PhilosophyTypical engineering courses taught at the CTU Colorado Springs campus are two to three hourslong meeting twice a week. The teaching pedagogy uses a student-centered approach where theytake active participation in their learning as opposed to passive one-hour instructor lectures inclass. For example, one approach of instruction involving engineering problems a number ofanalytical concepts, such as circuit analysis or signals and systems involves the following steps: Step 1. Introduce and present a topic for 5 minutes. Motivate why this topic is important and relevant to the course keeping it short and sweet. Also show how information will benefit them or tell a relevant war story based on industry experience. Step 2. Solve
Conference 6. They wondered if online labs would be as effective as those done in class live and in person. There is a lot of person-person interaction in solving the problems with the labs. Kathy noted that if students will attempt the labs ahead of time and bring their issues to the chats, it should work well. 7. In response to one question as to whether they believed there might be a bias in industry against engineers who obtained their degrees online, they opined that there should not be but probably is. But they also said they are not yet engineers, do not work in those circles, and therefore do not know.Table 6.

The engineering program at the incubation campus was designedaround evidence-based practices with proven effectiveness at supporting the success ofunder-represented students, including: ● strong mentorship, ● hands-on and problem-based learning, ● supportive and mastery-based assessment, and ● a mission-driven focus (sustainability) ● close connection to business and industry applicationsLearning was organized around a series of projects with real world applications.

Although I did not ask for a formal definition during the interviews,participants mentioned it as something the engineer does as part of the intersection between art andengineering. About how to do this integration in educational settings, the participants presented a myriad ofpossibilities. From a practical perspective, Prof. D.-LA considered that entertainment engineering andtheater technical direction are disciplinary options for formal integration. However, Prof. Y.-LAsuggested that industrial design (product) and interior design (environments) are per se disciplines thathave integrated art and

However, research hasshown that women often face challenges in developing programming skills, primarily due tolower levels of programming self-efficacy [1], [2]. This discrepancy has contributed to persistentgender gaps in technology-related fields. There remains a critical research gap regarding thedifferential impact of educational interventions on programming self-efficacy across genders,particularly in engineering.

At that time, coregender issues were related to a lack of awareness about the importance of gender equality anda strong belief in traditional gender roles. However, from the government side, there was alsoa lack of legislation protecting gender equality, and a lack of collaboration withnongovernmental organizations that promote women's rights [2]. In line with this strategy,the government has begun to incorporate gender-related concerns into the development ofnew policies.Equal career prospects are not only a moral but mostly an economic necessity
