complex nature of engineering problemsis the requirement to utilize multiple forms of reasoning, including intuition, to effectively solvethem.Common expectations of engineering graduates focus on the ability to solve open-ended,complex problems and incorporate intuitive reasoning in their problem-solving processes. Forexample, a recent revision of the undergraduate student outcomes by the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) outlines an expectation for the modern engineer to solveengineering problems within dynamic contexts. This is present in the language of three of theseven ABET Student Outcomes proposed for the 2019-20 accreditation year, either implicitly asthe application of design situated in complex social systems or

In addition, students get a chance to see andexperience the greater community to which they belong. Through S-L, engineering students

exploration of: 1) race, gender, and identity and 2) computer science education research in order to inform pedagogical practices that garner interest and retain women and minorities in computer-related engineering fields.Jasmine Skye Batten, Florida International University Jasmine Batten is an undergraduate computer science education researcher whose goal is to earn her PhD in computer science and become a professor. She is interested in improving women’s retention in com- puter science by researching different pedagogical techniques including active learning and gamification and their effects on women. She will graduate from Florida International University in August 2019 with her BS in computer science

Our findings demonstrate that, at least with these toolsand pedagogy, it is feasible to develop an introductory MSE course based around atomisticcomputational models and for the large majority of students to have very positive experienceswith it, both in terms of engagement and perceived learning.8.

solution (Kelly & Cunningham, 2019; NRC, 2012).Sensemaking starts with a recognition that there is something puzzling that needs to beexplained, such as an unusual observation, a conflict between ideas, or a gap in an existingexplanation (Odden & Russ, 2018). In engineering design, this starting point can be anunexpected design performance or competing explanations about how and why a design works.Engineering students then recruit resources, both from their everyday experiences and moreformal knowledge, to make new connections and build a coherent, explanatory account. Giventhe interdisciplinary nature of engineering, designers need to draw on diverse conceptual,material, and experiential resources to develop explanations (Dym et al., 2005

1950s, the ASEE chartered a committee to “...recommend patterns that engineeringeducation should take in order to keep pace with the rapid developments in science andtechnology and to educate men who will be competent to serve the needs of and provide theleadership for the engineering profession over the next quarter centry.” [11] Keyrecommendations were made related to providing more emphasis on the basic sciences such asmathematics, chemistry and physics, as it was concluded that engineering graduates were toopractically oriented without sufficient training to solve problems by referring to first principles[12]. In 1965, ASEE reported that in the period since 1945, engineering science was at the centerof every engineering school that planned

. It was designed as an outreach project for the Society ofWomen Engineers university organization. The goal was to expose middle and high schoolstudents to engineering, so they consider pursuing engineering in college.In 2008 EPIC evolved to both day and residential programs and was offered for three weeksserving 300 students. This gave out of state students the opportunity to participate. The cost of theresidential program was $1,400 for one week.Then, from 2017 to 2019, EPIC went to a full residential program as the demand for theresidential program increased and the day program decreased. EPIC again grew in size servingover 700 6th-12th grade students. Participants expanded to include out of state and out of thecountry students. The cost
