development of the program and challenges along the way. As the programwas just launched in Fall 2019, we do not present assessment data here, but rather brieflydescribe our approach to program assessment.IntroductionThe 2016-17 academic year marked the 150th anniversary of engineering degree programs atLafayette College is a liberal arts college of ~2600 undergraduate students in Easton, PA. At theMarch 1866 board of trustees meeting the college had instituted its first engineering degrees incivil and mining engineering, citing “a demand to set the goal of educating not just the engineer,but the ‘whole [person]’ who is able to meet the challenges of a world in which, scientific,technological and human needs have steadily become more complex [1
scientists, especiallythose that will be working with data about people and with automated techniques that can haveconsequences on people's lives” [4, p. 20]. Similar to the curriculum defined by IDSSP [3], theyrecommend that students study failures as well as successful case studies. The report alsoincludes a link to a list of university courses on ethics and technology and other resources [5].The ethical topics raised in the report can be summarized in two categories: 1. educational training: curriculum and research programs; define code of ethics, and 2. current events/case studies: success and disaster stories.2.5 National Academies of Science/Engineering/Medicine (NASEM)The US National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM

Topics covered (1) tensile testing ofductile materials, (2) tensile testing of brittle materials, (3) torsional testing of ductile materials,and (4) torsional testing of brittle materials. The simulation module was designed to bridge thegap between the theoretical concepts, limitations of experimental testing, and the complexity ofpractical applications. In addition, it is familiarizing students with digital technology skills thatare highly relied on in industry, as well as helping fulfill ABET student outcome (k). Team-based learning and scaffolding were integrated to this module as part of the teaching strategies.Overall, adding simulations to a fundamental mechanical engineering course

AbstractConventional architecture and architectural engineering pedagogy deals with design of buildingsand systems for earth-specific functions, spans and load demands. Architecture curriculum hasrequired educators to constantly transform and innovate their course offerings to meet the changingtrends and rapid technological advancements. The discourse about space exploration andcolonization have placed a creative onus on educators who have traditionally taught design forearth conditions alone. While terrestrial structures are typically designed for service conditionsand region-specific severe conditions, outer space structures in contrast are designed for uniqueextreme conditions such as zero or microgravity, gamma radiation, high temperature fluctuations,and
