sufficient cachet that accreditation is not necessary. This may be true; who would not hirea Stanford University graduate simply because the computer science program at Stanford Univer-sity is not accredited by ABET? At the same time, conforming to accreditation standards and peerreview would have helped Stanford or University of Texas avoid headlines that revealed that theircomputer science students have been graduating without taking course work in ethics, somethingABET accreditation standards have required for decades 7 . In contrast, several high-profile andprestigious programs such as MIT are accredited. In this case, presumably, the program or theinstitution has seen value in the accreditation process, or even perhaps to signal to lesser

Each student is requested to design andimplement an image classifier using CNN. The students are expected to use transferlearning to customize pre-trained neural networks for new classes. The new network shouldbe able to distinguish at least two new classes that are not included in the pre-trainednetwork. The students are expected to use TensorFlow as the development tool, because

The project not only encourages students to think about culture in othercountries, but also prompts them to think about social barriers that would prevent innovativesolutions from being implemented in the country. This project will build upon teamwork andpublic speaking skills, as well as instill a spirit of creativity, problem-solving, and humanitiesamongst students.3.2 Movies/DocumentariesIn order to provide examples of real-world engineering ethical challenges

Seminars on twice-exceptional education and creativity were included. Workshops were presented on responsibleconduct of research and ethics, graduate school, preparing for the GRE exam, and technicalwriting.

While the majority of faculty reported that they do not incorporateleadership in their own courses (60%), they generally feel that leadership should be introducedduring a student’s freshman year of college (40%) and evaluated using project-based assessmentsor a combination of test- and project-based assessments (80%). Overall, faculty tended to agreewith industry on the importance of leadership competencies in their associated fields, particularlyfor competencies such as ethics/responsibility, communication, professionalism, and ambition.But while this overall profile generically captures faculty ways of knowing leadership amongsurvey respondents, our analysis also uncovered nuances within the data that warrant furtherexploration

Collaborative Learning (e.g. PBLs) have been widelyused in the engineering curriculum [1]. Project/problem based activities have been implementedto help students learn new concepts faster. In this methodology, a question or problem is used todrive the students’ learning activities to produce a product that can be used in real world. PBL isused to prepare students with skills such as leadership, team building, ethical behavior,creativity, critical thinking, and problem solving [2]. PBL has been implemented as part of thecurriculum or as a replacement of the traditional classroom.EMLs are either designed independently or used by modifying existing pedagogy techniquessuch as SBL or ACL.
