This is the crisis that faces STEMeducation today.Numerous reports have called attention to this STEM crisis that threatens the competitiveness ofthe United States. The National Academies undertook a study and documented its findings in areport entitled “Rising Above the Gathering Storm: Energizing and Employing America for aBrighter Economic Future”. This report identifies high priority actions that the United Statesneeds to take for the nation to successfully compete, prosper, and be secure in the globalcommunity of the 21st century8. Several such research studies and position papers have beenundertaken in recent years and many of the findings and

MiguelAndr´es’s research includes sustainable infrastructure design and planning, smart and resilient cities, and the development of engineers who not only have strong technical and practical knowledge but the social awareness and agency to address global humanitarian, environmental, and social justice challenges. For him, social justice is a concept that should always be involved in discussions on infrastructure. Related to STEM education, Miguel Andr´es is in developing and applying contemporary pedagogies for STEM courses, teaching empathy studies in engineering as a tool for innovation, and assessing engineering students’ agency to address climate change.

Areas to be addressed include the following. • How can faculty effectively participate in a student self-assessment process? Are there advantages that accrue to the student when the educator uses this technique? • What factors impact the validity of implementing this technique? Under what conditions and in what situations is it appropriate to use student self-assessment scores? • An example of institutional use of student self-assessment is presented. The example includes a description of how an instrument was designed and how it is being administered. The development

Building custom GPTs is still new and there is much to learn aboutcreating instances of GPT4 designed to assist with specific tasks. Due to their ability to optimizeon a narrow task, custom GPTs were determined to be the best option for this project. Thecustom GPT was designed specifically to extract citations from MET capstone project reports viaimages of their bibliographies.

These standardized tests are designed tobe valid and reliable research instruments. Although they typically use multiple-choice questions,the distractors for the questions are convincing to students who do not have a strong conceptualknowledge; thus, despite being multiple-choice questionnaires that take 1-2 minutes per question,concept inventories can assess student working knowledge. Some analyses of concept inventorieshave found possible issues with validity [37]; with that said, analysis of this depth is not evenpossible for the FE without cooperation from NCEES.If a program were to have problems with graduates having

Of all students who enroll asengineering majors approximately 50% will graduate, with a disproportionately high attritionrate for women and minorities [9].Understanding and addressing student success factors is a critical element to supporting diverseand thriving engineering graduates. Among the main factors [9] found for students leavingengineering were classroom and academic climate, self-efficacy and self-confidence, and raceand gender issues.

However, there are reports from employers andresearchers that undergraduate students are not prepared for solving these kinds of problems whenthey graduate 8,9 .One of the reasons for this skills gap is that the majority of problem-solving in traditionalundergraduate engineering programs consists of solving textbook problems. Textbook problemsare designed to exercise a limited set of knowledge and skills, and thus may not reflect theproblem-solving practices that are used in real-world settings. Textbook problems do not allowroom for students to make their own assumptions, decide what information is needed, decide howto present their findings, etc. Project-based learning, such as
