graduations: 1. Transform Teaching and Learning: Improved retention as a result of expanding our undergraduate teaching assistance (UTA) programs and institutionalizing a formal UTA training pedagogy. A working knowledge in best practices will enable UTAs to be both effective and engaging in the laboratory and/or classroom. 2. Increase Faculty and Student Interactions: Improved retention as a result of implementing university-wide and discipline-specific (intentional) community building activities that foster STEM students’ sense of identification with STEM departments.PRIMES conceptual framework was designed around three groups that intersect: STEM faculty,STEM undergraduates, and STEM Undergraduate Teaching

Identifying, codifying,and synthesizing the previous research in EL provides crucial foundations for advancement andreduces the likelihood of redundant efforts [2]. Ultimately, this review seeks to answer threedriving research questions: 1) What topics has the EL research published at ASEE conferencesfocused on since 1996? 2) Are there gaps in the EL research published at ASEE conferences thatindicate growth

In what follows, we shareideas from the literature and from our own observations about engagement-related conflict ondesign teams, and then address the use of MR simulations in educational environments.Engagement-Related Conflict on Engineering Design TeamsTeam-based work is a fundamental tenant of design thinking and the work of an engineer; it iscritical that undergraduate engineering programs include team-based design projects throughoutthe curriculum [1]. The literature has reported on the benefits of and best practices for studentsengaged in team-based design projects [2-4]. Also addressed in the literature are challengesrelated to teamwork, especially with respect to conflicts related to interpersonal dynamics

In the first half of the course, students define identity (including race,ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class, and ability) and intersectionality, understand forms ofoppression (e.g., racism, white supremacy, sexism, misogyny, misogynoir, transphobia,homophobia, classism, and ableism), examine social justice movements to eradicate theseoppressions, and identify policies that exclude/protect identities (across both society andcomputing environments).

Before Fall2023 students experienced a fixed rate for full time (12 or more hours) tuition. There was not anupper limit, but students needed exceptions if enrolled in more than 21 hours. Beginning Fall2023, students registering for more than 19 hours in a semester were charged for each additionalcredit. This was not a problem for those who planned for the increased hours such as doublemajors and those that wanted to graduate sooner rather than return for a few courses.

The goal is to accelerate the students’ progress toward achieving advanced degrees.Our project is in synergy with this effort and will positively impact the engineeringundergraduate program. Each proposed new course will be an elective offered for bothundergraduate and graduate students; once enrolled, undergraduate students can learn from andwork with graduate students in the same course, allowing them to experience graduate study.These courses will also provide undergraduate students with opportunities to participate inadvanced research and create a pathway to graduate study. All of the courses developed will beopen to the entire college. The new

The National Academy of Engineering(NAE) reinforces the critical role that engineers should play in addressing both problems andopportunities that are technical, social, economic, and political in nature in solving the grandchallenges.

Those real world challengesnaturally exist when engineers use math to explain science and design technologies, products,and processes to positively impact society6. Ohio adopted the new standards on June18, 2010 forfull implementation to take effect the 2013-2014 school year21.Research has shown that student-centered learning approaches are efficacious in improvingstudent learning11.

We contend that it is importantfor engineering students to understand how engineering design affects society and howsociety may affect how we as engineers do design.The remaining ABET program outcomes call for a foundation of knowledge thatfacilitate, enable and essentially support the practice of engineering design. Theseinclude an ability to; (a) apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering,(b) design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data, (k) use thetechniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering

However, it is oftendifficult to provide useful, hands-on practical, modern and attractive experience for our students.One way to increase the student exposure to recent advances in technology, computing, IT,microelectronics, etc. is to research projects. Engineering and technology senior or capstonedesign courses fill a critically important role in the curriculum, forming a bridge between schooland the workplace and have been extensively researched. These courses bring to the forefront manyof the ABET outcomes such as lifelong learning, design, teamwork, and contemporary issues.The senior

attention on contextual competence for engineers, Karnov,Hauser, Olsen, and Girardeau [8] found that engineering students were generally lacking in keyaspects of this skill. Notwithstanding faculty reports of increased curricular emphasis onunderstanding the organizational, cultural, and environmental contexts and constraints ofengineering practice, design, and research, a 2006 study reported that 48 percent of engineeringemployers found recent graduates to be inadequately prepared in these areas [9]. Efforts toremedy this deficiency have identified a number of approaches for integrating contextualcompetence into the curriculum. For example, students‟ immersion in a real-world communitycontext is a key component of Purdue‟s NAE-recognized
master's programs asdocumented by the National Academy's Science Professionals: Master's Education for aCompetitive World[2]. From this it is clear that industry is clamoring for advanced graduateswith a constructive mix of leadership, research, and technological capability.
