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.

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

Most K-12 teachershave no experience teaching engineering concepts or design.

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.

redesigned a project in an introductory bioengineering course to explore stress managementtechniques through physiology, biosensors, and design. The project allows students to developdesign skills and to explore the impact of wellness practices on human physiology. Assessmentof the curricular redesign will be measured by student evaluations of the offering and theirwillingness to engage in the mindfulness portion of the course. The COVID-19 pandemic hasemphasized the need to focus on student wellbeing in addition to physical health. Integration ofwellness into the core curriculum promotes the use of existing campus resources presented inclass and may normalize the use of these resources within engineering departments and colleges.Ultimately, the
