In developing countries such as Nigeria, professionals with these skills and expertise are also in high demand. With changes in healthcare, education, economic growth and sustainable development, there is an urgent need to increase the number of young people choosing to study and work in STEM, and particularly digital technologies and engineering. Previous research has identified that the traditional instructivist and theoretical approach to teaching often used in Nigeria and other developing countries can be a major barrier to young people, who can often regard STEM subjects and careers as not for ‘people like them’ and/or have very narrow perspectives of opportunities in the STEM sector. It also means that young people are not equipped to take their place as digital citizens in today’s global society. The DIGISTEM programme was commissioned by the Ekiti State Government in Nigeria and sponsored by the World Bank to provide a novel approach to address these challenges. This paper presents its overall vision. Using an action research approach, a set of carefully designed interactions were conducted with young people and their schools and teachers. The initial results from this are presented and demonstrate that there is an urgent need to transform educational practice in this and other similar regions to provide a more authentic and active learning experience that prepares young people to be career-ready global digital citizens.","PeriodicalId":178923,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127863156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is a goal of large international organisations, governments, companies and other entities. Although it is not a new issue, it is important to continue studying it and seek mechanisms and strategies to attract and maintain more women in these areas. In particular, in the field of education and employment, the STEM areas present large gender gaps whose reduction would not only impact the equality of men and women but would also have an impact on the economy of the countries and on improving the economic situation of women. In this context, there are initiatives in Latin America working on this issue, but it is necessary to look more deeply into the elements that influence the decision to study careers in these areas. In this context, two focus groups have been held as roundtables with STEM women from different Latin American and European countries, to answer a series of questions centred on their motivations and decisions before and during their university studies. The results obtained have provided some inputs for defining gender equality action plans in ten Higher Education Institutions from Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Mexico. Furthermore, the results show similarities with previous studies involving STEM women with different Latin American profiles.","PeriodicalId":178923,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129318000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With large numbers of student enrollments in undergraduate courses, assessing programming submissions is becoming an increasingly tedious task that requires high cognitive load, and considerable amount of time and effort. Programming assignments usually contain algorithmic implementations written in specific programming languages to assess students’ logical thinking and problem-solving skills. Evaluators use either a test case-driven or source code analysis approach when evaluating programming assignments. Given that many marking rubrics and evaluation criteria provide partial marks for programs that are not syntactically correct, evaluators are required to analyze the source code during evaluations. This extra step adds additional burden on evaluators that consumes more time and effort. Hence, this research work attempts to study existing automatic source code analysis mechanisms, specifically, use of deep learning approaches in the domain of automatic assessments. Such knowledge may lead to creating novel automated marking models using past student data and apply deep learning techniques to implement automatic assessments of programming assignments irrespective of the computer language or the algorithm implemented.","PeriodicalId":178923,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON)","volume":"163 2-3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116635896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Observing women with successful development in their profession inspires other women to pursue professional growth as well, even in STEM areas, where there is less female participation. This research presents a successful case of a program with two differentiating characteristics: the use of social networks to present a group of female leaders like a role model in STEM, and an international strategic link. The objective of the program was to strengthen women leadership in the STEM educational environment, as well as to identify the determining factors for this strengthening. In the webinar program developed over a 6-month period, more than 700 people were impacted, with more than 22,000 views. Through feedback surveys and data regarding audience obtained from the webinars transmitted by social networks, the impact and needs of teachers were shown. The results indicate that the majority of the audience teaches classes in elementary and middle levels, however, it is observed that teachers from all educational levels participated. The presence of female role models teaching in STEM programs and their extensive experience in current social happenings are two elements that favor interest and participation in these events.","PeriodicalId":178923,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON)","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114367649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of the present work is to determine the impact of women role models in robotics teams on female students’ development, performance, permanence, and pursuing STEM-related careers. The preliminary results of this educational research project show that the coach’s gender does not influence the student’s performance, but it does influence in perceiving the environment as safer, more comfortable, and inclusive; variables improve the permanence of the female students in the team and the pursuit of STEM-related careers. Supported by the preliminary results shown in this paper, we aim to increase our sample size to achieve stronger statistical conclusions by conducting this study throughout further seasons, being able to measure the impact generated in more female students that are or were members of the robotics team at Tecnologico de Monterrey, Mexico City Campus.","PeriodicalId":178923,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON)","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114785914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The intervention, nevertheless is not a singular actuation, it is in line with the 2030 agenda of the university by means of a program called Campus Bizia Lab. This program aims to trigger a collaborative process among teachers, services staff, and students to respond to sustainability challenges adopted at the university. Within the program, a working team was made up, composed by three teachers of two departments (business organization and electrical engineering), a campus’ technical architect and two students. The collaboration between people from different professional profile makes the students’ projects more closely linked to reality. Moreover, projects are developed beyond the technical perspective. Two projects were conducted, both with the main objective of reducing the electrical power consumption in the biggest Campus of the University (Leioa campus). The capstone projects developed during this academic course were two: the design of a smart electrical micro grid and the redesign of the campus’ outdoor lighting with energy efficiency criteria. All in all this paper describes the characteristics of the intervention (objectives, work team and projects carried out), as well as the obtained outcomes.","PeriodicalId":178923,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125345276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
