While many states have other additional pathways to engineering licensure for those not having an EAC/ABET degree (commonly also requiring additional years of engineering experience), the NCEES Model Law does not provide for any alternative formal educational path other than being a “graduate of an engineering of 4 years or

the ability to work together while solving an open-ended designproblem, and being able to overcome any obstacles that arise. These obstacles involve differingwork ethics, personalities, and communication styles. Inevitably, these differences can lead toconflict, and a need to resolve disagreements within the team. These ever-present emotionalaspects to working in a team are found not only in student projects, but also on the projects theywill be working on once they graduate. Finding the skills as a student to successfully navigatethe myriad of issues that may arise when working with others, sets student up for success in theirengineering careers after graduation, as shown by Jones (1996) [1] and Seat et al.

of EEP non-participants also shared criticism ofentrepreneurship and EEPs, moving beyond disinterest into specific concerns aboutentrepreneurial spaces. These women STEM academics described critiques or concerns about thepractices of entrepreneurship conflicting with their personal ethics and/or stances that academiashould not be about making money. For example, Dr. Madani shared: “I just want to be on the record as saying I am flat-out straight against entrepreneurship because as a scientist, I don’t want our students to grow up thinking, “I’m making this to sell it.” I am 100% supportive of entrepreneurship mindset” (Madani Interview, 04/29/2021)Dr. Madani’s exemplar animates the challenges some women STEM faculty

An attempt is made in this paper to map some of theengineering courses using the concept mapping tool Cmap [2].Concept map developmentIdentifying a focus question is paramount in the construction of the concept maps [1]. For mostof the engineering courses, the focus question can be ‘how to design in engineering ’? The nextstep is to identify a few concepts that are pertinent to the question. In engineering design, we usemath and science to find solutions for engineering problems. But in the process of arriving atsolutions to problems, we should be conscious and consider questions of ethics, safety, empathy,human interface, and other values. The above values are informed, for the most part, by

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.

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
