After coding all the data and identifying the seven themes, we selectedquotes as exemplars for each theme and each subcode within the themes. In considering thethemes that emerged, two aligned with a recent framework presented for how to promotecuriosity in education contexts, the Curiosity in Classrooms (CiC) framework [2]. The CiCframework describes how curiosity can be promoted both by promoting students becomingcurious, which aligned with our code of “causes of curiosity” and by supporting students’responses to uncertainty or curiosity (i.e., information seeking
International Challenge Project1 Introduction1.1 Purpose & MotivationThis paper describes how an education abroad program was connected to an international designcompetition organized by Engineers Without Borders (EWB) to educate students in issuesregarding engineering for international development, working with the not-for-profit sector, andexperiencing international travel for service learning. Engineering is in a unique position toaddress present and future challenges in the face of climate and biodiversity emergencies as weprogress toward the 2030 deadline to reach UN Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs(Figure 1) [1]. Addressing these challenges requires recognizing the role and responsibility of theengineering profession in relation to
role of passive spectators.(1)This method, however, continues to be the mostdominant teaching method in engineering institutions and widely used in most classes.To improve the relevancy of engineering education, we believe that teaching, or morefundamentally, student learning needs to be emphasized. Learning, as defined today, is morethan the acquisition of knowledge. Bloom (2) has defined five increasing levels of learning orcomprehension. Starting with fact-based knowledge, and followed by: comprehension (usingfactual information and explaining facts), application (applying facts to solve problems,analyzing concept structures), synthesis (creating something new by using different components),and evaluation (exercising judgments and comparing

The courses are designed to support learners inidentifying common data structures and sources, using information technology and relevantprogramming environments to convey and retrieve information, and identifying processes andmechanisms commonly used to retrieve, assess, re-engineer, manipulate, and visualize data. Thediverse backgrounds of the learners make this an interesting challenge for curriculum designers.How can a professional master’s degree successfully introduce foundational computer scienceconcepts for adult learners from diverse

Even in January 2021, oneyear into the pandemic, over half of the world’s enrolled learners are still experiencingsignificant disruptions to their education [20].Asgari et al. conducted a COVID-19 College of Engineering student survey at California StateUniversity Long Beach to learn more about the effects of engineering online education. Theyfound that only 24% of the students found the overall online instruction experience to besatisfying. Some of the common concerns including difficulty maintaining focus throughmultiple Zoom courses, social disconnection from fellow students, lack of engagement in onlineclasses, and technical difficulty with the technology [21].In Spring 2020, many students in
interviews, we are attempting to identify the “critical features” offailure that engineering students are aware of and how it relates to their pre-failure experiencesand post-failure responses. Another way of conceptualizing the purpose of phenomenography is“to describe variation in experiences in a way that is useful and meaningful, providing insightinto what would be required for individuals to move from less powerful to more powerful waysof understanding a phenomenon” (Bowden, 2005, p. 72).Participants:We are choosing to focus on engineering students who started technology-based companieseither during or immediately after college and whose endeavors ceased operation without eitherselling the venture or achieving a traditional “exit” event.

frameworkI. Introduction Recently, problems with organizations, structures, and society that have a hugetechnological component alert us to the fact that there is a growing gap between thenature of our problems, our ability to solve these and understand their consequences inthe future. It is also a truism that the world has evolved from a simple setting to a verycomplex socio-technical system of systems and information networks. Cascade effects ofour problems are increasing faster than we can handle and it is time for us to develop newstrategies and methods to resolve these issues. Engineering education has since tried to cope with this change by addressingcomplexity with specialization. More and more humans, and therefore engineers

However, minority students continue to be less likely to complete degrees inengineering and the physical sciences when compared to White students3. Considering thegrowing minority population in the U.S., this trend is fast becoming a major issue for theengineering workforce as well as higher education institutions and programs committed

This instructional model shifts the paradigm from the traditional single-instructorcourse to a multi-designer model with multiple instructors6–8.

) [3] has been theprimary platform used to enact PBL pedagogies for some time. SDR as a technology emerged inthe defense industry motivated by a need to concurrently support the myriad of existing radiostandards. To do so, SDR implements as much signal processing as possible in easilyreconfigurable software running on general purpose processors (GPP) rather than fixed-functionhardware. This not only has the benefit of allowing a single platform to support multiple radioformats, but also drastically reduces design, development, and verification times as softwaredevelopment is generally easier than hardware design. This flexible architecture was recognizedearly on as a powerful tool for education [4], making it feasible for students to implement

Given the historical and persistent underrepresentation of minority groups in theengineering workforce, our work presents a timely effort to understand better and include thecareer attitudes of the emerging engineering workforce. We investigate how the concept of anengineering career is shaped for minority engineering students from a Hispanic-servinginstitution to further understanding on how career opportunities in government-funded labs areperceived by a group of Black and Latinx engineering student researchers experiencing the jobsearch and post-graduation planning process.
