Inthe early 2000s, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) set effectivecommunication as one of the evaluation criteria for engineering programs [1]. However, severalresearchers identified a gap between employer expectations and new engineering graduates’ oraland written communication abilities in the workplace [2], [3]. The disparity is probably driven byengineering students and faculties’ perception; that is, engineering is a technically

University, SCAbstractIt is vital to guarantee that engineering graduates have learned essential skills required to excel ina dynamic technological landscape. Today the proliferation of low-cost, high-speed computingdevices offer opportunities for design and control of systems with varying levels of complexity.What this means in practice is that engineers increasingly need expert knowledge of variouscomputer systems and software. Computing expertise once considered arcane must now becomecommonplace. We develop a novel Machine Learning (ML) course, designed for allundergraduate engineering majors with appropriate programming and mathematics background,to take as an elective in their junior or senior year. The course introduces deep learning

Historically, the field of engineering hasreflected the broader societal trends with regard to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)—oftenmirroring the exclusions and disparities prevalent in the social fabric of the times [1]. For muchof its history, engineering has been a profession dominated by a homogenous group, with limitedrepresentation of women, minorities, and other underrepresented groups [2]-[10]. Thisuniformity has, at times, inadvertently influenced the direction of research priorities, the designof systems, and the implementation of technologies, potentially overlooking the needs andperspectives of a diverse population.In recent years, however, there has been

Ethics is a crucial subject in any engineering program because today’s students are theleaders and innovators of tomorrow who will be expected to behave in an ethical manner.Understanding the code of ethics established by the National Society of Professional Engineers(NSPE) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is essential because thisunderstanding helps engineers demonstrate professional behavior that adheres to the highestprinciples of ethical conduct [1, 2]. However, teaching engineering students to develop ethicaldecision-making skills presents a challenge and requires innovative teaching methods.Several challenges

Noble describes howengineers leveraged their societal relationship to technological development and production by“informing their work with the historical imperatives of corporate growth, stability, and control… the engineers, moreover, went a step further to ensure that their technical work meshed withthe imperatives of corporate social relations; rather than restricting their attention to technicalmatters, they consciously undertook to structure the labor force and foster the social habitsdemanded by corporate capitalism” [1].
