(Downey et al., 2006 as cited in [11].Those with cultural humility recognize that there are multiple technical approaches and thatwhile they may have a preference for one way of defining a problem over another as well as oneway of justifying a solution over another, they have the flexibility of mind and command oftechnical knowledge to be able to adjust and adapt to multiple ways of defining as well asresolving problems [11]. Cultural humility also means recognizing when we do not have thetechnical knowledge to accomplish a task and having the wherewithal to acknowledge thisdeficit and seek out this knowledge either through bringing in outside expertise or additionaleducation, as called for in the Code of Ethics of a Professional Engineer [11

there will few to no traditional face-to-face courses. They feel allcourses will contain some digital gathering and communication tools [3].With those questions in mind, the authors began to design and develop a fully online MaterialsScience course. The goal was to create a Design for Online (DFO) process that would bevaluable in distance and eventually on-ground courses throughout the college of engineering.II. BackgroundFor the past few years, the college of engineering has offered graduate online course sections asappendages to the face-to-face delivery of those courses. In-person lectures (75 minutes, twice aweek) have been recorded and housed in an online catalogue for remote students to access. Thisarea of the course shell in the LMS

Her family owned a restaurant in Mexico and they needed the stove as soon as possible. To solve this problem, Laura and her family designed a stove made out of inexpensive raw materials, including adobe, empty coffee and soup cans, barro (a mixture of clay materials), and a pipe. They also repurposed an antique washing machine, called chaca-chaca (as it is commonly known in Mexico for the sound it makes during the washing cycle), by disassembling it and using

Engineering students in an academic setting do not have the environment, theresponsibilities, the demands or the interactions with other members of an engineering team,nor do they face the real-life situations and challenges that a practicing engineer faces everyday. Therefore, I decided that my mentorship must have as many professional engineeringaspects as academic ones. I built my mentoring role to be part coach preparing students fortheir big game after graduation, part advisor to help them choose the right courses for theircareer path, part trainer to improve their skills, part counselor to help them in hard times, partcheerleader to celebrate their successes and, above

Some students matriculating through the degree programs (such as transfer students orthose with Advanced Placement course credit) may experience curricular choice opportunity thatis incongruent with what is reported in the catalog.Keeping these limitations in mind and looking at the program correlations next to the medianpercentages of their bachelor’s degrees earned by women, it is interesting to cautiously note thatthe correlations were the lowest (and not significant) for chemical and civil engineering, which—of the four disciplines—were more popular with women in

[made with past issues in mind]. I think this is one of the reasons there’s an enormous gapbetween the culture of Washington and the culture of Silicon Valley, where people talk aboutthe future (future-oriented) technology questions all the time. But the culture of Washingtonis locked into the past. So anything which is changing and changing fast finds it almostimpossible to get a look in”. Given that engineers are in large part the cause of these changes,they have a responsibility to ensure the problems they create are the subject of public/politicaldiscussion. However, the historical and systemic lack of response to high level reports [9]–[12], especially in the U.S., suggests that the effects of rapidly changing technology willcome upon

interesting research study might be developing a hackathon like course as a realuniversity class. This class could help the engineering education community better understandthe effect on learning that hackathons have. Other studies could generate hackathons withspecific learning goals in mind and try to steer students into a curriculum while still maintainingthe typical structure of a hackathon. This event would help show the worth of hackathons as aneducational tool.Another point of view for future works could be project management. The types of time andresource managements that participants exhibit within classroom and hackathon settings may bedrastically different.

program. I would recommend it to the new freshman students, because you learn a good deal of useful information from the program that will become handy in the next semester. As for changes, I would recommend just two things, more breaks between classes to rest the mind from all the acquired information, and adding more time to the most complex classes so the hard topics can be explained and understood by the students.  This program was an excellent opportunity for me to get an introduction to core courses of the engineering curriculum. This program allowed me to get a glimpse of the topics and the work load required of the mechatronics program. Although this program was effective in introducing the

engineering students may find it hard to perform effectively. When faced withan unfamiliar problem, many engineering students may find it difficult to employ theirdivergent thinking skills and conceptualise ideas which are different from the first idea whichcomes to mind (either through ability or unwillingness to consider other ideas), or be able toproduce ideas which use a variety of concepts to try and resolve the problem [16-18]. Thisphenomenon is known as design fixation. Results found by Nazzal [9] suggest that thedivergent thinking skills and ability of engineering students to overcome design fixation,increases between the first year and following years of study.

This instrument was developedbased on a framework in which an entrepreneurially minded engineer is defined as one whopossesses curiosity about our changing world, habitually makes connections to gain insight frommany sources of information, and focuses on creating value for others.

Further, UTAs offeredoffice hours and selected a location in the student work area.
