. Skills and knowledge become more and more closely tiedas the student learns to see the world using the epistemic frame of the profession. Examplesinclude capstone design courses in undergraduate engineering programs, medical internships andresidencies, or almost any graduate program in STEM disciplines. Prior work has also shownthat epistemic games—learning environments where students game-play to develop the epistemicframe of a profession—increases students’ understanding of and interest in the profession3-5. In this paper, we present a detailed description of the virtual internship, the important role ofthe design advisors/mentors in the simulation, and preliminary results of the first semester ofNephrotex.

Furthermore,students exiting the new courses emphasizing mechanics-materials links will be tracked in othermechanics courses with regard to their performance, percentage of students using such principlesin capstone design projects, undergraduate research, and percentage of students pursing graduatestudies in the area of mechanics and materials. Thus, the total impact of the developedcurriculum will be known clearly over a span of about 4-5 years.5.

For example, some may choose touse the capstone design process as their primary focus of their assessment process, while othersmay use the Fundamentals of Engineering examination, an in-house developed comprehensiveexamination, a set of core courses, or a portfolio of artifacts. The complexity caused by thisrange of choices is compounded by the multiplicity of ways of judging the artifacts, which mayrange from objective scoring schemes to subjective scoring schemes such as rubrics. Thedevelopment of scoring rubrics can also compound the complexity because of the possibility ofusing holistic

This camp involved work with students who identified asbeing African American/Black Asian, Hispanic/Latinx, and/or mixed races. The majority ofparticipants self-identified as Black and only one student as white. These students wereimmersed in a week-long experience wherein they toured campus facilities, spoke with industryprofessionals, toured local engineering companies, and completed hands-on STEM andcommunication activities.

desire to solve problems can be used to create value for others. Groups likeKEEN have been supporting and encouraging EML in engineering education, with thepublication of the “The KEEN Framework” that includes examples of student outcomesassociated with entrepreneurial mindset [6]. Most often, these EML outcomes are incorporatedinto first year and capstone courses that emphasize the engineering design process. Courses, suchas statics, dynamics, and thermodynamics, make less frequent use of EML, possibly becauseinstructors feel like they do not have enough class time to include these elements. The aim of the“Clippers Worth the Cost” activity is to incorporate EML with course content in such a way thatstudents’ experience with the content is more

Most institutions, so identified, changed their programs byeliminating free electives in favor of electives or required courses having design content.

they have installed the student version of Matlab. Many of them have done that. Feedback about the lab from students, including official course evaluations, has been almostuniformly positive, which we attribute largely to the fact that many students consider the Arduinoto be something like state-of-the-art, want to know more about it, and feel that this lab gives themgood exposure to it. Another major factor in student satisfaction is that on the relatively rareoccasions when technical problems do arise, they are fairly easy to understand and to fix. Severalstudents have gone on to use the Arduino in other projects, such as Senior Capstone projects.References[1] D. Wilcher, “Physical Computing and DC Motor Control” in Learn Electronics
