Instead of diving deep intocomplex mathematics or programming, the module emphasizes the use of accessible AI tools, such ascomputer vision (CV), natural language processing (NLP), and reinforcement learning (RL), to solveengineering problems. By embedding the module into the robotics curriculum, students gain hands-onexperience applying AI to real-world challenges, preparing them for AI-driven roles in engineering. Thispaper details the design and implementation of the module, explores the challenges of adapting AIeducation for MET students, and discusses strategies to bridge gaps in their technical knowledge.

Finally, we willend the paper with a set of recommendations for future leaders and young STEMinists looking tomake a difference.So let’s get started and learn more about the initiative we founded, ran, and learned from –Sisters in STEM. The Sisters in STEM (SIS) program was launched in fall of 2018 as a response to theunexpected cancellation of an annual Girl Power event hosted by a local community college.Three young women leaders in FRC Robotics approached Saguaro High School’s leadershipwith a plan: Create a separate event, encompassing all STEM disciplines, to provide an outreachvenue for young girls in the Scottsdale and surrounding regions. With 3 weeks to plan, thefounders developed a suite of age

choice actions. Choice goals have been defined as “the typeof activity or career one wishes to pursue and performance goals as the level or quality ofperformance one plans to achieve within a given task or domain” [3]. Furthermore, as studentsestablish a set of beliefs about the consequences related to an engineering degree, they begin todevelop goals directed towards these outcomes and formulate a plan to achieve their goals [4].Using the SCCT model as a guiding theoretical framework, this study seeks to understand how aprofessional networking intervention in a first-year Introduction to Engineering course affects astudent’s engineering outcome expectations and their engineering choice goals.MethodologyAs part of a first-year general

We expect to invitean external reviewer from similar program and concentration to review our curriculum progress and provide usfeedback. In addition, we plan to monitor the enrollment numbers to see if it reflects what the market study shows.The expected enrollment is 50-60 students and gradually increasing. The committee will continue to meet at leastonce or twice in a semester to follow the progress of the proposed concentration. Once the concentration is approvedunder the general ETEC program, the department plans to apply for Accreditation Board for Engineering andTechnology, Inc

The one-on-one feedbackwas either given by the instructor of record or the graduate teaching assistant who had both ascience and technical writing background. The students then rewrote and submitted a finalversion of the section. This process was repeated for each scientific section covered by thecourse. Each course taken by Group A (FA22, SP23) covered different writing sections(Biomechanics: Methods, Results, Graphs, Tables, and Discussion; Biomaterials: Abstracts,Introductions, Hypothesis Formulation, and References).

Unfortunately, not every card is a useful resource for adaptation. Some cardslack details or additional uploads of lesson plans, leaving readers looking for more information.Other cards lack clear indications of what the activity entails, or how much time it will take.Additionally cards can be thoroughly well documented, but may be less adaptable because theycontain too much information. As an example, many cards provide details on an entire coursethat has been modified to meet some of the entrepreneurial mindset competencies.
