Makerspaces are informal sites for creative production in art, science,technology and engineering, where people of all ages and experience meld digital and physicaltechnologies to explore ideas, learn technical skills and create new products (Sheridan et al.,2014; Dougherty, 2013; Lisa Brahms & Werner, 2013). In the past decade makerspaces havebeen opening in museums and science centers (Lisa Brahms & Werner, 2013), universities(Forest et al., 2014; Wilczynski, 2015; Wong & Partridge, 2016), libraries (Noh, 2015; Cao, Wu,& Stvilia, 2020), and independent non for

However, we have yet to find anexample of an introductory level course that discusses these topics geared toward theprofessional development of graduate engineering students within a broad range of career andresearch interests. Thus, we sought to develop a course that would help graduate studentresearchers understand the terminology around inequities and justice; interrogate well-knowncases of engineering research across a range of applications, technology, and higher educationbias and discrimination; reflect and discuss how their own research areas impact society; andform a plan for how they may address or actively prevent potential injustices.

be a “good” engineer.IntroductionIn 2004, the National Academies of Engineering released the “The Engineer of 2020: Visions ofEngineering in the New Century” report in an effort to highlight the role engineers would hold inour future society [1]. A topic of discussion was the impact of the engineer on societal changes,focusing mainly on the importance of incorporating social contexts into engineering. TheNational Academy of Engineering envisioned an era of engineering education that resulted inengineers that are “leaders, able to balance the gains afforded by new technologies with thevulnerabilities created by their byproducts without compromising the well-being of society andhumanity” [1, p. 19]. However, as we move past 2020, it is

This path oftenrequires students to develop an interest in STEM by middle school, choose particular math andscience courses in middle- and high-school, and gain experience and exposure in STEMactivities through their high school tenure. While successful for approximately 7% of studentswho entered 9th grade in 2001, this system has

StudentsAbstractFormalized professional development programs are taking on increased importance inengineering education in response to the needs and desires of the profession. Today’s engineersare expected to be technologically competent. In addition, they must be able to lead, manage,innovate, and identify and solve problems. In response to these increasing demands on engineers,the College of Engineering at Villanova University developed a comprehensive professionaldevelopment program called Career Compass. Career Compass is a three-year mandatorybearing-credit program. There is an optional fourth-year component. This program has fourthemes: The Engineering Profession, Setting the Stage for Personal and Professional Success,Post-Graduation Career Planning, and

And so while the state curricula throughout the country contain variousstandards for technological literacy, there exists a fundamental disconnect between the existingclassroom curricula, teacher training in engineering and technology, and the available time andresources to form an effective integration.One method for aiding teachers in enhancing curriculum-integrated activities is to go throughexternally funded programs such as the NSF RET and NSF GK12 programs.

[1] Additionally, amore profound issue of student attrition has been identified.[2] The professionalidentity of engineering PhD students is not only integral to their academic andprofessional success, but also acts as a driving force for technological innovation andadvancement. As engineering disciplines become increasingly diverse and complex,distinct training methods and disciplinary characteristics are playing a larger role inshaping the professional identity of these students. However, despite a large numberof studies focusing on doctoral training or professional identity, there is a relative lackof research on how engineering PhD students form professional identity in differentdisciplinary contexts.In
