Students useddifferent online tools to permit proper team coordination, which is not as effective as in-personmeetings, but thanks to the efforts of everyone, the project was executed according to schedule.Academic AssessmentFigure 17 shows the results of surveys that measure the compliance of the course learningoutcomes (LO) during the semester according to student perception. In both projects thepercentage of students that agree or strongly agree that the projects covered the course learningoutcomes is 96%, which corresponds to a ‘high’ student satisfaction.Students appreciate working with the evaluation of existing structures, principally because theyfeel that the project scopes have practical applications in their engineering career

Additionally, current ABET program specific criteria states thatthe achieved synthesis (design) level of one of the three curriculum areas must be in a context that workswithin the architectural design.

Inretrospect, I should have requested release time for course development.Working with the physics department on common courses was rewarding, and should lead topartnerships with other departments interested in materials topics.The most disheartening part of the process has been the lack of interest or support from theuniversity administration, especially with respect to laboratory funding. Conversely, the mostrewarding part has been the response from students. Classes are now filling well before thesemester begins, and student feedback shows that

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Design Review: A Teaching Tool for Project-Based LearningAbstractThe stability of our nation’s infrastructure depends on the precise work of educated engineers.How can we teach young, aspiring engineers the importance of reviewing each other’s workbefore they enter this critical profession? This paper presents an evidence-based study of howapplying a design review process to a project-based academic setting benefits engineeringstudents and prepares them for successful careers. Specific objectives of the study were togenerate conclusions regarding a

Acknowledgingthat this divide persists in engineering education, this paper reports on an ongoing study ofindustry and academic expectations for engineering students’ professional communication topresent the development and implementation of embedded professional communication topics inan engineering curricula. In prior work, observational data from interviews with human resourcepersonnel, managers, and focus groups of early-career engineers at five companies of regionaland national status reported on the genres commonly used in the workplace. The status ofprofessional and interpersonal communication instruction was assessed in the current mechanicaland civil engineering program curriculums at

.This experience allowed us to go to the next level: to participate in the curricular innovation offour careers, introducing innovation and entrepreneurship subjects within the educational system.However, the Chilean social unrest in October 2019 and the world COVID-19 pandemic forcedus quickly to rethink how to approach, in this new reality, the subjects we were alreadyfacilitating in person.The critical question was, is it possible to bring the richness of face-to-face experience focusedon active methods from the constructivist educational paradigm to the virtual world while alsorespecting expected learning? We understood the importance of knowing the people we had towork with, students and teachers, so the first thing was to understand how
represented only for the Fall 2019 ELC cohort. In order to examine how thepandemic may have impacted the academic success of students in the ELC, it is necessary tocompare student outcomes for the Fall 2019 ELC cohort with other students who alsoexperienced the pandemic at the same point in their academic career. Further, since theuniversity implemented temporary policies for modified grading options in the Spring 2020semester, using only GPA as the student outcome for comparison is inadequate; in addition toGPA, comparing utilization of the modified grading policy as well as completion rate willprovide a more complete picture of academic outcomes in the Spring 2020 semester. The nextsection will detail the modified grading options offered in Spring

The study collects pre- and post-survey data at the beginning and end of thesemester, which may not be sufficient time for students to absorb lessons regarding thesociotechnical nature of engineering from the course. Anecdotally, we have observed students’appreciation of this course increasing as they approach graduation, more so than when they arein or have just completed the course. Future studies may recollect the post survey data later instudents’ college career after the lessons learned in this course have had more time to sink in.ConclusionThe work described in this paper contributes to the growing body of knowledge related to socialjustice education in engineering.

The common exam times in this course model also reduce the total amount of time thatinstructors must spend developing new exams (by a factor of two if there are two coursesections).Implementation by early career faculty members (comments by Dr. Roccabianca). Thesuccessful implementation of the new assessment model requires some significant adjustmentsnot only by the students, as discussed above, but also by the instructor. For example, crafting anew exam during most weeks requires the instructor to invest a significant amount of time andenergy throughout the semester. Secondly, the significant reduction of lecture time means theinstructor must restructure much of the class

engineering design, such as systematic contexts, decision making, and collaboration [25].But in the meantime, the engineering design could be an effective activity for teaching liberalarts and engineering students how technology and society interact from the perspective of thecreator of technology, the designer or engineer [26]. In other words, engineering design acts as abridge that smoothly connects between liberal arts and engineering education. Most liberal artsuniversities expose freshmen to engineering design in their first year. On the one hand, first-yearstudents in general lack a clear understanding of the engineering profession and its differentdisciplines. Students are vulnerable to pursuing majors that diverge from their career
