adequately developing creativity,entrepreneurial mindset, and cultural competency, which leaves them ill-prepared to solve 21st-century problems. Researchers indicate that these professional skills are not specifically includedin the ABET student learning outcomes and are not assessed in engineering curricula. There is anoverarching concern that curricula favor technical skills over professional skills. This qualitativeresearch study explores how engineering faculty currently provide engineering students withopportunities to develop professional skills. Three semi-structured interviews and one focusgroup were conducted to capture the knowledge and perceptions of engineering faculty in amechanical engineering department. Major findings include the

undergraduate students in their researchwork. This is a work in progress, but 50 responses have been collected so far across fouruniversities. Figure 2 shows faculty responses to the question: “What is your biggest concernabout working with undergraduate students?” The results indicated the most significant concern(45% of the responses) is “Short duration (no deep / prolonged engagement)” Many students findout about research opportunities when they are juniors or seniors, and close to graduation. As aresult, it is worthwhile to communicate research opportunities to students earlier in theirundergraduate study to address this common concern. Figure 2. Faculty Responses to Question “What is your biggest concern about working with

time to add new ideas or projects [8]. Theyfound that fewer than 25% of the sampled classroom-specific resources could be completed inone class period or less. There appears to be a need in the engineering education community forshorter EML activities that enhance students' abilities to learn and engage with technical content.Active learning is described in different ways, and some of them include: a) “..anything thatinvolves students in doing things and thinking about the things they are doing”, b) “involvesproviding opportunities for students to meaningfully talk and listen, write, read and reflect on thecontent ideas, issues and concerns of an academic subject”, c) “increasing of studentparticipation or ‘interactivity’, for the purpose of

engineering, entrepreneurship, andsocial entrepreneurship fields.Multiple studies have shown that interdisciplinary knowledge and methods or key to the successof endeavors that bring together Engineering, entrepreneurship, and a focus on socialimprovement, especially as this concerns social entrepreneurship. Within the area of engineeringeducation, especially when there is a focus on solving social problems, interdisciplinary workhas long been touted as a key component for success (Van den Beemt et al., 2020). For example,Vogel-Houser et al. (2020) argue that emerging fields in engineering, such as cyber-physicalproduction systems, require interdisciplinary knowledge and methods. Dubey et al. (2020) arguethat new trends in engineering education

images oranimations, but there were also issues (typical of novice presentations) that would not be difficultto correct. For example, most presentations had slides with text that was too small to read,although there was often ample space to use a larger font. Some students tried to read all of thetext on each slide, and several teams ran out of time, suggesting that they hadn’t practicedcarefully enough. Given the students’ inexperience and limited time, we could provide andenforce a template, or require student teams to practice their presentation with a coach.Another concern was the attitude and seriousness of some students. While nearly all studentswere enthusiastic and worked steadily throughout the event, at times some students

withtechnical issues during the process. To support students in following through with recording theirstories, we hosted three drop-in “recording parties” where the involved faculty and staff wereavailable at the recording studio to answer questions and cheer on students in recording theirstories. Students’ recordings were then compiled by the campus learning technology office staffwho provided editing services, added music, and performed voice overs to connect the variousstories and their topics. Importantly, final drafts of the episodes were shared with students beforebeing released to give students a right of refusal for release of their story even after it wasrecorded. We believe this step is crucial for fostering psychological safety within the

attractive to underrepresented groups in engineering.The purpose of this paper is to describe the course and assess its effectiveness both in terms ofimplementation and in terms of student learning. Specifically, this paper will: (1) describe thecourse objectives, course topics, and course assignments, (2) describe what has worked well andidentify areas for improvement, (3) provide recommendations for other faculty interested inimplementing a similar course or incorporating these themes into already-existing courses, and(4) summarize students’ perceptions of and learning within the course. To evaluate studentlearning and feedback on the course, a final reflection assignment, as well as comments withinteaching evaluation surveys, both completed by

Engineering Education, 2024 Exploring the Relationships between Artistic Creativity and Innovation Attitudes in Engineering StudentsAbstractThis research explored potential relationships between the innovation self-efficacy (ISE) ofengineering students and their artistic creativity and life experiences revealed on an ice-breakerassignment. In a community-building assignment, students were directed to introduce themselvesthrough cartoon monster drawings that communicated various personal attributes (such as thenumber of languages they speak, and the number of states visited). Previous research has foundthat multicultural experiences can shape feelings of self-efficacy concerning innovation andcreativity. This pilot study was

However, programs and datasets are rare with sufficient sizeand diversity to allow researchers to examine group differences across key variables that impactparticipation and outcomes. The I-Corps program affords a unique opportunity to exploreintersectionality and group differences among faculty and graduate students participating inacademic entrepreneurship training. Future research related to the topics of broadeningparticipation in academic entrepreneurship, or examining the effectiveness of entrepreneurshiptraining targeting academic researchers, must include careful attention to the development andvalidation of measures able to detect potential bias, and account for issues of self-selection whenmaking

mapping is still evident in modern engineering education. Research on EM scholarship has thoroughly established concept mapping as a tool within engineering education[9], [10], [11], [12], [13]. Concept mapping allows students to exploreideas creatively, while still allowing instructors to understand thought processes and knowledge development[12]. This previous research lays the groundwork for concept mapping as a tool to analyze a student's EM. Through this research, this paper seeks to accomplish the mix of extrapolation of concept mapping to a new context which can assess the GCSP-REU program as a whole. The described proposed application of concept mapping is an application to an REU

the nascent stages of creating a pipelinewhere we collaborate more intentionally on activities and projects. The goal is to createcollaboration moments between the two groups of students, as well as a support network amongthe college and high school faculty. Already, we have learned that discussions about thecurriculum are key. Researchers from the university have met with teachers and administratorsfrom the program to discuss possible activities where high school and undergraduate studentsmight collaborate. We have also begun to find ways for mentoring and peer-evaluation to happenacross the spaces. We are thrilled with the possibilities. One of the things that has been harder than expected concerns the need to addressdifferent
