The Girl Scout Council of Greater Atlantais sponsoring our engineering badge as a “Council’s Own” badge. The badge is also sponsoredby the ASME Design Engineering Division and Lockheed Martin. This paper serves as astructured guide to the process of creating a Girl Scout badge from scratch, to encourage andsupport the development of additional new badges. The process includes the followingcomponents: team assembly, curriculum research and development, piloting the badge,refinement, secondary badge piloting, and embodiment/deployment. Two
membersthat have been assigned to teach such courses. Not only do they have to spend significant amountof time away from research to make interesting classroom material, but they also have to teachmaterial that is not even remotely close to what they do for research. To make matters worse,since the High School curriculum in the United States does not mandate a basic foundation inprobability and statistics, most students are extremely unprepared and hence the instructors haveto start at a phenomenally fundamental level.The objective of this paper is to describe some strategies to overcome the concerns mentionedabove and effectively educate engineering students on topics in applied probability and statistics.The first aspect is to teach a predominantly

Consequently, the originalCyberAmbassadors curriculum incorporates activities, examples and exercises that are centeredin the context of exploratory research. This type of research is generally found in academicsettings, such as research universities and non-profit institutions, as well as in government-funded laboratories. Designing the curriculum to reflect the language and positions common tothese settings (e.g., investigator, research group, graduate student, postdoc) is an important partof the constructivist and sociocultural pedagogy embraced by the CyberAmbassadors project[7]–[9]. In this approach, learning takes place most effectively in contexts that are familiar andrelevant

continual (but not redundant) exposure to these topics throughout their curriculum. It is not adequate to only incorporate interventions in the first year introductory course and senior design, but optimally in at least one course every semester. This requires integrating diversity and inclusion topics in technical courses and, when possible, providing examples of the importance of diversity and inclusion in engineering design. This work‐in‐progress takes an incremental approach by working with amenable faculty, as well as demonstrating to additional faculty the value added to the curriculum.Weber and Atadero. 2020 Annual CoNECD Conference. 5

parallels to engineering design.Rather than focusing on traditional business model development, Lean Launch incorporates aniterative hypothesis-testing model built around customer need and constraints, akin to that foundin engineering user-centered design courses. Through this approach, Lean Launch offers studentsthe skill sets needed to iterate and explore user needs. The use of a Lean Launch curriculum canalso aid in the development of important skills needed by modern engineers, such ascommunication. This paper maps the Lean Launch curriculum to engineering design outcomesand behaviors and a typical human-centered design process, to identify how Lean Launch can beused in engineering courses to meet the ever-evolving needs of engineering

This contrasts with the traditional approach of providingaccess to this information utilizing a 2D drawing, either in paper or electronic form. Case studieshave shown that MBD has the potential to significantly reduce the development time withreductions in cost. At the same time there is resistance to embracing this methodology due to thecontinued preference for the traditional engineering drawing as a means to

It is particularlyso in the early Freshman and Sophomore years, since the students have not enrolled in abreadth of subjects. Multidisciplinary problems are often left to latter years, thereby leavingthe students with an incomplete picture of how course subject matters relate and fit in alarger view of engineering and design. A novel approach to multi-disciplinary engineeringeducation was instituted in the Freshman and Sophomore years at the Singapore Universityof Technology and Design

studentswho may need, yet not see the value of, leadership education. Further, engineering students whopursue careers outside of the mainstream engineering industry pathways, such as research orentrepreneurship, often do not automatically see the value in leadership and management trainingin college; they perceive these programs to be aimed just at careers in industry. Therefore, theobjective of this paper is to introduce the approach that one university is employing to revamp anddevelop a new credentialed curriculum in engineering leadership aimed at students with broadcareer interests. There are two facets of this new certificate program, and it aims to create acompelling experience that attracts an increasing number of engineering undergraduates
