J Ledlie Klosky, USMA and Stephen Ressler, USMAIntroductionAs the world continues to flatten (Friedman, 2005), student demand for significant overseasexperiences has intensified. This demand is seen broadly across the nation, but at the UnitedStates Military Academy (USMA), it has manifested in the Dean’s goal of getting 15% of allstudents at USMA to spend a semester studying abroad. This translates to roughly 150 studentseach year—all of whom study in countries corresponding to the seven foreign languages(Chinese, Russian, Arabic, French, Spanish, German, and Portuguese) taught at USMA. A quicksearch of almost any university’s website, large or small, reveals that similar drives towards abroad, internationally-informed education for all
outset, PEPS organizers at HMC and the HMC administration made a conscious effortto establish clearly defined goals for the program. In addition to simple good management, thiswas a reflection of a heightened awareness of the importance of assessment in engineeringeducation and in sponsored programs. The general goals for PEPS were to:· Increase teacher skills/tools· Increase learning opportunities and skills for students· Improve quality of science, math and technology (SMT) education environment· Achieve benefits directly for Harvey Mudd College.Each of these general goals was expanded into specific objectives. In the area of increased orimproved teacher skills, the objectives were to:· Improve quality of SMT courses in secondary

(NLP) technologies, through the use of artificialintelligence (AI) agents and Large Language Models (LLM), have already provided significantadvantages in the holistic assessment of high-order features such as argumentation, use ofevidence or scientific thinking [4-6]. With the evolution of Automated Feedback Systems (AFS)[7-9] and, more recently, the release of Open AI’s ChatGPT, LLMs have become commonplacein higher education among students and instructors [10, 11]. The emergence of LLMs in higherand secondary education has triggered an influx of publications on the opportunities andchallenges of incorporating these technologies in instruction and evaluation [10, 12, 13].However, the unique nature of engineering design problems, characterized

history, emerging 100s of years before the term “gamification”[8]. As a term, “gamification” implies the deliberate development of games for learningpurposes and has been a discipline since the 1980s [9]. Gamification has since found use inaiding education, allowing educators to improve student motivation, engagement, and ability totake in information [4]. Gamification functions by giving students rewards for goodperformance, competition, and concrete goals outside of grades [4].Gamification has been utilized in various portions of the educational, economic and servicesectors. One well known example is cyber security training for businesses and government whichhas leveraged game-based learning to both enable role-plying in events and explain

particular conclusions substantially different than thoseaccepted today by the broad secular consensus. I’ll assert that the foundation of thatconsensus is much stronger when built upon biblically informed presuppositions. Hence,the Christian will hopefully see our ethical responsibilities as more compelling whenviewed through this particular lens; with such an integrated view, any ethicalresponsibility necessarily becomes a moral, spiritual duty as well. Many more will not share my presuppositions. Why should they care whetherChristians, or any other, integrate their vocational ethic with the balance of theirworldview? The secular proponent may not find the biblical foundation appealing orcompelling, but given their pragmatism, how can they

From the recent developments in COVID-19 rapid diagnostic tests [2] to the promiseof new technology emerging from the CHIPS and Science Act [3], nanotechnology is poised tocontinue playing a critical role in our lives. However, when it comes to training the workforce ofthe future to solve these global challenges, most universities are not providing makerspace andentrepreneurial experiences in nanotechnology. The typical makerspace has tools such as 3Dprinters, laser cutters, and soldering irons [1] while a nanotechnology makerspace
troubleshooting in engineering whereby design performanceis analyzed to allow for informed improvement. Specifically, diagnostic troubleshooting involvesobserving design behaviors, including failures, most often during testing; identifying designaspects or behaviors that failed; providing explanations for those failures; and then remedyingthe design. The explanations that follow observations and inform subsequent action may bescientific in nature or may have to with other aspects of the technologies that affect performance(e.g., material properties, dimensions); explanations depend on the nature of the design task.Thus, diagnostic troubleshooting may involve not only deeper learning about the design itself butalso about underlying scientific or other

toseveral potential explanations for why individuals decide to mentor, including self-enhancement[5], [6] or the fulfillment of personal values [7], [8] such as altruism [9]. Self-efficacy andconfidence also have been related to whether mentors persisted in their relationships [10].Furthermore, mentoring also has been described as having improved mentors' personal (e.g.,organization) and leadership skills [11]. However, this research is limited and often specific toparticular mentoring programs.We know relatively little about why people decide to mentor in the context of science,technology, engineering, and math (STEM) learning specifically.
