Later I taught college-levelcomputing courses including introductory freshman computing and graduate courses in scientificvisualization and virtual reality programming. I also conducted research, in conjunction withH. Scott Fogler, into the use and development of virtual reality for chemical engineeringeducation. This research was conducted with undergraduate student programmers, and produceda number of virtual-reality based educational modules. Papers were written predominantly forASEE and AIChE annual conferences[1-3], plus a few journal articles[4-6

Data science is an emerging field that encompasses a large array of topics includingdata collection, data preprocessing, data visualization, and data analysis using statistical andmachine learning methods. As undergraduates enter the workforce in the future, they will need to“benefit from a fundamental awareness of and competence in data science”[9].

pre-college engineering education contexts, detailed explorations of student discourse andteacher moves have begun to emerge. For example, recent studies have shown how particularteacher questions prompt student reasoning during particular phases of the engineering designprocess (Capobianco, deLisi, & Radloff, 2018) and how a teacher’s valuing of heterogeneousideas sets the stage for students to take epistemic agency in engineering (Carlone, Mercier, &Metzger, 2021). However, important questions remain about how to structure asset-basedengineering design conversations in K-8 school classrooms. For example, during whole-classdiscussion, what prompts can teachers use to elicit a diverse set of student ideas about how adesign problem

University of South Alabama(USA) began, in Fall 1993, an evaluation of the undergraduate program to meet the challenge ofengineering education for the 21st Century. Restructuring of the mechanical engineering curriculum atUSA is also prompted by the changing ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology)requirements for design. Under the current criteria, design is defined as "an experience that must grow withthe student's development," and "the design experience is developed and integrated throughout thecurriculum"1. In addition to the development of student creativity, formulation of design problemstatements and specifications, consideration of alternative solutions, and feasibility considerations, ABETsuggests that design should also
