In grades K-10, students must be interested in and informed aboutengineering, including the coursework that will be helpful for them to take in high school. In grades11 and 12

In addition, there needs to be a discussion on the extent to which theconceptual framework of professional development and its assessment needs to be constructedexternally (I.e., through a positivist lens) or varyingly by the participating individuals (I.e.,through an interpretivist lens). The engineering education community may therefore want tofurther explore the role of professional development training that transcends beyond graduationby considering how both curricular and co-curricular structures in engineering education can bemodified for learning based on students’ constraints, learning styles and needs.AcknowledgmentsWe would like to acknowledge the associate dean

Necessity of Canon 8 LanguageThe authors of Canon 8 developed and presented case studies to the ASCE board to illustrate theway the language of the canon and its specific guiding principles shape its application. Theopening paragraph of Canon 8 specifies the dimensions of identity under the purview of themandate. Furthermore, the three guiding principles (e.g. A-C) operationalize the way Canon 8can be applied. One case study presented below, illustrated the way guiding principle "C" isoperationalized through the experience of an ASCE member whose disability was overlooked inthe design of a parking lot.

It reports findings of anexploratory study that investigates avenues through which traditional facultyresponsibilities (i.e., teaching, research, and service) within STEM occur via social media(e.g., Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn) along with ways that URM faculty researchersare branding themselves across a variety of social media platforms.

Because this particular library has been closedfor renovations, staff have been asked to assist the circulation desks of other campus libraries(highlighting that staffing shortages plague the entire library system). One of the main challenges of hiring more librarians is that staffing is often beyond theindividual library’s control. Positions need to be justified

Self- Contained, Shippable Outreach Experiments for Online Implementation in K-12 ClassroomsAbstractDue to COVID-19, more students are transitioning to online classrooms. This poses a problemfor STEM educators as students are limited in their ability to learn about the scientific process orscientific thinking through hands-on experimentation. Additionally, outreach programs that aredesigned to increase interest and participation in STEM face a challenge of not being able toenter the physical classroom for activities. To address these needs, a program was developed tocreate self-contained experimental kits that could be shipped to students’ homes. This allowsstudents to gain the same outreach experience that

Based on an initial sample of papers (n = 36) a rubric was developed toidentify authenticity and authentic experiences in engineering education. Using the developedrubric, a total pool of 1,058 references was evaluated using the rubric with 88% to 100% inter-rater reliability for each category of authenticity. A frequency analysis of references revealed thatthe majority of work is seen in undergraduate education, and only 14 instances of authenticity inengineering education appeared at the K-12 level. The model of authenticity includes
