SHPE’s Virtual STEM Labs: Engaging and inspiring Hispanic youth to pursue STEM degrees and careers.Background/MotivationSolving the world’s most pressing and complex issues, including the recent pandemic, climateand environmental challenges, and sustainable economic development, is dependent on scientificinnovation. This need is reflected in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics(STEM) occupation growth which has increased 79% since 1990 and is projected to grow by10.8 percent by 2031 [1]. To meet these labor market demands, the United States hasconsistently invested over $500 million dollars in STEM education specifically since 2019 withan emphasis on programs that increase participation of

His research interests include application of text mining and machine learning methods to analyze real- world data. Currently, he is studying learner experiences in online courses by applying text mining ap- proaches on user generated data such as discussion forums and open-ended feedback. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 An Analysis of Participation in Discussion Forums on Two Different MOOC PlatformsAbstractIn massive open online courses (MOOCs), discussion forums are used to facilitate
content, choose theirconduct and are creative possess ways of knowing and being that move beyond the objectives ofone subject or profession. Lapachelle and Cunningham [5] point to the flexibility of theengineering design process as a possible nonlinear, open-ended learning cycle that may berevisited to rethink, discuss, and formulate new solutions, a quality shared by both the studiohabits of mind and Positive Technological Development. While these skills are learned through apractice and immersion in processes which are often subject-centered these behaviors andpractices hold greater potential for the individual learner than the subject learning alone. Our preliminary research indicates correlation of the engineering design process and

Therefore, students areoften unaware of the technological contributions that have and can be made through the study ofengineering. With the implementation of this program, the initiative will make a lasting impression onthe participants. The Early Engineering Experience aims to foster interest

Based on these surveys and student comments, weare confident that the middle school girls understand more of what an engineer does and can seethemselves as future engineers.Introduction Page 24.514.2 While traditional Western cultural assumptions view engineering as a masculine domain,historian of technology Ruth Oldenziel reminds us that “[t]here is nothing inherently or naturallymasculine about technology.”3 Rather, Oldenziel traces the historical development ofengineering and technology as gendered domains by presenting their “maleness” as a sociallyconstructed and relatively recent phenomenon
process over several years should be the development of a focus that serves to crystallize theeducational research efforts of the group and gradually answers the identified issues.This last point raises an important point: a research agenda is not a static set of goals andobjectives. Consequently, the EMD should envision that developing a research agenda is anevolutionary process. For example, if the first generation agenda focuses on developing thedefined field of engineering management and how it is differentiated, the following generation willneed to track how this definition changes as the world of business and technology evolves overtime. The next section proposes a starting point for the EMD research agenda

Transparencies made from photocopied pages of the WilsonApplied Science and Technology Index showed how a search would yield current articles intrade journals such as Chemical Marketing Reporter and Oil and Gas Journal. Students alsofound useful articles in the more technical AICHE Journal, or Industrial and EngineeringChemistry Fundamentals. A tour of the periodicals department of the library showed studentswhere to find current issues of these publications.I encouraged the student design teams to make an appointment with the librarian to conduct anonline database search using DIALOG, to find more comprehensive results in the ChemicalAbstracts and Engineering Index.
