Session Description

Effective communication and confident self-presentation are essential yet often underdeveloped
components of professional engineering practice (Hendricks and Pappas, 1996; Friedland, 2004; de Souza
Almeida, et al., 2021). Engineers must not only master technical knowledge but also convey ideas
persuasively, collaborate dynamically, and adapt in uncertain situations. While prior work has suggested
that theatrical improvisation (improv) can offer a powerful and playful way to build these capacities (Miner,
et al., 2021), such work often appears outside engineering domains. Therefore, educators ... (continued)

Session Description

To develop robust engineering workforce for the technological advantage, economic growth, and national security in the U.S., it is important to recruit and retain more students from all backgrounds into engineering. Over the past few decades, many bridge/success/pathway programs have been created in colleges and universities across the U.S. to broaden participation in engineering and support students’ college transition and retention. Recruiting students to these programs has been challenging. With the rapidly changing educational landscape, it is even more critical to discuss effective recruitme ... (continued)
