theintervention has had an impact.Methods and ApproachAs stated above, this project’s goal was to assess writing in the first-year engineering design courseand to design a curricular intervention to improve student confidence in writing for subsequentcourses. We assessed writing with four methods: 1) faculty surveys, assignment reviews, studentwork reviews, and compiling resources.Faculty SurveysOne of the most significant motivators for this project is the faculty’s perception of student writing.In many meetings where we discuss student performance, faculty regularly mention variousaspects of student writing being inadequate. While the conversations are informal, they occur oftenenough that we thought it was worth a systematic analysis of faculty

such as mechanical andcivil engineering [1]. The tools of the engineer in students’ minds are often closer to a hammer ora wrench rather than a test tube or beaker, and thus their conception of engineering is oftenlimited at best [1]. This can get further complicated by the lack of interdisciplinarity exemplifiedin the engineering classroom. When engineering instruction is scaled at the university level, thereis the potential to lose interdisciplinarity as well as too much emphasis on limited topics relevantto the field of engineering [2]. When this happens, the curriculum may revert to limiting thecurriculum to the most popular images of engineering, fields such as mechanical, civil, andcomputer engineering [1].The goal of this work is to

This step in the project utilizes manufacturer’s data toproduce graphs and compare velocity and volumetric flowrate to pressure to aid in the design ofthe portable air filtration prototype. They are then expected to apply this practice towards theirdesign in order to choose an appropriate fan and filter for their prototype. However, the studentsas novices focus on completion of the activity instead of understanding [1].

In cornerstone courses, the student body worksautonomously in teams [2], solving real problems [3, 4]. Project-based learning is one of themost used methodologies in cornerstone Engineering courses [5, 6] since they introduce studentsto their life as engineers [7]. Project-based learning (PBL) is a student-centered methodology [8]that promotes the development of various transversal skills such as effective communication [5],teamwork [9, 10], and critical thinking [11], among others.Traditionally, project-based learning courses are taught face-to-face [12].

students to be more reflective in later courses?IntroductionThis work in progress paper assesses whether a first-year ePortfolio experience promotes betterreflection in subsequent engineering courses. While reflection is vital to promote learning,historically, reflection receives less attention in engineering education when compared to otherfields [1]. Yet, cultivating more reflective engineers yields several important benefits includingbuilding self-efficacy and empowering student agency. Through continued practice, engineeringstudents can develop a habit of reflective thinking which increases students’ ability to transferknowledge across contexts. The adoption of ePortfolios is becoming an increasingly popularstrategy to improve student learning

Indeed, one of theeffects of the updated ABET criteria implemented in 2000 was to call increased attention toengineering ethics in the undergraduate curriculum [2]. McDonald noted that while virtuespecifically cannot be taught, and must be wanted on a personal level, the ability to make ethicaldecisions is distinct from (though related to) virtue and is a skill that can be developed [3]. In2005, Dyrud [4] emphasized the importance of ethics in engineering education, and describedhow it can affect performance both in later courses and in future careers.
