Jadidi1,* 1 Lassonde School of Engineering, York University, Canada * Corresponding Author: mjadidi@yorku.caAbstract In aim of a better, inclusive, accessible, and safer future, educational institutions are committedto integrating the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) into their curriculumdesign and course delivery. Traditionally, a plain literary review of these goals has been adoptedby educators. This tends to leave students wondering what a realistic scenario would look like, andhow they would approach an

We did not yet have an engineering education unit in our faculty, but we did have agroup of engineering professors, staff and students interested in engineering education research.We met monthly to discuss topics of interest. As a regular attendee, I was invited to lead aseminar on social science methodology. By the time of this invitation, I was used to beingintroduced as the “social scientist,” which was comical to me

Moreover, the study proposes an expansion ofthis approach to civil engineering and cybersecurity-related programs, emphasizing the broaderimplications for workforce preparedness and infrastructure resilience. By highlighting theimportance of standards education and offering a replicable model for curricular integration, thisstudy contributes to advancing standards literacy initiatives within higher education and drawsattention to their role in shaping the future engineering workforce.IntroductionStandards form the foundation of many technologies and processes used in daily life. They helpmanage safety, security, and risk across countless industries and activities [1]. In simple terms,they are documents that

Finally, the teams submit a “strategiesreport” (engineering logbook), where all engineering strategies to achieve the process engineering goals aresummarized and discussed. With this revamped version, we expect to guide students to assume responsibility fordesigning sustainable chemical processes while enhancing students’ career readiness.Keywords: Curriculum integration, chemical process design, sustainability.IntroductionThe integration of sustainability-related topics in the chemical engineering curriculum has beenstrategized in different teaching approaches and

The learning method for this course wasentirely reliant on the prescribed SolidWorks videos, and since it was during the first year, itconcurrently followed the in-person curriculum. As this was the first time the course was beingoffered, it was believed that an asynchronous option would increase participation, as studentsmay be unable to return to campus for evening sessions. The student leader who sent out emailsprovided the asynchronous cohort with weekly emails to provide structure and encouragement topersist with the videos and

This paper outlines the design and integration ofmotor-based labs and projects to enhance student engagement and application-oriented learning.Infusing motor applications could address the perceived lack of technical experience amongfreshmen. The EET program at Buffalo State originated as a 2+2 program where incomingstudents were juniors with a 2-year technical degree and often worked in the field as an associatedegree technician. For the past two decades, the program has offered a complete 4-year set ofcourses, and incoming freshmen are younger, lack technical backgrounds, and are moreunprepared in mathematics [1].Students in the DC Motor section seemed excited to test out their code for moving the
