In 2009 I left a seven- year long career in industry—interrupted only by my time abroad earning a master’s in engineering—to become a full- time faculty member, mostly in pursuit of one goal: professional and personal fulfillment.

literacy development inthe program (i.e., meaningful engineering learning experiences). Engineering literacy consists ofthree dimensions which are Engineering Habits of Mind, Engineering Practices, EngineeringKnowledge. The three dimensions contain core and sub-concepts and the activities in Module 3will target specific engineering literacy concepts. The Engineering Performance Matrix will beused to measure students’ development progress of the targeted engineering literacy core andsub-concepts. Additionally, the EPM could also be used to inform us on the students’ self-efficacy; a positive performance could correlate with an increase in self-efficacy.IBM and STEM Career IntentionsTo measure the success of the intervention strategy in increasing

We did not answer questions about the instrument content and instead promptedparticipants to talk about any questions, confusions, assumptions, and hypotheses they had whiletaking the survey. We analyzed interview transcriptions using thematic analysis [26] with twomajor aims in mind: identifying necessary changes of the instrument and discovering preliminaryemerging themes about engineering undergraduate students’ opportunities to practice anddevelop professional skills.Table 1 Table 2Female-identifying student

in their first summer semester (summer 2020) due to COVID-19. It is therefore verypossible that the students who stopped engineering school from the fall 2019 cohort had differentreasons for withdrawing than those in the fall 2018 cohort. With this difference in mind, it is aninteresting finding that students’ perceptions of effort costs were the most significant predictor ofstudent persistence. Those who came into engineering school expecting it to require additionaleffort, when faced with the additional challenges and effort necessitated because of COVID-19restrictions, were more likely to leave than those who perceived lower effort costs.Although it is possible to conclude that our results did not replicate and therefore the lassomethod

The case being looked at is bounded by theparticipants (engineers and engineering interns), industry (Ag Tech start-ups), and location(Midwest US). It was a qualitative study since semi-structured interviews, held over zoom, wereused to collect the data. The interview questions were based on the resources listed in theWRICM model. Multiple questions were formed with each resource and the skills connected to itin mind. Participants were also asked about their background, degree programs, and how theywould describe their job. Two examples of questions that were asked in the interviews were“What personality

However, the field lacks specific tools to translate these aspirations to educational practices.A decade since the publication of the NGSS, exemplary engineering activities have yet to beidentified and published [26].Here, we propose a framework for explicitly connecting computational thinking practices withengineering design. We consider the three main phases of CT - problem decomposition,abstraction, and algorithmic thinking - and how these map to problem definition, needs finding,and solution generation in engineering design. With these analogs in mind we have developed acrosscutting framework that links NGSS goals with scientific inquiry, CT, and

The committee was comprised of the facultymember responsible for the freshman course within each department. While courses varied fromdiscipline to discipline, the main objectives for each course were to introduce students to thediscipline and to prepare them for success at UTA. The committee agreed that these, along withthe goal of creating and retaining a community of engineering students, should be the mainobjectives of any freshman course structure. With these objectives in mind, the committeeproceeded to examine the current structure of freshman

experiences outside of classrooms have an increasedinterest in STEM and a desire to pursue STEM careers [2]. Middle school years are prime years of career awareness, especially when students seeadults in STEM careers; it resonates with them and piques their interest [3,4]. Moreover, whenstudents engage in authentic hands-on activities and can see applications of STEM in their lives,it further motivates them to pursue STEM careers [3]. Therefore, keeping the research in mind,Introduction to Research and Innovative Design in Engineering (iRIDE) was initiated in thespring of 2019 for middle school students as an after-school extracurricular club followed by asummer academy to stimulate their interest in engineering.
