Our implementation demonstrates how these complementaryapproaches enhance educational outcomes: students benefit from personalized learning pathwaysand clear prerequisite relationships, while instructors gain tools for curriculum optimization andadaptation to emerging technologies. Through representative use cases, we show how thesedistinct approaches provide robust frameworks that balance precise, logical reasoning withflexible natural language understanding, ultimately advancing aerospace engineering educationby serving both student and instructor

This paper draws on social capital theory as an anti-deficitapproach to guide the development of educational systems that support historically excludedstudents leveraging, developing, and utilizing relationships. The 16 participants in this studywere in a four-year-long cohort and took part in focus groups at the end of each semester.

Since Open-Mindedness refers to receptivity to new ideas and differentpossibilities, it makes sense that it correlates with Clout as it pertains to social status, confidence,and leadership. Open-Mindedness is vital to engineering because it signifies the drive totranscend one’s own assumptions, challenge the status quo with scientific inquiry, and generateinnovations that will expand disciplinary boundaries. Furthermore, Open-Mindedness isincreasingly important for a globalized world that relies on information technology and co-creation on various STEM initiatives [32].

To that end, formal interviews with practicing professionals and college studentsfrom a range of disciplines will be used as a primary data collection tool. This paper willprovide a synthesis of the empirical data collected through these formal interviews.Factors that emerge from this synthesis as having a significant influence on one’sperception of STEM as a career choice will be further examined and discussed.

Positive mentoring experiences are crucial for retaining andadvancing those who hold marginalized identities in STEM as it contributes to their persistence intheir field in a variety of ways. Researchers have emphasized the mutual benefits when graduatestudents can connect with mentors who share their values and lived experiences; however, thesevere underrepresentation of women contributes to the often-disproportionate burden ofmentorship placed on women faculty and faculty with other marginalized identities. Therefore, the intended aim of this work is to inform more inclusive mentoring strategies,expanding access to mentorship in engineering that is responsive to women’s needs. This

engineering graduates will be expected to contribute towards both traditional and emerging technologies, and hence it is imperative that our undergraduate students, the future engineers, have design skills that transcend a basic understanding of fundamental concepts. Dym 9 states that “effective inquiry in design thinking includes both a convergent component of building up to asking deep reasoning questions by systematically asking lower-level, convergent questions, and a divergent component in which generative design questions are asked to create the concepts on which the convergent component can act”.

. This is particularly notable in transdisciplinary startups such as smartenergy and nanomedical technologies, where cross-disciplinary expertise is increasingly vital. Asa result, emerging entrepreneurs in these sectors often encounter challenges in accessingadequate support. These challenges persist in the 21st century, when U.S. innovation facesunprecedented competition for leadership. In 1960, U.S. research and development (R&D)spending for defense and private industries constituted approximately 69% of the global total(CRS, 2018). However, by 2016, the U.S. share of global R&D spending had dwindled to just28%, largely due to China's remarkable technological advancements. If this trajectory continues,China's R&D spending as a

Those assumptions revolve around the substitutability of products, many buyers andsellers, no barriers to entry or exit into the market, and perfect information among transactingparties. In theory, these markets enable efficient allocation of resources among buyers andsellers. At the abstract level, efficiency can entail efficiently producing goods with a given set ofresources or alternatively it can correspond to efficient allocation/distribution of those goods [19,p. 31].
