Engineering aspects of the physical, mechanical andchemical properties of bioplastics were investigated.A brief summary of each module for the lectures and hands-on activities of the chemicalengineering course, with the most important steps is described below:Module 0: Introduction to Chemical Engineering and Lab SafetyThe focus of this module is to introduce students to engineering concepts and show that engineersdesign, conduct experiments then analyze and interpret the data. Students learned that engineersdesign a system, component or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such aseconomic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability andsustainability.

Each active thread is championed by a small facultycommittee, charged with prompting and analyzing department reflections, moderating anddocumenting departmental discussions of results, and collecting and sharing evidence-basedpractices relevant to the thread. Each thread is following coordinated change processes acrossdimensions presented by Borrego and Henderson [2] in order to have a greater

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2020Work-In-Progress: Using Jupyter Notebooks to Climb Bloom’s Taxonomy in ThermodynamicsIntroductionTo be effective engineers in the 21st century, students need a holistic understanding of thechallenges that they face in a given project. This includes ethical, economic, social, andenvironmental aspects of a design, in addition to the technical aspects. Traditional engineeringeducation focuses primarily on the latter of these, usually leaving the other aspects to the laterstages of a student’s educational program

In additional to traditional hands-on training, extended reality (XR), including Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Substitutional Reality, (SR), and Mixed Reality (MR) potentially provide more freedom to cover both theoretical and practical learning, with assistance of other software. The usage of big data technology will also provide large amount of real and well-examined results and experiences to shorten the learning curves. Social impacts of new mechatronic technologies: The new mechatronic systems are changing our life. The social impacts including legal regulations, safeties, privacies, economics, and ethics from these new devices need to be addressed. For example, the introduction of

modern engineering profession is built on constantly dealing with decisionmaking based on inadequate data from unreliable sources, ambiguity and continuous shifting ofthe project objectives, and challenging demands from all stake holders including governmentagencies, interest groups and general public. Many research studies have been based on datacollected from industries to determinethe hands-on technical and inter-personal skills required ofengineers(e.g. [1], [2]). Analysis of data has highlighted some key shortcomings of engineeringstudents with respect to requirements of professional careers. Areas for improvement includecommunication and teamwork skills, awareness of ethical, social, environmental and economicissues, and application of
veteran hiring as more charity than thestrategic boon that it is: 2) “I have worked as a recruiter that hired strictly veterans for manufacturing roles and have also been with two software companies that targeted veterans. I am also a veteran myself. I think the biggest challenge I've seen is convincing hiring managers to hire for soft skills (i.e. leadership, work ethic, etc.) when they're used to hiring for specific experience. Mentorship is also huge in the military. I was very used to my superior officers mentoring me, giving me books to read, always developing me professionally. I've personally had a lot of veterans voice their disappointment because they come to

Professional responsibility is modeledand practiced throughout as timeliness, respect, appropriate dress, appropriate language are allmade explicit with continuous feedback coming from faculty and staff. Teamwork skills areprovided in seminars and practiced in design teams. Multiple workshops per week address topicssuch as: inclusion, ethical action, leadership, reflection, management, happiness, life-workbalance, overcoming adversity, and communication.

To realize such goals, especially for the education of Millennials and Generation Z,faculty need to have deeper understanding of “our” students. The characteristics of Generation Zmay include that they are the most diverse generation, grew up with smart devices, demonstratemore current online behaviors, expect modern experience but take tech for granted, are morelikely to try and figure out problems on their own first, etc. [1-5].
