The programming platform will be Matlab/Octave2 whichis a programming language initially developed for numerical computations. It is widely usedacross industry and academia and research institutions. Knowledge in Matlab/Octave is requiredin many of the engineering job openings, which makes it a very important technical skill that ourstudents have to master for a successful career as engineers.Knowledge of programming and specifically Matlab is a prerequisite for several classes taught atthe Schools of Engineering around the country and a Matlab

The stigma very often placed on themath and science classroom is that the content is difficult and uninteresting. By providingmultiple professional development sessions, constant communication with the engineeringprofessors, and peer review with other teachers within the program, teachers developed lessonplans that helped not just one, but all teachers interested in bringing engineering to life in theirclassrooms. When presenting math or science content at the middle and high school level, these initialexperiences could potentially be the catalyst to drive students toward a career in these essentialfields.

For example, 48% of engineeringgraduates who took elective courses in entrepreneurship as undergraduates started their ownbusinesses [13]. In fact, a majority of engineering students believe that it is beneficial to haveentrepreneurship courses in the curriculum [14]. Thus, there is an urgent need to impartentrepreneurial knowledge and skills to students to help them understand the market and makevaluable contribution to society [8]. This is especially important for students of engineering whoplan to start their own ventures. Moreover, having received entrepreneurial education, engineerswho serve in

For example, students with research experience tendto have stronger problem-solving skills and are more likely to go to graduate school and pursue acareer in science or engineering. But scholars know little about what actually happens duringstudents’ research experiences that creates these desirable outcomes. Understanding howstudents learn and develop a sense of belonging in engineering by joining a research communitywill shed light on important issues of engineering education and professionalization and informstrategies for how research communities can better support students from underrepresentedgroups.

Previous research has shown that project-basedassignments presented in these first year courses can help expose students to a range of technicaland non-technical skills, while also piquing student interest early on in their career [5]. Suchprojects may focus around a real problem from the surrounding community [6, 7, 8] or aparticular client [9].
