The research findings are as following: (1) Thecommonness of programs’ schemes is emerging. In terms of mechanismconstruction, the mechanism of collaborative education receives the most attention,while the cultivation of soft ability and engineering innovation ability are focusedmost in terms of the talent ability; (2) Most of the construction plans are aimed atthe transformation of traditional disciplines, and there is little construction ofcorresponding disciplines for national key industries such as energy conservation,environmental protection and new materials; (3) The overall design of

However, for its ability todemonstrate theoretical concepts [5], educational robotics (ER) has already been expanded intovarious forms serving K-12 students both in and out of the classroom. This expansion aims todiversify stagnant college STEM majors where misperceptions of difficulty has dissuaded manyfrom participating [1]. This literature review examines how ER can (1) broadly motivatestudents’ interests in STEM; (2) provide contextual and practical backing for otherwise abstractSTEM topics; (3) facilitate learning STEM through robotics competitions; (4) help increaselearning in students with disabilities; (5) boost STEM engagement by women and otherunderrepresented minorities and (6) incorporate

These programs have been highly successful in building a diverse STEMworkforce. Programs and curricula have been developed on a case-by-case basis based on eachinstitution’s priorities. With broader implementation of programs that explicitly benefit URMstudents, diversity and inclusion should not be simply a mechanism to increase the number ofURM students, but a catalyst for institutional change. However, the flexibility and uniqueness ofprograms can present challenges. Without outside funding, implementation of these programscan be prohibitively expensive. In

Course: An Entrepreneurial Mindset SimulationIntroductionTeamwork is essential to engineering work, and the assumption is that greater team dynamicswill lead to greater innovation outcomes. When entrepreneurs pitch their ideas to angel investorsor venture capitalists, one of the top considerations is the quality of team dynamics [1, p.244],[2]. In addition, technological innovation and entrepreneurship have been promoted as“fundamental drivers of American prosperity and global economic leadership” [3, p.1]. Capstoneprojects, for example, can be essential opportunities to prepare engineering students to beinnovative and entrepreneurial in order to succeed in a globally competitive workforce [3, p.3].Research is extensive

We hypothesized that as students acquired greater engineeringknowledge and were exposed to greater use of metacognitive thinking and strategies that focusedon that knowledge across their education at IRE, the sequencing of their utterances wouldindicate the following differences from the pre to the post problem: (1) greater sustained use of engineering knowledge when solving the post problem; (2) increased metacognitive monitoring occurring before and after the use of engineering knowledge on the post problem; (3

Dewey referred to art as an experience between the artist, the work of art and its observer[1]. Each time an observer looks at Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, a new Mona Lisa is born. Art is acontinuum from the germination of an idea to the culmination of a complex creation in its supremeform. Aesthetics is a common thread in this process which is essentially a process of the

In particular, engagement in co-curricular settings, or experiences outside theclassroom, has been linked to the development of several technical and professional outcomesfor engineering students such as leadership, ethical decision making, teamwork, andcommunication [4]–[9].
