through multi-year assessment of program SOs [25].However, for all of the papers cited above, the assessment tools were developed for the now-outmoded ABET 2000 “a through k” SOs.More recently, Ozis et al. developed SO assessment methods based on internship experiencesthat map to the modern “1-7” Criteria 3 SOs [13]. Moreover, the authors discuss the impacts thatinternships have on the perspectives and experiences of underrepresented engineering students.The authors identify mapping to six of the seven SOs. The Criteria 3 SOs are, in brief : (1)problem solving; (2) engineering design, (3) effective communication, (4) ethical responsibilities,(5) teamwork, (6) experimentation, data interpretation and engineering judgment, and (7) theability to
engineeringprograms, emphasizing the need for students to design within various constraints, including economic,environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability [4].Meeting these broad ABET requirements is achievable through various instructional approaches andcourse designs.Teaching machine design traditionally is challenging as many students lack familiarity with machinecomponents and their real-world applications [4]. Due to logistical challenges, such as large class sizesand limited access to physical devices, instructors often resort to using images, videos, and CAD modelsto illustrate machine component functionality. Lectures typically involve board explanations or pre-designed slides, which may lack

. Instruction in the processof learning and time to reflect on their own learning is likely important. Feedback from facultyon the writing process is important so students know that their metacognition is valued. TheENA analysis process used in this research can be replicated using the steps outlined in thispaper.Future WorkFor future work, we plan to extend the positive impact of the epistemic network to other parts ofthe senior paper, such as contemporary issues and engineering ethics. The approach of epistemicnetworks allows us to gain insights on students’ mindset development not only on themselves,but also on the environment around them. This also could include other deliverables in thecurriculum as well, not limited to just these senior papers

He said “If youbelieve what the people are telling you, it will crush you.” Keep fighting. Everyone has had apunch in the face. Don’t give up. Steve noted that in an ever changing world, it is important to bea lifelong learner and to always be ethical. Wayne noted that several of the people he grew upwith got engineering degrees, got their doctorate, and returned to Appalachia. These people serveas examples of what Appalachian people can achieve. Wayne echoed Gage’s sentiment thatAppalachian engineering students can’t go in half-heartedly. They must give 100%.Limitations and Future Work This study was conducted as a

fundamental knowledge is no longer enough to properly prepare students forthe start of their careers. This leads us to the question: how can industry and academia worktogether to prepare the next generation of students?Student Engagement in Higher EducationStudent engagement is a term often mentioned in education to ensure students are getting themost out of their learning experiences. It is linked to things like improved critical thinking,practical competence, skill transferability, improved cognitive development, increasedpersistence, and moral and ethical development within students [8].But what does it really mean?The National Survey for Student Engagement (NSSE) highlights two aspects of studentengagement in their definition: the amount of time

This idea-to-3D print project tasks the student designer with leaning into theirown culture to design home décor items inspired by their personal background. Students areencouraged to embrace cultural traits in their design, such as nationality, family structures,community, aesthetics (art, architecture, music, dance), cuisine, mythology, ethics, manners,festivals and holidays, and fashion. Cultural aspects should be meticulously used to influence thedesign, usage, and purpose of the product from the conceptual stage of design, rather than assuperficial or last-minute additions.

academic work ethic [20], [21], [22], studentnetworks [23], and mentor guidance[24], [25], [26]. Using CCW is an avenue to conduct asset-based research, which highlights the strengths of students rather than weaknesses. This criticaland assets-based approach makes explicit the strengths and assets of communities, in this casewithin makerspaces. CCW can frame the experiences of students who might not always be seenthrough an explicit and purposeful focus on assets they bring into the space. This is apersonalized approach to understand the student staff’s experience as opposed to the neutraloutputs of their experience such as what they are creating or how many machines they are usingin the space.Research Question: What are the assets student staff

critically develop their ownvalues. The final orientation of values pluralism is that all of engineering cannot be summed upwith a unified purpose [6]. The final area of empathy in engineering is a professional way of being, comprised ofthree topics with many ties to engineering ethics. Service to society describes a broadening of thetraditional ideas of economic development and expansion to include a deeper consideration ofhuman and nonhuman impacts of engineering. Dignity and worth of all stakeholders opens theidea of what is traditionally considered to be a stakeholder to include the natural environment.Engineers as whole professionals questions the assumption that engineers can be entirelyimpartial in their work, but instead that they

Some participantsdeveloped lab report assessment rubrics using the instructor’s guide. Although there was avariation among the materials after instructors had access to the guides, all the participating labinstructors updated their lab instructional materials to use the terms and concepts introduced inthe guides and adjusted their instructional content to consider students’ prior knowledge.1. IntroductionEngineering labs offer unique engineering experiences to students, ranging from hands-onexperiments to safety and ethics [1]. Teaching engineering labs provides unique pedagogicalopportunities for lab instructors; however, it is
objectives andconstraints [2]. Often, students are required to balance several, at times competing, objectives. Aclassic example in mechanical applications is a high-strength, low-density material. Aside fromthe technical feasibility of the design project, students are also forced to consider businessfeasibility, environmental impacts, social, political, and ethical implications, manufacturability,and unintended consequences.Additionally, accreditation by ABET is only possible if ABET’s Criterion 5d is satisfied wherethe engineering curriculum must include “a culminating major engineering design experiencethat 1) incorporates appropriate engineering standards and multiple constraints, and 2) is basedon the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier
ethical dilemmas, and students had to dealwith factors such as working to deadlines, resolving disagreements, and continuously refiningsolutions. The author found that the “hands-on” and “real-world” situations that the role-playsituation afforded were particularly pedagogically valuable for engineering education students.In the realm of a computer systems analysis and design course in a New Zealand bachelorprogram, Erturk (2015) explored two class sessions that involved students producing Data FlowDiagrams and Activity Diagrams, where the intention was to demonstrate their analysis of asoftware “case” by constructing, reviewing, critiquing, and reflecting on the diagrams. The role-play dimension required students to explain and “act out” their
its use, higher education institutions must consider future assessment of studentwork [5]. One study that investigated the ethical ramifications on student use of AI in anengineering course revealed the potential benefits of utilizing AI as a form of collaboration [6].Some of the listed benefits include: the ability for a student to discuss a topic with a veryknowledgeable machine partner, a means for efficient research of a particular topic, and thepossibility to operate as a programming assistant due to the well-commented codegenerated.The integration of technology and innovative approaches in education has the potential to enhancethe way engineering students learn. Today’s students benefit from technological advancementsthat allow them a

The material in the course is monitoredby the university and students across the university take a similar course across other divisions ofthe university. Although some engineering faculty have taught the course in the past, morerecently, professional advisors in the college of engineering or staff directly connected with thecollege have taught the course. The course does discuss engineering ethics
