A cohort of 11 teachers participated during the summer of 2021 and includedteachers and instructors from Indiana and Illinois high school teachers and community colleges.Research projects involved industrial collaborations with local steel industry partners.The project kicked off with a 6-week in-person research experience hosted at the Center forInnovation through Visualization and Simulation (CIVS) at Purdue University Northwest. Theteachers worked with faculty and research staff mentors and graduate students on researchprojects in the areas of blast
of their social and economic impact [3].One way to achieve this end is by teaching students to harbor an Entrepreneurial Mindset (EM).This may be accomplished in a range of ways, and one such way is via collaboration with theKern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN) [4]. KEEN defines EM to be a collection ofmental habits and attitudes that inform one’s approach to problem solving and value creation forsociety [4]. Teaching students to harbor EM is done via Entrepreneurial Minded Learning (EML)and the 3Cs: Curiosity, Connections, and Creating Value [4]. Teaching assessment can provide structure for instruction and support of student learningin the classroom [5]. These assessments have shown student improvement with
, loneliness, and isolation4-7 . To aid in producing scientists and engineers to fulfill STEM jobs, it is important tounderstand how the experiences of college students, particularly racial minority students, maydivert them from persisting in STEM fields. For many racial minority students, the transition into college can be challenging, fraughtwith many issues ranging from social and academic isolation, encountering negative attitudesand behaviors, and fears of fulfilling stereotypes 8,9. The consequences of these issues are grave:social and academic isolation and lack of support in particular, can detrimentally impact minoritystudents’ academic performances 10,11. Mentoring has been viewed as an effective deterrent tocombat the isolation
engineering students communicate better,become more ethical, and see the task of engineering in a larger cultural context. This is as itshould be, but is it possible that the field of design engineering might lend insight and wisdomback to the humanities? If engineering design principles are so helpful in unraveling themysteries of biology, might they also be useful in the social sciences? These are just some of thequestions being posed in an engineering elective course at Oral Roberts University (ORU),where undergraduate students wrestle with advanced concepts in reverse engineering. A recentarticle in ASEE Prism1 touts the benefits of having engineering students engage in the dissection
course, andthe outcome is unclear as of the writing of this paper. This is being done at the risk ofencroaching on the time available for the students to engage in the design-build-test process thatembodies the “capstone” nature of the course. Risk analysis, however, is viewed as a valuabletool that can save time if things go wrong.The main components of risk analysis are identification, analysis, and mitigation. Students areasked to identify several risk items that are critical to achieving MOP thresholds or baselinesbased on uncertainty (lack of technical knowledge, parts availability, scheduling pressures, etc.).for each item, they are to ask “What is the likelihood the situation or circumstance will happen?”and assign a probability value

These experiences will significantly impact on student development, particularly onlearning, self-efficacy, diversity, and the ability to innovate. The implementation of systems engineering requires a flawless interface between teammembers working toward a common system thinking to correctly execute systems engineeringprocess. Although there is a general agreement regarding the principles and objectives of systemsengineering, its actual implementation will vary from on discipline to the next.

The results of this study will inform uson how to implement this approach on a large-scale. More VR teaching modules will be builtand shared with the community. It is expected that the approach will be adopted by otherinstitutions to widen the broader impact of this project.AcknowledgmentThe authors would like to thank the National

This decline is attributed to multifaceted factors, including the pandemic'sdisproportionate impact on marginalized and low-income communities, reduced constructionopportunities, and heightened job competition from individuals in alternative sectors.Construction firms point to the lack of requisite skills among job applicants and potential hires asa leading factor in the ongoing labor shortage, as highlighted by the Associated
). Serving in an interim role comes with many peculiarities. For one,using influence over authority is particularly critical for interims. The amount of authority thatyou hold as an interim is likely ill-defined, but as an internal insider, your influence is hopefullyhigh. It is also important to realize that many that you hope to lead will see you as onlytemporary and may be willing to wait out the transition period without fully engaging. This islikely not personal but rather a professional consideration of the role in which you are serving. Akey to success in the role is in listening – pulling heavily on the advice from other senior leadersand colleagues as you may suddenly have high-impact decisions without the historical context.Across all

While engineering education continues to focus on the use of equations and theories tosolve well-structured problems (Jonassen, 2014), engineering practice often focuses on skillsneeded to solve more ill-structured problems, such as problem formulation, communication,people management, decision-making, negotiation, and conflict resolution, among others(Brunhaver et al., 2016; Hazelrigg, 1998; Lagesen & Sørensen, 2009; Trevelyan, 2010;Williams, Figueiredo, & Trevelyan, 2014).In our experience based on the first author’s decade of experience working in engineeringindustry, exposing senior engineering students to problems that resemble the ambiguity andsocial characteristics of engineering practice

McTighe learning outcomes are organized into three levels of learning importance:1. enduring understandings, 2. important to know insights, and 3. good to know information. InPrinciples the enduring understandings are: 1., the ability to recognize entrepreneurialopportunities, 2. to communicate the benefits of those opportunities to others whether they arecustomers, partners, employees or investors, and 3., the ability to asses and compareentrepreneurial competencies. These enduring understandings establish the most importantlearning outcomes that the student is expected to know or be able to do as a result ofparticipating in the Principles course.
