engineering educators, typically they are to: 1. Facilitate student learning and concomitant motivation. 2. Strengthen genuine retention of students. 3. Prepare students for engineering application in the industry outside the classroom. 4. Identify the most effective selection of course components and best use of class time.While each of these objectives might be considered mutually exclusive on some levels, an idealcourse would be one developed to create maximum overlap across each of these goal categories.Ensuring that students like their work certainly helps to retain them, but do they feel they arelearning from the same experience?Review of LiteratureLearning Styles.

These factors make makerspaces particularly well-suited forproviding active learning opportunities in engineering, and indeed, the use and effects ofmakerspaces in engineering education have been explored in a number of studies[18],[22],[23],[24].As might be expected from their facilitation of active-learning techniques, the use ofmakerspaces in engineering education has shown a number of positive outcomes. Hilton et al.[25] found a positive correlation between student-involvement/activity in university makerspacesand in-major GPA. In addition to academic benefits, they also noted that the utilization ofmakerspaces can improve student self-efficacy. Students that were regularly involved

Students must be prepared to practice design approaches that are tailored to thecomplex realities in engineering design practice not only to support innovative and profitableindustries [7], but to support ethical, critical engineering design that considers societal needs [6].Broad, high-quality sociotechnical data collection and analysis, frequently requiring the use ofqualitative research methods, are especially critical during the front-end of design processes, whichAtman [8] defines as activities like problem scoping, requirements definition, and concept selection,and that often determine the success or failure of design

Autoethnographic StudyIntroductionAn academic career may involve a semester or even years away from the classroom as onepursues research or enters administration. Unlike a sabbatical, where you may engage studentswhile expanding relationships in industry or another university, returning to the classroom after awhile in an administrator role has challenges and opportunities. This paper describes some of myexperience as a veteran administrator who recently returned to the classroom after nearly adecade away and shares lessons learned that I hope new educators find valuable.My early academic career was focused almost entirely on teaching and advising. For more than adecade, each year, I taught over a thousand students. In addition, I supervised nearly a

Students wholearn data science at a young age are better equipped to implement the concepts at later stageswhere they will have more chances to practice and develop their skills [3]. However, currentdata science research for early childhood is very limited, and although previous data scienceframeworks for K–12 education have claimed that the content is suitable for kindergarteners,application has proven that, in reality, the content is more appropriate for students in grade 4and beyond [4]. Therefore, this paper proposes a data science framework suitable for the developmentalstages of young

]. Although not all interactionsoccur in makerspaces within this department, cohorts work on projects together that usuallyinvolve the utilization of one of these spaces for an aspect of the project. Thus, students notedthat they could no longer interact with their peers in these spaces and had to complete much oftheir work without the collaboration they experienced prior to the pandemic: I mean there would always be people working in those group spaces, and a lot of times we work on homework. If someone's stuck, you just bounce in another room and ask them, "Hey, have you guys figured this out? What the heck am I supposed to be doing?" And now it's, if you can't figure it out, you can either text someone. But I know a lot of

PracticesInformal STEM EducationPromoting engineering and STEM through summer camps is a well-developed practice. Theliterature outlines several best approaches to effectively implement learning into camps. Workingwith hands-on activities increases interest in engineering while allowing students to practiceproblem solving and designing their own solutions to a problem [9 -11]. Such activities reinforceteamwork and communication skills as students collaborate in groups to develop solutions andexplain their ideas [11]. While using hands-on projects are common practice, they often lack amathematical component, which gives a less than accurate representation of college engineeringprograms [10].
