Student-Oriented EffortsThe student-oriented aspect of the UNC-Charlotte’s initiatives includes two NSF funded endeavorsfocused on encouraging traditionally underrepresented groups in engineering and engineering technologyto pursue additional education in these fields through a series of interventions at the high school level.This has involved developing and implementing a model that: • Increases the number and diversity of students pursuing traditional four-year studies in the engineering sciences and engineering technology disciplines. • Increases the diversity of technically oriented students at the community colleges and, ultimately, at the university level in a 2+2

, cost, sustainability,and so forth.What’s the role of external actors (clients / stakeholders / customers)?A central component of this course is to put engineers into conversations with normativeperspectives on the impact of their work. There are several ways to do this. The first is simply bypulling together students from engineering and elsewhere. The second is to have the courseteam-taught by colleagues from engineering and beyond. The third is to integrate into the class’lesson plan readings and conversations that tease these issues out. The fourth component,however, is perhaps the most critical: putting students into conversation with the keystakeholders they mean to engage with their work.

Initially,makerspaces were tucked into a corner of the library but as their popularity grew, so didthe need for expanded space to accommodate the added equipment and services. Thecontinued expansion of makerspaces has also generated consideration for theirplanning [12].Getting students interested in STEM can be a challenge and academic libraries look forways to engage their students. 3D printing has been used as an active learningexperience for diverse groups of students [13].

Although students in one PBL software engineering course reported that the projects weremore time intensive than a typical course project, they were receptive to the approach since theythought it was related to the professional environment and provided them with opportunities torelate theory and practice. This contrasted with students taught using a traditional lecture andproject approach to the course who viewed completing a

There is evidence that they still struggle withcareer decisions into their fourth year [5]. To have a positive impact on student motivation andproblem-solving skills, these concerns must also be addressed. The sense of belonging, thefeeling of being technically competent and socially comfortable, the ability of students to asktheir own questions, plan their research, analyze their own findings and communicate their ownknowledge enable a more effective and lasting learning [5, 11].This is why active learning methods can increase student retention rates and engagement inengineering programs [12-14].
