Four overarching terms were identified in our initialinterviews: integrated, separate, implicit, and explicit, which from here will be referred to in its entirety asthe ISIE classification (Figure 2). By classifying pedagogy in these terms, it helps us to understandoverarching themes in teaching styles and how easily identifiable CSR topics are for students, as well ashow in-depth into CSR topics the techniques go. “Implicit” in this case indicates more subtle methods ofmentioning CSR, not using the term directly, and not making it the centrally focused

standardization is well-established, and the need has persisted since the inception ofpre-college engineering education (Chandler et al., 2011). The field currently lacks an adequatenumber of programs to learn from. Engineering often gets lost either as an integrated disciplineunder science standards or as a topic under technology education. The question is whetherengineering belongs embedded within science or technology education. The recent release of theFramework for P-12 Engineering Learning is a strong foundational step toward futurestandardization efforts of engineering-specific education (AEEE & ASEE, 2020). The frameworkshould lead toward generating and implementing a cohesive engineering curriculum in alignmentwith state requirements rather
frame and address problems. It isbecoming increasingly apparent that more substantive frameworks that challenge engineeringeducators to holistically integrate these concerns into curricula are necessary. Suchframeworks can help engineering educators move beyond simply modifying one or twocourses to think more systematically about how various aspects of such content can beinfused throughout the undergraduate curriculum and beyond.This paper examines how students enrolled in a second-year, project-based, use-inspired designcourse recognized, used, and understood concepts and outcomes related to a new frameworkfocused on environmentally and socially responsible engineering called Engineering for OnePlanet (EOP) [2]. The intent is to leverage these
students focus primarily on the technical aspects of the problem, asapparent in the type of data they seek to collect, many include considerations on the peopleimpacted, government interventions, and cultural values. This study sheds light on the ways thatstudents answer a real-world problem before learning technical problem-solving techniques. Theinsights from this study will be used to supplement the introductory engineering curriculum, sostudents are better positioned to integrate social, economic, and political insights with theirtechnical competencies in solving real-world problems.Introduction "An engineer and a sociologist were tasked with finding the height of a church steeple.

However,a stronger approach might be to thread systems thinking / systems engineering skills verticallythroughout the curriculum to build students’ knowledge gradually.

whileparticipation in a focused STEM program in college further increases this persistence (Ikuma etal., 2019).Self-efficacy and confidence are recognized as important factors in the effective teaching andlearning of math and science, especially for women and minorities (Alhaddab and Alnatheer,2015). As noted by Bandura (Bandura 1977), self-efficacy, “the strength of people's convictionsin their own effectiveness”, is likely to have a significant impact in STEM education (Tärning etal., 2019, Hanifa et al., 2020). Over the years, several methods and technologies have beenutilized to increase the effectiveness of mathematics curriculum including, integrated subject-based methods (Chai et al., 2019), mobile technologies (Menon et al., 2017), computer

Learning community as it isused here is simply a: “[group] of people engaged in intellectual interaction for the purpose oflearning”; a community that is a pragmatic and effective means of educating students as thesestudents get “involved in thinking, questioning, and actively seeking knowledge” (Cross, 1998,p. 9). Both faculty-to-student and peer-to-peer mentorship on academic and professional writinghave been an integral focus of these scientific learning communities, whose aims largely centeraround providing a supportive, sustainable network for both professional and

Students may take courses (eitherindividually or as a cluster to promote integrative and intentional learning) that teach designthinking methods or apply design thinking in project-based learning. The University has recentlyestablished the Ciocca Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship which, through variousfunctions, supports the development of an entrepreneurial mindset and facilitates studentventures. Within the School of Engineering, all students must complete a senior design project,in which student teams develop a solution to a specific problem statement and present anddefend their thesis at the end of the academic year, as a part of the curriculum.

The authors explored all three options insummer 2020 and chose the third option across multiple courses in our engineering andtechnology programs in fall 2020 and spring 2021. This paper presents the exploration results ofall three options and provides detailed recommendations concerning how the lab kits may be bestutilized. For analog and digital circuit labs, there are several crucial functionalities that the labkits need to provide, such as AC and DC power supplies, oscilloscopes, digital I/O’s, or FPGA,and an adequate number of channels for each.
