Our focus is on increasing the quantity and quality of our STEMprofessionals’ engagement; therefore, we promote STEM volunteering opportunities as well asprovide sessions with a group of STEM mentors that require less time commitment and buildtrust for future opportunities. This, in effect, mentoring of mentors, will reduce the anxiety ofnew mentors and expand the acceptance of mentoring into the "new normal" of quality, highimpact STEM mentoring. Additionally, to raise the level of ethical responsibility of the mentors,mentors are required to review

EducationBodnar and colleagues [1] conducted a systematic review of game-based learning withinengineering. Through an inclusion/exclusion filtering process, 191 studies were included in theprimary review set, of which 62 included studies on learning outcomes [1]. The reviewdemonstrated games have been used in a variety of engineering disciplines ranging from first-year programs to core disciplines to specific topics within engineering such as ethics and design.However, the most frequent published use of games was in computer, mechanical, electrical, andfirst-year engineering disciplines. There was also a diversity of the types of games being used inengineering classrooms, including gamification methods, board/card games, and digitalimplementations, with

Is held in first week with the following main goals: (i) Familiarize with the grey area of ethics; (ii) Discuss ethical decisions using a board game with presented situations; (iii) Discuss the difference between a legal resolution to a problem, a moral solution, and ethical solution; and (iv) Ethics in research. The topics covered familiarize the participants with the ethics and problems that arise when researching. Ethics case studies are presented using an Ethics Challenge Board Game, which involves group discussions of real life situations and the course of actions, whether

A major weakness of the blended model is the capacity of students for self-directedlearning and so we have identified a need for the course to address metacognitive outcomes – inessence, the course needs to provide support to help students “learn how to learn”. Some studentsstated that they could not learn using online content and “needed to be taught,” as if this is aninherent fact rather than a skill that can be developed. In particular, sections who traditionallystruggle with this course did not find the online content effective for learning and were lesssatisfied with the blended model.

Mission The mission of NCEES is to advance licensure for engineers and surveyors in order to
