institutions to implement similar plans to return to normalrecruitment and outreach activities. Perhaps the greatest argument for returning to recruitingactivities, including in person events is the fact Engineering Technology (ETEC) is hands-on, andit is important for potential students to come experience things like the state-of-the-art lab facilitiesat ETEC. Fall of 2021, The Department of Engineering Technology organized Saturdays@SAMand ExCEL@SAM events in conjunction with campus Visitor Services. Three hundred plusstudents had the opportunity to visit the university campus.

multiple concepts. Students were also asked to identify necessary modifications to theanalysis if a physical change was made to the system to demonstrate understanding without re-solving problems.As an instructor in a flipped classroom, it was necessary to accept uncertainty. Immediate studentfeedback was used to influence the use of class time rather than a carefully planned lecture. Itwas helpful to consider common questions or challenges from students from prior semesters,conceptual questions to probe understanding, content summaries to link knowledge, and multipleexample problems or variations to problem statements to provide additional guidance andpractice where students struggled the most. This meant preparing material that may never beused

Proceedings | Paper ID 35749Our camp had some limitations too. Although we planned to involve parents in the camp byhaving a STEM career session we were unable to execute this piece because our camp was heldMon to Friday (i.e., on working days). We consider that for future implementations, onlineresources about STEM careers can be provided to parents to address the limitation of meeting inperson. Our sponsor required 6th to 8th-grade girls only hence we had to turn down girls fromother grades. Thus, although we targeted 150 girls we were only able to have a total of 116 girlsspread over the 6 weeks. This was in spite of inviting all girls who met the criteria and whocompleted the application process. Some of the free responses from the girls

Our outcomes indicate that wehave been successful at helping to prepare students for success in graduate school and increasediversity of BMMB at the graduate level.Future WorkWe plan to continue tracking participant progress through their degrees and into the careers theypursue in comparison to their original intent as reported during the program.This research is supported by the National Science Foundation grant number 1852298. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2022 2022 ASEE Illinois-Indiana Section Conference

30 years of industrial experience, most of the students simply did not graspthe concepts sufficiently to do well in the course. The final grade distribution was bifurcated with five of14 students getting an overall average of 88% or better while five got an average of 75% or less, and onewithdrew before the mid-term exam.After the experience of teaching ENGR 207, the author concluded that the majority of today’s generationof students do not respond well to the methods that were used in Engineering classrooms in the 1980swhen he was a student. However, with little time to make modifications in his planned approach for the5 Ibid.6 Ibid.7 Ibid.8 Jones, D.R.H., and M. F. Ashby, Engineering Materials 1, 5th edition, Butterworth-Heinemann

The graduate students experienced that teams with diverse educationalbackground attacked the problem from diverse perspectives. This facilitated in achieving anoptimal solution to the problem.By working with team members with diverse educational background and experiences, thegraduate students learned different work styles, approaches, attitudes, and ethics. For example, thegraduate students experienced that team members with engineering backgrounds strived for bestresults and settled for most optimal work possible, whereas members with managementbackgrounds were focused on effective task completion and

The projects range from local industry sponsored projects to faculty definedprojects related to research interests. Teams typically range from 4 to 6 students.Learning outcomes for the first semester course are: 1. Apply the engineering designprocess to engineering technology problems. 2. Evaluate customer needs whendefining a solution. 3. Determine a preferred solution. 4. Define and develop a plan forimplementing a technical solution.

also connects the consideration of impacts and concerns to ethics: Ethical considerations can and should be embedded in projects from the outset, from the planning and design stages, right through the development life cycle, to implementation and evaluation. Key actors, users and stakeholders can, and should, be involved in the design of systems and devices from the earliest stages [18, p. 45].Considering key actors, stakeholders, and their perspectives is not restricted to computer systemcreation.
