survey on the impact of additive manufacturing on engineeringeducation. The consequences from the survey present that there is an increase in the ease oflearning, perceived interest and motivation amongst mechanical engineering graduate studentsafter being able to get hands-on access to AM technologies. Such findings could provide a basisfor engineering professoriate to build a case for Additive Manufacturing education. The paper alsosuggests that an early exposure of future generation designers to AM techniques can aid in thedevelopment of a “think-additive” style to product design. Inferences from this paper could beused as cases for universities to explore the option of including AM education in freshman andsophomore curriculum.Concepts like

We are studying if these assumptions are still true with thecurrent generation of students attending our university. We also would like to determine whethermore current topics like sustainability and entrepreneurship appeal to students who may not fit thebill of a “traditional engineer.” When complete, the

The results will be used to makerecommendations for a sustainable program for addressing graduate student professional,academic, and personal development opportunities and meeting the needs addressed in theNational Academy of Engineers’ 2018 Graduate STEM Education for the 21st Century report.ConclusionAnalysis of participant reflections of GradPathways professional development workshops revealedmotivations for students selecting workshops, participant perceptions of workforce skills acquired,and the capacity

Through studying electrospray design and operation, the knowledgegarnered can be transferred to other applications. In particular, the electrostatic acceleration ofthe droplets is transferrable to other forms of ion thrusters, which are more common but harder toimplement in an educational lab setting. Additionally, as a somewhat unknown technology,students will approach the topic with minimal preconceptions that may inhibit learning [10]. 3.

American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Teaching Coding to Elementary Student: the Use of Collective ArgumentationIntroductionStudents develop their perception of the STEM disciplines before and during the elementaryschool grades [1]. Interviews of 116 scientist and engineers, who are either practicing inindustry or participating in graduate studies, found that 60-65% of both female and maleinterviewees indicated their interest in the STEM disciplines was developed before middleschool [2]. A survey of 1000 scientist and 150+ students gives similar results [3].

chance” at education. UVU has a high number of non-traditional students (age 25 or older – 34%), students with spouses (45%) and/or children underage 12 (20%) [1]. It also has the largest percentage of low-income (48%) and first-generation(38%) students of any of the universities in the state. These factors affect the overall graduationrate, which is low at 33% (nationally standardized IPEDS rate for completions within 150% oftime; UVU IR 2019) [1]. UVU’s students live at home or in off-campus housing, which makes itvery difficult to organize activities for student programs. Many students do not have time tospend much time outside of class on campus, leading some to feel little connection with otherstudents.New Engineering ProgramsTo meet one of
