Like their elementary counterparts, early childhood educators often report negativeattitude towards teaching science, lack of confidence due to inadequate science knowledge, andlack of resources including instructional time, classroom space and instructional materials (Maieret al., 2013; Kallery 2004; Watters et al., 2000). Nonetheless, several projects have reportedsuccessful outcomes in integrating science and engineering

Engineering and in Training EngineersExploring the requirements of what is to be designed is central to ill-structured problems; oftenthere are conflicts not just about how to solve a problem, but rather what problem to solve. Thislatter conflict may not arise often enough in engineering education. Students are accustomed tohomework and projects that are clearly defined, or defined without consideration of externalstakeholders.Engineers need to know how to explore the constraints provided by technical, economic,business, political, social, and ethical issues involved, including who knows these constraints,and for whom they are constraints. In the same manner, there is the nature of identifying theproblem that the devices, components, subsystems

Teamwork skills are closely linked with communication, as it hasbeen shown that students can improve their communication skills by participating inmultidisciplinary teams (Garcia Lorca et al. 2015). Collaboration with industry in designprojects, such as in the senior capstone design course, is one way in which universities areproviding students with proper communication training. Universities are recommended to buildupon these best practices by connecting with

If the instructor considers the proposal from a team as satisfactory, aproject is awarded and the students can start working on the project.

Growingregional industries have looked upon The Citadel to meet some of their engineering needsthrough veteran graduates, but demand for engineers is increasing and outpacing the smallveteran student population.

At sophomore, junior, and senior levels, courses were selected forcritical thinking, and professional ethics emphasizes. The students were encouraged to use criticalthinking skills to analyze requirements and constraints which would apply for advanced real-worldproblems. Significant improvement in critical thinking skills of students have been achievedthrough this sequence. An integrated thinking approach is adopted by Katz [3] to bridge the educational gapbetween analytical and design thinking for mechanical engineering students. The suggestedapproach is implemented by reforming science engineering courses by stressing the

AerospaceAbstractIncreasing the number and diversity of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) graduates is important to our country’s continued economic growth and is an area ofnational interest as this need continues to rise. In addition to the number of STEM graduates isthe need for graduates to work effectively on teams. Diversity within engineering groups has beenshown to positively impact a team’s body of knowledge on a given topic, as well as improve thatgroup’s creativity, ethical decision-making, and ability to function as a cohesive unit. Aerospaceengineering is unique in that traditional methods of attracting more students from diversebackgrounds have been less effective than in other STEM fields, and average percentages forminority

Research surrounding learningspaces in libraries has emphasized use of collaboration and flexible spaces, but these studieshave been conducted to inform space design decisions

],worldview, ethical considerations, researcher bias [6], validity threats [6], and research quality[7] all broach on the complex underpinnings of positionality for engineering education research.However, the primary difference that appears is the consideration of the actual personal rootsthat a researcher has for the type of research conducted and its “quality”, and the peoplesresearched. Beyond initial considerations, this rooting of thought in relation to another’s lifeexperience surpasses reflexivity, which can be confused as being bound to the beginning and endof a study. The consideration of the rooting and internal exploration that exists in positionality isa continual consideration that spans beyond the work of research studies to explore a
