stakeholders as well as teachers.Keywords: Integrated STEM, STEM education, preservice teachers, perceptionsIntroductionSTEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) integration is a dynamic andinnovative educational strategy (Li et al., 2020). Integrating STEM fields is essential forsolving complex problems in the information age (Chai, 2018). In contrast to the tendency inK-12 education to treat S, T, E, and M as separate disciplines, integrated STEM educationcombines these subjects to represent real-world contexts (Aguirre-Muñoz et al., 2020;Baptista et al., 2023). This student-centered and integrative approach enables students toconfront practical challenges by drawing insights and skills from both STEM and non-STEMfields. For instance

steps in an institutional transformation project to adapt standardSTEM models of undergraduate research programs to the Summer Research Program at AFIT.AFIT is partnering with SOCHE to provide students in the fields of Science, Technology,Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) with a better experience and improve the existingprogram. In the effort to find solutions to improve the existing summer research program at agovernment institution, one goal is to provide a better summer research experience for students.The new paradigm that we present in this paper is novel and unique because we were able tofigure out a way forward to assess students’ experiences in 2012 and use this information to gainsupport and resources to upgrade future summer student
otherwise harmonious patterns in ongoing institutions. The patterns themselves, however, are not identified as anything problematic.” 11 He further explains that because of the structure of case studies, the context is never critically considered. For example, in the case of the cruise missile the decision to participate in building nuclear weaponry is not only rendered invisible, but is tacitly sanctioned. Similarly tacit in the case study approach is the presumption that engineers are technological stewards who have the capacity to make informed judgments about appropriate professional conduct without consulting with the publics that their judgments may affect. Indeed, engineering ethics education

advocating ashift from a sole focus on student outcomes, we call attention to outcomes 4 and 5, which reflectsystem-level abilities, “An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities inengineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact ofengineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts; An ability tofunction effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborativeand inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.” Transdisciplinarylearning mirrors an authentic setting of “real world” engineering practice.Table 1.

These findings show the role digital spaces play in developing competent, inspiredmakers.1 IntroductionIncreasing complexity continues to challenge engineers. Today, designers are required to expandthe boundaries of design, often involving multi-disciplinary skills [1, 2]. To help cope withcomplexity, engineering designers must be adept at seeking and learning new information andrelevant skills. Fortunately, in the digital age, we have instant access to endless knowledge andinspiration through the internet.21st century students are integrating web-based technologies to augment their studies

control contributed to resistance. Like in these formal studies of failure,educational failure analysis also emerges informally through teachers’ continuous assessmentand improvement processes in their classrooms. While failure analysis likely occurs informally,we have seen less evidence of a formal failure analysis process occurring at the educationalresearcher level, and we believe we have an opportunity to gain significant knowledge from suchtools when they are applied to process (in our case, program) improvement. From this thinking,we applied failure analysis to our engineering education program, with the key performanceindicator for failure being defined as “lower applications than desired.” We sought to discoverany factor contributing to

For undergraduate institutions and specificallySchools of Engineering, Design and Technology intending to respond to the challenges ofthese increasingly important global contexts, a key emerging question is how best to preparestudents for such settings while continuing also with engineering fundamentals and theincreasingly complex technological subject matter.Clearly there can be several approaches to develop students for multi-disciplinary,international collaboration settings

Optical Networking Consortium.Introduction – extended summary of the panel messageLook around. Our world is becoming increasingly more connected. Ten years ago, using aphone for streaming live video or conducting business operations was limited and nearlyunimaginable. Looking into the future ten years from now promises new technologies andcapabilities that will in turn further revolutionize everything we know now aboutcommunications. The 5G revolution is emerging and promises unprecedented advances in termsof frequency coverage, data rates, numbers of simultaneous users, spectral efficiency, andreduced latency. Beyond 5G, new wireless-enabled applications for Internet of things, smarthome and building technologies, and integrated health platforms
