field of microelectronics, 77% of manufacturers polled in 2018 byDeloitte cited talent shortages as a major concern. There is a critical need to develop strategies totrain and retain workers to satisfy industry demands. One challenge to meeting the educationaldemand is that niche topics within microelectronics, such as radiation hardening andheterogeneous integration & advanced packaging, are relegated to upper-level courses if taughtat all [1]. Before they reach these upper-level courses, students often have had internships orco-ops and considered areas of specialization. Thus, students have likely decided on a career pathlong before they have awareness of the existence of the high need areas in microelectronics.The goal of this study was

This work-in-progress study explores cognitivepsychology-based methods to teach mechanical engineering design courses effectively andinclusively for a diverse body of students regardless of their backgrounds. The theoreticalfoundation for this course design are two seminal theories of cognitive psychology: deliberatepractice (DP) [1], and preparation for future learning (PFL) [2]. Deliberate practice theory, asdescribed by Ericsson is used for development of competency in many different fields (e.g. sport,musics, physics, etc.). PFL has shown how a prior learning activity that prepares the learner canenhance learning from

As a hallmark of most AE degree programs, the capstone experience [3]has been established as the positive result of both industry pressure and ABET requirements [4].A capstone design course delivers authentic engineering design experience [1, 5-7]. Capstonesallow upper-division students to showcase their knowledge in a practical way through designdevelopment of construction projects like those designed by AEC firms.As perhaps an AE curriculum’s most visible attribute [8], capstone design courses deserve acontinued sense of importance as students strive to conclude their academic experience and

female engineering students in WIEP programs can contribute to higherCOE graduation rates.IntroductionThe gender gap in undergraduate engineering programs in the United States is stubborn andpersistent. In 2000, 20.5% of engineering bachelor’s degrees were earned by females and over thecourse of two decades, that percentage increased just slightly to 22.7% in 2019 [1]. In roughly thissame period, the percentage of women in the engineering workforce increased from 10% in 1999to 16.1% in 2019 [2].There exists a plethora of research identifying the challenges and barriers to women enteringengineering fields that start in early elementary school and exacerbate as students continue throughmiddle and secondary school.

These forms ofcommunication include sketches, diagrams, and models [3]. Moreover, successful teams are aptto share mental models, or shared knowledge structures that allow a team to coordinate actionsand adapt their behaviors [4], influencing both design product and design process [5][6].
