In recent decades, workforce needs and theemployment landscape for STEM graduates has experienced fundamental changes in scale andscope. While the number of STEM-related jobs has risen significantly [1], [2] the range of STEMcareers has also expanded sharply [1], [2] . In the recent National Academies of Sciences,Engineering, and Medicine study report focused on Graduate STEM education for the 21st century[3], the authors observe that “Indeed, recent surveys of employers and graduates and studies ofgraduate education suggest that many graduate programs do not adequately prepare students totranslate their knowledge into impact in multiple careers.” In spite of the

That is, the school closures made us changethe way that we used Virtual Labs and necessitated us to modify the course delivery method sothat the lab courses could be performed fully online. Therefore, in this paper, we explained howthe transition took place in the aerospace structures lab for the use of Virtual Labs before, during,and after the COVID-19 school closures. Then, we discussed lessons learned during this period.This paper will be a useful reference for engineering educators who seek to implement orintegrate virtual technology into their pedagogy.1.

Incontrast, when we account for systemic inequities in organizations and society by critically examiningengineers’ careers in the aggregate, it is possible to gain insights into the “hidden curriculum”1 ofprofessional advancement. In this paper, we take the latter approach, adopting a critical secondaryanalysis of data originally collected for a project on situated workplace learning.

To add to this gap in literature, this paper analyzes quantitative responses of genderand sexual minority students’ perceptions of the engineering curricula from the survey conductedin 2018.Relevant LiteratureThe predominant normative marker of science and scientists in the U.S. has historically andcontinues to be based on White cisgender male perspectives [1]–[7]. Not surprisingly, thishomogenous and heterogenous perspective leads to pedagogical practices in which minoritizedstudents underperform compared to when innovative pedagogical models are used, such asflipped classrooms [8], [9]. This long-standing conceptualization of science and scientists alsoresults in an engineering curriculum that deems “issues of communication, justice

When building amodel, the most important question one should ask is, “What do I want from this model?”. DoI want to know when this model is going to fail? Do I want to demonstrate a behavior? Or is itsomething else? Based on the requirements, it is decided what type of models should be built.Some popular models are described below [1]: • Elastic Model: An elastic model usually is geometrically like the original but may be made of a different elastic material. This is a good model to study the elastic behavior but is not useful is predicting the plastic behavior. This model is usually built with plastics such as
