Many Other non-traditional automobile companies such asAmazon, Apple, Aptiv, Baidu, Nvidia, Uber are competing with traditional automakers such asAudi, Honda, GM, Huawei, Mercedez-Benz, etc. for the market share [35]. The success for autonomous cars involves smart technology involves digital map, highlyreliable and accurate sensing technology for connected systems, powerful computing, machinelearning among others. Some of the other major issues besides the autonomous drivingtechnology are consumer privacy, cybersecurity, safety regulation, ethical issues, which need tobe resolved in order to develop autonomous vehicles as a consumer product [36].

Helater found that the roles had to be redistributed because group members did not know how to dotheir parts, so the tasks were then divided by strengths and were more successfully completed.Similarly, Stanley noted that when delegating tasks for their virtual team project, pairing teammembers with tasks that fit their major helped in keeping the project going smoothly by havingcomputer science majors complete the website and the mechanical engineering majors focus onproduct design and feasibility.

programming interface (API).We developed a python script that connects to YouTube through the site’s API and searches forall the videos that belong to various computer science topics and targets audiences of varying agegroups. The topics include educational videos on computer ethics, data structures, virtual reality,calculus, linear algebra, and biocomputing. The educational videos target various age groups.The search resulted in a collection of 2550 videos. The goal of the search was to find educationalvideos relevant to these topics in computer science. However, it was possible to retrieve somevideos that were not relevant to the intended search queries. Such videos are called falsepositives and were manually removed from the collection. Following

Encouragement badges were awarded for accessing the flashcards or attending office hours; repeating these behaviors earned higher levels of the badges.Three times over the semester students are required to write something: an ethics response onday 01, written instructions for using the right-hand-rule for three-dimensional moments on day15, and a project report on day 40. Some students believe that becoming an engineer means theynever have to write anything again; while assigning writing assignments can disabuse them ofthis notion, we hoped that assigning badges would highlight some of the places where engineersuse writing skills.

The project s research questions are: 1. What does marginalization look like within engineering classrooms where teamwork is a primary feature? 2. How is marginalization legible (or not) to instructors at the classroom level? 3. What are the different ways that instructors respond to incidents of peer-to-peer marginalization? 4. How might the lessons of this work be implemented to systematically alert instructors when

Therefore, this study focuses not only the learning approaches andstrategies that these students use in our one-semester introductory engineering course, but in allof their courses.The learning objectives for the one-semester version of the introductory engineering sequenceare as follows: 1. Use guided design methodologies to analyze engineering problems in order to achieve an optimal solution. 2. Identify and analyze holistic issues that impact engineering solutions, e.g., ethical implications, stakeholder needs and interests, and constraints. 3. Collect and analyze data and information to support/inform engineering decisions. 4. Use mathematical, graphical, and physical models
administration of the Global Perspective Inventory (GPI)?Literature reviewThe NAE report on Educating the Engineer of 2020 states that the engineering graduates shouldbe “technically proficient engineers who are broadly educated, see themselves as global citizens,can be leaders in business and public service, and who are ethically grounded [5].” Most of theprograms that aim to teach cultural intelligence to engineering students opt for some form ofinternational travel, despite the challenges that it represents [4]. Although most of theseprograms do not focus solely on global engineering practices, they present unique learningopportunities that allow engineering students to experience some of the global challenges ahead.When properly conceived and

Figure 5 - average or “overall” engineering identity [15, Figs. 2, 5]. The authors reference the engineering identity as an ‘average’ in place of “overall” engineering identity. Instrument and interview (Kate & Dan) convergences: From the interviews, we found some student-reported experiences aligned with what was reported in the literature. Both participants identify an engineer as having a hard work ethic. This hard- working identity is reinforced by the high score of performance/competence on the engineering identity instrument. As reported by Godwin and Lee [15], a high score for this measure indicates having strong performance/competence beliefs or the self-beliefs to perform well and understand concepts in

Coupled with these activities, participants were enrolled in at least three of theCollege of Engineering and Technology’s project-based learning (PBL) courses, starting at thejunior level. The PBL sequence included the following courses: ENGR 350 - Engineering Practices and Principles III - Engineering project-based learning (open-ended) with emphasis on project control and engineering design processes.
