American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Work in Progress: Effects of computational aspects of differential equations (DE) course delivery on students’ computing experience in engineering instructionIntroductionRecent literature and Industry 4.0 discussions [1] have highlighted the need for engineeringgraduates to gain computational facility in all stages of ill-posed, industry-relevant problemsolving, from problem framing to understanding of and confidence in algorithm output.Chemical and mechanical engineering students grapple with both ordinary and partial differentialequations in their engineering coursework using computational methods that they may not

An entrepreneurial mindset is defined by the Kern EntrepreneurialEngineering Network (KEEN) as supporting students in developing advanced skills and mindsetsto equip students to create personal, economic, and societal value [1]. Traditional computerscience education often focuses on technical and collaboration skills. The mindset is a criticalskill to develop in a software engineering course as many students can rapidly create novelapplications as demonstrated by the rise and success of mobile apps. This class was redesigned tobuild a set of skills and mindsets to focus the students on creating value.The modules described in this paper, and contextualized in purple in Figure 1

Taking a different tactic, the InternationalSociety for Technology in Education and the Computer Science Teachers Association polled teachers,researchers, and practitioners to create an operational definition that lists a set of skills and qualities,instead of stating an all-encompassing principle (ISTE & CSTA, 2011).

225,500 graduate STEM degrees were awarded in the U.S.; 181,000 being masterdegrees and 44,500 were doctoral degrees [1], [2], [3] . According to the National ScienceFoundation (NSF) [4], URM graduate students only earned about 9% of the overall doctoraldegrees awarded in 2015 and about 13% of undergraduate degrees. This evidence suggests thatSTEM doctoral programs in the U.S. are severely deficient in representation from students ofdifferent racial and ethnic groups. This is a disturbing historical and contemporary trend thatuniversities should pay close attention because of the implications on America’s ability tocompete on a global level with nation states succeeding at preparing individuals for careers inSTEM fields.The participation of URM

During the remaining 20% of their day, students in United States publicschools spend the least amount of time receiving science-related instruction compared to readingand math [2]. In addition, other disciplines like technology and engineering may not be availableto students during their school day. The accessibility and quality of science

Thesearch resulted in a full-text review of 25 articles that explore programmatic outcomes for pre-college students with the intent to diversify the STEM workforce. Initial findings suggest that thegoal of these intervention programs is to provide enriching experiences for these students toencourage interests to pursue a STEM career as well as boost confidence in STEM subjects.Metrics used to target the effectiveness of programs revolved around three criteria: (1) studentacademic achievement in science and math, (2) matriculation through a STEM major and (3)competency in engineering-oriented skills.

A literature review informedthis conceptualization and revealed a lack of consistency in the conceptual structure ofbelongingness in both higher education and engineering education. This work will include thefollowing: 1) a brief review on the varied characteristics of sense of belonging (e.g., definitionsand constructs/defining components) in different context (e.g., K-12 education, undergraduateeducation, graduate education, and community) among different populations (e.g., adolescents,undergraduate students, underrepresented students, and adults), 2) a

SEEK is a three-week summer program organized by the National Society ofBlack Engineers (NSBE) to expose children to hands-on, team-based engineering designprojects. The purpose of this work-in-progress paper is to discuss the data analysis process usedto examine shifts in children’s perceptions of engineers as a result of participating in theprogram. Children’s perceptions were captured using prompts asking them to either (1) drawthemselves as an engineer or (2) draw an engineer. Each SEEK participant received one of thetwo prompts.

Over the past three years it has become increasinglydifficult to recruit volunteers for WE@RIT’s largest event, an accepted student overnight calledWE Retreat; and the rate of no-shows at events targeting current students, called Kate’s Hours,has skyrocketed in some cases. For example, WE Retreat saw first-year student volunteerparticipation rates drop from 72% of total WE Retreat volunteers in 2010, to 36% of total WERetreat volunteers in 2019 (Fig. 1).
