Students feltemployers could communicate with the CET department about summer job openings. They alsowould like employers to continue to give presentations in seminar. Students would like to knowmore about the jobs and projects they will work on. They suggest employers provide clearer jobdescriptions and be more specific about the qualifications needed. Some noted they would liketo see the plans of the jobs they are working on. One suggested having both students andemployers fill evaluation forms

All 380 freshmen take the course, which is taught by engineering facultyfrom five or six different disciplines. A small core group of faculty from each school work togetherto set goals, develop a syllabus, plan lectures, design assignments and activities, manage overallcourse assessment, and facilitate weekly faculty meetings.One goal of EDC is to communicate the excitement of engineering and thus motivate students tosucceed.

Students would understand the high level of expectation for effort in engineering classes, while simultaneously being encouraged to solve a difficult problem. • The project should be open-ended. Students would use the engineering design process to create a unique design, with no pre-defined solutions. • The project should be hands-on. Students would utilize the maker space at the UMHB Engineering Design Building to gain hands-on experience with hardware and software. • The project should be competitive.

VR can be used for various purposes, including design visualization, constructionmanagement, safety training, academic learning, urban planning, and more. Many researchers areworking hard to establish VR as a learning platform for students, as it can provide high-qualityvisualizations that can enhance the learning experience. For example, Chou et al.

As we have developed new comparisonsessions for classroom use (on our own or with teachers), we have leveraged these templates toguide our thinking. The template serves as a generative tool by eliciting thinking about theinstructional experience. For example, debrief questions are organized to help teachers align keyconcepts with conceptual, technical, and transfer-learning elements (see Fig. 3).

Our focus was on developing a short, easy to understand lesson that would help thegirls sketch a basic circuit. We relied on program staff (who were near-peer AA universitystudents) to assist them with extending their basic ideas to create more complex circuits whenneeded. Though we planned for their lack of circuit knowledge, we did not anticipate thefollowing issues. Many students cannot sew. We anticipated providing support to assist students with circuit design; however we did not consider that students would not be able to sew by hand. For example
