. The main motivations for this requirement are to boost students’confidence in applying analytical tools and for them to fully appreciate the level of detailneeded to complete a project. Additionally, since this is a classic and well-recognized problemin ME and ECE, the students would have the opportunity to showcase their completed projectsin portfolios or on resumes.4. Technical content goals. To achieve the above goals, we recognized that course contentwould have to be reduced in comparison to traditional treatments of the material. Noting thatcontent knowledge relevant to an engineer’s career is constantly and rapidly evolving, e.g., see[7], we believe that a reduction in specific technical content is an appropriate tradeoff tofacilitate
Engineering, Ergonomics, and DesignThinking. The objective was to build the needed knowledge drawn from these fields so thatstudents can apply these concepts to usability and be able to identify how usability isinterconnected to these fields. The third step in the structure discusses how students will use the information in a career setting. This step covers the overarching goal of the course, which is to prepare students for their future job, therefore this step was incrementally covered throughout the semester. In week-1, the instructor discussed the common qualifications required in a usability engineer based on recent job posts. Requirements were explained to students and highlighted to show how they are in

learn more), and engage in the process oflearning. For instructors, the general attempt is to keep up with the students' learning pace byadjusting the course activities, and possibly content to the students’ capabilities. At the same time,the instructor is seeking ways to communicate ideas to the students in meaningful and relatableways. The goal of the instructor is to facilitate their learning and provide them the ability to employthese concepts in their future courses and careers. The hope is that students can learn, be engagedin the process of learning, and can adapt to what they learn as they progress in their careers.Expectations, Expected Role of Students: Students ViewAs a student, the expectation is that the instructor is fair/unbiased

/Communion value system – otherwiseknown as the fundamental dimensions [14],[15], or the Big Two [16]. This dichotomousframework of personal value (and subsequent motivation) was initially proposed by Bakan in1966 and was designed to categories people into two sets of “human existence” [17]: theAgentic (those preferring “getting ahead” [18]) versus the Communal (those preferring“getting along” [18]) [17],[18].Diekman et al. [19] argued that “STEM careers are perceived as less likely than careers inother fields to fulfil communal goals (e.g., Working with or helping other people)” in theirpaper, and indeed, found that “STEM careers, relative to other careers, were perceived toimpede communal goals” and that “communal-goal endorsement negatively

Preliminary analysis highlights specific aspects of the culture ofengineering influencing this journey, such as a lack of information on depression being sharedwhile in college, the de-emphasis on socializing in his first job, and stigmatization faced onceemployers learned about his illness [21]. These findings, although limited, highlight theimportance of studying engineering graduate students’ mental health.In an effort to uncover the landscape of research about engineering graduate student mentalhealth, a scoping literature review was conducted by

explosion, ABET was advised to adapttheir accreditation requirements to incorporate process safety [13], [20]. This adaptation isevident in ABET’s student outcome that states that a student will demonstrate “an ability torecognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informedjudgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic,environmental, and societal contexts” [6]. Ever since, process safety in undergraduate curriculahas been a key component in training today’s engineers for their future careers [7]. However, forstudents who have only seen process safety situations through coursework, it may be challengingto pivot to more complex situations in a professional setting
-12students have less exposure to electrical engineering (EE) than to many other STEM subjects.Within EE, the focus is often on introducing students to robotics or electronics, such as electricalcircuits, microprocessor programming and system integration (e.g., [1] - [3]). However, EE spansa much broader spectrum. The topics of communications and networking are often not presentedto high school students at all, and students are unaware of the fascinating challenges connectedwith careers in this direction.The current pandemic, entailing remote education, offers a unique opportunity to teachcommunications and networking. Remote delivery platforms such as Zoom can be leveraged toillustrate communications and networking concepts in new interactive ways
