narratives shared by the four practitioners may provide insight on best practices to delivereffective, inclusive, and equitable educational content when virtual implementation is used as themethod of delivery in STEM programming for the historically excluded.LimitationsThe practices and methods discussed in this paper are subject to some limitations. The virtualprograms hosted by the practitioners were specifically designed for women students, faculty, andstaff, as well as racially and ethnically diverse middle school, high school and entering first yearcollege students. The paper reflects the experiences of four practitioners employed at the samehistorically White, tier 1 research institution in the Midwest during a single program year.Moreover

approach to problem-solving, innovation, and value creation” [4]. The KEENframework emphasizes three primary components of the entrepreneurial mindset: curiosity,connections, and creating value. Project-based learning in which students are given a specificaudience to understand and design for is one way in which students learn to create value withtheir technical skills. Projects with simulated or real-world applications also provide students theopportunity to practice situational curiosity [5].Effective science communication is particularly necessary in the process of commercializingtechnology. When engineers create goods and services that are to have a societal impact oraddress a need, it is crucial for their success that the value of these
CT in K-12 and higher education. From this effort, over 20different definitions and frameworks for CT have emerged. Although the availability of literatureon CT has been increasing over the last decade, there is limited research synthesis available onassessing CT better. Besides, it is known that in higher education designing assessments for CT ischallenging and one of the primary reasons is that the precise meaning of CT is still unknown.This research paper, therefore, presents a systematized literature review on CT frameworks andassessment practice. We search three different databases and review 19 journal articles that addressCT assessment in higher education to answer the following two research questions: 1) What doesthe literature

Thecourse, Harnessing Engineering Expertise in Industry, focused on exploring relevant literatureand methodological approaches for research tied to the central topics of expertise, knowledgecapture/loss, and organizational learning. The course’s development was discussed and exploredthrough the novel lens of Six Sigma’s six

During the study, librariansserved as a point of need for resources, mentors, and instructors during lab meetings. Thisapproach provided librarians with deep knowledge of their liaison area’s research practices, butwas limited in tracking how students, staff, and faculty responded to this exposure [12]. Outside of libraries, numerous studies have interrogated success and failures of specificengineering departments using user-centered models. Villanova University’s Engineeringprogram noted a comparatively high number of female graduates compared to the nationalaverage, and sought out students to help explain [13].

demonstrate thesequalities in addition to the ability to apply engineering to the design and analysis of systems andexperiments. Instead of adding more courses to satisfy ABET requirements, these criteria aremet by S-L projects in existing core courses. For example, having community partners on S-Lprojects essentially guarantees that students will work on multidisciplinary teams. With thecorrect structure of S-L projects, the students will examine the impacts of engineering solutionsin a societal context. Also, if S-L projects replace traditional analytical exercises in courses, theoverall workload will typically not increase for the students. If students are motivated to spendmore time on S-L projects, they are free to do so and should learn more in

freshmen need tocomplete an introductory assignment on Matlab, and some of the lab managers offer tutorialsoutside of class hours to guide students through the Matlab assignment. The freshmen also havea Thursday noon lecture series which introduces them to a variety of opportunities throughoutJohns Hopkins. Lab managers can present their research, study abroad trip, and/or design teamprojects at one of these lectures. Lab managers prepare slides for a short oral presentation, andtalk about the challenges and benefits of their experiences. In fact, the student-run Thursdaypresentations were rated significantly higher by the freshmen compared to the more formalpresentations by the Career Center, BME faculty, or other guests. Over 96% of the freshmen
have been implicitly doingthis for sometime, the focus on outcomes now requires it to become explicit.This new focus on student learning outcomes will have an impact on curriculum at the programlevel. The traditional way of building an engineering curriculum is based on providing afoundation in the sciences, adding engineering science and then introducing program subjectmatter with increasing levels of depth. A parallel process exists for skill development,particularly for acquiring the important engineering design skills. Here, one starts with freshmanexperiencing simple design processes. By the senior year, the student is expected to incorporate

University, SCAbstractIt is vital to guarantee that engineering graduates have learned essential skills required to excel ina dynamic technological landscape. Today the proliferation of low-cost, high-speed computingdevices offer opportunities for design and control of systems with varying levels of complexity.What this means in practice is that engineers increasingly need expert knowledge of variouscomputer systems and software. Computing expertise once considered arcane must now becomecommonplace. We develop a novel Machine Learning (ML) course, designed for allundergraduate engineering majors with appropriate programming and mathematics background,to take as an elective in their junior or senior year. The course introduces deep learning
