12.1247.2IntroductionDue to changing expectations many universities have moved toward establishing research andtechnology transfer centers that directly work with regional industry to help them to adoptadvanced and innovative technologies. These centers that are owned and operated by theuniversity, like teaching hospitals that are operated by medical schools, provide greatopportunities for advancing engineering education as teaching hospitals help in educating ofmedical students. Consequently, it is no surprise that some colleges of engineering have takenadvantage of these centers in a variety of ways. Several colleges have established internalinternship programs through which engineering students are hired as part-time interns and workas engineers on projects
it's beneficial if you do have that space, a STEAM lab, to be able to help you with the engineering process and concepts, but it kind of goes back to more of that problem and solution, and giving the students materials, giving them what the problem is and letting them try to explore the solution is the engineering…having the students have the freedom to do that ... and that’s where the science and math come into play.” “I also think that our outdoor spaces are going to become more integral to our STEAM education…I think it [STEAM Lab] has a place, but I just don't want it to be the destination.”In summary, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted STE teaching and learning, both directly andindirectly.

CURRENT STATUS OF ENGINEEERING EDUCATION AND ASEE Ronald E. Barr rbarr@mail.utexas.edu Mechanical Engineering Department The University of Texas Austin, Texas 78712 Abstract: Many faculty believe that engineering education in America is at a crossroads and much change is needed. International competition in engineering and the global economy have major potential impact on the engineering workforce of the future. We must find ways to educate U.S. engineers to be competitive and creative contributors in the
to the passive student’s mind [2, 6]. Known as the “banking method” of teaching [7],The belief that teachers hold the facts, and it is their job to deposit them in the minds of students stripsstudents of the knowledge they bring with them to the classroom and separates their lived experiencesfrom the content they are learning [8].With engineering education heavily influenced by the engineering community, these ineffective teachingmethodologies persist because many professors believe that “I learned this way and now I am a successfulengineer, so it must work” [9]. This results in engineering educational experiences that concentrate toonarrowly on content and discount broader personal development [10].Calls to reform the way we teach

This is a prime demonstration of the differences between studentswith permanent engineer identities and transitional engineer identities.Ned, an international student from China, also experienced difficulty after switching majors tostudy in the U.S., and also fits within the transitional identity category. His transfer required himto ‘start over’ in many ways, invalidating his previous engineering identity as established by hisacademic and professional accomplishments. In his own words: “I transferred my major so I'm a baby in my field now [laughing]. I think in the future I can make some achievements. Now I have no published paper in my project, in my field….
