Professional responsibility is modeledand practiced throughout as timeliness, respect, appropriate dress, appropriate language are allmade explicit with continuous feedback coming from faculty and staff. Teamwork skills areprovided in seminars and practiced in design teams. Multiple workshops per week address topicssuch as: inclusion, ethical action, leadership, reflection, management, happiness, life-workbalance, overcoming adversity, and communication. Each week during the EDP students writethree one-page learning journal entries, most of which are reflective prompts from some aspectof professional learning. These student reflections related to professional

Some institutions haveadopted a fully online instructional approach, while others provide a blended learning type, usingsupportive systems and implementing tools such as Moodle, Blackboard, Atutor, and CanvasLMS,among others. Effective online class is important for achieving institutional goals of both teachingand learning in higher education.

In the early 2000s, engineering professional societies reportedunderdeveloped writing and presentation skills in entry-level job candidates while, at the sametime, stressing the time spent in a typical engineer’s day on communication tasks [1, 2]. At thesame time, ABET adopted new criteria for evaluating and accrediting engineering programs [3].The criteria focused on developing “soft skills” including teamwork, ethics, and effectivecommunication, among others. The importance of soft skills has only grown in the interveningyears. Among ABET’s student outcomes as listed in 2019-2020 is “an ability to apply written,oral, and graphical communication in broadly-defined technical and non-technical environments;and an

This course combines a lecture (common for all sections of the course) and alaboratory component to help students not only to learn about various major engineeringdisciplines but also to pick up effective and transferrable skills to become better engineeringstudents. The course covers many important modules necessary for introductory engineeringdesign courses, namely - engineering design, engineering software, engineering research,engineering ethics, using the Makerspace, and evaluation and presentation of engineering data.

This observationemphasizes the need for more early education about positive career expectations and the work ittakes to achieve the valued engineering career. While programs, like AcES, often focus onhelping students use academic resources, building cohorts to facilitate feelings of inclusion, andinteracting with faculty, mentors, and practicing engineers to facilitate the development ofpositive career expectations, perhaps there are additional characteristics that students need aswell. Perhaps first-year engineering programs should also consider ways to help students toadopt a growth mindset [12] and a strong work ethic to prepare them for the workload they willlikely experience.

In addition, consideration ofdepth was implicit across all the attributes in Lavi et al.’s assessment in that each attribute wasscored on a scale from zero, or “no expression of attribute understanding”, to three, that was “fullexpression of attribute understanding” [23, p. 42].A couple assessments examined the breadth in terms of types of issues considered across all theidentified elements. In Rehmann et al.’s assessment the evaluation of rich pictures includedwhether there were elements from at least five of the following seven types of issues:“engineering, social, ethical

Perhapssurprisingly, even in the popular culture design problems, this missing element may bemeaningfulness or relevance [15], a central tenant of constructionist learning [6].Engineering courses tend to privilege the technical aspects of engineering [16], though analysisof authentic engineering design practice characterizes this work as sociotechnical [17, 18], andresearch has increasingly suggested reflecting this in engineering programs is valuable [19, 20],providing students with opportunities to grapple with complex factors and ethics [21, 22]. Suchproblems create opportunities to connect with the

Historically, they have established powerrelationships among authors, ideas, and larger sociotechnical systems within the university[26].Our citations reflect our reading practices while establishing field boundaries and contours andultimately funneling into the larger economy of the university. They undergird this universityeconomy in a number of ways: (a) we form communities of practice/discourse communities inhow we cite, excluding and including particular ways of knowing; (b) we give particular ideaspower and visibility in how we cite; (c) we decide whose work matters, who should be tenuredand promoted, who belongs; and (d) we teach ethics and intellectual property through citations.These
more design alternatives to better solve the problem. It isagreed that such attribute can only be developed by exposing students to the experience of open-ended problem solving which includes linking engineering science knowledge to complex, real-life design problems. Apart from the engineering and technical issues, these problem solvingactivities should include extra- and trans-disciplinary and soft factors, such as economic,environmental, sustainability, manufacturability ethical, health and safety, social and politicalconsiderations. It is well-accepted that such problem-based learning type is only achieved byusing quite complex project scenarios, and therefore requires careful planning and integrationinto the rest of the curriculum in

By mindsets, the key ingredients identified includecreative inquiry-led approach, design thinking, systems thinking, global citizenship, and ethical decisionmaking.There was unanimous agreement that more engagement can only be achieved by bringing social innovationinto the classroom through projects that ask students to work on real problems. This is consistent withBloom’s Taxonomy [12]. Some of the emerging constructs or prescriptions include what is now termed,“Fruits of Innovation,” i.e., what are the students tasked with creating – knowledge

Although most students at this institutionparticipate in experiential learning, the framework aims to provide students with richer, moremeaningful experiences through intentional engagement and reflection. Through several informalconversations, both students and employers have expressed the need for students to reflect andbe able to better communicate the value of their experiences in relation to their technical skillsand career aspirations. This point is reinforced by recent industry reports which emphasize thedifficult time employers have in finding
