method of assessment of problem-solving skills that may beextended to assist with the process of assessment planning and quantification for accreditation ofundergraduate degree programs in engineering. Accreditation of undergraduate degree programsin engineering, such as by ABET, currently requires programs to demonstrate students’ ability to“identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles ofengineering, science, and mathematics”[1]. Traditional assessment data can lack reliablegranularity [2] to measure problem-solving skills. Reliable granularity is the reliability (oragreement) of assessment across instructors while quantifying problem-solving processes withaccurate granularity. We propose a new method using

. Our analysis, based on responses from 314 students, demonstrates the effectiveness of the module in meeting our goals and also sheds light on opportunities for further improvement that we have already capitalized on. We envision that our module can be adopted and adapted by other CS programs and that our experiences can serve as an exemplar for the development of similar program-specific AInt learning modules, all with the overarching goal of mitigating AInt violations.1 IntroductionPrior studies suggest that Academic Integrity (AInt) cases are on the rise in Computer Science(CS) compared to other disciplines [1, 2], likely due to the Internet facilitating ready access toabundant CS materials and personal assistance

This is the first semester,freshman level course for biomedical engineering students. Innovation-based learning takes acombination of engineering education styles and uses them to fuel learning [1]. The core of theclass is centered around fundamental principles. These principles are class topics based onphysiology and biomedical engineering concepts. For example, action potentials, cardiacvasculature, and equilibrium potentials are all fundamental principles discussed in the course. Inour university’s classroom structure, one principle is assigned each week. These principles are tobe researched, investigated, and

Results suggest that over the next three years, executives expect automation toincrease their workforce capacity by 27%, which is equivalent to 2.4 million additional full-timeemployees [2].

: Containing Design: Rethinking Design Instruction to Support Engineering Device Development for Low-Income CountriesAbstractWork-in-Progress: One of the primary benefits of a makerspace is the concentration of tools,materials, and expertise in one place [1]. Without makerspaces, design education in many low- tomiddle-income countries (LMIC) stops with a “paper” design and does not move onto a physicalprototype. More than 75% of registered makerspaces are in North America and Europe [2], andless than 4% of registered makerspaces are in Africa [3].As part of a joint project between Duke University (NC, USA) and Makerere University(Kampala, Uganda), “twin” makerspaces were built at the respective universities.

DesignAbstractOne approach to look at student learning is to identify “threshold concepts.” These are conceptsthat, once grasped, allow students to engage with the material in a fundamentally different way.First described by Meyer and Land [1], these concepts are transformative, irreversible,integrative, and troublesome. The process of mastering a threshold concept (TC) meanstraversing a liminal space during which the student is changed. Looking inward at our owncapstone program, we identified three candidate TCs: (1) Complex engineering problems arebest solved by teams working together. (2) A team can learn a lot from a prototype, even(especially?) when it doesn’t work. (3) The goal isn’t to find the right answer, but to learn aprocess by which a
