design Another vital part of the design process is communicating the design. As mentionedalready, the teams write specifications documents, conduct weekly standups, participate informal design reviews, present to the industrial advisory board, and draft many engineeringdocuments. The “Quad Chart” [2] is yet another required communication product that the teams mustprepare, which is beneficial for both engineering presentations as well as presentations to non-engineers. This gives the students practice communicating with brevity and impact. Thematurity of this Quad chart evolves throughout the year as the project matures, and teams adjustit slightly for various audiences. Toward the end of their projects, the engineering

In addition to easing the burden oneducators trying to inspire the next generation of engineers, these strategies are based on bestknown practices to 1) retain students as populations across the United States decrease and changedemographically, and 2) to graduate engineers ready to tackle incredibly complex socialproblems.During this formative time in engineering education, the curriculum, interactions with facultyand peers, and course options give students insight into which skills are necessary and which aresupposedly optional for practicing engineers.

Culturalscripts of heterosexism and masculinity in engineering led to significant discomfort for the gaymen Hughes studied – while they felt a strong sense of belonging in the engineering community,the belonging was mediated by the experiences of silence and heterosexism in their engineeringspaces.

The development of self-efficacy relies on four key components [9]:  performance accomplishments: when individuals experience direct success;  vicarious learning: wherein learning results from observing successful peers perform tasks, also known as modeling;  verbal persuasion: led by verbal persuasion that an individual can perform a task; and  emotional arousal: anxiety filled situations can weaken confidence, therefore efforts to reduce anxiety is vital for strong self-efficacy.When all four components are addressed, teachers develop strong self-efficacy

Schrank’s study of artificial intelligence included a deep diveinto how the stories we tell relate to human memory and understanding [2]. Further, he notes thatboth the act of telling a story and the process of listening to someone else’s story shape thememories we have of our experiences.

Theiroutcomes were found similar to those of human tutoring on some restricted tasks. This may happenbecause of their embodiment, physical presence, which traditional teaching/learning technologiescannot provide.
