Recent work by Larsen (3) further underscores that these field-level interactions are in-strumental in shaping responsive governance frameworks and mitigating the harms and risksof AI systems. While the mission statements of major AI conferences emphasize researchdissemination, technology demonstration, and cross-sector collaboration, emerging critiques(4; 5) point to persistent information asymmetries and silos. These gaps raise questionsabout who gets to

Such accessibility to a makerspace, in general, can impact how students perceive makingand even how they perceive themselves as a maker (O'Connell, 2015).

AbstractImportant direct outcomes of new engineer socialization include understanding one’s roles andresponsibilities, learning the knowledge and skills required to perform one’s job, understandingone’s company culture, and gaining acceptance into one’s workgroup. Studies have shown thatachieving these outcomes positively impacts job retention, satisfaction, and performance.However, while the proactive behaviors new engineers
tofurther understand the intersection between design thinking and engineering course design byinvestigating two research questions: 1) What tensions are experienced by engineering educators attempting to apply design thinking to the redesign of two courses in the second and third year of an undergraduate electrical and computer engineering program? 2) How do these tensions inform the application of design thinking in an engineering course design context?The Emergence of Design Thinking in EducationThe study of design thinking emerged through efforts to understand the nature of design practiceand how, typically successful, designers engaged therein. By understanding these areas, scholarsand practitioners could enhance designer

. As can be seen in the learning outcomes included in theappendices, the three dimensional innovation model aids the development of Engineering,science, and technical curricula. Much of what is implied by the three dimensional view ofinnovation for Engineering, science, and technical undergraduate education is already happeningin many institutions. The educational process in Engineering, science, and technology could bemade even more powerful by a more purposeful application of these ideas.We strongly encourage colleagues from all fields to join us in pursuing a more innatelyinnovative population of future Engineers, Scientist, and Technologists through an integrativeapproach to discipline-founded, systems-enabled, and discovery-informed

exemplar, she “accidentally” began a journey in EEPs and entrepreneurshipbased on suggestions from those around her. Like other faculty we spoke to, 9/13 EEP-participants, she categorized her experience in entrepreneurship as one of chance and guided byothers’ suggestions, not driven by her initial interests.Conclusions and Future WorkThese emerging findings lay the groundwork for significant future analysis. Most immediately,we seek to develop a conceptual framework that explicates factors informing women STEMfaculty’s participation/non-participation in EEPs. This process will involve key-linkage andframework analysis [17], connecting to the broader theoretical work in adult learning, educationand entrepreneurship literature [5]. In the next

While research onengineering transfer students is emerging, most of the research focuses on post-transfer studentsand there is a gap in understanding of pre-transfer engineering students. In addition to this gap,there is little understanding of the geographic and demographic variability in transfer assets ofpre-transfer engineering students.
