expands the construct of interest beyond the cognitive domain andmore clearly differentiates between the means to measure and the evidence accrued via ameasurement.Developing concept inventory assessments is a labor intensive process of first understandingstudents’ alternative conceptions through interviews with students and constructed responses toopen ended items, then turning those into incorrect answers in multiple choice questions [4, 5,45].Compared to the sciences, there are fewer concept inventories available in engineering [51],though many have been developed in the past few years. For instance, concept inventories nowexist for statics [52], thermodynamics [53], thermal and transport science [5], circuits andsystems [54], and other areas

. Despite these efforts, a holistic competencymodel specifically tailored for engineers in Industry 5.0 remains unavailable. The authors [6]hoped to fill this gap through their proposed holistic engineering competency model, following asystematic selection, appraisal, and review of literature. Guided by the Holistic CompetenceModel [14], 30 competencies were identified and grouped into cognitive, functional, social, andmeta-competencies as shown in Figure 1.Figure 1: Engineering Competencies in the Industry 5.0 Era [6]The review affirmed that beyond technical expertise, engineers must develop human-technology,higher-order, interdisciplinary, and adaptive competencies to effectively collaborate with humanand intelligent systems.

work in the K-12 setting promoted a data-driven approach tocombat academic adversity. Huang and Fang [9] predicted student learning outcomes in anengineering dynamics course by comparing four commonly used ML models, namely, multiplelinear regression perception network, function network, and support vector machine model. Theyconcluded that the selection on the type of model would depend on whether the assessment wasdone on average or individual performance, meaning the ML model may have a certain bias if notemployed appropriately. At the program level, Xu et al. [10] recognized the dynamic progress astudent could make through the years in college.

The overall program has begun to expand across K-12, with linkstied to programs being introduced beyond elementary in middle school and high school.IntroductionWhile the importance of preparing for college while still in high school has been widelyrecognized both through research and through practice, much less is known about howintroducing students to college while still in elementary school will impact students’ aspirationstoward pursuing post-secondary education. In particular, this study seeks to determine how earlyexposure to college through a teaching and learning partnership called “Connected Classrooms”with Lafayette College will

reverseengineer the model rocket parts, digitize each part into a virtual solid model, and then assemblethe parts into a virtual solid model of the entire rocket. The only additional instructor-suppliedinformation, beyond the engineering design process, was a basic understanding of center ofgravity, center of pressure, and how they relate to rocket stability.As the teams worked through the design process, they developed solid models of their payloadsusing Solid Works (Figure 1). A design review in the form class presentations allowed the teamsto explain how all the project constraints were being met as well as to receive feedback on theirdesigns. The completed payload designs were fabricated using a solid laser sintering process inMSOE’s Rapid Prototype
