As shown technology and makerspaces provide opportunities to create physical artifactsthat build personal connections with engineering and technology [10], [11], [12], [13]. Howeverthere have been unequitable uses of said spaces and resources for youth from underservedcommunities that place youth at a disadvantage compared to their more privileged peers [1],[14], [15], [16]. Therefore the use of YPAR in technology rich spaces, youth may use researchmethods to make sense of and address social problems impacting their communities [17

For this reason students are engaged in hands-onactivities beginning with their first semester and do not wait for several semesters or years toexperience real engineering activities. During the last three years tremendous efforts havebeen made to modify and update the curricula of all the department’s programs.Due to the rapid growth of the department in the last few years, the department has embarkedon a mission to include distance education (DE) capabilities in its various courses. Toaccommodate this, various components of the courses have been devised as stand alonemodules woven together through

Industry hadindicated they could teach specifics not learned in classes, if the students could both bring afundamental understanding of the topic and be self-directed learners, so the course learningobjectives emphasized these skills over deep knowledge; this also meant, unfortunately, that wedecided not to take action on the responses to Question 3 to develop specializations within theHEVE program, but rather allow employers to engage graduates as they found the need to.Serving as a map of the intersections of course learning objectives and industry interests, Figure5 demonstrates how these courses were laid out.

are multiple factors thataffect the experience of graduate students as they transition from their previous identities to therole of researcher and scholar. Our review of the literature paired with our personal experiencessuggest that there are several factors that affect these three aspects of graduate student identitydevelopment. First, students are more likely to develop a stronger graduate student identity when theyfeel more competent in their disciplinary and writing skills (Burt, 2014). In a study thatinvestigated the impact writing had on graduate student identity, graduate students shared thatthey often feel ashamed of their work and compare themselves to their peers (Del Toro, 2017).Students were afraid to share their work in

A more ‘interdisciplinary approach,’ whereby atechnological spin is added to other subjects, and vice-versa, can allow teachers to addengineering without drastically altering their lesson plans. This can add to the hands-on natureof the lessons as well, making engineering fun for students.”The pop-up book immersion engaged teachers in such active, hands-on, constructive experience.Our intention was to model an inquiry-based teaching and learning climate for the teachers inwhich experimentation, discussion, and collaboration were central.

Discussions of this generaltopic often use the word discipline and then assume that the disciplines are defined in anepistemological manner.Epistemology however did not drive the historical development of the various academicdisciplines. In antebellum America, colleges were small, with several hundred students beingviewed as a large enrollment. The antebellum college usually offered just one degree, a B.A.degree, which was implemented by a lock-step curriculum focused on classical studies.(Science was a recent addition.) There were no departments and no disciplines. Faculty reporteddirectly to the President and were generally hired not because of any

As some schools have found when adding sustainability and BIM to theircurricula, implementation of a new topic may take much longer than desired, so the sooner long-term change is started, the better.Perhaps the most compelling reason to teach PtD is that it aligns with the values espoused by thecivil engineering community.

Some students have never taken a course thatdidn’t have analytical homework problems. Other students have little patience for conceptualmaterial that cannot be directly applied. The wide spread of student backgrounds has been botha challenge and an opportunity. The diversity of student backgrounds can be properlyexploited to lead to a rich learning community where less experienced students learn fromseasoned practitioners, who themselves learn by teaching.
