In addition, this study also illustrates how the student’sglobal experiences, such as cultural awareness, worldwide perspectives, and interest in globalengineering careers, have changed as a result of this project. Lastly, the lessons learned from theCOVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the project implementation and what changes are beingmade for the next cohort are also discussed.Project backgroundThree public universities in the states of Texas, Nevada, and North Dakota are working togetheron the IRES project.

were any changes over the course of their college academic career. In Spring 2022 wecollected 33 EERI responses from senior engineering students, a subset of which we were able topair with responses from their first year to examine changes. Overall, this subset of students didnot show statistically significant changes in their EERI scores between first year and senior year.While the sample size for this cohort is too small from which to draw a reliable conclusion, it doessuggest that the EERI and DIT-2 measurements may be extremely stable over time and that theyare potentially not well-suited to assess changes in student ethical reasoning as a result ofeducational interventions. The research team is currently re-running this study with a

He worked for nine years in the industry as an engineer/manager in India and Bangladesh before starting his gradu- ate study in the US.

His research interests lie in the field of concrete technology with a focus on finite element modeling of ultra high per- formance concrete. He is also interested in educational research. He is presently working on inclusive teaching practices considering the experience and needs of neurodivergent learners. This project is a part of an NSF-funded IUSE/PFE:RED grant

Thisis important as finding a way to identify at-risk students at the beginning of the semester, such thatthey can be pointed towards resources that will improve their chances of academic success beforethey begin to encounter issues and other academic setbacks will ultimately lead to more successfulengineering students, graduates, and productive careers. We therefore succeed in finding attributesthat identify which students need more attention from professors and academic advisors.References [1] K. L. Lewis, J. G. Stout, N. D. Finkelstein, S. J.

intervention that we suggest engineering institutions test is to start curating engineers’stories in undergraduate education. What we suggest here is to have undergraduate studentscurate their own stories as they progress through engineering education and then archive thesestories so that the next generation can view the variety of stories that have been pursued and,eventually, practiced as professional engineers.Figure 2: A sample curated story of an undergraduate engineer progressing from High Schoolthrough to a company.Figure 2 shows a digital version of an imaginary student’s progress from high school through anundergraduate degree to a career.

final presentation of the capstone design projects in the last week of the summer semester.The informal presentations in capstone design projects are typically around 15 minutes and theyneed to cover directly related information such as reasoning, options, and status reports forcapstone projects. The final formal presentations are around 20 minutes and a sell-stylepresentation. Therefore, it was obvious that students typically didn’t have a proper chance toshare their self-learning content and to promote & share their lifelong learning experience. Life-long learning ability is extremely important for students and will make them competent in theirfuture careers. Their self-learned content and life-long learning experience might be

When applied to higher education, the evaluation of the Result Level refers to the career success of graduates, the admission rate of higher level learning, the service society, the social reputation of colleges and universities, etc., which can be explicitly realized through the questionnaire of graduates, the evaluation of employing departments, the recognition degree of services, etc. According to the definition of the Result Level in the Kirkpatrick's evaluation model, the evaluation of the Result Level of engineering ethics education should be expressed as

In the summer of their first year, UGTAs learn foundational concepts related toGIDBEA; in the second year, power and privilege; and in the third year, strategies for engagingGIDBEA in their future careers. Training ahead of the spring semester offers time for conceptreinforcement and reflection on the fall. By scaffolding the training over the UGTAs’ three-yeartenure in the program, we seek to sustain engagement as TAs put their knowledge to practice ininteractions with

These students tend to have noemployment responsibilities and are, therefore, able to dedicate themselves exclusively to theirstudies.

In thiswork-in-progress study, we present one aspect of a larger engineering research program that aimsto develop such activities and promote knowledge transfer.The goal of this larger program is to develop an intervention that promotes knowledge transferand helps make the links between a student’s courses more explicit. The study is based on priorresearch [8,9] that observed student difficulties in applying mathematical concepts in anengineering context and which piloted a 3-stage intervention aimed at promoting the transfer ofknowledge from mathematics to an engineering course.

curriculum chartThroughout the life of the ET program, the two senior design classes, as well as research, educational, andhands-on projects embedded in other high-level classes, were used to supplement the knowledge andskills of the ET students to equip them with the important skills and prepare them for their career. At theend of these projects, students conclude their experience and present their work at local conferences,professional meetings, and school showcases. This comes in the form of oral presentations, posters, aswell as professional conference proceedings [1 - 11]. Furthermore, some groups prepare a detailed studentmanual for the project they completed so that it can be used later on to guide other groups in getting thesame knowledge

Developing more effective teams in which gender and racialminorities can exhibit their potential and enhance their capabilities adds another layer to theimportance of the subject. Teamwork skills are generally developed in group activities, althoughtypically there is no formal training for that, and it is left to students to practice.
