. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Work in Progress: Sustainable Engineering Education in Mechanical Engineering Curriculum Dr. Huihui Qi, Grand Valley State UniversityIntroductionSustainable development is a global goal nowadays. Engineers play an unreplaceable role in theglobal sustainable development. As a result, the importance of sustainable engineering educationhas been widely recognized by engineering educators. In addition, ABET [1] has two studentsoutcome criteria for sustainability: students should have (c) an ability to design a system,component or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic,environmental, social, political, ethical

working relationships among the members. Instructors also monitor group progress, give feedback on how well each group is doing, report each group’s progress to the class as a whole, and insure adherence to accepted standards of: ethics, social responsibility, and safety.Success in implementing cooperative learning is attributable, in large measure, to: properplanning, efforts, dedication, and foresight of the instructor. Experience definitely is a majorfactor. A proper start for instructors wanting to try active learning for the first time(including cooperative learning) is to step into it gradually, and to seek continuous feedbackas to how the course is going and how the students feel about it. In addition, he/she

to which context ischallenging to account for in engineering problem solving.Surely, as engineering students and practitioners gain increasing levels of expertise, they learn torely less and less on simplifications of real-world problems and learn more and more about thesignificance of many of the assumptions they make. In this way, engineering practiceincreasingly accommodates the complexities of context. But even here, those contextual factorsthat are accounted for tend to revolve around the technical dimensions of engineering problemsolving, with modest attention to financial and legal dimensions of a problem as well.

ethics and effects of students’ useof solution manuals on their performance during exams [1-6]. One study surveyed the facultyand students in a large mechanical engineering department to seek their perspectives on theethics and the educational values of employing solution manuals in solving textbook homeworkassignments. Many instructors had ethical concerns regarding the students’ use of solutionmanuals, while many students did not consider the use of solution manuals as scholasticdishonesty [1]. Few studies have shown that the use of solution manual has an adverse effect onstudents’ learning [2-4]. Other studies have suggested few new strategies for assigninghomework problems [5, 6].The authors of this paper have been teaching engineering

perspective ofdevelopmental psychology, engineering students’ identity is tied to the need to align with theprofession in terms of a set of characteristics that are necessary for success [13]. Thesecharacteristics are considered malleable and teachable, rather than inherent. Researchers in thisarea tend to focus on engineering identity as a set of traits available to the individual while actingwithin the profession, rather than some of the more elusively-defined conceptions of identity.Loui [39] found four types of characteristics needed for identification with the profession:technical competence, interpersonal skills, work ethic, and moral standards such as integrity.These characteristics are seen as inherent to being an engineer, and are required

To combat this issue, many have argued for writing across the curriculumand taking a discipline-specific view of writing.A challenge, even for these approaches, is engaging students in authentic writing that isfoundational to solving contextual and socially just design problems [2]. Whereas the focus ofmuch core engineering coursework is focused on building technical, disciplinary knowledge,many have argued for approaches that also prepare students to approach engineering problemsmore holistically, considering the ethics and consequences of their work [3].

These students focused on personality(mainly introversion and extraversion), people who solved problems differently (top-down orbottom-up approaches), and work ethic as ways in which their peers showed aspects of latentdiversity that made them belong in engineering.The interview process provided an opportunity for students like Nathan (mechanical engineer) toclarify how he felt about diversity of thought in engineering.

Since metaphorsreflect individual and cultural perspectives and values, emphasizing audience awareness,technical accuracy, and the ethical implications of generating and propagating metaphors will beuseful. A pedagogical intervention could enable a future study in which undergraduate engineersare interviewed about their process of metaphor creation and rhetorical goals. In addition, theeffectiveness of students’ metaphors could be evaluated by surveying their target audience togauge their comprehension of technical content presented with (and without) creativeexplanations.The

It is an iterative, creative, decision‐makingprocess in which the basic sciences, mathematics, and the engineering sciences are applied toconvert resources optimally into solutions” [2]. EDP
