course description for Numerical Computing for Chemical Engineers course at MissouriUniversity of Science and Technology states that students will “add to their programming skillsby exploring numerical computational techniques for … chemical engineering processes.” Thechallenge is that the course is taught early in the curriculum before the students know what thosechemical engineering processes are. The course has been structured as a flipped class with classtime devoted to solving problems with the numerical tools. To provide relevance for the material,an experimental component has been added to the course. In the laboratory sessions, the studentsconduct a brief experiment or activity and then analyze that process using the
program. In addition, the center has workshops about the inclusiveclassroom, covering how to create an inclusive classroom: how to develop practices thatinclude academic belonging, and how to guide discussions about this sensitive topic. InBrazil, these inclusive programs are necessary because public universities work with a quotesprogram, and several issues should be included in industrial engineering courses. This isbecause some students need help to afford to visit some industries because they are from low-income families. Then, professors should rethink how they structure classes to integrate thesestudents.Additionally, it is important to point out that, during the pandemic, to improve the teachingand learning process, the demands of the

The 2-or-3-course series has an average of 6.1 credit hours compared to the4.7 credit hours for a single capstone design course. The capstone design experience is 4.8 hourson average if there are design courses throughout the curriculum but 5.7 hours if there are onlydesign projects sprinkled through the curriculum. The survey question did not distinguishbetween semester and quarter credit hours, but 93% of the responding institutions are on thesemester system.Either the capstone design series or single course may be offered once per year or multiple terms.At 78% of the institutions, the capstone design course or courses are offered only once

For more information about the benefits andvarious definitions of entrepreneurship education, we refer you to studies by Putro et al., (2022);Boldureanu et al. (2020); Gianiodis and Meek (2020); Ahmed et al. (2020); and Brune and Lutz(2020). The paper now turns to the main goals and curriculum practices of entrepreneurshipeducation at the high school level.entrepreneurship education in high school Many scholars have argued for the benefits of entrepreneurship education for highschools students, particularly when the entrepreneurship program is connected to STEMeducation as well as
innovative culture, and York University focused onentrepreneurial mindset in the core curriculum for undergraduate engineering and computerscience students. The program culture aspect does not fit well in the current constructive alignmentmodel; however, it is an important element that can potentially influence the learning outcomesand program design as identified by the educators.4. DiscussionEntrepreneurship education is expanding in Canada, with over 245 programs identified from 65universities. On average, each university offers four different programs, demonstrating thediversity and complexity of entrepreneurship program offerings. While these offerings are notlimited to the college of engineering, they provide multiple pathways for students

courses are designed to satisfy the “major designexperience” portion of ABET’s Curriculum outcome, they must, by definition, be “based onknowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work” [3]. Moreover, the learning in capstonedesign is not only related to discipline-based skills and knowledge, but something greater: theapplication and integration of that knowledge into the solution of a new problem, sometimes aspart of a team. This represents the sort of experience students will have as engineers once theygraduate and go on to work. Indeed, capstone design projects have evolved to prepare studentsfor “design and practice” as a supplement to core curriculum focused on “theory and research”[4], and capstone is some students’ first significant

The first dimension is school-based mental health services, which includes access to mental health professionals, such asschool psychologists or counselors, who can provide support and guidance to

Instead, design thinking,integrated or inductive-learning models, and abductive-thinking, which introduce fundamentalprinciples in the context of solving a given engineering problem, are being used as newparadigms in engineering education [8-13]. These models provide learners with an environmentfor problem-solving while offering feedback and guidance. There are also many active learningstrategies like cooperative learning, problem-based learning, hands-on learning, and computersimulation that have been shown to improve student learning and engagement [14-19]. However,many chemical engineering faculty members are not trained in these
computer science depend on persona and identity, it is critical that everyindividual working in this area have an acceptable level of ethical awareness and sensitivity, andthey must be able to make an ethical decision whenever they face an issue [2]. To achieve this,we need to teach computer and information ethics to students from undergraduate programs,along with theories and technologies in computer sciences. Recent research shows us that ethicseducation improves students’ ethical awareness and sensitivity as well as moral reasoning [3]–[4]. While many undergraduate computer science programs include ethics in their curriculum,the teaching methods, topics, target students, credit hours, and instructor expertise vary [5]–[8].There is an urgent

Researchers have worked to identify predictors of STEM persistence,both before matriculation and after. A student’s level of academic success before matriculation isa strong predictor of STEM persistence. These predictors include standardized test scores andtaking calculus in high school [9], [10].Research has found that, after matriculation, a student’s likelihood to complete an undergraduatedegree was linked to a student’s level of academic and social integration. Tinto [11] definesacademic integration by a student's academic performance and their perception of their ownacademic experience. Therefore, it

Moreover, according to the thorough review conducted by PIs, a question on theeffectiveness of the innovative learning environment, including inquiry-based and activelearning, for this kind of student learning experiences has not yet been thoroughly studied.

In that time, there has been significant growth in the profile of engineering inpre-college education, which may have resulted in these participants having more exposure to diverseengineers than the participants had in previous studies. For example, the Next Generation ScienceStandards (NGSS) were released in 2013 [6]. These standards seek to integrate engineering into thescience curriculum across grade levels. While not all states adopted NGSS, by 2018, 70% of states hadeither adopted NGSS itself or developed state-specific standards based upon NGSS, including Ohio,where this study occurred [39].
