IntroductionUnderstanding engineering codes and standards are undoubtedly essential for success in anengineering career. Engineering curricula need adequate training to prepare students to remember,understand, and apply these professional standards.

The successful implementation oftechnologies relies heavily on an instructor’s knowledge of the technology and ability tointegrate it into their class [3]. Researchers have studied the barriers and dynamics of technologyadoption by faculty members. Some of these barriers include perceived usefulness (or lackthereof), structural constraints (such as technical support), lack of time to learn new technologies,and varying levels of faculty proficiency with technology, among others [4].With such a wide variety of technological tools and approaches designed to improve the learningexperience available on the market today, it is

However, less than 20% of the teachers who are currently teaching these standaloneengineering courses have a major or minor in engineering or an engineering-related discipline,and the majority are not certified to teach engineering [3]. In addition, it was reported in 2018that only 3% of elementary teachers, 10% of middle school science teachers, and 13% of highschool science teachers had completed even a single course in engineering [2].Research has demonstrated that the perceptions that K-12 teachers hold about engineers andengineering are often inaccurate.

Digital twin provides severalcapabilities to engineers: (a) what-if analysis during design process, (b) predictive health-basedmaintenance, and (c) process control and adaptive scheduling. According to Grieves andVickers “While the terminology has changed over time, the basic concept of the Digital Twinmodel has remained fairly stable from its inception in 2002.

Welding oftencauses metals to change in composition, which can lead to a decline in physical properties,including strength and corrosion resistance. Even more so when the welded pieces are dissimilarmetals. In this paper it was found that the corrosion resistance of the welded joint in acidicenvironments (1% HCl at 35, 45, and 55 Celsius) increased when the SiC powder was added. Itwas also found that the tensile strength of the welded joint increased in the samples that thepowder was used in. If Engineering students understand

However, based on findings from fourth-and fifth-grade girls participating in an engineering outreach program, we question whetheryouth in this age group are looking for engineering role models, and we challenge theassumption that youth take up an individual as a role model simply because a program attemptsto position them in this way. This has led us to question what role these “models” play in theminds and lives of youth, and we argue that it may differ from what we have believed. In thisstudy, we seek to answer the following: 1) Are elementary-aged girls looking for role models?;2) How do girls perceive

The VEXrobot has been used to implement waypoint navigation, map building, and path planning [1]. However, VEX robots primarily focus on motion control and low-level sensing, and they donot have a vision sensor (such as a CCD camera).
