the Design Thinking Framework to Course DesignInformed by these caveats, we utilized Carlgren and colleagues’ framework [10] to investigatehow design thinking could be used in the context of engineering course design. We acknowledgethat cultures within engineering education, and more specifically our home department, as wellas the habitus we had individually developed throughout our engineering and engineeringeducation careers, might require reframing of the five themes and determine which mindsets,practices, and techniques might be most useful in enacting those themes. In determining theseaspects, we took a reflexive stances, somewhere been the poles of (a) forcing an extant, staticview of design thinking into our context and (b) choosing
reasonably expectthat most juniors have more practice and experience with computational tools than freshmen, andtherefore would have higher confidence in their abilities. Fig. 1. Plots depicting comparisons between NCS freshman and junior mean responses regardingprogramming/simulation self-efficacy (a) and valuation (b). For all questions relating to self-efficacy, the Likert scale translates to 1 = “Not at all confident” to 6 = “Extremely Confident.” For self-efficacy questions, the scale translates to 1 = “Strongly Disagree” to 6 = “Strongly Agree.”Our findings revealed a surprising similarity in NCS freshmen and junior mean responses related tomotivation and ability to strategize for programming and simulation-related projects

STEM Instruction We used Roehrig and colleagues’ (2021) interdisciplinary STEM and Antink-Meyer andBrown’s (2019) NOEK frameworks as a lens by which to examine teachers’ VNOEK in thisstudy. We use Roehrig’s (2021) work to define and clarify our positioning of the teacherparticipants as STEM teachers familiar with using engineering design to teach their disciplines.We use Antink-Meyer and Brown’s (2019) work as it was previously the catalyst for developingthe validated VNOEK survey instrument (Antink-Meyer & Brown, 2020; Brown & Antink-Meyer) used in this study. Roehrig (et al., 2021) define interdisciplinary STEM instruction as having corecomponents: (a) engineering design as an integrator; (b) real-world problems; (c

students.ConclusionThis paper identifies the needs of graduate women in engineering at Penn State, and discussesthe formation of a student organization, GradWIE, to address those needs. To these ends, a pilotsurvey was designed by a group of engineering graduate students to primarily gauge the need forcommunity and student interest in creating a group for women who are graduate students in theengineering field. Results from the survey showed that graduate students felt like they needed astronger community in the College of Engineering and that they desired a graduate women inengineering group. Our methods of (a) leveraging a user-centric, stakeholder-led approach and(b) assessing community needs prior to community organization could benefit studentorganizations

This model, Collaborating Across Boundaries to Engage undergraduates inComputational Thinking (CABECT), includes the following three main components: (a)implementing the curricular collaboration through coordinated, but separately taught courseswith different instructors, goals, outcomes, and deliverables; (b) collaboration with a communitypartner on identified social needs; and (c) the design and deployment of discipline

Support from NSF (through this S-STEM) has provided an opportunity to: (a)ensure a consistent and diverse pipeline of well-prepared students for careers in STEM, (b)generate new knowledge on pedagogical strategies, efficacy research and (c) establish new andexpand/strengthen existing university-industry-state partnerships to overcome key challenges andsustain the work. This work is expected to build a stronger and more sustainable Studioenvironment at the college level. Most importantly, this grant has provided the opportunity tostudy the effectiveness of the Studio in students’ professional development and retention.The learning of skills of the PWS follows a three-step process: observe, do, and teach

Hands-On ProjectsAbstractEach first-year student attending the J. B. Speed School of Engineering (SSoE) at the Universityof Louisville (UofL), regardless of declared major, must complete a two-course sequence ofintroductory engineering courses. These courses, Engineering Methods, Tools, & Practice I(ENGR 110) and Engineering Methods, Tools, & Practice II (ENGR 111), introduce thefundamental tenets of the engineering profession. The first course in the sequence, ENGR 110,focuses on introducing a variety of fundamental engineering skills. The second course, ENGR111, is a hands-on, project-based course housed in a 15,000 square foot makerspace that hasstudents integrate and apply the skills learned in ENGR 110. One of the many skills

hierarchystructure. They can show how different branching concepts are interlinked between each other.Cross-links facilitate creative thinking and show additional complexity by understanding howdifferent branches of topics relate [10]. The hierarchical structure is usually structured to showthe thought process of the person making the concept map. Typically concept maps areconsidered more complex if they include more concepts, make deeper hierarchies, and add cross-links between branches. Different scoring techniques exist for evaluating how well peopleunderstand a concept through scoring or weighting parts of a concept map in different ways,which can help instructors and researchers measure understanding of a topic [11].
