Compared to top enrollment majors, BIOE’sfeel they are struggling more with their courses and have less faculty support. BIOE females feelthey have a greater understanding and ethical responsibility, and confidence in their choice ofmajor compared to top enrollment females. Due to the consistency of these results a predictivemodel of choice of long-term engineering goal was created. Students who score highly onknowing an engineer as a reason for selecting a major, wanting a good potential salary, designingand building things, and their perceptions of the present were likely to be traditional engineers.Students

Page 24.287.5Senior Design ProjectsNearly all of the latest ABET accreditation student outcomes (Criterion 3) for engineeringprograms are related to senior design projects.28 These include: (a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering (b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data (c) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical
OutcomesUpon the completion of this project, students certainly gained some knowledge related to circuitdesign and collaborated with each other working toward a common goal. In addition, it can beclaimed that the project activity supports the following students outcomes set by ABET: (a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering; (b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data; (c) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability; (d) an ability to function on

Working with the marginalized and the poor does not imply charity. Rather, a true partnership with the community that is being served must be forged through a model where the community is involved in decision-making and management of projects.

with the opportunity to demonstrate the knowledge that they have gained in previousprojects. Students learned about various aspects of renewable energy including problemidentification, technical, social and environmental constraints, multidisciplinary teammanagement, communications and documentation skills. These projects also provided thestudents with an opportunity to view their designs from an ethical and sustainability awarenessperspective, thus realizing a lifelong learning opportunity. Through practice, the students realizedthat the key success to a design project is team work, industry interaction, and collaborations.Two renewable energy-related courses were developed and are being offered in the department.One of the courses is a

After each presentation, the teamreceived feedback from the faculty and peers on the content and delivery of the presentation andtheir technical writing skills. Each section of the final technical report was reviewed and gradedby the team mentor (Outcome G). One of the deliverables was the contextualization documentthat reports what significance the final design might have on the environment, health and safetyconcerns, economics, ethics, etc. (Outcome H). Based on the technical evidence and submitteddocuments, these outcomes were evaluated, and the faculty mentor

by a team of 4-6 students.Seven credit hours incorporate fundamental, practical and computational principles ofnanotechnology into the curriculum. This will allow the TLC to build the following professionalattributes: • Ability to work productively in a collaborative setting. • Knowledge of successful careers in the nanotechnology area to fill the future needs of industry. Students pursuing this track are equipped with key elements needed in industry, including computer modeling and simulation, laboratory experience, and design methodologies. • Ability to do scientific research and engage in discovery and scholarship. • Develop strong professional attributes, including ethical behavior in the workplace
although not free of frustrations. Faculty also observed the pedagogicalvalue of collaborative projects but there was no consensus as to if or how much extra work isrequired to administer them.1- IntroductionCapstone design projects, being the culminating experience of a typical four year engineeringcurriculum, present an opportunity to reinforce a number of critical soft skills that are deemedimportant in professional engineering practice. Such soft skills are outlined by the EngineeringCriteria of ABET1 relating to communications, teamwork, ethical responsibilities, contextualunderstanding, among others. A more extensive list of student outcomes, presented by the KernEntrepreneurship Education Network (KEEN), is aimed at fostering an

evaluated at the program level (during thecapstone project), or through performance in co-ops and based on surveys and feedback from theindustry (indirect measures). An example of the latter includes creative thinking and problemsolving skills, communication skills (both verbal and written), and ethical behavior. In someclasses, pre- and post-learning assessments were conducted, to identify the type and amount ofknowledge students started with, and compared to the amount they ended the class with, with theassumption that the difference represents what they have learned in this particular class. Thesepre- and post-learning tests served as a confirmation on the sufficiency and quality of the“supply” of knowledge students learned and retained from

Thorough understanding and further verification of thesemultiscale materials were attained through the application of statistical modeling of processesand property variations.CurriculumThe REU site guided students through a combination of seminars and lab experiences. Theseminars provided fundamental knowledge to assist in their research and included topics inResearch Methods and Ethics, Health and Safety, Statistical Analysis, Engineering DataAnalysis, Experimental Design, and the use of statistical software packages. Seminars onTechnology Entrepreneurship and Commercialization (TEC) were used to enhance

integration of students and development of student-faculty bonds. It is expectedthat eight seminars will be held per academic year. Potential seminar topics are: (1) The CSET-STEMProgram, (2) Applying for Graduate School and Financial Aid, (3) Finding a Mentor, (4) Ethics, (5)Public Speaking, (6) Understanding Group Dynamics, (7) Managing Intellectual Property, (8) TimeManagement, and (9) Technical Writing.(b)Graduate School and/or Employment Preparation -- Scholars will be urged to register with the SCState Career Center.

Moreover, the university often Page 24.1272.6faces the need to change the program contents taking into account the customer requirements.Thus, some very important topics are withdrawn, such as education ethics, education 5philosophy, oratory art, and etc. The program should also include the classes from the leadingprofessors and practitioners.The university also wants the employer to evaluate the results of the workforce participationin the program, and their practical implementation in the
events. Training sessions were centered on (butnot limited to) the following topics: History of ISE Departmental missions and initiatives Discussion of 2020 Preeminence Strategic Plan IIE Ethical Canons Academic culture Recruitment Materials Role plays of scenariosRoles of POs. The POs’ roles included communicating on a regular basis with the first yearstudents, which meant orchestrating ways to disseminate information and follow up quickly andefficiently. POs also ensured the students attended monthly seminars, information sessions, falland spring career fairs, pre-advisement meetings with their respective advisors, providedeffective sources to obtain tutoring for difficult
