4th, 5th, and 6th grade studentsover a period of two years in several school districts across Missouri. We surveyed 129 studentswith pre- and post-instruments. We found that students reported high positive attitudes towardmath and science. Males and females did not differ in attitudes toward math and science. Toassist teachers with understanding the relatively new engineering and science standards, we areadding specific standards to the curricula. We provide such an overview of standards below forboth engineering and neuroscience. We also note that the comparative theme of human(brain/body) and artificial (Lego) robotics used in the curriculum is not only interdisciplinary andengaging, but also enables inclusion of science, mathematics

Through the narrative, wehighlight the conversations that happened as the educator reflected on the work in her classroomwith the two other authors. The conversation themes highlighted include the motivation fortrying this new activity, concerns throughout the quarter about student response rates, and twocases that surfaced issues of inclusion, prompting further discussion.After recounting this narrative, we dive into a discussion on how the engineering

While exemplary case studies of mobilestudio platform usage in single courses or course sequences can be found in the literature, thiswork documents a proposal to design a new Electrical Engineering curriculum that utilizes acommon mobile studio platform throughout all years of the curriculum, across many courses.This paper is organized as follows: Section II summarizes the current state of the literature onmobile studio pedagogy; Section III examines the proposed curriculum integration of a mobilestudio lab instrumentation; Section IV presents
development of a module onsustainable engineering. The student engagement and interest in this module was measured, andthese results have led to the design of a full semester long course titled Engineering for SustainableDevelopment for undergraduate students of all majors. The course took a modular approach in itsdevelopment with each topical module having clearly defined and measurable outcomes with someindependence. Responding to those demands for a more sustainable engineering practice, thecourse involves sustainable circular designs as core promoters of a circular economy. Thisinnovative design thinking will create a new mentality in engineering students. In this paper, theauthors present the process followed for the design, implementation and

However, such an approach has been met withresistance due to the overreliance on technical subject matter in the engineering curriculum [32],[34], [35].

However, how and which are the bestapproaches to better educate the next generation of power and energy engineers, remain openquestions. In addition of teaching courses in electrical machines and power systems, highereducation institutes must include new courses and topics into curriculum, such as renewableenergy systems, power electronics, smart grids, energy economics and management, to mention afew of them while still ensuring a four-year graduation timeframe [2-9].The modern power systems have been significantly changed from the very modest beginnings toone of the most complex and large system, perhaps the largest machine or

engineering engaged with thechairs of the chemistry, biology, physics, and math departments to identify required courses andthe logistics of course scheduling, as many courses are only offered once during the academic year.Meetings were also held with the director of the pre-medical program to identify required coursesfor a pre-med track for the BME students. This collaborative approach was instrumental in creatinga new program curriculum which is heavy in pre-requisite courses. Seven general engineeringcourses (22 credit hours), two chemistry courses (8 credit hours), two biology courses (8 credithours), three physics courses (12 credit hours), four math courses (14 credit hours), and one projectmanagement course (2 credit hours) were incorporated
professional engineers personally showed the need for practical and applied skills[1]. Institutions with engineering technology programs expanded associate programs to includebaccalaureate curricula, which included mathematical theory, alongside technical skills,mimicking traditional engineering programs before the 1950s [1].One issue in the formation and growth of four-year engineering technology programs was anaming convention. With the reluctance of engineering faculty to adopt the bifurcated curricula,engineering programs were, and still are unwilling to adopt engineering technology programs asengineering [1]. Ideas for naming this new baccalaureate degree program included "AppliedEngineering" and "Engineering Science" [4]. Academic institutions

This research is a part of a larger mixed-methods effort to categorizeand identify responses pathways of situational HC in engineering. Because HC research inengineering is still relatively new [1], [5], [22]-[23], we were able to use participants’ qualitativeresponses to build the first set of strategies that women engineers use to resist situational HC.This research approach has allowed us to glimpse the impacts
