@mail.rmu.eduAbstractEducational Robotics (ER) is a field of study that possesses the ability to inspire and educate thenext generation of engineering students. Over its fifty-year history, educators and researchershave shown the ability to meaningfully engage students in a variety of STEM topics viaestablished ER tools and methods. To that end, it is necessary to survey this area of study inorder to understand what platforms and methods are currently used; and to investigate theirimpacts on students. This survey will show how embracing Educational Robotics can have apositive impact on students at the secondary education level. It will investigate how prolificallyERs are used as part of a curriculum, in co-curricular roles, and in extracurricular clubs. It willalso

EM’s integration into the engineering curriculum are that itreinforces technical concepts (especially in design-related topics), helps promote greaterinclusion within the profession, and develops a mindset oriented towards problem-solving,empathy, creativity, and valuing the expertise of others. 10 The KEEN Framework’s“mindset+skillset” approach presents EM as a competency geared towards graduates creatingvalue for their organizations and communities in successful and rewarding engineering careers. 9To succinctly put it, EM is CBE.KEEN’s approach also benefits the development of computing professionals. Researchinvestigating the EM of engineering and computer science students did not report any differencesbetween these two groups.11 The

time to ensure resourceswere accessible and ADA compliant. As a response to this need, and building on the success ofthe Champions course, additional funding was requested during the third grant cycle (2021-2022) to build an open accessibility course with special focus on challenges in STEM resources.Through iterative design, a course was rapidly developed which equipped faculty with the skillsand resources needed to create accessible and compliant OER materials for their courses. TheAccessibility Course for Education (ACE) aims to 1) increase the knowledge of accessibledesign practices, and 2) to encourage conversations around accessibility. The course providesintroductory modules on general accessibility topics and basic design principles

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2022 Developing Power Cycles Simulations for an Applied Thermodynamics CourseAbstractAs part of the rigorous curriculum for the Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) students,laboratory courses supply a critical part of the engineering education through hands-onobservation, measurement, data acquisition, data analysis and interpretation, technical reporting,teamwork, and others. When the access to hands-on laboratory activities was abruptly interrupteddue to COVID-19, there was an immediate need 1) to find practical computer simulations, and/or2) to develop new simulations, both in support of the theory discussed during
