tools with their teachingThe workshop offered multiple sessions to train the participating high school teachers aboututilizing modern pedagogical tools to enrich their teaching. High school teachers gained hands-on experience with the software tools at the workshop. In the follow-up activities of theworkshop, university students will visit high schools to help implement these tools in theclassrooms and labs.Objective 3: Acquaint the high school teachers with the cutting-edge computing technologiesAs one of the fastest-growing fields, computing is changing every day. Meanwhile, computingis becoming an inevitable component of virtually all the science/engineering disciplines. Thisworkshop exposed the participants to exciting examples of computing
©American Society for Engineering Education, 2024 Envisioning and Realizing a State-wide Data Science EcosystemAbstractThis paper describes the vision, strategy, plan, and realization of a state-wide rigorous datascience educational ecosystem. The need for developing data science degree programs andeducation has been well-established and, in our state, a blue-ribbon panel with industry,academic, and government representatives defined the needs of the state. Additionally, a well-established “think and do tank” published several reports on the importance of data scienceeducation and graduates. As we began to develop our programs separately, it occurred to us thatwe were in a small enough state that, if we chose to do so, we could work

. This is because there has been a steadily increasing demand for bright graduates in all areasspecially data science and cyber security. It’s important for graduates to stay up to date with thelatest trends in computer science research, gain hands-on and teamwork experience, and be goodproblem solvers before graduation. In this paper, we will elaborate the steps that should be takenby the institutions of higher education in order to graduate students with this type of quality.IntroductionIt is reasonable to say that “There’s never been a brighter outlook for young computerscience students than today”. Technology has been growing so drastically over the last few years,but higher education institutions do not graduate fast enough to meet the job

Our lessons learned are summarized in a table at the end of the document.Synopsis of the Project and its ContextThe Raise Your Hand exhibit was based at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Georgia Tech isa large, public university in the southern United States with a strong focus on science,technology, engineering, and math (STEM). To support this focus, the university’s strategic planexpresses the value of “infus[ing] STEM disciplines with arts, humanities, and social sciences”[7]. The genesis of this project came from a meeting between the first author and leadership ofthe university’s Ferst Center for the Arts at an online event for a local county digital artsprogram. The first author had been developing a team of students to create
books thatfocused on biological sciences were found to contain significant biases especially related togender. These biases may influence how students feel about careers in science, technology,engineering and mathematics (STEM) areas and therefore may impact future workforces inSTEM fields.IntroductionEngineers and scientist utilize the principles and theories of science and mathematics to design,test, and manufacture products that are important to the future of our nation and the world.1 Thepercentage of college students seeking degrees in math, science and engineering disciplines hasbeen declining for the past two decades. This is in part because fewer potential science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors are completing

In solving a problem, one must recognize the underlying principles at the core of the scenario or problem statement, understand assumptions involved and applied, utilize mathematic skills with known theory and equations, and apply engineering analysis to integrate all aspects for a complete solution. To write an exam problem, similar skills must be exhibited, all while creating material
