such representations were not necessarily used tosupport children’s engineering design process (i.e., research question 2). For example, there werethree instances in which caregivers discussed why they do not want to be near water when it waslightening or use electrical devices near water. As stated by Amanda, “The crazy thing aboutwater is that it’s a huge conductor of electricity. And that’s why if you are ever doing anythingelectrical, you don’t want to be around water. Because if there is enough electricity, it will zzzz.”In this case, the information shared may be considered a spontaneous science moment [31], but itdid not impact the process and/or completion of the engineering task.

This approachhowever is not consistent with what are considered “best practices” of teacher professionaldevelopment17. Any professional development program is most effective when it relates to theparticipants’ professional activities. Teachers bring with them a diverse set of strategies forteaching and learning from their own professional experiences. A more interactive environmentthat provides teachers with opportunity for structured reflection and discussion with colleagues isneeded. A support-led rather than by package-led form of distance learning is necessary. TheVirtualMedibotics™ program has been designed to provide pre-defined web-based instructionwith

discusses several issuesrelated to mathematics education for engineers.I. IntroductionThe design of a new curriculum has led to the analysis of several related issues. Of particularimportance is the preparation in mathematics of engineering students and the creation of coursework in mathematics that better serves the needs of a sound and effective modern education fortoday’s students.The need to reform engineering education, particularly the mathematics content, stems fromseveral pressing issues. In recent years, close attention has been given to the desiredcharacteristics of engineering graduates and to their skill sets, leading to new accreditationrequirements from the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).

material. They are to determine as best as they can from the testing they perform. This means that a lab session must be reserved for students to perform part testing. • Once the students determine the type of material, they need to defend their decision with sound engineering logic and with the results of their testing. Their testing results are to be compared and matched to material data from matweb.com. Students were also graded on their ability to organize their data. • Students were to describe the type of failure the part underwent: impact, tensile, fatigue, compression, shear, creep, or vibration. Also, students were to determine whether the part suffered a brittle

motivating, leading, and communicating with workers. Academicprograms should develop their programs to promote the development of these skills in theirstudents.The construction industry is expanding its use of technologies on construction projects as awhole, and safety practices and management specifically. Technological skills are becomingmore important for new graduates looking to enter the industry. New hires should be familiarwith technologies in the following areas: design and jobsite visualization (e.g., BIM, VR,AR), mobile communication, wearable sensors, smart sensors, and the various productionequipment and technologies used on projects. Incorporation of these technologies intocoursework should be a priority for academic programs. Emphasis

startup performance. [17]Integrating multi-disciplinary entrepreneurship into engineering activities succeeds throughinterdisciplinary collaboration and student fellowship programs. Programs at Caltech [18] andMichigan [19] have shown that developing a culture of innovation in getting students from STEMbackgrounds to “think like an entrepreneur” is possible by combining extensive mentorship,educational resources, and experiential project work. While these efforts were undertaken for post-graduate STEM students looking to commercialize research innovations, the same ideas andstructures apply to undergraduate engineers in a co-curricular setting.This paper describes and assesses the impact of an entrepreneurial fellows program organized bythe Dyer
