with properly selected NGOs they might be ready todeliver. Moving beyond the dangers and perils of trips to "save the poor," the HumanitarianEngineering (HE) program at Colorado School of Mines (Mines) is developing newinteractions with socially responsible and accountable NGOs to ensure that communities areempowered through engineering projects for sustainable community development. To ensurethat these projects can better serve and empower communities, this paper shows 1) howengineers can map their partnerships with NGOs; 2) how to develop engineering designcourses where students learn human-centred problem definition and explore designchallenges with NGO partners; and 3) how to develop relationships with NGOs so studentscan have community

Many faced personal/discriminatory interviewquestions, biases, and assumptions about what they could or could not do, in addition to beingsubjected to explicit discouragement and gender discrimination. The paper offersrecommendations for addressing these issues as well as further areas of research to pursue. Bybringing to light the issues surrounding females entering engineering professions in Qatar, thisstudy offers a contribution to women’s role and empowerment in the region.IntroductionWhile attracting women to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fieldshas been a steady concern in Western countries, female students across the Arab world aredominating most STEM educational programs [1-2].

identified collaboration and communication as core aspects ofengineering work. Discussions of other social aspects of engineering, such as engaging withstakeholders, collaborating with users, or considering the societal implications of engineeringwork, were relatively limited. Understanding engineering students’ beliefs about the socialaspects of engineering work based on their previous experiences can help us better alignengineering curricula to promote more holistic and inclusive views of engineering.1. IntroductionEngineering is an inherently social discipline. The social aspects of engineering work include thevarious ways that engineers, within the context of their professional roles, impact, interact with,and relate to both broader society and

Here are some key pointers from a recent publication (Walsh). - 65% of children entering elementary school this year will work in a job that hasn’t been invented yet - 49% of current jobs have the potential for machine replacement, with 60% having at least 1/3 of their activities automated - 80% of the skills trained for in the last 50 years can now be outperformed by machines - At a global level, technically automatable activities touch the equivalent of 1.1

Specifically, this student conductorless orchestra brought a New Yorkaudience to its feet. Though it was not OCO’s best 2017 concert, the performance connectedviscerally and crossed the footlights. As has repeatedly been observed, students talented in math, science, and engineering areoften talented in music, suggesting that a viable musical presence within an engineeringcurriculum makes sense. A first approach towards introducing the conductorless orchestramodel to other schools will occur at the 2019 ASEE Zone 1 International Conference in Niagara 3Falls, New York.

These students are more likely to domore poorly in their courses and have lower graduation rates than other students. In looking forways to meet the needs of these underprepared college students, one-to-one tutoring has becomea service that is most often provided to them. Tutoring has sometimes been called the goldstandard to supplement effective instruction [1]. Many universities have also adoptedSupplemental

The sophomore year is a defining moment in the college career, and also a timethat is filled with uncertainty and a sense of losing support students had in their freshmen year [2,4-6]. We recognized the need for students to strengthen their motivation, resolve, and capabilityto persevere through the challenges that tend to hit them particularly hard when they reach theirfirst engineering courses, typically in their sophomore year. We hypothesized that servicelearning projects during the students’ freshman-to-sophomore transition would address theseneeds and thus build engineering identity and improve their academic performance in theirsophomore year

Success in this courseis critical to success in follow-up mechanics courses and upper-level engineering courses. Datahas been collected on students’ performance on homework, quizzes and exams, and on thestudents’ thoughts on learning and course delivery. Thus far, it has been concluded that the use oftraditional hand-written homework, frequent assessment via quizzes [1], or the Pearson MasteringEngineering [2] software for formative assessment did not have a significant impact on students’performance on exams. It was also observed that neither traditional nor online homework scorescorrelated well with exam scores; however

By sitting with tension as a guiding metaphorical framework for thisstudy, we attempt to break up the dualism that exposes itself in engineering education.Our discussions in this paper are informed by our ontology or sense of being. Such explorationsin ontology are not traditional to engineering. We bring in this construct from the liberal artsbecause of the lack of such a device in engineering scholarship.
