broader opportunities for students to learnabout design and research skills and to collaborate across projectsDesign/Method: Sixteen paid students were assigned to one of ten projects. Several studentswere classified as sophomores, and others were more advanced. Projects were proposed byfaculty mentors with an emphasis on the development of educational experiences using researchand/or design approaches. Several projects revolved around cyber security. We introducedstudents to the research process, while adapting to the limitations of a virtual program. While ourmain goal was to support students and provide summer work, we also made progress on projectsthat were established before the program.Results: The SECURE program operated from May 18

within government bodies,disciplinary organizations, and industries [2], [3]. Due to “decreasing public investments ingraduate education,” however, there have been numerous calls to articulate the value of PhDprograms [5]. While these stakeholder pressures have generally resulted in increasedaccountability measures and smaller coffers of financial support for PhD programs, engineeringeducation programs seem anomalous. One of the main factors contributing to this disciplinarydifference relates to the established funding mechanisms for Eng Ed research through theNational Science Foundation [5]. Whereas in other disciplines, the drive to examine the qualityof doctoral programs is tied to financial sustainability [5], conversations regarding
latter will also equip students withexperience using more authentic tools that are used in the industry through repeated practice. Forsystem designers, we recommend using popular design frameworks as well as design metaphorsthat match a student’s existing mental model and provide a user experience which matches theirbeliefs, minimizes learnability, improves discoverability of features through signifiers, andreduces students’ cognitive load when interacting with a system. We also recommend that systemdesigners provide alternate means to students who prefer not to use the web-based solutions toaccommodate eclectic learners.References[1] C. L. Gordon, R. Lysecky, and F.

For instance, a model termed ECNQ(acronym for Engage, Communicate, Names, Questions) was designed and implemented to engagestudents in the engineering classroom and disrupt traditional teaching practices [14]. Similarly, amodel termed CIRE (e.g., acronym for Communication, Initiation, Reduction, and Extension), inwhich an instructional template was recommended for online instruction [15].Though numerous communication models have generated favorable outcomes in terms of fosteringstudent-instructor interaction, student collaboration, and establishing active learningenvironments, oftentimes barriers are indirectly established that hinder communication betweenstudents and faculty members.

].Slaton [16] connects identity with technical validity in STEM professions, stating that “inscience and engineering the validity of findings at the bench derives from the experimenter, notthe experiment; [just as] the reliability of a building material or industrial product is determinedby the tester, not the test” [16, p. 175]. This understanding further adds evidence that meritocracyin engineering is a myth. Instead, individuals are often judged for who they are and their sociallyconstructed identities rather than ability or how they perform as engineers. In a culture thatprivileges whiteness, maleness, straightness, ableism, etc., women enter engineering learningenvironments at a disadvantage based on their gender identity. In other words

only 27 of984 (~3%) participants had responses that indicated conceptions about engineering thatcould prevent advocacy around HC in engineering education and industry spaces ifperpetuated. Participants’ conceptions range from HC is not an issue and there is not aneed for self-/advocacy to participants who hold beliefs that HC self-/advocacyendangers the engineering status quo.Conception 1: HC is not/is no longer an issue, so there is no need for self-advocacy or advocacy. A few participants (n = 2) did not think that HC in engineering is an issue and asa result, did not have to self-advocate for themselves or advocate for others.

These projects are part of therequirements of both the Computer Programming course and at least one additional coursewithin the curriculum in their second semester of study. Frequently, the EngineeringMathematics course in the second semester is that accompanying subject since it focuses onordinary differential equations and on numerical methods for solving them. For both subjects,this is a fruitful collaboration, as their mutual usefulness becomes clearly visible.It seems that a critical issue in teaching mathematics to engineering students is to find theright balance between the practical application of

The industry subjected to the greatest risk of ice accumulation is commercial fishingvessels operating in extreme weather conditions at high latitudes.

practice in the area of learning science, Human-computer interaction (HCI), and engineering education. His primary research focuses on designing and developing educational technologies that can facilitate different aspects (e.g., engagement) of the students’ learning and provide an engaging experience. Further, he is interested in designing instructional interventions and exploring their relationship with different aspects of first-year engineering (FYE) students’ learning (e.g., motivation and learning strategies). Before Purdue University, he worked as a lecturer for two years at the University of Lahore, Pakistan. Additionally, he has been associated with the software industry in various capacities, from developer to
future engineeringprofessionals. Having a greater understanding of how gender biases (even in subtle expressions)affect one’s ability to work, collaborate, and support others in an academic setting providesvaluable insight into the creation of supportive environments for women in engineering. In thisstudy, individuals who were able to identify subtle bias events were in an empowering positionto believe in or defy gender stereotypes when they witnessed them first-hand. The modelproposed here suggests there is value in open discourse of the issues of stereotyping and bias inSTEM, as individuals may learn more about how to recognize bias. Having this ability couldallow them to make more egalitarian, or stereotype-defying behavioral choices when

A number of specificand measurable EM student outcomes were developed by Ohio Northern University, termed theexpanded KEEN student outcomes (eKSOs) [6]. The eKSOs cover both the primary EM categories ofcuriosity, making connections, and creating value and the secondary EM categories ofcommunication, collaboration, and character. In the same way that PBL can be used to helpstudents practice and improve their practical skills, entrepreneurially minded learning (EML) canbe used to help students to identify and solve problems in innovative ways using EM skills [7].Additionally, information literacy is one of the skills prioritized by employers that recentgraduates tend to lack that is

Particularly concerning tothe U.S. government is that most commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) UAS are manufactured byChinese companies, such as DJI, who holds as much as 75% market share of an $21 billion peryear industry. The cybersecurity implications of this led the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) toban the purchase and use of COTS UASs for DoD work in 2018, and the following year the U.S.Department of the Interior grounded its fleet of 70 DJI UASs.
