Among Underrepresented Engineering Students: The Impact of University Academic SystemsThis full-length Empirical Research Paper reports the protective mechanisms and risk factors thatinfluence academic resiliency among underrepresented engineering students. Academicresiliency, characterized by students' ability to effectively manage stress, overcome challenges,and persist through difficulties in their academic pursuits, is a crucial factor for success in highereducation [1], [2], [3], [4]. A need exists to identify and analyze strategies and programs thatstrengthen and support student abilities to develop academic resiliency.The study explores support systems and educational practices universities may use to enhanceacademic resilience

Mission for a Holistic Education: Pilot ImplementationAbstractThe evolution of engineering education over the past few decades reflects the growingcomplexity of the challenges engineers encounter in today’s world. Where once technicalproficiency was the primary emphasis of engineering education, there is now a growingrecognition of the distinct but complementary role that professional formation plays in shapingwell-rounded engineers [1] [2] [3]. A holistic approach to engineering education will help usshape future engineers who possess the foundational knowledge and applied skills in theirdiscipline, as well as across disciplinary boundaries, along with global and cultural awareness,social responsibility, ethical leadership, and sustainability

By incorporating modern case studiesand speculative design, this course provides biomedical engineers with the critical thinking andethical reasoning skills necessary to navigate the challenges of emergent technologies inprofessional practice and can be adapted to any engineering discipline.Introduction At the core of the National Society for Professional Engineers Code of Ethics is that“Engineering is an important and learned profession” [1]. Thus, it logically follows that the canons,values, and professional obligations of engineers are formally and informally taught to studentengineers during their education. However, recent meta-analyses by [2] and [3] of current practicesin engineering ethics

While ABET provides a detailed andcomprehensive set of requirements for accrediting programs, it does not prescribe a specificapproach to measuring the attainment of learning outcomes. Instead, programs are required to usea personalized approach for their programs and describe their assessment process. Creating a newprogram that meets ABET’s standards is a significant task for both the administration and faculty,as it involves developing the curriculum and assessment tools needed to align with bothprogrammatic and institutional goals.

Instructors described different understandings ofempathy and opinions regarding empathy-focused instruction. Some described teaching empathyas essential, while others considered it “ridiculous.” Key advantages were interpersonal skills,improved professionalism and ethics, and improved learning environment.

Ultimately, this paper aims to provoke dialogue on the future of engineering education and to challenge the prevail- ing assumption that technical skill development alone is sufficient in an AI-mediated world.1 IntroductionWe take as our starting premise that engineers have a responsibility to society, and conse-quently, that engineering educators have a responsibility to convey
