By comparing theviewpoints of professors and students, we identify a new classification of teaching methods and how theyare perceived by students in order to help engineering educators better prepare students to critically reflecton the social responsibility dimensions of their future careers. 1I.

The program is focused on graduateengineering students but is open to graduate students from all programs. Students also choose mentorsfrom within and outside the university with the goal of increasing their sense of belonging to the field andtheir identities as research engineers. As part of this program, a pilot study is in progress, aimed atperforming a full-scale network analysis of student interactions. A web-based survey was administered tocollect information about students in and outside the College of Engineering who participate in the GRIDprogram sessions. The survey was

After completing the required course, some studentsagreed that the entrepreneurship content was useful, but others argued it should be voluntary.However, most students found the skills learned from entrepreneurship to be useful for personaldevelopment and general career preparation. As another example, an entrepreneurship clubfailed, with the faculty member hypothesizing that there was not enough momentum from thestudents since those who took entrepreneurship courses were not interested in continuing withthe club [3].1.2 Entrepreneurial MindsetAs an alternative to teaching formal entrepreneurship in a silo, engineering faculty have begun tointroduce the topics and skills related to entrepreneurship in more

Permutation sortingconsisted of eight categories capturing whether the participants scored points and whether theywere satisfied with their random condition assignment. The categories are duplicated for eachexperimental condition for a total of eight. These categories are listed in Table 2. The primarysource of data for permutation sorting

The last option will be harder to implement at our program, as it wouldrequire elimination of another core course in the existing curriculum. We believe that parallelismand concurrency are fundamental topics in computer engineering and should permeate thecurriculum. By adding the concepts slowly as modules to existing courses, we hope to encourageand motivate more students to pursue parallel and distributive computing in the senior level andchoose it as a future career. In 2019, we obtained an internal grant from the college to helpfacilitate our efforts. The remaining of the paper

Students in an M3 based CTEcan engage in Making and production concepts in an applied setting, directly applying knowledgein the design, prototyping, and production of end-use products. Where students are lackingknowledge in a certain domain, students can seek solutions through their peers, mentors, or onlinecommunities.
