engineering and scientificconcepts, increases interaction with faculty and industry sponsors, and provides opportunities forwork in emerging technology areas. Benefits accrue both to students who pursue a researchcareer and to those who enter applied fields by strengthening their ability to propose innovativesolutions. Over the past nine years, we have sought to improve student research in apredominantly teaching institution. The two primary challenges were: (1) academic - how tointroduce and promote inquiry-based learning given the constraints, and (2) business - how toobtain and sustain funding for student-based research. Further complicating the effort was a lackof experience on the part of most students in identifying an appropriate research

both undergraduate and graduate level Mechanical Vibrations and Multimedia Engineering Analysis, and undergraduate level thermodynamics, Measurement Systems, Engineering Mechanics and Introduction to Engineering. One of Professor Orabi's most recent projects involves the development of Learning Modules on the web. These modules provide information, not only about particular course material, but also about more general topics relevant to engineering. He is also working on Computer-Aided Experimentations using LABVIEW. Professor Orabi has received a number of research awards from the State of Connecticut and Untied Technologies.

emergence of new global cultural forms, media, and technologies ofcommunication, the relations of affiliation, identity, and interaction within and acrosslocal cultural settings have been reshaped, which is termed globalization (Burbules &Torres, 2000)[6]. Although globalization in education is highly recognized and upheld byscholars and educators, the target needs of students in global education courses are stillseen as content and language focused. The experiences, beliefs, and cultural expectationsof students from a variety of backgrounds are not yet reflected in the pedagogy andevaluation practices (Pincas, 2001)[27].

, these courses did not necessarily instill in studentsthe process of scientific inquiry, i.e., the ability to pose questions on emerging technologies, the eagernessto seek additional information that extends the class concepts, or the development of intuition thatultimately enables students to connect theory to trendy applications. This paper describes an effort that provides investigative experiences to UG students by exposingthem to appropriately packaged signal processing research results. This effort is structured in terms ofresearch modules that are taken by students across the curriculum. Modules are used in junior-level linearsystems and random signals courses and in senior-level DSP and communications classes. A new senior-level

Nepantla suggests thatindividuals inhabit liminal spaces where conflicts arise, new meanings emerge, and identitiestake shape. Moreover, Nepantla is also the space where individuals gain la facultad – ahigher sense of perception, intuition, and spiritual insight [14]. Drawing from thesetheoretical concepts, I sought to answer the question: how and in what ways do Latino/a/xengineering students use la facultad to navigate dominant discourses as they move throughthe liminal spaces created through their engineering pathways?

; organizers and emerging leaders occupy the ladder's higher rungs.” [15]The pyramid concept takes this a step further. It conveys a relative proportionalitybetween the levels of engagement that reflects the situation faced by ASCE; namely,most of its membership is at lower engagement levels. Therefore, the vertical dimensionof the pyramid represents “the intensity of engagement, with low level, lightweightengagement at the bottom and high intensity, deep engagement at the top.” [20] At thebottom of the engagement pyramid, communications and relationships are technology-centric and more automated; at the top, they are more personal and labor-intensive.[21] Awell-designed engagement pyramid becomes a powerful indicator of the
changing such as the recent transformation of the Journal ofEngineering Education into the premiere journal for engineering education research [8]. Centralto these changes are conversations around envisioning engineering education as a newprofessional discipline [9-11]. These conversations focus on such issues as frameworks for newdisciplinary endeavors [12], guidelines for rigorous research [13], and research agendas [14].One challenge emerging from all these conversations is how to share what we as a communityare learning about the process of conducting engineering education research, ways to make animpact on engineering education, and strategies for successfully navigating an engineeringeducation career.

RPP meetings Themes that emerged from the open coding included: 1) What students and parents defineand characterize as STEM and engineering; 2) the new ways of participation by students andparents, through the EfSC curriculum and parent RPP meetings; 3) the organic ways in whichconcerns about the Astro community informed students’ engineering designs; 4) how the teacherMs. B, students and parents engaged in new ways in engineering for the Astro community. We then engaged in axial coding across the four themes above, guided by the RP framework,to answer the following: (a) Was there evidence of the Rightful Presence tenets during a prominent performance. If so, who, where, when, and how? (b) What are the contributing factors
for engineering skills, but no significant change inidentity as a “maker” or an engineer. These results are interpreted in light of the strengths andlimits of this teaching-as-educational-research project. We propose modifications for an ongoingresearch study to further contextualize and develop these findings.IntroductionAs technology continues to be embedded in many aspects of daily and professional life, studentswould benefit by gaining confidence and agency in their ability to interact with it. A backgroundin circuits and electronics is essential for understanding the modern technological landscape.Tinkering and experimentation are a direct way to learn these topics and are central in thetraditional university engineering curriculum as
and process information. In other words, it is difficult for a digital native toachieve academic success in a classroom that is taught by a digital immigrant. Digital nativesoften tend to need a media- and technology-rich learning environment to hold their attention.Active engagement of the digital learner is necessary to promote learning. In the past decade orso, many STEM educators have found the use of rapid response systems using “clickers” to beparticularly useful32.So what about effective instruction and learning in the age of the millennial? Are the learningstyles of Gen Y really that much different than those of the Baby Boomers or Gen X? Emergingresearch is telling us that the answer to that question is a definitive YES. Jones33

At the time, only afew states had implemented such requirements, and Information Technology & Informationestimated that computer science courses were offered at only one in ten schools nationwide(Armitage, 2015).
