approach, inspired by leading innovative programs suchas the "Ultimate Innovation" program at the University of Tabuk [1]. The proposedtransdisciplinary program is designed to merge technical proficiency with entrepreneurial andmanagement insight, preparing students to lead in the modern engineering landscape.objective The approach aims to enhance the efficiency of graduation projects in colleges for bothmale and female students by strengthening the relationships between colleges, research centersand chairs, developmental sectors, and companies. This goal is to ensure sustainability and fosteran environment of excellence and innovation. The proposed approach draws insights fromvarious studies, such as the integration of different

While at the receiving school, I co-taught a freshman engineering design course,engaged in curriculum modifications, and participated in institutional meetings and activities. Toaccomplish the REEFE program objective to support progress to graduation, I submitted an IRBapplication to conduct a research project as the principal investigator to inform the study designof my dissertation proposal.ResultsIn this section, I use the categories described by Baxter Magolda’s [5] journey to self-authorshipas a guideline to define my identity development characterized by key findings from myanalysis.

By engaging in authentic problem-solving experiences, students develop adeeper understanding of the subject matter and improve their ability to transfer knowledge toreal-world situations [2,3].1.2.2 Problem Based Learning The benefits of problem-based learning in engineering education have been shown byseveral research studies with one study finding fourteen (14) studies on PBL in STEM [4].Compared to traditional instruction methods, students in course with PBL show much greaterproblem-solving and improved abilities in critical thinking [5]. Working in teams collaborativelyis a fundamental skill for engineers in industry. PBL has been

Under goal (3), 100% of the scholars had engineering workforce jobs or graduate schoolacceptances at the time of graduation. To date, 8 scholars have graduated (all have done so infour years): 1 entered a fully-funded PhD program at UDelaware; 7 are employed as engineers;all had jobs before or just after graduation. This is a 100% placement rate of scholars into theengineering workforce or graduate school.

structural barriers resulting in inequitableoutcomes such as decreased persistence into the engineering profession, lower academicachievement, and lower six-year graduation rates (Bowen, Johnson, & Powell, 2020).In this paper we look specifically at students in aerospace engineering. There is little priorresearch that looks at the relationship between student demographics (such as race/ethnicity,gender, first-generation status, and SES) and student outcomes in this particular discipline. Twoof the studies that have investigated this are Orr et al.

Only afew studies are available that explicitly investigated the roles of STEM institutions in providinginformation, activating, and brokering discussions, and decisions around scientific issues whilebeing cognizant of political influences 8. This research will contribute to STEM scholarship by exploring the impact of learners’cultural and political identities on STEM education effectiveness and how to develop moreeffective STEM education activities accordingly.

computational training are recommended or required by their research advisorsor degree programs to take the time-intensive versions of the introductory undergraduate coursesor comprehensive graduate courses, which are often not tailored to the practical computationalskills that they need to engage in advanced mathematical and computational modeling in arelatively short time frame. By accelerating the training time to develop competency inimplementing modern best practices, students are enabled to be productive at usingcomputational tools for research early in their graduate studies, ideally allowing them to satisfytime-sensitive demands for generating research results.Several chemical engineering educators have developed course materials, books, and
cited at the graduate level, particularly the PhD. Most commonly, a PhD degree inengineering focuses on advancing theory and applying findings to a practical problem (Barbieri,Vaidyanathan, & Peterson, 2012). Scholars also suggest that design at the PhD level must bebroader than traditional engineering disciplines, incorporating more history, philosophy, ethics,cultural studies, and politics (Meyer & Norman, 2020). Research is a fundamental component of any PhD. With a growing and maturing designresearch discipline, scholars have suggested that the focus of a design PhD can include: researchon design methods and processes, improved understanding of engineering practice, ways toincrease product development performance, and

First, existing studies[9, 10, 12-15] showcase using the photovoice method as an individual/independent learningpractice within undergraduate engineering classrooms. While current photovoice-basedpedagogical interventions in engineering classrooms enable individual reflection, limitedcollaboration, engagement, and application, opportunities for further expansion as a
