?Results from this ongoing study are encouraging in demonstrating the efficacy ofengineering-specific peer mentorship.IntroductionSignificant research has demonstrated that peer mentorship is an effective method for improvingretention outcomes for engineering students [1,2,3,4]. The motivation to grow effective peermentorship programs corresponds with the important efforts to improve retention, particularly atenrollment-driven institutions. Although peer mentorship has been studied widely, thechallenges associated with these programs are still a relevant topic, particularly coming out ofthe COVID-19 pandemic [5,6]. The 2022 ASEE Annual Conference included 9 papers on thetopic [7,8,9], including an entire session in the First-Year Programs Division

Instructor-created concept maps are presented herein.Methods/Classroom ApproachStudents in an undergraduate Heat Transfer course were introduced to concept mapping as alearning tool in Spring 2022. The course requires both Thermodynamics and DifferentialEquations as prerequisites. Seven students were enrolled in the course, which is designed for thethird year of the Mechanical Engineering program at the University of Indianapolis.Student mastery of course content was evaluated via homework, quizzes, in-class activities, andthree exams. The exams were cumulative, but each exam

technicians, only 8,231 (2.63%) were women. One canargue that progress has been made, considering that this number has more thandoubled in percentage since 1996, when only 1.22% of the 329,239 A&P mechanicswere women (FAA, 2023). However, the meager increase in representation of women inthe aviation maintenance field has yet to show any real impact on the prevalent genderimbalance in the aviation maintenance technicians’ professions. Generally, women areunderrepresented in most aviation professions. For instance, only eight percent of thetop 100 airline CEOs are female (Institute of Women of Aviation Worldwide, 2022). In collegiate aviation programs, especially maintenance or engineeringtechnology programs, female students pursuing all

was toexamine how flipped teaching prepared civil engineering students to transition to full onlineinstruction and vice-versa. Data included student survey and test scores from an IntroductoryTransportation Engineering course each spring from 2019 to 2022. Preliminary results suggestthat students taking flipped courses during or before the pandemic felt more prepared for successwhen courses shifted to online formats. Results also support previous research that flippedteaching of road design concepts improved student’s ability to meet the stated learningobjectives. Last, this study also provides new knowledge about the application of flippedteaching for traffic signals and public transit.IntroductionFlipped learning, also known as the inverted

. Another concern is the possibilitythat chatbots could be used to encourage academic dishonesty, such as by providing answers toassignments or exams. Some researchers have argued that chatbots have the potential to facilitateplagiarism by providing students with ready-made answers to assignments and assessments [24]. In [25],the authors presented the potential for chatbots to be used to cheat on online exams. The author in [26]also addressed this issue. These studies highlight the need for careful consideration of the ethicalimplications of using chatbot in education. The recent release of ChatGPT in November 2022 (https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt/) by OpenAI(https://openai.com/), an AI-powered chatbot, has marked a significant advancement in

There is a call to12 reform construction engineering education for students' future development before they13 enter the construction profession (Bernold, 2005). CEM will be positioned as a leader in14 the reform because of the resources accessible to the CEM program:15 • Academia - Purdue is home to the first School of Engineering Education (Purdue16 University, 2022).17 • Learners - students who must complete 36 weeks of experiential learning as part18 of the degree requirement.19 • Profession - industry relationships established with an active Industry Advisory20 Board (IAB) and industry
