, NCProgram overview and partnership structureIn 2007, our school was designated a magnet school by our local school board due to re-districting. The community was surveyed and a school with an engineering theme wasoverwhelmingly supported. The school’s staff began researching and planning engineering in aK-5 setting and was contacted, through chance, by the university. Throughout the rest of theyear, both parties worked together to develop and plan an engineering magnet school that wouldutilize the Engineering is Elementary curriculum as a primary tool. The plan addressedprofessional development, community/parent support, materials support and partnership supportfor the first three years initially.During the 2007-2008 school year, our partner at the

Itallows them to quantify their achievements and gives them the motivation to continue theirefforts. Additionally the more involved team members are in the planning strategy for goalachievement, the more motivated, involved, and committed team members become.17 Page 5.306.2B

plans are as described above;however, what is typically presented to the students at each institution are web pages that containhelpful degree plans for the degrees being pursued. That is, students are generally only vaguelyaware that many different curricula exist for a degree program, and they are likely even less awareof the underlying degree requirements associated with the degree program. The key point is thatwithin each institution, degree plans have been carefully constructed so that if students followthem, they will earn their degrees.

This comment points out apossible challenge facing these students when using their notebooks to facilitate ideageneration: the students did not know enough to draw detailed sketches. However, oncethey had enough familiarity with the VEX robotics kits to create useful sketches of theirdesign plans, they were no longer making frequent notebook entries.The students’ notebook entries align with the interviews by revealing the challenge withmaking detailed drawings as well as the emphasis on the early part of the design process.First, we see that the entries were rather sparse both in content and count.

A National ScienceFoundation supported project at Tufts University’s Center for Engineering Education andOutreach aims to provide this support to elementary teachers as they learn to develop andimplement integrated engineering and literacy (IEL) activities in their classrooms. As part of theongoing professional development (PD) for this project, participating teachers discussinstructional practices for creating and implementing literature-based engineering activities intheir classrooms. These instructional practices involve attending to student reasoning andfostering student engagement in engineering areas of problem scoping, conceptual planning, andrealizing and testing design ideas.This qualitative research study focuses on elementary
2019, our university Tecnológico de Monterrey, rolled out its new educationalmodel called Tec21 across all programs, including engineering. In this model, the semesterperiods were divided into three periods of 5 weeks each, where subjects from the previouscurriculum, which lasted 18 weeks, were condensed into a 5-week teaching period. Thisapproach was based on entirely focusing students on a thematic area (Fig.1).In the Tec21 curriculum plans [1-5], each thematic block is structured with several moduleson related themes and a challenge (linked project), which must be addressed by developingskills derived from the deployment of the modules. All challenges are linked to real-worldenvironmental problems through Educational Partners (companies

The plan, which is directed at closing educational gaps withinTexas, as well as between Texas and other states, has four goals: to close the gaps in studentparticipation, student success, excellence, and research. The plan includes strategies for reachingeach of the goals and an annual performance measuring system. One outcome of this plan was ademonstrated need for engineering education and an outcome of this was the creation of the non-profit membership organization known as the Texas Engineering and Technical Consortium(TETC). The purpose of TETC is to increase the number of engineering and computer sciencegraduates from Texas

students.In 2021, Mt. SAC implemented a new program for entering engineering technology studentscalled the Engineering Summer Cohort (ESC). Counseling and engineering facultycollaboratively taught a two-week course that included educational planning and a hands-on,engineering project. Students learned a diverse set of engineering skills in a free, developmental,non-credit-bearing course in the summer prior to their fall enrollment. The intervention wasdesigned to motivate students to pursue an engineering technology degree and to learn aboutuniversity transfer programs. ESC Program materials, including electronic flyers, a video, andan application, were marketed and distributed to local area high school engineering students.Implementation of ESC is

A second paper (Jordan et al., 2022) will explore the findings and the lessonslearned on the evaluation from the perspectives of the members of The Center.Initial conversation, scoping, and goals for the evaluationInitial conversations with The Center on the evaluation began in 2019. The evaluation team wasfirst approached at the 2019 ASEE Conference. The team then visited The Center in the fall of2019 to generate a more specific plan for the evaluation. The time spent during the meeting wasused to generate guiding evaluation questions, identify stakeholders, and possible data sources. Inaddition, further opportunities for

In Summer 2019,the first cohort of five students completed their 8-week immersive research internship at a top-ranked Korean university.COVID-19 affected most, if not all, in-bound and out-bound international programs. IRiKA wasno exception. In late February 2020, the program was canceled altogether because no viablealternative could be offered for Summer 2020, as institutions world-wide were grappling withdisruptive challenges the pandemic brought on. In Fall 2020, with contingency plans in place andan additional Korean host site aboard, the project team solicited applications. However, in early2021, before the final selection of the 2021

At the beginning, we generally ignored computing andprogramming tasks because of the need for hardware, but as we looked to expand our set ofactivities we convinced ourselves that we could do a good amount of activities using the onlineblock coding simulators that exist, particularly Microsoft MakeCode.We began planning an offering called the Design with Code Club (DwCC). We structuredDwCC to be different from other common coding offerings [1-2] in that we wanted the mainfocus to be on kids designing solutions to problems that might include the use of technology andcoding. We were purposeful in this decision for two main reasons. First, we wanted to make ourcoding club more interesting to girls

The present version ofSmart Phone technology, 5G, is being driven by M2M applications as contrasted with previousgenerations concerned with higher data rates. Already, plans to implement 6G smart phonetechnology by the end of this decade are taking shape and being driven by notions of how MLand AI can be used to enhance the system. Emerging Wi-Fi 7 standards are also being influencedheavily by IoT communication needs. All of these trends give rise to the flourishing of cyber-physical systems that have relevance to things like the electrical

Buildingupon these pilot efforts, we are actively expanding adoption of the APEX program in severalways. First, we have begun holding summer and winter training workshops for faculty at severaladditional community colleges. Second, we are refining and improving the FLC experience aswe initiate new FLCs with these institutional partners. Finally, we will continue to assess theprogram’s efficacy through a research plan that evaluates student and faculty experiences,allowing us to optimize
institutions to implement similar plans to return to normalrecruitment and outreach activities. Perhaps the greatest argument for returning to recruitingactivities, including in person events is the fact Engineering Technology (ETEC) is hands-on, andit is important for potential students to come experience things like the state-of-the-art lab facilitiesat ETEC.

Specifically, we seek to answer the following questions: 1) How has students’ familiarity of PM skills changed after taking this course? 2) What are students’ opinions on the course delivery?MethodsThe student survey analysis served as the major assessment instruments in this assessmentproject. We developed surveys using Qualtrics and asked enrolled students to complete thesurveys throughout the semester. The purpose of the surveys was to gather students’ perceptionsand satisfaction with the course and their ability to apply material to their research.

This workshop was based on the Bryn MawrCollege Teaching to Increase Diversity and Equity in STEM (TIDES) workshop. To encouragefaculty to attend future workshops on diversity and equity, the SOE had a raffle for staff andfaculty who took the implicit bias tests found at the Harvard site: Project Implicit:https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/takeatest.html.The formal response addressed each of the students’ recommendations. In some cases, wewere able to inform the students of activities already in process of which they were unaware.
