thatcustomized learning, targeting specific systems engineering skillsets, can be achieved by eachsystems engineering student based upon offering an open and customizable course curriculum.Students can use their competency-based learning plans and social-media-recognizable badges tosignify their unique systems engineering competencies and learning outcomes achieved eitherthrough a four-course Graduate Certificate or a ten-course Master of Engineering programoffered by UConn. The competency definitions by graduate course can be used by graduatestudents to create a longer-term systems engineering professional development plan that supportslife-long learning.Keywords: competency-based learning, competency-based education, graduate education,workforce

Acutestress is known to have a bonding effect on affected people, and this was no different.44Most of us planned in anticipation of the spring. We tracked the intermittent campus updatesfrom the administration, which apprised us of the recovery efforts. We planned not only for thespring semester, but, even more basically, for the times when we could simply retrieve ourpossessions that we stowed away in the dorm rooms before the evacuation. At the same time, itwas important to remain cognizant of the fact that, as inconvenient as it may have been for someof the students, there were countless other students native to New Orleans in much starkersituations.

be compelled to use all styles. Individuals whose preference for a givenstyle is particularly strongcan determine the niches within which they will be more likely to succeed. According to Wankat andOreovicz51, accommodators tend to move toward management, sales and marketing; divergers movetoward personnel and creative positions. Convergers tend toward hard-core engineering jobs such as plantoperations, design, and construction. Assimilators gravitate toward research, development, and planning.

Engineering educators often are Ph.D. holders who are expertsin various engineering subdisciplines. However, engineering graduate students have fewerteaching-related professional development opportunities than students in other STEM subjects[6]. In other words, although experts in their respective fields, new engineering educators areoften not education nor engineering education experts. Existing opportunities for professionaldevelopment in teaching often
programs. At the start of the ATE Program, a preliminary proposal review option wasoffered to all prospective grantees. A prospective grantee had the option to submit a draftproposal to NSF for review by a panel of peers. This preliminary review process mirrored thepeer review process that NSF routinely uses to evaluate proposal submissions. Feedback fromthe preliminary review was provided to the prospective grantee several months prior to theproposal submission deadline, so that project plans could be strengthened and errors eliminatedto help the prospective grantee craft a more competitive final proposal. However, in about 2010,NSF discontinued the preliminary review option. One result of this change was that over time, alimited number of

The members of the research team do notall share the same worldview, which influenced how the proposal informed later stages of theproject.For context, a grant involves funding a party to do something, with “reasonable hopes that thetask can be accomplished” [8]. This expectation differs from a contract, which is a legallybinding document that requires the parties to deliver on their promises to provide a good orservice, in exchange for compensation [8]. A PI receives a grant by submitting a successful grantproposal, which details their phenomenon of interest and how they plan to study it.The NSF Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) is

This paper will attempt to address the effects ofinteracting with the stigma and how that may affect one's decision making and if there are anylasting effects felt by interacting with said stigma. Theoretical Framework The theory of planned behavior (TPB) was originally proposed by Icek Ajzen in 1991and is now regarded as one of the most influential theories for predicting and understandinghuman action (Ajzen., 2002). TPB breaks down human reasoning into three main constructsbeing behavioral beliefs, normative beliefs and perceived behavioral control (Azjen., 2002).Each of the constructs then interact with each other and lead to Intention and finally the executedbehavior (Azjen., 2002

The second assignment has the students delveinto core analyses specific to their discipline, to verify the students’ understanding of the primary elementsof the system(s) being studied. Example analyses include calculating loads, performing typical layouts andmember sizing for common systems, or developing critical path schedules for construction planning. Asthe semester progresses, students transition from trying to form an understanding to perform more criticalanalyses, with the intent of identifying challenges or opportunities to explore alternative system designs

At the end of the specified task,learners evaluate their performance and consider how to approach a similar task in the future(reflection and reaction phase). The phases of SLR can be applied to four areas of regulation:cognition/metacognition, motivation/affect, behavior, and the learning context in which studentsare situated. Error!

During the ECP project [Ref 2], it became clear that the primary goal to‘create a sustainable Network of engineering faculty at Historically Black Colleges andUniversities to focus on the development, implementation, and expansion of’ (ECP) was the keygoal for IEC, except with a much broader impact. The ECP network grew from a series ofregular in-person and online workshops and informational meetings, so the same approach wasplanned for IEC. Unfortunately, the COVID pandemic forced a change in plans. A large meetingthat was supposed to occur in combination with the annual ECEDHA meeting in Orlando (March2020) was cancelled. This required that the organization re-think its
