curriculums. We contend that thecontext of engineering and technology can enhance the way science is taught in the K-12curriculum and can not only bring relevance and interest for the students but can also promotetechnical and scientific literacy. It is at this junction that this research project was born.Methodology This investigation is part 2 of a multi-series project to understanding how public schoolsare training students to become technically literate. In part 1 presented at the 2005 ASEEConference, we presented a paper titled, Engineering Frameworks for a High School Setting:Guidelines for Technical Literacy for High School Students. [5] In this document, we definedtechnical literacy to be “the ability of an individual to make informed

The data was collected acrossmultiple colleges in various STEM disciplines, providing a robust cross-disciplinary perspective.Additionally, the paper discusses the influence of ethnic and cultural background, learning styles,technical talent, and other contributing factors to student success when utilizing LLMs.IntroductionAdvances in technology have introduced a range of new learning methods, with AI-basedplatforms gaining increasing attention in education; and while peer-based learning and internet-based learning are also popular among students seeking flexible, interactive ways to enhancetheir
crucial for success in entry-level roles. Based on this, the pedagogy wasrevised to simulate an industrial job environment and incorporate problem-based and project-based learning [5]. This approach aims to train students in both technical skills and soft skills,which are equally important for career advancement. Some of these changes have beenimplemented for the current cohort, and some are still in the process of being implemented forfuture students.In this paper, the author aims to convey students' opinions and perspectives regarding theapprenticeship program, which is a key factor in a successful program. Most apprentices areyoung adults, and for many, this is their first professional job, and so they require significantsupport to succeed in

keydistinction of the AC2 SRP is also the great focus on being able to explain academic research tolay people. The students learn to switch gears from a technical presentation to a lay presentationwithout losing the key points of their research and are required to present to a mixed audience offaculty, staff, family, and friends at the AC2 Research Symposium at the end of each SRP.The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how the SRP was leveraged to provide underrepresentedstudents in STEM an intensive and immersive research experience over a mere five-week period.We present two recent examples where in each case three mechanical engineering undergraduatestudents with different technical maturity levels worked together to study the
curriculum and faculty participation in the student organizationactivities provides strong technical background to support the activities of the club, whereas thestudent organization broadens the pool of students who are able to participate in naval scienceand technology, expanding the reach of the program. Despite that the students at the Universityof Iowa are predominantly from midwestern states, and come to the university with limitedexperience in naval systems, there is a high level of interest in naval science & technologychallenges, which translates to moderate degrees of interest in careers in support of the Navy,and in the curricular program. This suggests that small programs such as the one described inthis paper have the potential to
e.g.economic courses at technical universities or vice versa. Also at TU Delft, this was the case.However, in 2004 the department of maritime transport at TU Delft and the department oftransport and regional economics at the University of Antwerp decided to join forces and todevelop a new approach: the maritime business game. This maritime business game is used atboth universities, which was a novel approach in 2004.Other maritime education levels, such as officers training, have already for decades used gamesin maritime education, primarily in the form of simulators [7-9]. Though also in these studies, asfar as the authors are aware, there are no games used to teach the related disciplines.This paper will discuss the development of a serious game for
