As well he conducts action-based research into improving the learning experience of undergraduate engineering students and increasing diversity in the profession, particularly women and Indigenous peoples (Native Americans). Professor Bazylak started his career as a manufacturing engineer in a new product introduction division of a large telecommunication manufacturer. He returned to academia joining the University of Victoria first as an engineering co-operative education coordinator and then as an engineer-in-residence. He joined the University of Toronto as a

Therefore,transitioning to technological pedagogy that integrates different engagement activities supportsteaching vital skills to future workforces.The revolution of technology has brought paradigm shift in the way instructors teach andstudents learn in STEM through technology specifically VR [7]. VR is an emerging technologythat enables learners to immerse into different built environments by observing three-dimensional (3D) model [8]. Research has been supporting informal and immersive learningenvironments due to their effective educational impacts [9, 10]. Haptic learning is one solutionto advance learners’ understanding through physical interactions [11]. However there remains agap in the educational implementations that

[3], an inquiry based approach to learning is generally taken aslearning by exploring a question, issue or problem. Connected knowledge applied to multiplediscipline related activities provides better frameworks for students to learn and developconceptual understandings [4]. In a transdisciplinary approach, discussed in detail in [5],learners are required to think across and beyond academic disciplines to incorporate knowledgethat can be shared and implemented into design. Learning environments that focus on design andproblem solving can engage and help students learn core STEM concepts while connectingscience and

Engineering Education, 2019 Evaluating the Impact of Ethics Instruction on Student AwarenessAbstractEngineers must frequently make decisions during their careers without understanding orknowing the full set of consequences. These decisions can have unintended or harmful results.Therefore, it is imperative that engineers consider the ethical dimensions of their decisions whileworking to satisfy their employer’s interests even if these decisions conflict with theirorganization’s objectives or their own goals. Engineers have a responsibility to uphold a level ofethical standards that produces trust in not only their organization but also in their profession.Students entering the workforce must reflect the same level of ethical standards

Students will encounter many different problems in their career, but a few design courses incollege ​certainly​ cannot expose students to every scenario, much less ​effectively teach​ them howto solve each problem. Further, the purpose of our design courses should not be to simply “teachthe code” (Hines 2012). This is sure to reinforce the impression that design is cranking throughequations and picking sizes from tables - a practice that can limit creativity. “The creative structural engineer must be able to anticipate how a structure responds to applied loads and other external influences
