Through an NSF Research Experience andMentoring (REM) summer program, CISTAR was able to give students and teachers anopportunity to do 6-weeks of cutting-edge research at CISTAR and then “give back” bymentoring kids for 4-weeks at NSBE SEEK—all in one summer. In this paper, we elaborate onthe rationale for the program, namely

Kindness is also associated with the positive emotions of happiness andjoy, in contrast with compassion [27]. Further discussion of the affordances of kindness as amodel for engineering are discussed after the literature survey process.Connections between kindness and other concepts that resulted from an attempt to summarizethe literature are shown in Figure 1. While certainly not exhaustive, keeping these relationshipsin mind is helpful.Figure 1.

With this in mind, the mobile studio approach is truly seenas an additional tool to be utilized where possible, but is not a complete replacement fortraditional laboratory equipment for all courses. We envision that aside from these very fewexceptions, nearly all courses can be designed to utilize the mobile studio lab instrumentationeffectively.IV Mobile Studio LogisticsThis section discusses the key considerations that informed the hardware selection process andguided the decision process for the practical logistics of implementing a mobile studio basedelectrical engineering

The creation of the online course from the existing in-person, on-site course afforded anopportunity to take advantage of reconsidering the delivery of both the theoretical content andthe practical hands-on component. The conversion of an in-person course to an onlineasynchronous course requires more than simply capturing in-class video and making it available.For the Anytime-Anywhere Engineering Experimentation course, we used a learner-centeredapproach to course design. We employed a backwards design model in the creation of the coursecontent. Wiggins and McTighe describe backwards design as “an approach to designing acurriculum … that begins with the end in mind and designs towards that end”.[8

opportunities for building teacher capacity in engineering education.23 Each teacherreaches hundreds if not thousands of students over the course of their career. However, very feware trained to teach engineering content, design or habits of mind, creating a large need foraccess to high-quality, Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)-aligned engineeringcurriculum and the accompanying professional development (PD) coaching. Most K-12 teachershave no experience teaching engineering concepts or design. Getting comfortable with designand computational thinking takes practice, and our goal is to increase educators' confidence andability, and in turn grow students' interest and identity in engineering.

nature of engineering practice? As engineeringeducators, our responses to these questions often emphasize contextualization. Efforts toencourage engagement with public welfare, sociotechnical thinking, or social justice amongengineering students often begin - and sometimes end - with illuminating the broader context ofengineering practice and problems. For socially minded engineering educators, contextualizationis nearly always a virtue.This paper analyzes and critiques practices of contextualizing engineering. Based on a qualitativecontent review of recent engineering education literature, we first describe and classify differentmodes of contextualization. In some cases, contextualizing means adding personal context oralternative perspectives

From an engineering educator’s perspective, it provides information on the critical process issues and challenges with the
to continuously develop and apply knowledgeof mathematics while in school and throughout professional practice.IntroductionEngineering analysis depends on mathematical models of the physical world; however, inengineering practice, the models are often already developed, the solutions derived, and acomputer program written to carry out the calculations. Practicing engineers are engaged inapplying the answers; the model development and computer programming required to generatethose answers is purchased and usually ignored. Practicing engineers, doing work for hire, can’tafford to reinvent published solutions. With this in mind, some might conclude that engineeringanalysis is simply an I/O process where engineers match the task to a known
