. This course, ENGR 365 Global Engineering andTechnology, also has the potential to be offered on campus with an internationalized curriculumfor students who cannot afford a trip, although we have not offered it on campus yet. The travelcourse approval has been a crucial step in this initiative, as this course is in the world culturecategory (one of the required liberal studies curriculum categories, but students have manycourse choices in each category on campus), open to all the students on campus who areinterested in how cultures affect engineering designs and sustainability plans, but not just open toengineering and technology students. This step poured the foundation for interdisciplinarycollaborations among faculty, staff, and students

Student technical writtenand oral communication are embedded in courses spanning the undergraduate experience,traditionally leaving the basic writing skills to be addressed in composition or English courses. Arecent restructuring of the University’s core curriculum heightened not only the practice ofwriting across the curriculum but emphasized the practice of writing in the discipline. Toaccommodate the new core curriculum, it was necessary for each engineering program at theUniversity to redesign one of its courses to be designated writing intensive.The Mechanical Engineering curriculum at the University of New Haven, even prior to the newcore, included a sequence of 3 laboratory courses, each

Annual assessment doesn’t need to be a burden if it’s organically rooted in a course. • EAMU provides a more robust system that is more than just a pass/fail criteria, leading to better assessment. • Currently, the Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering Program is relying largely on analytic, in-class data for assessment. An additional layer that will be conducted through a capstone audience survey is planned to be implemented this year as a more holistic, qualitative approach, but the survey will be in the form of a rubric to overlay on the EAMU vector.ConclusionWhen programs adopt the new ABET Criterion 3 Student Outcomes, it is important to recognize that a robustassessment

Integrate various strands of electrical and computer engineering through experiential learning.Given that there was little room in our freshman and junior year curriculum, the only option wasto add a sophomore-level course. This means that we will have to rely on individual courses inthe junior year to carry on the development of student skills and abilities. For the second goal,we decided to use advanced IoT-ready microcontrollers as a standard tool. This decision hasaffected our freshman courses because we will now require that some basic skills related toprogramming be more targeted towards microcontroller programming.One issue that all engineering programs face is an overcrowded
the sensitivity and judgment of microethics andmacroethics, sensitivity to diversity, and interest in promoting organizational ethical culture—atthe end of their engineering studies than they were at the beginning. As such, many studies havefocused on developing and improving the curriculum surrounding ethics through, for instance,exposing students to ethics case studies. However, such ethics courses often present a narrow andsimplified view of ethics that students may struggle to integrate with their broader experience asengineers. Thus, there is a critical need to unpack the complexity of ethical behavior amongstengineering students in order to determine how to better foster ethical judgment and behavior.Promoting ethical behavior among

school makerspace often have a difficulttime integrating the makerspace into their day-to-day instruction in a sensible and impactful way.In addition, we have observed that when K-12 educators who use school makerspaces havequestions about best practices, or when they need guidance developing their own maker-basedactivities, they have relatively few helpful resources to consult. These issues appear to be due, inpart, to the fact that there is no universally-agreed-upon cannon of makerspace best practices andlimited high-quality makerspace standards-aligned curricula.In an effort to support K-12 educators integrating makerspaces and maker-based activities intotheir instruction, we created The SMU Maker Education Project.

Lastly, student agency has been defined as “the waysstudents develop personally through engagement with knowledge” [24]. This characterization ofstudent agency is similar to Svihla et al. [21]. Both studies focused on students developing agencyas an integral piece for navigating pathways into their career as an engineer.Along with varying theoretical underpinnings of agential frameworks, multiple approaches wereused to investigate student learning, such as a multiple case study, narrative analysis, andphenomenography. The narrative analysis conducted by Case [23] highlighted how the studentsfelt constrained by the curriculum, which in turn

From these goals and commitments, programs such asthe RISE first year seminar were developed.The RISE first year seminar started as PRiSE, Promoting Retention in Science and Engineering,in the 2013 academic year. Students joined PRiSE to build community, receive mentorship,tutoring, and academic advising as well as be supported by the Center for STEM Diversity.Since its inception, PRiSE has transformed into RISE, the program it is today. During thistransformation, RISE has grown into an official Registrar approved two-semester seminar coursewith a curriculum focused on building a cohort of students who can support one another as theybuild their sense of belonging, self-efficacy and academic expertise.

engineering classes, we want to particularly highlight low-investment, easy-entryexamples of how a process orientation to writing can be implemented in STEM classes. Forexample, in large, minimal-credit orientation courses for first-year students, we have designedseveral short writing assignments. When introducing these assignments to the students,instructors talk about how writing is integral to their discipline and can serve a wide range ofpurposes. Most of these assignments are reflective, prompting students to capture their thoughtsabout a reading or presentation. Other assignments are more structured and oriented todeveloping professional communication practices, such as drafting an email to a professor askingfor advice after missing class
)AbstractResearch has shown that study abroad yields the greatest educational outcomes for interculturalcompetency when it is couched in a curriculum that encourages preparation before and reflectionafter the abroad experience. To enhance the educational outcomes of engineering students’ studyabroad experiences, we developed a certificate program that couples an abroad experience withadditional coursework in global topics and a reflection assignment. The certificate program isbased on a similar program at Northern Arizona University, and is otherwise rare in our peerschools. The goal of the program is to encourage students to engage in coursework and experiencesthat cultivate cultural competency, and to recognize students’ efforts when they do so. In

ARCE curriculum requires upper-division students to complete three structural design labcourses on steel, timber/masonry, and concrete. In each, students have a culminating projectwhere they assemble a complete calculation and drawing package for an assigned building; thesesubmittals often involve 2-3 students and hundreds of pages of documents. The ARCE 451faculty elected to grade student submittals in Bluebeam (a tool utilized in the industry review andpermitting process) to provide feedback to the students. Adopting this grading methodologymeant that hardcopy paper student submittals were replaced by PDF files containing drawingsand scans of hand calculations, which the students organized in Bluebeam and then uploaded toPolyLearn.Student
