Whether it be performance arts like theatre andmusic, or be it a laboratory setting like physics or biology, student performance can beeffectively accentuated by adopting creative instructional lesson plans (Baxter-Magolda, 1992).Furthermore, many of our educational institutions have tried to move away from emphasizing theestablishment of a strong knowledge base (Young and Young, 1999). In other words, one cansay that declarative learning should only be a part of the learning process. It is important torecognize the fact that the discovery approach is gaining prominence day by day.Instructional Modules

The purpose of this survey is to gaugethe opinions of faculty members and students on the points raised in this paper.Summary, Conclusions and Recommendations:The issue of mathematicians and scientists teaching engineering courses was analyzed.

In the midterm presentation, students present their progress todate, share challenges they faced and how they tackled them, and describe their plan for the restof the semester. However, final presentations, usually a week before the capstone conference,allow teams to practice their presentation skills for the big conference day and receive feedbackfrom their peers and the instructor.Roles of the Course Instructor and Technical AdvisorTimely and effective communication is key to the success of each capstone design project.

This is definedas "a student's beliefs in his/her ability to organize and execute courses of action required toproduce certain accomplishments, concerning the aspects comprised by academic taskspertinent to higher education" [3]. Academic self-efficacy beliefs can assist the student in planning to use the personal andenvironmental resources necessary to adjust to university. In addition, it can lead the studentto a sharper perception of his or her ability to organize and execute actions necessary to achieveincreasingly adequate levels of academic achievement and adjustment to the universityenvironment, affecting the individual's choices and perseverance [4].

We rated stakeholder awarenessaccording to the rubric which rates a respondent’s ability to identify stakeholders across the groupcategories and the nature of engagement with the stakeholder.The results show that most of the participants (approx. 90%) scored high identifying more than one groupof stakeholders. However, a lower percentage (35%) of participants talked about collaborative interactionwith the different stakeholders and had trouble describing the process of planning a response to the problem.This study is contributing to laying out the foundation of our overarching project in which we are seekingto develop teaching content that focuses on systems thinking skills by providing a solid understanding ofthe current systems thinking

Multilingual Board GameIntroductionSerious games are a category of games that are often used in education to provide access tocomplex systems. In past research and curriculum development, engineering teachers haveimplemented curriculum around STEM-focused games [1], such as for urban planning [2],transportation engineering [1], chemistry education [3] and computational thinking [4]. Due tothe increased interactive engagement of games compared to lecture [5], [6], [7], engineeringeducators have utilized games to positively impact students' learning. However, theseeducational games are often only available in English. Students whose first language (L1) is notEnglish may be limited in how they present their ideas to peers in these playful spaces

By the time we began collecting data on housing issues inNorthern Alaska, over 20 homes had been built in the region using the method. Stories andidiomatic references to the system emerged early in our research, and most emphasized the valueof this system, including how it might be extended to other settings.

According to respondents, students are overloaded with work, family, and school, so theymust prioritize their focus day-to-day. They feel like they could always be doing more, and theyreported very little time available for decompression and relaxation. Students who also had towork part-time jobs felt even more stressed and were more likely to take advantage of recordedlectures and office hours when they were working more hours.

Thus, effective and sustainabletransformation starts with training and instilling positive values among educators whileensuring an institutional ecosystem to promote quality engineering education for excellence inthe 21st century. Educators are the frontlines and critical resources for higher education institutions (HEI)towards delivering quality education to their nations. Today’s educators are needed to be moreresponsible in better preparing graduates for the 21st century, which requires them to solveproblems using technology and apply higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) to solve complexproblems. Therefore, educator readiness is a significant factor in meeting 21st-centurychallenges. Planning talents

Requirements in hackathons were often only verbal, or toassist with future integrations between sub-teams. Diagramming was rarely used, except in thecase of participant Frankie, who now uses simplified diagramming to create a plan of action forhe and his team if they have an idea for a hackathon project upon arrival. It appeared that theparticipants had a toolset of software processes to leverage at any given time but chose how andto what extent to use those tools depending on the project and the expectations of the project thatthey were working on.Discussion and ImplicationsAdaptive ExpertiseAccording to Schwartz et al.

acrossthe country and around the world. Unfortunately, these historical and often treasured campusstructures can inadvertently serve to degrade a feeling of “belongedness” in members ofhistorically marginalized and under-represented groups.[1, 2] In fact, this degradedbelongedness in groups is often directly contradicted by the welcoming aspects of theuniversity’s recruiting materials (carefully staged with a quota appropriate number of women,African-Americans, Latinx, etc.) and the objectives of many university strategic plans. Whattools do we have in academia to examine these issues and find appropriate responses? To respond to the above issues (and many others), institutions of higher learning areseeking options to address these issues
].”ProcessThe current equity-centered effort at the University of Michigan’s College of Engineering (CoE)began coalescing during a 5-year DEI strategic plan, which was launched in 2015. During thesummer of 2020, however, the experiences of the “double” pandemic [24] accentuated theurgency of implementing the plan. As a result, the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education(ADUE) formed a committee to plan, socialize, iterate, and execute on a race and ethnicityprogram for CoE undergraduate students. The committee members included students, faculty,staff and administrative leaders from the CoE with a variety of identities (white, black, brown,male, and female) and expertise (engineering, social justice, pedagogy, and instructional design).Some of the
