According to ASCE [4], with the introduction of powerful computer technology and thetrend toward increasing specialization, civil engineers’ roles often limit their leadershipopportunities. Civil engineers will have to command the multidisciplinary, multi-cultural, team-building, and leadership aspects of their work in order to lead and execute complex projects thatinvolve many and varied stakeholders and meaningful collaboration.Even with evidence cited in the vision papers from the NAE and specific disciplines, there stillexists a paucity of opportunities for teaching and developing professional skills, includingleadership, to

We provide an overview of our coursestructure, course modules, learning objectives, and few case studies which stress ethical thinkingthroughout the process of app design and development. Our goal was to expand the currentrepertoire of in situ learning activities that require ethical judgment and to integrate thosepractices into their development process. Even though we have not taken any feedback, mainly,if students perceived the notion of socially conscious computing from the perspective of mobileapp development, we found

The beginning of the next class began with discussion ofsolutions from these assignments.Five types of assignments were available to students: concept questions, practice problems,homework problems, unit tests, and an advanced project. Concept questions were designed tohelp students learn to connect detailed course content with their outside experiences, othercourses in the curriculum, and their own career goals. Some of these questions asked students toreflect on and self-assess their own learning processes. Practice problems were similar tohomework and test problems. The advanced project was a group project that involved visiting alab to acquire EEG data during an “oddball” experiment and performing data

However, the ENGR 102 HSprogram cost additional tuition and require students to be a junior or senior and enrolled in pre-Calculus or higher math.In this work in progress paper we report on a developing Differentiated Engineering Curriculum(DEC), which was created to expose students of varying knowledge backgrounds and interests toengineering while providing

In such process, the facultymember serves as a mentor by providing extensive technical guidance, role modeling approachesto problem solving, and advocating post-graduation career venues. These academic resources arenecessary components for securing employment post-graduation or establishing fundamentalresearch knowledge for graduate school.Post-graduation InstructionBased on the open-ended question, students shared relevant information about receiving guidancerelating to Mechanical Engineering curriculum, undergraduate resources, summer internships, andgraduate programs. One student, in particular, alluded that the faculty advisor invested time inexplaining the benefits of pursuing an
part of cornerstone (i.e. first-year) and capstone (i.e. senior-year) design courses. These design courses are often significantand memorable experiences in students’ education where they actually get to design—and maybeeven build and fly—an aerospace vehicle. While the importance of design courses in aerospaceengineering education is clear, they only make up a small part of the curriculum. After studentshave an exciting and engaging first-year design experience, students’ sophomore and junioryears are dominated by core technical subjects such as mechanics of materials, aerodynamics,propulsion, and controls. We define these non-design and non-lab courses (although they mayhave lab components) as engineering science courses. For example, at the

The units did not presentan integrated idea of what engineering is about to the students. Opportunities had to beprovided for the students to act as engineers. Much effort was put into trying to resolve thisproblem at the Colorado School of Mines [28].One advantage that fully online courses have over traditional course is that they are self-paced. Students can engage with them as and when they like. This has the advantage thatthey can arrange their studies in relation to
