Given our focus on inquiry during the summerinstitute we were interested in determining how the teachers were implementing inquiry-basedinstruction and what structure the inquiry took in their lessons, and the associated applications of21st century skills, in particular collaboration. To answer this question we conducted classroomobservations of all 38 summer institute participants teaching STEM lessons using the Page 15.1176.2manipulatives. Our project is unique with respect to the extent of our data collection: 38 K-5teachers teaching STEM lessons. The extent of our research allowed us to report bothquantitative and

coverage of these important broader considerations, andthus to provide opportunities for broader ways of thinking in engineering education. Commonapproaches to teaching engineering design incorporate some of these ways through project-basedlearning, which finds instantiation in senior capstone design projects [6, 7], first-year cornerstonedesign projects [7], and service learning [7, 8]. Closely related, the Aalborg problem-based learning(PBL) model also focuses on contextualizing learning and problem-solving [9]. Litzinger et al.’s[10] discussion of expertise and engineering education emphasizes the importance of the “context-rich, multifaceted problems” commonly embedded in all of these approaches.Empirical research on engineering design

The project seeks to elucidate theimpediments that underrepresented students, particularly women, face in pursuing graduateengineering degrees and the potential solutions to overcome those barriers.Our methodology in this phase encompassed a comprehensive mixed-method survey, garneringresponses from over 600 undergraduate and graduate engineering students within the Faculty ofEngineering. Preliminary analyses revealed that the decision to pursue graduate studies isinfluenced by intersectional identity variables.In the sphere of engineering education, the pursuit of diversity, inclusion, and equity has longbeen recognized as

Efforts to improve the curricula and practices of engineering education include morecollaborative and socially based pedagogies (e.g., design thinking, problem-based learning, andcooperative learning), as well as more experiences based in the workplace, e.g., ABET’sprofessional skills and the attributes of the Engineer of 20204, 5, 6.These efforts haverecommended significant revisions to engineering curricula by expanding the content ofengineering from its traditional focus on the application of math and science to broader, sociallyand design-based curricula.

Scale Integration Int Integrated1.0 IntroductionFuture aerospace advancement in the United States depends on the education of the nextgeneration. But there are warning signs that this foundation is diminishing. In the Final Report ofthe Commission on the Future of the United States Aerospace Industry (2002) [1], urgent attentionwas given to a decline in the number of new engineers and scientists entering the aerospaceworkforce. The commission described how the quality of life has been improved through the priorinnovations in aerospace engineering, giving examples such as aerial application of chemicals foragriculture, remote sensing systems, weather and climate investigations, and air vehicle design.

Thinking in Engineering EducationAbstractThis research paper provides a case study of a large Engineering Science program, with aparticular focus on perceptions and practices related to first principles thinking from alumni,faculty and students. As part of a broader project designed to realign program goals, practicesand outcomes, this study included semi-structured interviews and focus groups, designed tounderstand how program stakeholders conceptualize first principles thinking, and how theyperceive the benefits or utility of such an approach.Through the historical analysis of the engineering curriculum, a key tension identified is thefocus on foundational mathematics and science, which is contrasted with a focus on professionalpractice and the

implementing a learning strategy for the first time. These include the perceived value ofthe strategy, the expectation for success, and the perceived cost [17]. Specifically, when it comesto the expectation for success, Abrami et. al. showed that faculty who had some level of teachingself-efficacy were more likely to implement a new learning strategy in some way [17].Furthermore, Lee showed that faculty are significantly more motivated to embrace a new learningstrategy when they have strong instructional support from their universities [18]. Nicolle et. al.validated these findings and indicated that along with institutional support, peer-support is asignificant motivator for faculty [20].One study noted that faculty values and beliefs about teaching
