school students participated in a week-long summer camp thatfocused on electrical and computer engineering (ECE) concepts and practices. The five-daysummer camp consisted of hands-on activities, tours of different laboratories in ECE disciplines,and a group project that spanned the whole week where students built circuits using theSparkFun Inventor’s kit. During the group activity, the students were organized into eightgroups, and each group was mentored by an undergraduate mentor who facilitated thecollaborative hands-on activities. The middle school students completed validated and reliablepre and post-surveys adapted from the Student Attitudes Toward STEM (S-STEM) Survey andthe Group Work Skills Questionnaire Manual. The S-STEM survey is

The broader implications of his research are informed by his comprehensive experiences as a college administrator. His areas of scholarly interest include: 1) Broadening participation in engineering through community college pathways and 2) Experiences of first and second-generation African diasporic Americans in engineering undergraduate programs. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 Teacher Perspectives of Outcomes and Challenges Resulting from Students' Interactions with MATLAB in e4usa (Fundamental)AbstractAs part of the e4usa curriculum, a MATLAB model has been developed and

insight into the exciting possibilities that industrial engineering holds by providing anenvironment where education, exploration, and enjoyment are met. For future summer camps,we plan to change the true/false questions to matching or multiple-choice to capture students’understanding more thoroughly.Conclusions The ENCHANT summer camp successfully introduced middle school students toconcepts in Industrial Engineering and Robotics through interactive learning methods, whichincluded both general topics and current research topics. Participants engaged in four activitiesthat stimulated their curiosity about the field of engineering and discussed complex engineeringconcepts including optimization, robotics, trust in automation, and autonomous

with limitedprofessional development (PD) to support their understanding of BID. Thus, future studiesshould provide concrete PD experiences that allow teachers to develop a better sense of BID foreffective classroom implementation. Additionally, while the two participants differedsignificantly regarding their backgrounds and experiences, both were male. Teacher diversity(i.e., teacher backgrounds and experiences) provided insights regarding the challenges that mayarise when integrating BID in engineering classrooms. However, future studies should attempt toinclude more diverse teacher populations (e.g., women) to capture broader perspectives.Conclusion and ImplicationIn conclusion, the findings illustrate that teachers, even with limited PD
