promising findings of this research and the encouraging feedback of the student community motivated him to pursue this line of research in his NSF CAREER award in 2017. Since then, he has built a coalition within the university to expand this work through multiple NSF-funded research grants including IUSE/PFE: RED titled ”Innovation Beyond Accommodation: Leveraging Neurodiversity for Engineering Innovation”. Because of the importance of neurodiversity at all levels of education, he expanded his work to graduate STEM education through an NSF IGE grant. In addition, he recently received his Mid-CAREER award through which, in a radically novel approach, he will take on ambitious, transdisciplinary research integrating

Nextsteps would integrate a more detailed discussion of the meaning of the mood data with thestory findings in the discussion.Since an expectation for negative consequences was such a prominent result in our study andappeared to be an intervening variable, a possible consideration for next steps in research is tocreate a research design focus with carefully defined negative consequences.6. ImpactIt’s useful to recognize how our students redefine the concepts of commitment to work andinnovation. Faculty should continue to be aware of how to, in addition to facilitating naturalsciences driven learning in engineering, increase innovative potential among their studentsinside and outside of the classroom.

procedures forreviews changed: neither tutors nor students were present in-person, review sheets were sent tostudents in the Zoom chat, and tutors worked through homework questions on whiteboards overvideo. To ask questions, participants could unmute their microphones or post them in the chat.Through the College of Engineering (COE) Tutoring Office, students also had the option toreceive one-on-one drop-in peer tutoring for most courses taken in the first two years of theengineering curriculum. This office was staffed by undergraduate peer tutors. Prior to theCOVID-19 pandemic, peer tutoring was offered in person, which allowed students to “drop-in”during operating hours without an appointment. In Fall 2020 one-on-one tutoring was onlyoffered

Davis and Linn alsofound that reflective prompts are able to prompt students' knowledge integration andencourage their reflection [8]. Other researchers have adopted scaffolding strategies to facilitate students to developskills of self-regulated learning and creative problem solving. Blank et al. developed andimplemented a Self-regulated Learning Assessment System as an intervention to helpstudents majoring in electromechanical engineering technology better reflect on feedbackabout their learning, their learning performance, and
entrepreneurial courses due to the crowded curriculum and doesnot require students to take entrepreneurial courses, entrepreneurial concepts were integrated inclassroom activities in the various and existing engineering courses.Another reason for using the above approach is that each author who are full-time faculty havetaught between 35-plus courses in electrical engineering, computer engineering, systemengineering, mathematics and physics at the University. This advantage allows CoE to carefullyintegrate entrepreneurial activities in a number of courses throughout the engineering curriculumto help students build an entrepreneurial mindset.CoE has integrated entrepreneurial classroom activities in several undergraduate courses [1] [2][3] [4].

To determine the impact of the program, this paperexamines the following research questions: RQ1. Does participation in SEEK improve students’ academic self-efficacy? How does impact compare across gender? RQ2. How well does academic self-efficacy predict students’ aspirations of becoming an engineer? For boys? For girls?BackgroundNSBE created the
highestbarrier in the questionnaire results. After lack of time, access to materials was cited as the secondbiggest barrier during the interview.The factors lack of knowledge, inability to figure out books and problems, and difficulty in NElesson planning were described as major concerns after the top three barriers. From the interviewresponses, it is apparent that figuring out books and problems is just one aspect of knowledgewhen it comes to integrating NE into curriculum. Being knowledgeable about which direction tofollow, what lessons to cover, and finding age appropriate materials were some of the otherproblems identified by teachers.2. Effects of PDIn order to determine whether there might be any relationship between participants
learners across globalcontexts, further work is needed to explore the implementation and adaptation of AL acrossglobal contexts (Mtika and Gates), particularly from the firsthand perspective of educatorsleading curricular transformation.To contribute to this gap in literature, our purpose is to describe the curricular design andimplementation of a bidirectional faculty development workshop, designed to support Malawianfaculty in integrating AL approaches into engineering courses. The faculty developmentworkshop was collaboratively led by Malawi-trained engineering faculty and United States-trained engineering faculty, providing an example of bidirectional knowledge-sharing on theimplementation of AL approaches across global contexts. Specifically
include a small number of time points, a lack of a control group, minimalcollection of open-ended data, and software limitations.IntroductionThe addition of both engineering design and practices in the Next Generation Science Standards(NGSS) [1] has provided an opportunity for the development of curricula and new instructionalframeworks that integrates engineering into science classrooms. The development of suchcurricula and frameworks has been the call of many K-12 science education panels andcommittees [2], [3], including the Teachers Advisory Council, who proposed five benefits ofadding engineering in K-12 classrooms: 1) an increased learning in math and science, 2) anawareness of the work of engineers, 3) the ability to engage in engineering
