encourage English learners to use language and participate intheir classroom community.Our proposed set of affordances of engineering for English learners (ELs) emerged through a setof complementary activities. We began by reviewing research literature. Although to date therehave been no studies of engineering with K-12 English learners, research related to ELs inscience and mathematics as well as studies of ELs more generally informed our thinking [25, 26,27]. We also gathered information from classroom teachers. As part of our work with EiE, wedeveloped curricular resources for elementary engineering that infused principles for high-quality materials for English learners. Our observations of these materials in classrooms withELs and our surveys

This iscurrently being investigated through quantitative and qualitative measures, including theEngineering Design Expectancy Value Scale (EDVES) and focus groups. Additionally, the workwill inform further research regarding this and other community-inspired design projects.Introduction & BackgroundEngineering programs often seek to provide their students with authentic experiences in theirengineering curriculum. Beyond broad calls for authentic experiences (e.g., [1], [2]), theseexperiences have been found to be broadly beneficial to students. In one meta

short (one day or less) fieldtrips as part of K-12 and university classes19-28. However,there is very little quantitative analysis into how a fieldtrip contributes to university studentsuccess.The biggest advantage of the 2014 semester-long version of the class was time. This structureprovided seven weeks of class preparation prior to the fieldtrip and seven weeks after thefieldtrip to review and apply the lessons learned during the trip. The expectation was that the fullsemester of classes would allow us to implement improvements to the existing format. Duringthe first three years of the ECE490DI course, various participants identified the need for more in-depth discussions, especially on the subjects of teamwork, creativity, and leadership

educationinstitutions have an obligation to reform the engineering curricula to prepare engineers capableof advancing society through their engineering practice and outreach.Reframing engineering as a sociotechnical field is one of the reforms suggested and emphasizedby many engineering scholars and activists [4]. In traditional engineering education, the studentsare required to take social sciences and humanities courses to fulfill the requirements for theirengineering degree. However, those courses are typically offered by distinct disciplinarydomains that are separate from the technical engineering programs. This educational modelmakes the students responsible for integrating the social and technical contents on their own [5].In most cases, students fail to
complexity necessitates a comprehensive approach to identifying and addressing potentialimplementation challenges during the early stages of system design. However, theimplementation of complex systems presents a unique set of challenges, requiring carefulnavigation through both technical intricacies and contextual factors. In the short term, systemsengineers often grapple with technical obstacles such as integration issues, scalability concerns,and insufficient data validation [1]. These hurdles can disrupt project timelines and lead tounforeseen costs, particularly when technical risks are underestimated or poorly managed. Long-term challenges are equally significant but often more intricate, involving the need forsustainable maintenance and

Thisprogram is enabling faculty to help the students learn to be creative and innovative.

Assessment and student response will be addressed.One course, entitled “Electronic Design”, introduced students to the creativity and innovationinvolved in patent process. Students were given periodic assignments linking the coursematerial to relevant patents associated with the topic under discussion. A major
a need for institutions to actively consider forming collaborativepartnerships. ABET3 observes: Institutions are cultivating the comprehensive education of their students and others to a degree by establishing partnerships with other schools, often beyond their nation’s borders. These collaborations run a gamut that includes study-abroad programs, student and faculty exchange opportunities, consultations for foreign programs, and even the establishment of satellite campuses in other countries.Globalization in engineering education, Director 18 suggests, could be addressed through, withseveral other steps taken, “university partnerships” that would include cooperative degreeprograms and joint research

Among otherdisconcerting statistics, Norman Augustine, author of “Is America Falling Off the Flat Earth?”2,notes that the percentage of U.S. high school students who express an interest in becoming anengineer or scientist has decreased from 36% to 6% in recent years. While he identified manyfactors contributing to this, one of his two main recommendations was that, “America mustrepair its failing K-12 educational system, particularly in mathematics and science, in part byproviding more teachers qualified to teach those subjects.”2 The Glenn Commission3 drewsimilar conclusions but noted that teacher training is not just a matter of preparation but,“depends just as much—or even more
