Accreditation committees then evaluate whether engineering programsmeet the accreditation standards. Within the UK, several Professional EngineeringInstitutions (PEIs) are licensed to undertake individual accreditation events on behalf of theEC, something that Armstrong [59] claims result in ‘lack of precision and clarity’ of the LOs.As is proposed to be the case in the USA [58], [60] it is likely

require resources, and so it is natural to assess their effectiveness. While short-termoutcomes like first-year performance and retention are commonly used, they are proxies for ourultimate goals: preparing students for future success in their chosen fields, and doing so in areasonable amount of time. Metrics for these goals include four-year graduation rates and,somewhat crudely, GPA at graduation. Although student success in any academic programshould be celebrated, at the national level there remains need to graduate students in engineeringand other STEM fields [15], [16]. Doing so in four years, rather than six or more, is more cost-effective and launches students into their careers sooner. Thus, the primary research questionsthat this paper

and non-STEMfaculty in how professors perceive their responsibilities to students. STEM faculty felt moreresponsible for preparing students for careers and graduate school, but they reported lessresponsibility to consider emotional or moral development and to foster tolerance and learnabout difference [42]. Because of these perceptions of faculty, students may struggle in STEMenvironments to be respected as whole people from diverse backgrounds who are multi-facetedlearners and thinkers.STEM fields continue to face problems with diversity and inclusion and with achievement gapsfor underrepresented groups, despite widely adopted missions to improve these conditions.Gonzalez, Hall, Benton, Kanhai, and Nunez report that “diverse environments

It would be verydifficult to ask students to predict their peak loads based on calculations given the highlyindeterminate designs. The third potential enhancement is to conduct formal assessment focusedon the students’ interest, understanding, and attitudes about STEM careers. One possible surveyto use is the Student Attitudes toward STEM (S-STEM) survey [28].Acknowledgements The authors would like to thank Ms. Amy Preis, Ms. Sue Ratz, Ms. Rachel Rimmerman,and Mr. Darren Green for their assistance in organizing and hosting the competition for the pastseveral years.

They were: ultimate flexure, ultimate shear and elastic stresses. These threetopics are key to understanding this type of structural system and thus must be included in a course. In addition to seeing the topic breakdown (Figure 1), approximately 10-15 industry experts thatregularly attend the Penn State University Career Fair were asked what topics should be covered from anindustry perspective.

This skill is fundamental to any upper-level engineering classand sets them up to succeed in the years to come. This Kit gives students the chance to catch upquickly with peers and allows them to develop fundamental skills in a hands-on setting.The creation of this kit occurred over three months, during the summer of 2021.

to adapt to the instructor’s teaching method which helps establish a connection with the instructor that lasts the entire semester. Situations like the pandemic break that bond which causes confusion and lack of concentration and cognitive distress among students. The disruption in learning urges students to explore alternative learning approaches such as virtual or spatial learning, gamification, and even solitary learning which are different from traditional teaching methods used in the classroom. Convoluted information instills a feeling of stress and withdrawal which will be detrimental to their career. With the availability of vaccination, the transition back to in-person classes was feasible. The

The field of engineering falls into Macintyre’s practice definition. His point here isthat to excel in a practice, the exercise of virtue is required. Virtue becomes the mechanism forthe engineer that will guide them through the infinite number of ethical situations experienced intheir careers and through which they will achieve the internal goods of practicing engineering.Virtue in

requiring a sequence of remedial courses with no credits toward the student’s degree. However, this may be discouraging, especially at the beginning of their career. MATH 101 overcomes these difficulties by following a simple but practical adaptive design based upon a branching algorithm, where the students can learn the material at their own pace. Due to its virtual format and flexibility, this course can be made available to our prospective students even before they start college. We are willing to measure the results of the latter idea, and we will report our findings in our future work.Figure 8: Inner Adaptive Scheme flow chart for unit X of the course.
