Among thoserecipients, we intentionally included multiple school sizes, and both private and publicinstitutions as well as 4-year and community colleges.The group of 34 experts initially signed up to be a part of our study. We then asked them to take aquick survey on the focus of the CS2 course that they were involved in (focus area meant that atleast 60% of the course was spent on that area). We had identified 3 versions of CS2: one whichtaught students to use existing data structures from libraries (Application-focused CS2), one

However, the 4th-year graduation ratefor engineering students is only 12%.

Many critiques are based on outdated stereotypes: a 2016 surveyrevealed that 40% of parents did not see manufacturing as a good-paying employment choice fortheir children; 50% did not see manufacturing as an exciting, challenging, or engaging career [1].Even more troubling is the underrepresentation of women and minorities in manufacturing. Thisunderrepresentation is even more dramatic in rural

approach towards broaderparticipation. The engineering education community needs to recognize the often-neglectedstakeholder group of school counselors and the pivotal role counselors play in students’ careerpathways.Introduction There are several Interventions aimed at counselors in supporting STEM broaderparticipation (Falco & Summers, 2019; reference redacted; Shillingford et al. 2017). Such effortsare complemented by studies that document the need to broaden participation and identify arole for or place an emphasis on school counselor interactions with students in shaping theirfuture decisions within STEM, particularly a desire to persist within STEM (Aschbacher et al.2010; Grossman & Porsche, 2014).

pedagogical strategies translate acrosscultural contexts (Mtika & Gates, 2010; Smith-Keiling, 2019). We know that both learners’engagement and educators’ pedagogical beliefs are shaped by their social, historical, and culturalknowledge (Schweisfurth, 2015); however, currently, there is a limited understanding aboutwhich aspects of AL are replicable across contexts and which aspects may be highly context-dependent. While much exploration remains, current research suggests that factors such aslanguage, cultural context, teacher beliefs, student learner, teacher-learner relations, andcurricular structure influence the implementation of active learning strategies (Ramnarain &Hlatswayo, 2018; Mtitu, 2014). Therefore, to support educators and

One course is for junior students (Reactive processengineering) and two courses are capstone courses for senior students (System Engineering I:Dynamics and Modeling, and Systems Engineering II: Process Design). These are three out ofthe six “Pillar” courses that provide the backbone for the chemical engineering curriculum at theUniversity of Pittsburgh (McCarthy and Parker 2011). They are all five credit courses each withsix hours/week of lecturing and a two hours/week recitation. The first two courses arecomplemented with a

-arounds. Thepurpose in sharing this experience is to inform other instructors of how easy this is to implementin these two solid mechanics courses and to inspire other instructors to create their own teachingtools. Because solid modeling is almost universally being taught to engineers in lieu of thetraditional drafting and 2D CAD and because 3D printers are common in maker-spaces anddesign labs, creating these or similar learning tools is easily done by instructors or students aspart of a class project. These pass-arounds and others like it can be used instead of expensiveinstructional aids from commercial vendors.II.
