Engineering and co-founder of the Integrative Learning Portfolio Lab in Career Education at Stanford University. She earned her undergraduate degree from UCLA and her PhD in Communication with a minor in Psychology from Stanford. Her scholarship is focused on engineering and entrepreneurship education, portfolio pedagogy, reflective practices, non-degree credentials, and reimagining how learners represent themselves through their professional online presence.Prof. George Toye Ph.D., P.E., is adjunct professor in Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University. While engaged in teaching project based engineering design thinking and innovations at the graduate level, he also contributes to research in engineering education
, discussed later, the overall administration remained uniform. Students were asked to complete a survey and a concept map during the first and final weeks of their E101 course experience. ackgroundBThe EM is a dynamic framework that cultivates critical thinking, creativity, and adaptability by integrating technical and soft skills to address complex engineering problems. Grounded in the "three Cs" of engineering education- connectedness, creating value, and curiosity- this framework was developed by the Kern Engineering Education Network (KEEN), a partnership of 28 engineering institutions dedicated to producing graduates with the professional, social, and personal skills necessary for lifelong learning and meaningful
andmotivation in UGR can aid in the design of improved workshops and courses for UG researchers,as well as provide direction for individual faculty who are interested in leveraging EM in theirmentorship of UG students.Introduction:Undergraduate research (UGR) is widely recognized as a high-impact practice that enhancesstudents’ academic productivity. The engagement in learning, retention in college, and careerpreparedness of students can be positively affected by participating in UGR. Studies show thatUGR helps students clarify career goals [1], foster a sense of identity as scientists or engineers[2], and build resilience [3]. Additionally, UGR serves as a valuable ecosystem for preparingfuture graduate students and enhancing research lab productivity
-based reasoning in science education where 1students learn by solving design-and-build challenges that mirror the practices of scientists andengineers. Ngaile4 highlighted the pedagogical challenges in teaching modern manufacturingconcepts. To address these challenges, a study was conducted in which the students across threeinstitutions worked together on projects related to advanced manufacturing technologies. Theimpact of the course was assessed through pre- and post-surveys conducted by an externalevaluator. The study emphasized the importance of effective communication platforms andguidelines for successful multi-institutional collaborations
, and measured risk [3]. Faculty have incorporated the entrepreneurial mindset[4], head/heart alignment and passion finding, creativity, and an innovators identity [5] into variouselements of experiential and project based courses. Capstone design instructors often teach tenetsof entrepreneurship to their design teams to build “soft skills” and develop “well-rounded”engineers [6]. These activities are both necessary for ABET accreditation as well as desired by theengineering workforce.In addition, employers seek more creative, entrepreneurial engineering graduates. Increasingly,they believe that gaining knowledge beyond traditional engineering curriculum is more importantthan discipline knowledge [7]. In addition, learning creativity and
in Li-ion batteries. In addition to his current research interests of developing diagnostic tools for electrochemical storage of renewable energy, Saqib is also interested in the Scholarship of Teaching of Learning (SoTL) and Engineering Education in particular. Prior to joining Marian, Saqib was one of the founding faculty members of the Mechanical Engineering program at the University of Indianapolis. He served as the program coordinator, undertaking major curriculum development, and led the program through a successful initial ABET accreditation review. He received multiple research grants, he coordinated the campus-wide Research Fellows programs, and his dedication to teaching was recognized through the UIndy
, document, observe, and quantify the development of a student’s EM during hands-on experiences in an REU. his work-in-progress paper describes the successful implementation of concept mapping as anTanalytical tool to measure student learning outcomes in the non-traditional learning environment of an REU. Furthermore, this paper describes a work in a current study to explore the development of research self-efficacy and engineering identity development of early career engineering students who participate in a 10-week interdisciplinary research experience and community-building activities through the Engineering Grand Challenges Scholars REUp rogram. This paper illustrates the key role of the
