Community colleges are a vital part of the solution to broadeningparticipation in STEM fields; however, more evidence is needed about the impact of innovative,sustainable models for serving greater numbers of transfer students in high demand disciplines,such as technology, across pathways from community college to university.

This observation isin line with a 2020 National Academy of Engineering report [1] that sought to provide an answerto the question: “What will or should engineering education be like today, or in the near future,to prepare the next generation of students for effective engagement in the engineering professionin 2020?” The report indicates that first and foremost, engineering education must producetechnically excellent and innovative graduates. The challenge, however, is to equip thosetechnically competent graduates such that they are better prepared to work in a constantlychanging global economy.

due to a gap in skills such as communication and problem-solving [1]. Newlygraduated and employed engineers must be ready to engage in workplace learning as self-directed learners. This preparation must come from engineering learning experiences designed tohelp students transition from instructor-led learning (as is typical of pedagogy) to more self-directed learning (as is typical of adult learning or andragogy) across the curriculum [2].However, there is much fixation on pedagogical approaches and engineering science learning,wherein students work to solve predominately close-ended problems [3]. Andragogicalapproaches focus on students becoming self-directed individuals who rely on their bank ofknowledge and apply their skills to perform

Prince defines active learning as “any instructional method that engages the students in thelearning process.” [1] Many educational institutions were forced to conduct their classes onlinedue to COVID-19, at least at the start of the pandemic. This presented a problem for manyinstructors to maintain student interest in lab based courses for which students were unable toattend in person. As a result many labs were taught virtually or were simulated. For this reason,development of hands-on hardware-based projects or labs that do not require the students

The first lecture is about the half-angle method and the second lecture is about theprojection method. After the first lecture, participants in group A receive Problem 1, and participants ingroup B receive Problem 2. After the second lecture, the distribution is reversed. For problem 1, groupA is the control condition and group B is the experimental condition. For problem 2, group B is thecontrol condition and group A is the experimental condition.From this study, we have found that the time required to complete problems using the projection methodis significantly lower than the half-angle method even if the participants perceive both

program elements within that institutional framework. Finally, wediscuss some of the limitations of mindset surveys and propose an alternative method for makingmeaning of the impacts of entrepreneurial education on student mindsets.One of the challenges to forming a useful metric for assessing mindsets is that the stage ofanalysis is the internal cognitive processes one undergoes when analyzing situations,opportunities, or ideas for solutions. The graphic below (Figure 1) demonstrates this process.First one perceives the world around them, analyzes their options and contextualizes what theyare perceiving, and finally choose to take, or not take, entrepreneurial actions. We argue that theimportant part of this, as it relates to education, is the

This work in progress study seeks to explorewhat recruiters in industry, healthcare, and academia are looking for in BME graduates.

Teaching structural mechanics is traditionally delivered by a primarylecture component usually complemented by structural laboratory demonstrations. While thelecture component covers the theoretical concepts and derivations, the laboratory demonstrationsare known to improve the students’ understanding of the concepts through observation andexperimentation. Students often work with line drawings of members with idealized loadings andboundary conditions, but struggle to understand the dimensional reduction of load path (i.e. 3Dcombined loading reduced to member force effects) within a multi-story building systems [1, 2].Other shortcomings in traditional modes of teaching

IntroductionFlipped instruction is a student-centered, more-involved form of active learning that aims toincrease students learning and the quality of activities during the class period. The flippedclassroom is a relatively new pedagogical approach for student-centric learning. It is ushering in anew cohort of active learners. The pedagogical approach in a flipped classroom is based on outside-of-class video lectures and practice problems for homework, and active group-based activities inthe classroom [1].

Also, the tools were needed to conduct exams online with the surety of minimalplagiarism and conduct classes online, which were often integrated into the LMS [4].Although technology integration was the need of the hour, it had several drawbacks. Theseinclude: 1) the rapid integration was done without validating its effectiveness on variousfactors of students' learning or any alignment with the course content, assessment, andpedagogy [5]. 2) the rapid transition overlooked the preparation of faculty and students toadopt such tools and stay engaged. 3) the rapid

Positivism in science, which emerged during thewestern European Scientific Revolution of the seventeenth century, has been the prevalent tradition inwhich science and engineering have been portrayed in the classroom. In this positivistic perspective ofscience, empirical data and the scientific method are emphasized and science is presented as objective fact[1, 2]. As such, there is a long history of classroom science and engineering being taught with anemphasis on memorizing and churning out facts in addition to lab work where the solution is knownahead of time [2].The result of these pedagogical practices is the belief by students that science and engineering are staticbodies of knowledge
