Increasing diversity and broadening participation in engineering programs has been a persistent challenge due to various factors. Despite efforts to enhance engineering education, we have not seen a significant increase in matriculation, retention, and graduation rates in certain engineering fields. For decades, academic institutions have received…

Israel has worked to improve the accessibility of its higher education to under-served communities, but lower socioeconomic students, as well as those of certain ethnic backgrounds, remain disadvantaged. Unfortunately, some 'second chance' programs developed to help facilitate admission to higher education have only increased this inequality. The…

Background: K12 teachers need a wider range of design approaches to foster feasible qualitative improvements in all students' schooling experiences. We propose a framework for conceptualizing pre-service teachers' stances toward designerly thinking. Methods: We developed the framework following Crismond and Adams' scholarship of integration…

This research addresses the underexplored area of supporting high school students with autism in whole class engineering instruction. Drawing on insights from eight high school First Robotics Competition teachers across the United States, the study employs a DisCrit and Social Cognitive Career Theory framework. Through interviews and surveys, the…

Science and Engineering education are jewels of higher education. In India, among the pioneers of premium technical institutes, the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) are structurally designed to deliver global knowledge capital with a state-of-the-art curriculum and rigorous standards. Their capability to positively impact the global scale is…
