been shown to improve students’ confidence, school engagement, and mental health(Greenberg et al., 2017). Additionally, students tend to benefit long-term and are better preparedfor higher education, more successful in their careers, and more engaged citizens (Greenberg etal., 2017). Tumaini students appear to reap many of these benefits: they felt that they were a partof a supportive community and that they learned a lot about themselves such as how to controltheir emotions, how to be comfortable with themselves, and how to express themselves. Since itis very important that students fully complete their industrial attachments to maximize theirbenefits from the program, the fact that students possess these soft skills speaks
Ethics Narrative Game [Research Paper] Knowing what's right doesn't mean much unless you do what's right. -Theodore RooseveltFostering ethical decision-making skills in undergraduate engineering students is central toABET accreditation and crucial to student engineers’ success in future careers [1]. This ongoingresearch focuses on the development of a narrative game called Mars: An Ethical Expedition(Mars) [2]. The game draws on the contemporary learning theory of situated cognition to providestudents with a situated, contextualized, and playful platform for using and reflecting on theirethical reasoning abilities [3, 4]. The game aims to be an engaging and

We must resist the urge to followinteresting branches from the main topic in these exclusion and inclusion criteria to help theresearcher stay focused.Bork and Mondisa’s 2022 article presents a practical five-stage approach where the outcomes ofeach stage provide a scoping literature review [16]. The stages are inclusion and exclusioncriteria; a reduced batch of references for study from the eligible references, and then literaturedata for analysis. The last outcome is to identify current literature trends and potential researchgaps that will be written about [16].

ResultsThe course, initially introduced in Spring 2013, has run for four semesters since. Its enrollmentranged from 25-35 students per section, with two to three sections being run every semester. Thestudents enrolled were from non-STEM backgrounds and since the course was not a pre-requisite, they were uniformly distributed in their academic careers. The course was run in atraditional lecture style, passive learning manner, for the first two semesters, Spring and Fall2013.

Students often begin such experiences as freshmen while traditional engineeringprograms frequently begin incorporating labs into the educational experience a year or two later.Common objectives for such labs are to demonstrate and reinforce the theoretical concepts beingtaught in the classroom using empirical means and to give students experience using equipmentsimilar to what they are likely to encounter in their careers as engineering professionals3 .In first semester electrical engineering technology laboratories

Almost no one talks about what they want to say, the types of writing they’re interested in, or what kind of writing they may have to do in the future. They do not recall a favorite example of their writing. Very few express ever having enjoyed any act of writing. Often, it seems like they barely understand the questions, because they have no self-concept of themselves as writers.” [6]It is wishful thinking to assume that there is a future where every undergraduate student is aspassionate about writing as those who have defined their careers by
