In the future I will make sure to take advantage of what EPALs (Engineering Peer Advising Leaders) has to offer to underclassmen students like me (Student 2). During my visit I came in with three questions in mind to ask the EPAL advisor….. All in all, I found my visit with the EPAL to be very thought provoking and useful as I was able to get multiple questions concerning answered about my major answer from the EPAL (Student 2).Challenges with Peer AdvisingDifficulty with advising students from different majors.One primary difficulty EPALs encountered was advising students who were in a different majorfrom their own. An EPAL noted “I couldn’t talk
many people to turn to for help besides counselors and faculty. The S-STEMProgram would be very helpful in this aspect through the guidance and mentoring they offer tostudents in an effort to help them succeed in the field of engineering.”Students also wrote about hopes to build a community of like-minded peers, as one male Whiteenvironmental engineering student states, “I also hope this program can help introduce me tolike-minded individuals going into engineering-related fields. I would love to help build upon theSTEM community at UCI and positively impact my campus.” Several students believe a diversecommunity can provide immense support as they transition into a new and overwhelmingenvironment as, one male White mechanical engineering

privileges while teaching. As such, the courseis designed with various goals in mind. For instance, it allows participants to think reflectivelyand critically about their current teacher practices. It improves their understanding of advancedplacement and state standards. It facilitates the transformation of their teaching practices byexploring best practices in educational pedagogy. Moreover, by participating in the course,educators disseminate the Nanosystems Engineering Research Center for Nanotechnology-Enabled Water Treatment (NEWT) conducted at Rice University, Arizona State University, YaleUniversity, and the University of Texas at El Paso. Finally, participants are able to incorporateproject-based learning and engineering practices in their

In addition, the academicand demographic diversity in the classroom enhances our activities and discussions.With all of these goals in mind, we developed two first-year engineering courses. One class,APPL 110 Design and Making for Engineers, focuses on design and fabrication through a seriesof design projects using the campus makerspace. The second class, APPL 101 ExploringEngineering, provides an overview of engineering, while focusing on other aspects of the designprocess, such as biomimicry to brainstorm design ideas, modeling and simulation to addressdesign questions, and
itself makes the students have to take risks. And then personally, I guess I don't mind making something hard for myself to make sure that I try to do it more… I am very confident that I understand the engineering that I want to understand. I'm not 100% Confident in statics … If I wanted to go farther in statics, I'd probably have to learn more. (Student #3) That changes my experience of learning, because then I'm number one, I'm not afraid to fail. Number two, I push myself to actually understand the concept because I'm not just trying to memorize the definition out of a book, because the book is right in front of me. And I could read that definition, I have to make sure I actually understand what it

consideration is that you clearly indicate which parts of your submission are your own work, and which parts are communicating someone else’s work. A failure to make this distinction is commonly called plagiarism. However, in the engineering workplace, what academics call ‘plagiarism’ is usually thought of as ‘benefitting from someone else’s expertise’. Engineering knowledge is communal expertise hard-won over many years. With this in mind, I am open – indeed desirous – to see you learn how to re-use concepts and code. But thoughtfully! In your assignments, you must justify your decisions. This includes re-use decisions, e.g. of designs, of components, or of tests.”LLM PedagogyTo support students in using LLMs, the course staff developed
dynamics that occur at both curricular stages, however, can oftenbe challenging. Student population, course structure, project scope, timeline, and courseworkload are just a few factors that may influence how effective students are as team membersand what strategies instructors may use to promote healthy team dynamics.Previously, the implementation of an equity minded strategy for promoting healthy teamdynamics was explored in an introductory biomedical engineering (BME) course [1]. The use ofasset-based activities throughout the course provided introductory students with a mechanism toshare about their individual assets with their teammates and complete their team-based designproject through the lens of team member assets and interests.

ispossible to apply this definition to AI to a select subset in the category termed Theory of MindAI. The distinction between phenomenal consciousness and access consciousness would appearto be the difference between AI capable of decision-making, and one that is self-aware. Currenttechnology already exists for AI to automatically shut off in close proximity to humans, or tosignal malfunction that might pose a safety threat, for example, as part of common designpractice in the field of engineering safety [26, p 798]. Further studies might include specific casestudies of Theory of Mind AI demonstrating examples of collective identity altruistic behavior.While speculative future popular culture writings tend to lean heavily toward a dystopian futureof

factors contributing to mental health issues among college students, thereis a notable gap in the literature regarding international undergraduates in engineering.International students, with their different beliefs, values, and expectations related to mentalhealth, may have different coping strategies, help-seeking preferences, and service utilizationpatterns. Among various factors, religiosity may influence their approach to coping, seekingassistance, and utilizing services. With this in mind, this study investigates the impact ofreligiosity on the mental health, help-seeking behavior, and service utilization of internationalundergraduate engineering students in the United States.Purpose/Hypothesis: This study explores the relationship between

Engineering Education, 2024 Lessons Learned: Faculty Development Book Club to Promote Reflection among Engineering Faculty on Mental Health of StudentsIntroductionIt is a real difficult challenge walking through this world full of monsters when our own bodies and minds can be monstrous. - Sarah Rose CavanaghIn universities around the U.S., mental health issues are on the rise [1], [2], [3]. College studentsare at increased mental health risks due to major mental health problems manifesting during earlyadulthood [4], and significant life changes (e.g., changes in independence, environment, and socialsupport, academic pressures/competition) [5], [6].
