Since then, some scholars have called our attention to how the focus ofwell-intentioned ECD projects on technological fixes and deliverables tend to leave out criticalreflections of engineers’ motivations to be in these projects, and of the processes required tobuild trust and determine communities’ priorities and desires [3][4]. Unfortunately, these calls tocritical reflection in the ECD space are often overshadowed by the continued emergence ofmilestones and challenges (e.g., UN Sustainable Development Goals, NAE

She believes project- based learning holds significant potential for increasing the diversity of students who succeed in college and who persist in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields, and she views her work with the Center as contributing to education reform from the inside out. She holds an M.A. in Developmental Psychology from Clark University and a B.A. in Psychology from Case Western Reserve University. Her background includes working in the field of education evaluation, where she focused primarily on the areas of project-based learning; STEM; pre-literacy and literacy; student life; learning communities; and

How can we utilize an Inquiry-Based Pedagogical Model to encourage future learning and retainment of information? RQ2. How can we incorporate various methods of thought such as systems thinking, engineering design, computational and algorithmic thinking to teach students efficient problem solving and draw the connection between the art of programming with concepts of AI? RQ3. How can we use cloud-based interactive tools to expand student access and equity and serve underrepresented youth to

remote learning.1. IntroductionThe COVID-19 pandemic resulted in educational institutions across the world pivoting quicklyto online learning. Initially, teachers had to adapt to emergency remote teaching and wereoverwhelmed with the additional work required to develop their remote classes [1]. One surveyconducted to evaluate the successes and challenges teachers faced as they moved to virtualinstruction in spring 2020 showed that although teachers transitioned immediately to virtualinstruction, they were not properly trained or given enough time to effectively redesign theirpedagogy. Teachers were inundated with information and resources to help with virtualinstruction and overwhelmed by how quickly they had to transition [2]. Some courses

There is growing interest in project-based learning (PBL), makerspaces and other relativelyopen-ended learning environments that afford many entry points and pathways into and throughengineering. Though often focused on engineering design and digital fabrication, these spacesoften support a range of activities and technologies, from laser cutting and 3D printing, toelectronics and e-textiles, to carpentry, sewing, painting and digital media, and so have thepotential to attract students who may not have yet identified an interest in engineering.Unlike more traditional curriculum, open-ended makerspaces elicit many sticking points andmoments of uncertainty which can serve as rich contexts for conceptual development anddisciplinary practice

accreditedengineering programs require mechanics courses at entry to major. Because mechanics isso centrally situated in the engineer’s intellectual training, it lends itself to the study ofengineers’ thinking, learning, and metacognition.Perhaps because of these characteristics, a great deal of research has been conducted toassess student learning in mechanics and methods of teaching mechanics. Educators inphysics and engineering have developed a clear understanding of misconceptions thatconflict with student learning, and the concept inventory has emerged as a powerful toolto identify these misconceptions. I review several results of the literature onmisconceptions and use of concept inventories. In the course of this review, I raise theissue of whether

Students can then establishrelationships, interpret, assemble, and integrate new information. As a result of this experience,new cognitive structures emerge that allow them to transfer this knowledge to other contexts andface new situations [3].In Kolb's model, the experience becomes the way to connect individuals with learningemotionally, and the active and leading role of the student is established as major curricularguidelines.

Companies in the US must implement these methods to remain competitive.Universities need to integrate PLM methods into their curricula to supply graduates withrelevant skills. Universities will face challenges implementing PLM into their curricula. SincePLM is a rapidly emerging technology, traditional academic materials do not exist.Assessment of the skills gained by students will be difficult since PLM is a designmethodology, not a specific skill. Finally, PLM methods must span the entirecurriculum, not be the subject of discrete classes. WSU is currently developing a testcurriculum with a select group of students.
