To educate engineers to perform communityengagement, a module was developed and incorporated as part of three differentengineering courses, namely: 1) science, technology, engineering, art, and math(STEAM) diplomacy (dual-level graduate and undergraduate, elective); 2) public
All movement [1, 2] has universities throughout the worlddeveloping campus-wide entrepreneurship initiatives in the form of new centers, degrees,minors, courses, accelerator programs, and student organizations. Many engineering faculty arebecoming involved in teaching entrepreneurial thinking due to the connection betweenengineering design and opportunity recognition, often associated with entrepreneurship.However, dissemination and sharing practices have yet to be fully optimized across engineeringfaculty and their institutions [3]. The dissemination of best teaching practices can be done through a variety of formats.Yet, within the academic setting, journal manuscripts, and conference proceedings are the mostwell-documented

Critical-path courses can create significant obstacles to graduationas a single DFW (grade of D, F, or withdrawal) grade in any course can impede a student'sability to graduate on time. Reducing course fail rates along the critical path significantly reducesthe students’ time to degree. Furthermore, research shows that students exposed to engineeringdesign [1] and research experiences [2] have a
incorporating computational tasksinto statistics education is one of them [11,12]. The mini-lecture and active learning model wasused by [11] in a data science course taught by faculty in statistics, while [12] recommended anemphasis on applications in a data analytics course. The use of real-world applications was alsorecommended by [13] in a physics programming course. In an inter-disciplinary course thatincluded students from "business, liberal arts, and engineering and computer science,” [14, p.1]reliance on cross-disciplinary collaboration and business applications was used to increasestudent interest. In their work to incorporate data science modules into multiple STEM courses,[15] encouraged data collection activities as well as visualization

Theworkshops incorporated activities designed to create an environment fostering respect,belonging, and acceptance to make teamwork more inclusive and effective.Each workshop was based on collaborative learning and used a broad range of strategies toengage students as active participants in learning about diversity, equity, and inclusion within thecontext of teamwork. To develop the workshops, the facilitators aligned the activities with keythemes from chapters in the book From Athletics to Engineering: 8 Ways to Support Diversity,Equity, and Inclusion for All [1

As it relates tograduate education in engineering, attention has similarly been paid to creating inclusive learningenvironments and supporting the full participation of students. In a report titled “Graduate STEMEducation for the 21st Century”, the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine(NASEM) mentioned that, in an ideal STEM (science, technology, engineering, andmathematics) graduate education system, “Students from all backgrounds would fully participateand achieve their greatest potential during their educational experience through

However, the lack of physical interaction and engagement in online learning canresult in decreased student motivation and performance [1]. Gamification could be a solution tothis issue, by incorporating elements of game design to online learning environments, such asrewards, challenges, points, badges, leaderboards, and feedback [2, 3]. Gamification has becomea popular trend in recent years, and its popularity has spread across various fields such aseducation [3, 4], health [5], employment [6], commerce [7

Utilizing these theories, many studies have sought to quantify identity inengineering [5]–[8].
