Instead, students were given more opportunities for culturalexcursions planned on their own.DiscussionThe finalists’ data in Table 1 show a significant rise in number in the second year of the IRiKAprogram. This can be attributed to the 2019 cohort’s active contribution to promoting theprogram and successful dissemination of their subsequent achievements. The alumni have wonprestigious scholarships and awards (Goldwater, NSF Graduate Research Fellowship); arepursuing graduate degrees; and have accepted employment offers at leading tech companies.Also notable is the drop in students with research experience.

Global Engineering Competence Pillar 3: Integrating Engineering Knowledge with Essential Business Skills Pillar 4: Building Effective Leaders and CommunicatorsThe second pillar, nurturing global engineering competence, is primarily achieved through arequired international engineering field experience. Global Engineering (EGE 320) was firstoffered in the Spring of 2013 and until the Spring of 2020 had taken every engineering student atthe University to an international destination to work on community-centered engineeringprojects.The four-credit hour Global Engineering course is a combination of lecture, project work, andfield experience. While these three components have always been a part of the class, the ratio oftime spent on each has
collaboration in teams.The students often worked with their teammates in their remote locations, but some teams hadreceived permission to occasionally work in a classroom. The deliverables of the projects include(1) a successful demonstration to the instructor (all happened to be in-person, although a remoteoption was also allowed), (2) a technical report submitted to Moodle, (3) creating a product pagewith photos and videos using a common template provided by the instructor for public viewing(https://yan.wcu.edu/eppvi/), and (4) leaving their projects in the classroom for the exhibitiondays when the students were not present, so that their projects should be in a reliable workingstate, and the only action on their projects was for the instructor to
core areas: (1) Engineering Leadership, (2)Engineering Innovation, and (3) Interdisciplinary Research. The initiative aims to developengineers who are not only technically-competent, but also have strong leadership skills, ethicaland principled, and a creative problem-solver who can contribute to the global community. DeanCammy Abernathy highlights that “The New Engineer is not only technically competent but onewho is capable of leading and innovating in a world that is increasingly global”. Therefore, it isan imperative that Gator Engineers are equipped with the necessary tools to engage on a globalscale.In 2014, HWCOE established the International Engineering Programs to foster an engineeringstudent population that is globally aware and has
survey data collected from 272 students inthe LCOE (88 women, 180 men, and 4 non-binary individuals) and 341 students from theCollege of Health and Human Services (307 women, 31 men, and 3 non-binary individuals) for atotal of 613 respondents [1].The presented study analyzes the responses to the following key survey questions: 1. People of my gender are more, less, or equally suited for this field relative to other genders. 2. It is more, less, or equally difficult for people of all genders to work in the industry related to my major. 3. A gender bias exists towards my gender in my major that is unfavorable, favorable, or no bias. 4. I feel like I belong in my major.Question 1 aims to investigate internalized gender bias
Association of Colleges and Employers [2] ranked problem-solving skills as the secondmost important skill required by employers, with written communication skills being numberone. The top ten required attributes included “ability to work in a team, initiative, and analyticalskills.” For the first time, entrepreneurial skills were reported as a desired attribute by 16.9% ofthe participants.The problem is that engineering students’ exposure to practicing these skills is often limited tosenior capstone courses. Throughout their technical training, engineering students are introducedto problem-solving techniques using closed-ended, well-defined problems with one correctanswer. This pedagogical approach encourages the use of convergent thinking: the use
it enables one to understandthe pain points of the target audience and create products or services that effectively solve thoseproblems. Students were asked to conduct a small market research by either surveying theexisting literature or online resources where industry trends and customer feedback wereavailable. The teams were encouraged to conduct focus groups and ideation sessions inorder todiscuss their market research so as to gather customer insights and understand customer needs.Fig 1. Self-Locking Earring Back. 5Fig 2. Fruit Fly Funnel.Fig 3. Eco-friendly Bottle Opener.After identification of customer needs the team had to develop
teamsaround the remaining concepts.For teamwork session #1, teamswere asked to focus on the rootproblem to be solved, consider andevaluate multiple solutions, andidentify, prioritize, and assign tasksfor the weekend. For teamwork session #2, teams were introduced to the Business Model Canvas[6] and encouraged to consider each of its main elements in their work. For teamwork session #3,teams were strongly encouraged to follow Guy Kawasaki’s 10-20-30 Rule for venture capitalpresentations [19] (10 slides, no more than 20 minutes, and no less than 30 point fonts) and topractice their presentation at least twice before pitching to the coaches.4.

/ sustainable design and manufacturing. He also has a growing interest in engineering education, especially with regards to sustainability and entrepreneurial innovation in the curriculum.David Tomczyk, Quinnipiac University ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 Changes in Affective Capacities of CAD Students Engaged in an Engineering Design ProjectAbstractSuccess in open-ended design activities requires a desire to succeed and a belief in one’s abilityto succeed when faced with ambiguously defined problems. Engineering design courses ideallydevelop these affective capacities as well as technical skills. Multiple approaches to enhancingthem in a design course exist, and this
approachto design (appeared in 16 reflections). This theme is important to note because the inclusion of astakeholder or customer is the key element that differentiates entrepreneurially minded learningfrom project-based learning [3] and customer awareness is an important attribute of anentrepreneurially minded engineer [14]. The excerpts below show examples of how studentsrecognized the importance of focusing on the customer when designing solutions: “Specifically, I learned to identify the three clients: the decision-maker, the payer, and the end- user. I then learned how to formulate a problem statement that addresses client needs. Most of my previous experience was focused on technical skills, so learning to design for a client

This paper presents a qualitative analysis of the student blogs using ahybrid deductive and inductive thematic analysis approach. Another goal with the analysis of theseblog posts is to improve this program for future students and to share ‘best practices’ with directorsof other domestic and international research programs.MethodsStudent Participants & Program

In Section 3, we first present the results of focus groupsconducted with students from a variety of backgrounds and experiences such as transfer students,female-identifying students, URM women, URM men, international students, and students whohave either switched out of an engineering program or have a GPA that put them at risk to notcomplete an engineering degree. The focus groups confirmed the results of the survey: studentsfrom marginalized groups experience bias and microaggressions from other students and faculty.Combining past analysis and the new focus group results, we identified two
