Many of the lessons from theold courses still have much value and prepare students for the activities in their other courses, inparticular, the ChE material & energy balances course. Achieving this objective has an obviousbeneficial long-term impact.“Symbolic Computing” is of immediate utility in the students’ math courses. They also makeuse of this in their science and engineering courses. It is common for students to check theirmanual work using the computer. A byproduct lesson learned is that not all equations or systemsof equations have analytical solutions [not obvious to

Thus, although the SWE members designed and ran the workshops, the faculty advisor worked as a mentor throughout the process. She is a Girl Scout leader herself and has run similar programs for Girl Scouts in the past. Her experience was very valuable in advising the college women. Other professors and women from industry additionally worked with SWE members and the Girl Scouts during the workshops. However, perhaps the most important part of the mentoring was the peer mentoring between the SWE members as they worked closely together planning and

While few individuals may existas entrepreneurial leaders, those few rise as internal organizational advocates and stars.The author argues that these dimensions extend from observable behaviors and responses in faceto face interactions (interviews, workplace meetings, day to day practice) to attitudinalreflections. It is important to note that while research has considered the more general categoryof the entrepreneur on situational success, research has rarely examined the unique role of

These companies don’t typically know that they want these elaborate proposals, but the author has found success in the justification of a significant discount from a business standpoint. There were several times along the path that competitors were competing to award a discount or even donate a product to the laboratory after their management understood the position that this put them in with our students. 2. Repurposing equipment is an important lesson. One electrical control box in the laboratory would have cost $12,000 - $15,000 if it was purchased from a supplier. Instead an old robot control

argumentation asone of its core practices in science and engineering education that should be developedthroughout primary and secondary school education. The National Research Council (NRC)wrote that “In engineering, reasoning and argument are essential to finding the best possiblesolution to a problem…. [S]tudents should argue for the explanations they construct, defend theirinterpretations of the associated data, and advocate for the designs they propose” [10, pp. 72-73].The NGSS specifically included engaging in argument and constructing explanations supportedby evidence in its middle and high school engineering design standards [1].

Due to the data science focusof this re-designed course, this project is focused on sociotechnical literacy in three dimensions:bias, differential impacts, and responsibility. As described in the paragraphs below, thesedimensions include both content knowledge and skills. For example, if students aresociotechnically literate along the bias dimension, they will be able to: identify potential sourcesof bias in a dataset or algorithm, computationally analyze the effect of that bias, and proposeways to remove or correct for that bias.BiasIn the bias dimension, sociotechnically literate students recognize no data set, algorithm, ortechnology
