education research and engineering education research. Her work involves designing and researching contexts for learning (for students, educators, and faculty) within higher education. Her research draws from perspectives in anthropology, cultural psychology, and the learning sciences to focus on the role of culture and ideology in science learning and educational change. Her research interests include how to: (a) disrupt problematic cultural narratives in STEM (e.g. brilliance narratives, meritocracy, and individualistic competition); (b) cultivate equity-minded approaches in ed- ucational spheres, where educators take responsibility for racialized inequities in student success; and (c) cultivate more ethical future

The process of BIM created new career paths for young professionals6.New positions such as “BIM engineer/BIM manager” became a choice for current collegegraduates and may become their future career path.

Many programs are also seeking toanswer this call by integrating more hands-on activities and active learning in lower-divisioncourses, which require more facilitation than the traditional large lectures. This sharply increasesthe need for teaching resources compared to traditional, large-lecture format courses. Because oftime and budget constraints, more and more engineering graduate students are assuming teachingresponsibilities, especially in introductory courses.In 2007, the last year for which data are available, more than 70,000 full-time graduate studentsin science and engineering

The core elements of active learning are student activity and engagement in thelearning process2.

These same skills,however, have been highlighted as lacking in new engineering graduates as they enter theworkforce[2], [3].This lack of preparedness for real-world problems that students face upon leaving school leads tosignificant frustration for both employer and employee.
