final presentation of the capstone design projects in the last week of the summer semester.The informal presentations in capstone design projects are typically around 15 minutes and theyneed to cover directly related information such as reasoning, options, and status reports forcapstone projects. The final formal presentations are around 20 minutes and a sell-stylepresentation. Therefore, it was obvious that students typically didn’t have a proper chance toshare their self-learning content and to promote & share their lifelong learning experience. Life-long learning ability is extremely important for students and will make them competent in theirfuture careers. Their self-learned content and life-long learning experience might be
improvement, personnel turnover reduction, cost reduction, and profit improvement, as well as intangible outcome change, such as customer satisfaction improvement and employee morale growth. When applied to higher education, the evaluation of the Result Level refers to the career success of graduates, the admission rate of higher level learning, the service society, the social reputation of colleges and universities, etc., which can be explicitly realized through the questionnaire of graduates, the evaluation of employing departments, the recognition degree of services, etc. According to the definition of the Result Level in the Kirkpatrick's evaluation model, the evaluation of the Result Level of engineering ethics education should be expressed as
of sociopoliticalenvironments, and providing resources for action [19]. 2We scaffold our training according to the years of experience that UGTAs have in our program(Figure 1). In the summer of their first year, UGTAs learn foundational concepts related toGIDBEA; in the second year, power and privilege; and in the third year, strategies for engagingGIDBEA in their future careers. Training ahead of the spring semester offers time for conceptreinforcement and reflection on the fall. By scaffolding the training over the UGTAs’ three-yeartenure in the program, we seek to sustain engagement as TAs put their knowledge to practice ininteractions with

Graduateadvisors’ academic status and their years of experience in advising students will have an impacton their relations with their international students.

These students tend to have noemployment responsibilities and are, therefore, able to dedicate themselves exclusively to theirstudies. Some of this research, including [3], analyzed the issue in the context of the forcedvirtualization of education due to the COVID-19 pandemic.The closest reference found in the literature to the case of working students are [4] and [5]. Thestudy in [5] addressed the use of flipped classrooms in a face-to-face geometry course forengineering students in which much of the class was composed of employed adult learners.The present study's central aim is to
develop the necessary connections between courses,concepts and applications that engineering professionals require in their careers. In thiswork-in-progress study, we present one aspect of a larger engineering research program that aimsto develop such activities and promote knowledge transfer.The goal of this larger program is to develop an intervention that promotes knowledge transferand helps make the links between a student’s courses more explicit. The study is based on priorresearch [8,9] that observed student difficulties in applying mathematical concepts in anengineering context and which piloted a 3-stage intervention aimed at promoting the transfer ofknowledge from mathematics to an engineering course. The piloted intervention was based

Seeing students takeownership of their approach and asking insightful questions about others was rewarding for theinstructors. They used Google slides to work collaboratively with all students contributing.

curriculum chartThroughout the life of the ET program, the two senior design classes, as well as research, educational, andhands-on projects embedded in other high-level classes, were used to supplement the knowledge andskills of the ET students to equip them with the important skills and prepare them for their career. At theend of these projects, students conclude their experience and present their work at local conferences,professional meetings, and school showcases. This comes in the form of oral presentations, posters, aswell as professional conference proceedings [1 - 11]. Furthermore, some groups prepare a detailed studentmanual for the project they completed so that it can be used later on to guide other groups in getting thesame knowledge

Developing more effective teams in which gender and racialminorities can exhibit their potential and enhance their capabilities adds another layer to theimportance of the subject. Teamwork skills are generally developed in group activities, althoughtypically there is no formal training for that, and it is left to students to practice. The currentstudy explored different aspects of teamwork in engineering programs, especially with a focus onthe role of gender and race. For this purpose, participants were categorized based on their genderand race, and since the percentage of non-white

during the decadesleading up to the Internet era. Beginning in the mid-1980s, the field of engineering educationstarted to respond to numerous reports that there needed to be changes made to engineeringeducation. An increased emphasis on synthesis and design, open-ended problem solving,development of management and communications skills, professional development, and career-long learning were all included in this call for change. This response was in reaction to aperceived need to correct a multiple decades long emphasis on engineering science that occurredpost-World War II, tilting the engineering education field away from engineering practice andthe new realities of a global economy that demanded skill sets not emphasized at the time [8

IntroductionColleges and universities are trying to keep pace with the increasing mental health needs of students.However, it has been documented that students’ attitudes towards seeking help are still a barrier to the useof available resources, and such attitudes vary across student subpopulations, with engineering studentsbeing less likely to seek help for mental health conditions (MHCs) than
in Japan and Malaysia and found that greaterethics integration in engineering curriculum correlated more positively to students attitudetowards ethics and their educational objectives for ethics being attained. We observed similaradvantages to having greater ethics exposure in our curriculum.Students found that the access to engineering-related ethics education within the engineeringcurriculum was limited, and the existing philosophy and ethics courses were interesting andexposed them to thought-provoking material. Still, students struggled to relate their philosophyand theology education to their careers in the engineering industry. In our work, we have foundthat dialogue drives expanding of the mind. A lot of the discussion, even on

To address this gap, this paper proposes a framework and models to help educators identify available CT experiences to incorporate them into their lessons.

In addition to the personal harm done to instructors, biascan derail the careers of minority-group instructors as course evaluations often play an large rolein determining tenure and promotion [18, 19].
