complexityand cost of modern fabrication facilities are beyond both the financial reach and scope of the vastmajority of universities. The Metal Oxide Semiconductor Implementation Service (MOSIS) has,for many years, permitted educators to bridge the gap between theory and practice in VLSIcircuits. This service provides a low cost method through which student integrated circuitprototypes can actually be fabricated. In a matter of weeks, packaged circuits are deliveredwhich exactly reflect a student’s design. Since commercial semiconductor manufacturersperform the actual fabrication, the consistency of the fabrication is excellent. A student’s successcannot be better validated than through this reduction to practice. As appealing as this MOSIS

This process also allows their peers at PWIs to havegraduated experiences in engaging with SUGS in diverse STEM

how differentsocial media platforms through their unique affordances support in outreaching public for variousengineering related engagement programs.In this paper we focus on the National Engineers Week campaign that started back in 1951 andnow uses a number of online channels, including Twitter, to engage the public. Despite being oneof the well-known campaigns for engineering in the USA, there is a lack of understanding aroundhow effective the Twitter use is and who is engaged in this campaign. We go beyond the usualmethodological tools such as surveys and interviews and contribute to the literature by providinginsights into the participation during this campaign using data-driven analytics to answer whoparticipates in the campaign and who
ensuring students and teachers in many K-12 classrooms across theUS will be engaged with engineering education. The framework upon which the NGSSis based states, “Students should learn how science is used, in particular through theengineering design process, and they should come to appreciate the distinctions andrelationships between engineering, technology, and the applications of science”2.Science and engineering complement each other in many ways, but teach studentsdifferent, yet equally important, skill sets. “If the core of science is discovery, then theessence of engineering is creation”3. The challenge of including engineering in schoolprograms is evident4, especially at the elementary level where time dedicated to scienceinstruction is far

Additionally, laboratory facilities are often Page 22.1002.2inaccessible to the students of other departments within the same institution because of theirgeographical location.

Many students struggle to stay hopeful and positive in thewake of disrupted patterns of learning, largely because many have not yet mastered how toemploy adaptive practices in times of crisis [8]. Although our college employed a HyFlex modelin the fall (students back on brick-and-mortar campus but rotating through attending class in-person versus on Zoom for different classes and different days), the learning environment is stillfar from what we would typically consider “normal.”We sought to quantify the ways in
