. Byunderstanding the cultural dimensions, we will be able to develop pedagogies that allowbetter collaboration between engineers and architects to improve communication,reducing conflicts and helping to have a more productive work environment in thefuture.BackgroundTo guide this study, we used the cultural dimensions model of Hofstede, who based hisresearch on a survey of IBM employees in more than forty countries in 1966 [18], [19].To characterize the cultural traits of different societies. [1], [11]. For Hofstede, cultureis defined as the collective propagation of the mind, which manifests itself not only invalues but also in more superficial forms [19]. Hofstede introduced the concept ofdimensions of culture by investigating the philosophical
construction because they want to help others. Programssuch as Habitat for Humanity and other programs that benefit the community must behighlighted when recruiting women, therefore this should be considered as we seekimprovements related to student perceptions of the classroom environment, learning satisfaction,and sense of belonging.At the 2021 ASEE virtual conference, Asgarpoor et al. [14] proposed that it is the obligation ofengineering leadership educators to consider that our role extends beyond the transmission oftechnical knowledge and that it is our responsibility to help engineering students develop agrowth mindset and discover the sophistication of mind to celebrate diversity, equity, andinclusion in their daily lives, school, and workplace

2011NRC report from the Workshop on Computational Thinking, it was noted that CT is crucial tothe development of engineering habits of mind and in solving engineering problems [9].Therefore, given the cross-disciplinary nature of CT and engineering and the reality for teachersto address current educational reforms, both CT and engineering provide avenues for thinkingabout STEM integration and the successful integration of both engineering and CT intoclassrooms [10], [11]. Within the work on elementary engineering instruction, research has found that whenlearning engineering, students need opportunities to learn from failure, work in teams, practiceall phases of the engineering design process, and apply their mathematics and

help transition engineersdevelop into ethical and equity-minded professionals while adapting successfully to theirchanging roles and responsibilities, we need to understand how early career engineers experienceand perceive issues related to ethics and equity in their workplace. This understanding will allowfor the development of a comprehensive educational curriculum, professional developmentinitiatives, and leadership skills, for personal and professional growth. This study presents the findings from research carried out by interviewing 13 early careerengineers from diverse engineering disciplines across North America, delving into theireducational backgrounds, current work projects, and challenges related to professional ethics

audiences. University engineeringprograms can fill this gap to promote their educational programs to youths in their regions. Theycan begin to integrate skill development with their outreach sessions to promote desiredengineering skills, or habits of mind, such as problem solving, collaboration, creativity,communication, ethical considerations, innovative thinking, etc. [3]. Recognizing the importanceof this preparation, the College of Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno coordinatedsummer camp programming for middle and high school students to introduce them toengineering disciplines and get them excited about pursuing an education in this field. TheCollege of Engineering summer camp program primarily focused on exposing students
students feel valued and respected. This includes active learning style classroom activities to foster open and respectful discussions [16 - 18], encouraging active participation from all students, and being mindful of cultural sensitivity and bias in engineering classrooms. • Curriculum Development: Ensuring that the course curriculum is inclusive and reflects the diverse perspectives and experiences of all students [19] through incorporating diverse case studies, examples, and readings into course materials including lectures and design challenges. • Student Recruitment: Active recruitment of a diverse student body to participate in the course, including students from underrepresented groups in
shared understanding of the project’s goals and objectives.This can be beneficial for teams as it helps them to work together more effectively and efficiently.MotivationsWith this deficit gap in mind, the authors have taken an interdepartmental cross-functional approachteach cross functional communication and collaboration to Software Engineering, with the focusbeing on communication with teams that are not within the software development collective, andimportantly are part of a distributed (not on site) organization. While cross- functional collaborationand communication between departments is not new to the teaching of software engineering. Theapproach outlined in this paper is unique in that the focus is on distributed team-based learning

that both studentsand mentors perceive the mentorship process to be highly beneficial.introductionMost engineers will begin their careers in an established company, eschewing the risks ofstarting a new business. However, the rapidly changing technology paradigm favors companiesthat bring new and sometimes transformative concepts to market. Companies especially needentrepreneurial-minded engineers who will drive change to make this possible. This is alsoevidenced by many established companies creating infrastructure to build internal “startups”.The Tech Intrapreneurs Program (TIP) is designed to produce intrapreneurs, people that areentrepreneurial within an existing company.

Implementation of Industry-Inspired Project Management Elements in an Entrepreneurial Capstone SequenceAbstractThis paper explores the implementation of project management elements (PME) in a three-semester capstone course sequence. Following an entrepreneurial model, multidisciplinary teamsof four or five students work on an engineering project of their choice, which involves design,fabrication, and testing. Teams are required to submit weekly PME designed based on an agileworkflow. These submissions include weekly individual reports and team meeting minutes,documents similar to those that students can expect to use as working professionals or to managetheir projects as part of an entrepreneurial start-up
