One major component of the project isdeveloping a one-credit course, Introduction of Project Management for Thesis Research. Thecourse has been offered each semester since Fall 2020 with a total enrollment of 75 students withdifferent degree specializations. During the course, students learned PM skills

and empower youngadults to create positive change.The challenges faced during the project were diverse and included technical and social aspects,such as fundraising, documentation workload, and communication with leaders, commonlyencountered in similar projects. However, the COVID-19 pandemic added new challenges,emphasizing the need for innovation and adaptability in addressing these challenges. Effectiveproject management strategies and contingency plans are crucial in overcoming such challengesand ensuring the success of similar projects in the future. The results highlight the importance offlexibility, creativity, and resilience in addressing the challenges faced during community-basedinitiatives, particularly in today's rapidly changing
and middle schools. Students use classroom literature (stories, novels, andexpository texts) to identify engineering problems and explore their ideas through design projectsto solve these problems. This innovative approach was developed by the Center for EngineeringEducation and Outreach (CEEO) at Tufts University. Many teachers around the country currentlypractice it. The NE research team at CEEO conducts professional development (PD) workshopswhere elementary school teachers develop the knowledge, skills, and abilities to introduceengineering to their students. During the PD, teachers learn to integrate NE-inspired engineeringdesign challenges into their existing reading curriculum.In order to further improve the NE program and increase its
research into the project, the team developed an appreciation for energysaving inventions due to the difficulty of the intersections of costs, time, and product quality.Making the device high in efficiency yet affordable and sustainable was challenging. For betterresults, materials that are more expensive would need to be purchased, which did not align withour constraints. This was overcome by using lower quality materials, such as cardboard,electronics, and 3D printed parts, that were either created by the team or obtained through ouruniversity's First Year Engineering Learning and Innovation Center (FYELC). Planning how touse the resources we had was an engineering challenge the team learned from.The team also implemented technical skills and

have shown that participating in research as an undergraduate student can helpstudents explore their interest in graduate school [4], develop research skill [5], and improvelearning outcomes [6]. Further, undergraduate research has been shown to help students attainhigher levels of competence in STEM, thus positioning them to be strong contributors to theSTEM workforce [7]. Providing undergraduate engineering students co-curricular learningopportunities to deepen their knowledge of recent STEM advances will enable them to becomeengineers who are primed to innovate and push the boundaries of existing knowledge. It alsoprovides students access to a research community for interaction with other researchers [8] andopportunity to engage in active
opportunities to explorethese cutting-edge technologies and learn critical design and problem-solving skills that areessential for the future workforce of the “Fourth Industrial Revolution” [1]. Other benefits of theprogram will include professional development (including Continuing Education Credits) forCPS teachers, training and outreach experiences for undergraduate students currently studying inSTEM fields at Illinois State University, the creation of 32 innovative STEM activities perprogram year, and educational materials and equipment for the partnering high schools.The four project goals are: 1.

givenproject. As it was mentioned, this capstone project shows interesting diversity and inclusion. Amajority of the students are Hispanic students and 40% of the team members (Two out of fivestudents) are female engineering students. As a technical advisor of several prior capstone projects, there are a couple of general lessonslearned while advising this capstone project. First, as a technical advisor, given this diversity, therole of the advisor may need to be intentionally more attentive and sensitive to the student’sneeds. In addition, this project is related to the design of an innovative prototype device and itmight have required coming up with a new solution. Thus, students might have faced unexpectedchallenges during the project period

” to the carepenalty is not the exclusion of caring from engineering. Rather the solution must includethe innovation of properly pricing and incorporating “caring” as a “quality factor” ofengineering work. This solution should include compensation with an appropriatefinancial wage (or alternative employment benefit for caring service provided).BackgroundFrom before 2002 through after 2013, the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) ofthe United States of American undertook an intentional effort to “rebrand” theengineering profession [1, 2, 3]. The result, the “Changing the Conversation Campaign”,was intended to raise public awareness of engineering, to increase the total number ofengineers, and to recruit historically underrepresented groups to

You need practical knowledge about what works and what will not work.” Similarly,a faculty member explained that “you need creativity and practical knowledge about what willwork and what will not work". Students, similarly in some cases, mentioned concerns overpracticality, however the only student that mentioned risk stated that this was important becausethey were “taught in civil engineering, to kind of be safe more than being innovative.” The phrasingof this suggests, at least for this student, that they understood the idea of needing to be “safe” whendeveloping a solution, but they relate this only to what they were told in class, rather thansomething experienced themselves.

The global demand forenergy in the past ten years has increased substantially by almost 100 quadrillion British EnergyUnits and is projected to continue growing based on population and standard of living [1]. Inaddition, a crisis has developed regarding carbon in the atmosphere, causing abnormal climatechanges. The climate is not a trading card; it's our future, and climate change extends beyond anycountry's bounds [2]. Although many innovative solutions are being researched to independentlyincrease our energy efficiency or decrease the amount of carbon in the atmosphere, a resoundingcall for sustainable energy production addresses both issues.

Education. Teamwork is one of thecritical skills for success in undergraduate engineering education and beyond. Engineeringprojects require collaboration among individuals with different disciplines and expertise [1].Therefore, engineering students must learn how to contribute, communicate effectively, delegatetasks, and resolve conflicts among team members [1]. Team members bring unique perspectivesand ideas, promoting creativity and innovation [2]. Moreover, the ability to perform in teamsettings is highly valued by employers. It demonstrates adaptability, collaboration, andleadership [3]. Engineering students can enhance their ability to complete the project effectivelyand gain essential skills that would serve well in their future careers by
