with SLPs ortheir patients. Even though the design of instrumentation and technologies in service ofclinicians and patients clearly aligns with the skills of engineers, spontaneous collaborationbetween these two fields does not often occur. Therefore, there is an opportunity to increasecollaboration between SLPs and engineers to identify unmet needs in clinical practice andincrease research collaborations between these groups. This opportunity motivated the design ofour REU. Our site has completed two summer iterations in 2019 and 2021, with our program atits approximate midpoint and a final iteration planned for summer 2022.

Engineers Page 15.608.6 require more theoretical, scientific and mathematical knowledge. At the same time, some colleges and universities offer two- and four-year Engineering Technology programs that prepare students for practical design and production work. Graduates of four-year Engineering Technology programs may get jobs similar to those obtained by graduates with a bachelor’s degree in engineering.” 20Is the ABET description, “engineering graduates typically

Assessmentcourse, a great deal of emphasis is placed on Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) techniques.PRA (also known as probabilistic safety assessment) is used to predict the future behavior ofprocesses generally in terms of likelihood and outcome (severity). PRA has been used to assessthe designs of high hazard, complex, low risk systems (such as chemical manufacturing plantsand nuclear power plants). PRA examines events that contribute to adverse outcomes through theuse of event tree analysis and determines the likelihood of event occurrence through fault treeanalysis.4.3 Establishing and Upgrading LaboratoriesIt is believed that technology concepts are best learnt with hands-on activities.

NSFGraduate Research Fellowship. Some of these experiences were directly facilitated by the effortsof STEM CONNECT. For example, one Scholar applied and accepted an internship to Hudl aftera local tour, and other Scholars have received extensive feedback on application materials andletters of recommendation from project leaders. A total of twenty university Scholars havegraduated in computing and mathematics-related majors, with an average GPA of 3.66. Ten ofthese Scholars graduated with distinction. Further, 85% were either first-generation, women,and/or URM.The project consistently positioned Scholars as worth investing in. One community collegeScholar reflected on the importance of this positioning: I find it very encouraging knowing that
U.K. Marche comments, “Sharples’ intent was to urge educators to‘rethink teaching and assessment’ in light of the technology, which he said, ‘could become a giftfor student cheats, or a powerful teaching assistant, or a tool for creativity.’ ”Susan Agostino quoted Robert Cummings, “AI can impact every stage of the writing process –from invention to research, drafting, proofreading and documentation.” She went on to quoteFyfe who said, “Think about it as a partner, that we humans and AI computers are not doingthings the same way and aren’t good at the same things, either. Each has unique specializations.What are the kind of partnerships we can imagine [3]?”Beth McMurtrie commented, “It is critical, [scholars] say, to begin conversations with

Topic 3 4 Evidence of ImpactIn today's presentation, we will share the details of a longitudinal study on a middle schooloutreach program for girls. We will begin by sharing some background on Camp Reach and theoriginal elements of its design which have remained relatively constant over the last 20+years. In addition, we will share some brief information on other outreach programs at WPI,since participation in these outreach programs is one of the main sources of the touchpoints wediscuss in our research.Next, we will discuss the study design of this particular research. Camp Reach was originallydeveloped with the intent of conducting longitudinal research. Therefore, the program

For example, some of the 29mixed-race Native American students’ pre-college experiences and backgrounds are notdistinguishable from majority students. Programs should be sensitive to students negotiatingdifference, not just to the white majority, but to other ethnic and racial minorities, languagedifference and sex/gender differences along with their own identity development as a mixed-raceperson. Assuming that the obstacles and challenges faced by members of a racial or ethnic groupare understood and experienced universally does not serve the best interests of all students.AcknowledgementsThis material is based upon work supported by the
teams hosted a local STEM engagement eventfor elementary and middle school students wherein they designed, developed, and implemented aSTEM activity center that featured multicultural elements within STEM. These activitiesrequired students to acquire training in K-12 best practices, accessibility in curriculum, andapplications of multicultural elements in STEM activities (i.e., knowledge acquisition) whichwere then transferred to original ideas to create learning experiences for their target populations(i.e., knowledge transfer). For this event, the STEM FHF student teams worked with the OakleySTEM Center on campus to provide the venue, advertising, recruitment, and supplies in tandemwith established K-12 programming activities.For the second

Yet, we find ourselves discovering new ways toupend those deficit-based modes of instruction, and we are continually striving to meet the needsof our engineering learners in our classrooms and curricula.The cultural foundations which engineering curricula, engineering colleges, and engineeringworkplaces all share can trace their roots to the early 20th Century. Frehill (2004) conductedarchival research and found that engineering was couched as a masculine space to “provemanhood,” ultimately creating unwelcoming or hostile environments for People of Color andWhite women through the present [Miller et al., 2023]. As a long-lasting consequence, typicalengineering curricula in the 21st Century are entrenched with hidden elements [Polmear et

SolvingAbstractWorkplace problems are different from traditional textbook or classroom problemsbecause they are ill-structured and complex in nature. Research shows that engineersneed a wide range of knowledge and skills in order to succeed in workplace problemsolving. However, it is unclear how engineering students, who will become professionalsin the workplace after graduation, experience real world engineering problem solving.Motivated by a desire to better understand engineering problems and prepare students forengineering practice, this study aims to explore students’ experiences of workplaceproblems solving.
