opportunities to make informed decisions and extend their network [15].Engineering studentsWomen enroll at different rates in engineering programs. Programs such as Construction,Management Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, AerospaceEngineering, and Information Technology, are less popular programs among women [2].Authors in [16] noted how women were able to find a solution to a problem considering thesituations and the context — aspects that were less evident for men. This is one of the mainreasons why the role of women in engineering is key to addressing contemporary complexproblems. In STEM, research mentors play a vital role in students developing a strongerscientific identity with mentors who share demographics or values
-Envision Multi- Disciplinary Educational Experiences for Engineering StudentsAbstractAccredited engineering programs need to show that their students learn how to effectively“function on multi-disciplinary teams.” This skill is important not only for accreditation butalso to employers and to educators themselves, who understand the changing world ofengineering work. In the summer of 2005, the College of Engineering at Montana StateUniversity embarked on a study of multi-disciplinary engineering education within thecollege. This study followed the engineering design process. After an information-gatheringstage, an ad-hoc cross-disciplinary team of faculty developed and refined multi-disciplinarylearning objectives, criteria for evaluating

Additionally, when students are asked to write short-answer responses to explain their reasoning to concept questions, it has been observed toimprove student performance, engagement, and prepare students for group discussion [15], [16].These responses provide instructors and researchers with a wealth of information regardingstudent thinking [17]. Still, often, it is difficult for instructors and researchers to process all ofthis written information. Machine learning researchers have applied natural language processing(NLP) and large language models (LLMs) to automate the grading and scoring of textualresponses from
ProfessionalsAbstractA diverse and highly skilled engineering workforce is needed to address today’s grandchallenges involving sustainability, medicine, information technology, and learning. To growsuch a workforce, research is needed to better grasp the decision-making of early careerengineers as they seek their first post-undergraduate job. To aide in understanding this process,we first sought to understand the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) that career serviceprofessionals believe are critical for students to develop. Accordingly, we analyzed semi-structured qualitative interviews with career service professionals at two universities to answerthe research questions: What knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) do career serviceprofessionals perceive
besides their technical proficiency, enabling them to work effectively withcutting-edge systems such as robotics, IoT, and AI-driven platforms.Amidst many digital technologies, immersive XR systems, from virtual reality (VR) toaugmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR), have emerged as training and educational toolsfor manufacturing training campaigns [13]–[15]. XR systems offer unique advantages formanufacturing training, such as simulating high-risk environments and providing interactivetraining modules [16]–[18]. However, these systems also present challenges related to userexperience (UX), including motion sickness, user adaptability to virtual interfaces and controls,network synchronization, and hardware limitations [19]–[21]. Such issues

Of these students, most (87%) found benefit in participating in these groups, and amajority of the students (72%) felt that they benefitted in ways related to operating within thegroup as an integral part of the team.

novice to more informed or experienced designers, these studies ofstudents’ perceptions of their design process allow researchers and practitioners to supplementexisting knowledge of observable behaviors with rich, sometimes visual, descriptions ofstudents’ mental models of engineering design and the related design activities. For example,Atman and colleagues’ exploration of students’ use of engineering design language8 highlightshow students have not ‘fully internalized the language [of design]’ (p. 323). Without thislanguage, it becomes more difficult for students to employ their design knowledge in a newcontext or for a new design problem.

Taking astudent-centered approach, our review has suggested a number of practical implications for highschool students and undergraduate students who desire to pursue engineering as a pathway.Keywords: Engineering pathways, life stages, contextual factors, individual factorsIntroductionEngineering disciplines and careers have been continuously shifting over the past decades. Withthe recent emphasis on “STEM” (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math), a myriad ofopportunities have emerged for students to navigate into engineering degrees and subsequentlyinto engineering careers. Career development is an important domain of engineering students’professional

This provides anexcellent way for students to comprehend the importance of, and approaches for, DFX. Manyother lessons about aircraft design can be extracted from these case studies.

: Designing Program Educational ObjectivesAbstractIndustrial Engineering programs prepare graduates for a wide range of jobs in a wide range ofindustries. Having faculty members choose a focus for a program, design a new program, orredesign an existing Industrial Engineering program can be contentious. This paper presents amethod, using descriptions of real jobs, to help faculty members talk about the types of jobs forwhich the program is preparing graduates and to talk about how well the program is preparinggraduates for those jobs. The method allows agreements and disagreements to emerge andprovides a way to talk about them. This method has obvious applications in designing programeducational objectives and in reviewing and updating program
