is a multidisciplinary design intensive vertical curriculumsupported at the 200-level, 300-level, and capstone levels by three newly developed coursesfocused on engineering design. Grounded in human-centered design and design thinking, thesecourses will focus on developing the skills necessary to understand users’ experiences andidentify and develop appropriate solutions for design problems. The addition of these threedesign courses, along with engineering design activities in our established First-YearEngineering program, introduces a “design spine” in the curriculum that emphasizes problem-based learning across all four years of the engineering degree program. While this curriculumsupports contemporary students’ desire for flexibility and
must betaught in the core courses [8]. According to a Summer/Fall 2015 survey of chemical engineeringprograms, only 23% of the 148 programs required a chemical process safety course [10]. Morerecent ASEE course surveys of Material and Energy Balances, Kinetics and Process Controlcourses indicate that 60-80% of those courses include a safety topic in the course [11, 12, 13].Core capstone courses are a natural fit for safety outcomes, as are upper level courses such asUnit Operations (UO) laboratories [7]. UO laboratories, as a core course that has designexperience and/or experiments within it, is an optimal place for safety outcomes to be covered. It should be noted that the need for process safety education is not new; the challenge is

His research interests include evaluating conceptual knowledge, mis- conceptions and technologies to promote conceptual change. He has co-developed a Materials Concept Inventory and a Chemistry Concept Inventory for assessing conceptual knowledge and change for intro- ductory materials science and chemistry classes. He is currently conducting research on NSF projects in two areas. One is studying how strategies of engagement and feedback with support from internet tools and resources affect conceptual change and associated impact on students’ attitude, achievement, and per- sistence. The other is on the factors that promote persistence and

additional mathematics courses (e.g., Community College Transfer Plans 2016-2017).Once a student is accepted to the engineering major, their access to advanced content courseswithin the major is determined by their GPA (Electrical Engineering Self-Study Report). It isimportant to note that students need only be admitted to the university in order to start anelectrical, computer, or software engineering major; in other words, students do not have toapply and be admitted to both the university and the college of engineering. Throughout the electrical engineering major, the focus on specific professionalcompetencies are at the heart of the seminar and capstone courses. These competencies include:“communication, teamwork, project management
these are to occur in upper years, students would be so much more prepared to handle teamwork for [our Capstone Project].”The most significant criticisms of the event were to make the project more exciting, and to makethe presentation of results more meaningful/involved, as the demonstrations “really killed thebuildup of the entire event”. Based on the above observations, the organizers have mademodifications to the event for its subsequent offerings.3.4 Tron Days 2017Following the lead set forth by the other programs, Tron Days in 2017 was re-designed to focuson a single hands-on project. This change was needed both to address student interest, but also toease facilitation during the event. The students were tasked with building a

Another educatorexperienced similar pushback and stated, “once in a while, a student will raise kind of anobjection on principle that this is not engineering, ‘I’m in engineering, this is notengineering stuff that we’re doing’”. This perception is not unique to students, anotherinterviewee explained as the only educator in the department integrating ESI intoengineering classes, “it ends up being stigmatized… the person that ends up doing it, at leastin my case, ends up getting labeled not a real engineer.” To shift the

Other educators have noticed that the flexibility in response to complicated objectives has alot in common with many classrooms beyond computer science. EduScrum was developed in theNetherlands and showed favorable results with scrum as a pedagogical technique in middleschool [18].

to the economy,made the utilitarian principle an obvious choice as one of the principles on which to“base” engineering ethics. Yet recognizing the potential of technology to cause harm, theyalso chose the Kantian principle of people as “ends rather than means”. While textbooksmentioned other principles such as Rawls’ theory of Justice, these two – utilitarianism andKant’s Imperative- translated as a version of the Golden Rule – remained the main basis.This was the case for example of the widely used textbook on engineering ethics [3]. Theother pioneering textbook, by Martin and Schinzinger [4], framed engineering as “socialexperimentation”, and chose three principles: Awareness (of the consequences of theengineering project); Autonomy (the
