An ability to understand ethical and professional responsibilities and the impact of technical and/orscientific solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts. 6. An ability to functioneffectively on teams that establish goals, plan tasks, meet deadlines, and analyze risk and uncertainty. Theobjective of this project is to develop new and refine available tools for assessing some of the soft skillsthat would fulfill ANSAC requirements. It is expected to finalize a set of tools, as outcomes, and havethem tested in the classrooms by the end of the project.Introduction and BackgroundConstruction is an interconnected process.

number of different fields.Bioengineering: A large body of research on the incorporation of adaptive expertise inundergraduate curricula stems from the field of bioengineering. Much of this work derives fromresearchers connected to the the VaNTH Engineering Research Center for BioengineeringEducational Technologies, funded by NSF with the aim of “developing the educational resourcesto prepare for the future of bioengineering” (Linsenmeier 2002). The educational strategiespursued as part of this project were based on the “How People Learn” (HPL) framework(Bransford, 2000), which suggests that learning environments be: ● Student centered: use students’ current capabilities as a starting point for learning ● Knowledge centered: focus teaching

aspects of switching from face-to-face to on-lineinstruction was to ensure that ABET student outcomes were still being met in the courses.Faculty especially had to address how student outcomes that rely on lab experimentation, studentteamwork, and capstone presentations would be demonstrated. For lab experimentation,engineering programs purchased new software to give students a similar experience to being in-person. The computer science program was able to continue to use the same software utilized inthe face-to-face instruction. Virtual conference software allowed for students to continuesynchronous meetings for teamwork and for the capstone project presentations. The SEASDirector of Student Engagement held weekly meetings with students so they

engineering classroom. These exercises can rangefrom a simple poll or discussion in class to the extreme of completely flipping a classroom in whichstudents learn content outside the class and use class time to work on problem sets, active learningexercises, projects, or similar activities. The latter extreme hopes to allow students to work onproblems in a more controlled and collaborative environment than doing problem sets at home ontheir own. Flipped classrooms have shown positive results in some engineering courses, but thisis not universal for all implementations in engineering courses with some studies showing mixedresults in learning outcomes [4].At Villanova University, all mechanical engineering students are required to take a

Technology uses and limitations, in turn, impact society.This creates a largely unexplored opportunity––one in which quantum computing can beintroduced to young students through project-based learning units in which the driving questionand ways of making sense of that question are driven by real-world engineering applications ofquantum computing. The NGSS specify integration of “three dimensions” of science learning:(1) disciplinary core ideas, (2) science and engineering practices, and (3) crosscutting ideas thatspan across scientific disciplines (e.g., structure and function). Instruction should thereforesupport students to work on design solutions to interdisciplinary problems that engage them inauthentic science and

Aninternational network of Fellows could establish a replicable program framework, standards, anddesirable outcomes at universities across the globe. Such a network could lead the way inleveraging globally minded engineering students throughout the world towards a commonpurpose, uniting students who are equipped with the capabilities to lead and inspire the world.An international network would oversee: • Standards for organization, such as an ethos, course curriculum, participant prerequisites, program requirements, assessment, and partner responsibilities. • Coordination of an annual project to promote

The success of this project will be measured in two parts: comparing the volume of trashto recycle and conducting another survey to view student and faculty outlooks. Comparing thevolumes gives quantitative data to demonstrate the progress while knowing people’s outlookscan help explain the current status and how to improve. For example, if the general consensus isstill that it is confusing, then further instruction needs to be given. It could be through moreinformative meetings or signs.

call their version of vectors and linearalgebra. The math expectations usually exceed typical computer science requirements, whichleaves instructors of game physics limited choices: showing formulas without derivation (a kindof “hand-waving”) teaching abstract concepts using physics APIs, e.g., [40, 50-53], reducingmathematical complexity, or perhaps raising the expectations to graduate level or beyond.Given that my students already tend to use physics APIs in group projects in other courses, Ihave concentrated on using smaller examples to develop mastery of the concepts. With regard tophysics APIs, I have a section of the course where students use an API, but I also warn thestudents—why use a sledgehammer when a ballpeen hammer will suffice
