projectare to improve engineering students’ sketching skills and to study the implications of learning tosketch in the context of idea generation, creativity, and engineering design self-efficacy.Figure 1: a. (left) SketchTivity lessons page. b. (right) Sketch recognition feedback.SketchTivitySketchTivity is an intelligent tutoring application which teaches students perspective sketchingthrough a progression of lessons [8]. Lessons start with basics of lines and 2-dimensional arcs,squares, circles, and ellipses. Students then learn principles of 1-point and 2-point perspectivesketching. Primitives are then sketched in perspective as cubes, cylinders, cones, and spheres [9].Each lesson begins with an instructional video and an explanation of the
guest speakersconsisted of three panel discussions and five stand-alone presentations, including two guestspeakers associated with NASA and the Texas General Land Office. The three paneldiscussions invited guests from different career stages as follows: (a) a recent winning seniordesign team from in TAMUK COE, (b) early career professionals, and (c) seasonedengineers. Each panel had five to six speakers. With stand-alone presentations and paneldiscussions, a total of 19 industry professionals participated in the SBP, thirteen of whomwere Hispanic and seven of whom were female, two categories of individuals who areunderrepresented in engineering [16, 17]. Guest speaker diversity was a program priority,since a high percentage of participants were

Lungs trapped in plastic bottles: This was the concept art that stood out the most to all team members; kinetic lungs hanging inside a large model of a plastic bottle. The proposed design can be seen in Figure 2. This seemingly simplistic concept was quite unique with respect to the message the art students wanted this design to convey. For proper functioning of the lungs, humans need a clean and constant intake of oxygen. However, inhaling the microplastics in the environment damages the lung tissues limiting the lungs

the objective to develop future collaborative research proposals.Application and selection processThe participants were selected from TAMU, NCAT, and UNLV. Although applications receivedfrom relevant engineering majors were considered desirable, those from other STEM disciplineswith a close relationship to big data were also reviewed. The NSF's application submission andmanagement system were kept on a dedicated website(https://www.nsfetap.org/award/103/opportunity/105). Students needed to meet the followingrequirements to be considered: (a) have an interest in conducting applied research; (b) bemajoring in engineering, engineering technology, statistics, or a closely related field; (c) bejunior or senior in the upcoming Fall semester/quarter
thecertificate, both undergraduate and graduate students are required to attend 6 standards-relatedseminars. The seminar series is described later in this paper.Other requirements for undergraduate students include: • Completing a total of 12 credits (4 lecture courses or a combination of lectures and labs) with a grade of “B” or better in each course. The certificate courses may be selected from a list of MEEN, CEEN, and AEEN courses. • Completing a senior capstone project that has a significant component focused on standards.Graduate student requirements are similar with the following differences: • Completing a total of 9 credits (3 courses) with a grade of “B” or better in each course. The certificate courses are
presented in the class.Attendance: Zoom Usage ReportsIn the 2021 summer program, attendance was taken manually using an Excel spreadsheet,although, attendance was not included as part of the final course grades. However, for2022, Zoom Usage Reports was implemented, and attendance points were assigned the followinggrades based on the amount of time students spent in each Zoom session: A (3 Points): 46-60 min B (2 Points): 31-45 min C (1 Point): 16-30 min F (0 Points): 0-15 minMoreover, an extra point was deducted for students who left the Zoom Meeting just before aBreakout Session or participation-based class activities.Advantages • Zoom Usage Reports (Figure 2) were automatically recorded on the LSU Cloud server.

Overall, there is a highlevel of enthusiasm for the Clinical Needs and Observations course itself, with studentsspecifically identifying excitement for the opportunities to speak with clinical professionals andgain an understanding of the role engineers can play in clinical settings. The results of Question1 are displayed in Figure 1 (A). This question primarily served to quantify students’ confidenceas related to medical device design and real-world implementation. Before completion of thecourse, only 9.1% of students strongly agreed with the statement. During the secondadministration of the survey, 22.7% of students strongly agreed.
