collaborative instruction among faculty in ComputerScience and Philosophy [1], [2]. Due to challenges with implementing ethics as a stand alonecourse, recent efforts have focused on integrating ethical reasoning in existing courses asstudents are learning technical concepts, to instill that ethical reasoning is needed while writingcode and developing technology, instead of being an isolated activity [1], [3].In developing a model for embedding ethics in the computer science curriculum at HarvardUniversity, Grosz et al. [1] addressed ethics via software design and verification in introductoryundergraduate programming courses. However, introductory engineering computing coursesmay not have these emphases and focus on using basic concepts to solve

However, thistechnology is not widely used in education due to the high cost of the hardware and the hightechnical expertise required for data processing. The continuous evolution of this technologyover the years made it more affordable for use in the classroom. Laser scanning providesexcellent opportunities to enhance the construction engineering management curriculum. Thispaper presents an extensive literature review on laser scanning technology applications andevaluates the feasibility of integrating it in the construction engineering managementcurriculum. It was found that seven out of the 20 student learning outcomes required

the need for developing skills inCybersecurity. Though many Universities offer a master’s degree in Cybersecurity, it isimpractical to fill this huge demand for Cybersecurity through only graduate degree holders.After careful analysis, it has become evident that there is a gap in the curriculum as it relates totraining for Cybersecurity concepts in foundational computing courses for students. To be morespecific, there is relatively less focus on the infusion of Cybersecurity concepts in undergraduatecomputing courses and its impact on classroom practices. This paper serves to address this gapby providing an experience in infusing, teaching, and assessing Cybersecurity modules in variousundergraduate computing courses that immerse students in

origins to the 1994 ASEE report Engineering Education for aChanging World, which, among many other recommendations, asserted that “engineeringeducation must take into account the social, economic, and political contexts of engineeringpractice…” [2, pp. 20–21]. The report emphasized that contextual skills should be deliveredthrough multi- and interdisciplinary coursework, integrated into the existing curriculum, andfocused on an understanding of the ethical dimensions of engineering. A decade later, theNational Academies report Educating the Engineer of 2020 re-emphasized the importance of thethemes of interdisciplinarity, societal context, and ethics to the engineer of the then-future [3].In 2018, Dr. Ruth Graham, in her report on The Global

To add to this gap in literature, this paper analyzes quantitative responses of genderand sexual minority students’ perceptions of the engineering curricula from the survey conductedin 2018.Relevant LiteratureThe predominant normative marker of science and scientists in the U.S. has historically andcontinues to be based on White cisgender male perspectives [1]–[7]. Not surprisingly, thishomogenous and heterogenous perspective leads to pedagogical practices in which minoritizedstudents underperform compared to when innovative pedagogical models are used, such asflipped classrooms [8], [9]. This long-standing conceptualization of science and scientists alsoresults in an engineering curriculum that deems “issues of communication, justice

In the early 2000s, engineering professional societies reportedunderdeveloped writing and presentation skills in entry-level job candidates while, at the sametime, stressing the time spent in a typical engineer’s day on communication tasks [1, 2]. At thesame time, ABET adopted new criteria for evaluating and accrediting engineering programs [3].The criteria focused on developing “soft skills” including teamwork, ethics, and effectivecommunication, among others. The importance of soft skills has only grown in the interveningyears. Among ABET’s student outcomes as listed in 2019-2020 is “an ability to apply written,oral, and graphical communication in broadly-defined technical and non-technical environments;and an

disconnected math and engineeringconcepts can lead to decreased student motivation, lower academic performance, and reducedretention within engineering courses and majors at the university level. Additionally, the dividebetween mathematics and engineering departments’ foundations and expectations for studentscan also cause frustration among faculty. As a solution, an integrated engineering mathcurriculum, often taught by the engineering faculty at a given institution, has been proposed andeven implemented at several colleges and universities [4], [5], [6].As a leader in this curriculum shift, Wright State University developed an engineering mathcurriculum for incoming first-year engineering students over fifteen years ago [4].

Through drawing a systems map, students analyze how their project and its intended goal connect to the world around them.2. Pairwise Comparison Chart Activity. Students assume the role of various stakeholders (those invested in the project in some way) to complete a pairwise comparison chart, thus simulating how different stakeholders make trade-offs when determining important design criteria.3.
