cloud computing, the most common theme in responses was preparingfor the future. Students noted, “Cloud is the next big thing within the Tech field, and I want to beahead of the game,” and “it is a relatively new field, and has much room for expansion. I wouldlove to be part of its expansion.” Several students’ responses were related to the theme of the jobopportunities that would be available to them once they earned a certificate. One studentreported, “I needed something to boost my potential in a tight market,” and another noted “I wantto advance in the IT field as much as possible, IT is an ever-expanding career field, and I won’tbe left behind.” Figure 5.

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Do Engineers Need A Code of Ethics?AbstractProfessional organizations and societies may have a Code of Ethics, Rules of Conduct, Canonsof Conduct, or some similarly named set of operating rules governing the expected ethicalconduct of their membership. In many cases, in the preamble of the documents will be found theword “guidelines”, or words within the document such as “perceived harm” or “where possible”.These words provide the engineer some personal

Her consulting experience spanned eight years and included extensive work with the US military in Japan, Korea, and Hawaii. In 2008 Elizabeth shifted the focus of her career to education and academia, later receiving her Ph.D. in Civil Engineering and Sustainable Water Resources. Her work highlights a commitment to undergraduate engineering education and its improvement through best teaching practices. Her research efforts target ways to support and encourage diversity among students and how to create an inclusive learning environment. Professional interests include undergraduate research opportunities, service learning, STEM outreach

Society for Engineering Education, 2021ABSTRACTThe session will report on the success of the last four years of implementing a collaborative DOEproject between two state colleges and a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) university with acombined 140,000+ undergraduate students. The session will also report the revision of aSystemic, Evidenced-Based, and Student-Centered (SE-SC) framework as initially designed in theDOE project. The original SE-SC framework aims to maximize the number of academically-talented, Hispanic students who complete their AS degrees at State Colleges and transfer to a 4-year institution to complete their B.S. degree and are career-ready to enter engineering andcomputer science (ECS). The revised SE-SC framework addresses

The program stemmed from Pasadena City College’s Early Career UndergraduateResearch Experience (eCURe) program and is a component of the Micro Nano Technology EducationCenter (MNT-EC), which is located at PasadenaCity College and has both community collegeand research university partners [22]. MNT-ECis an NSF Advanced
(5) year contracts with option to renew. Conditions forrenewal are included in the agreement.2.2. The ImplementationThe implementation of the HPAT model requires a combined effort of both partners at all stagesof a student’s career. This requires an early and active participation of the 4-year partner from thetime of admission, until the student completes the bachelor’s or master’s degree. Additionally, itimplies a continuous participation of the 2-year partner through mentoring, and longitudinalprogram assessment for continuous improvement. Various curricular, co-curricular, andextracurricular activities are encouraged to be developed in each of the partner institutions withsome overlap whenever possible. This will support student
highly influenced by the kind of work that we envision for them [1].Economies of the future will favor individuals who possess flexibility across multiplecompetencies and can grow and learn with the evolving workplace [2]. To prepare students forsuch a future workspace of flexible high-mix short-run production, the learning experience needsto be designed to integrate knowledge/skills across multiple technology areas within an authenticpractice. Career and Technical Education (CTE) program in high schools provides a platform todo this. The development of such a CTE course, which intends for students to develop a holisticunderstanding of a range of technologies, is grounded in the theory of expansive learning.
