In engineering education, scoring rubrics have been used in the performance evaluation of awide range of ABET and other outcomes, including professional skills [10], ethics [11], writingskills [12], design competency [13, 14], and students’ software skills [15]. The motivation to usescoring rubrics in engineering education also is due to the lack of satisfaction emanating from theuse of the traditional grading process which have been criticized for their bias, and unrealisticstandards [2, 9, 15]. Rubrics are attractive since they can be adjusted to

Every week students should submit theirdesign, and calculation. For example, if students use SONAR in their project, in the engineeringlogbook they must write all calculations and how to measure distance or in the case of motorconnection to micro-controller they must write in the logbook all calculations for the requiredcurrent. Regarding ethics, in the course shell one module should be covered the engineeringethics specially IEEE Engineering

In short, the PE has completedseveral steps (post-bachelor’s degree) that indicate a high level of commitment to professionalknowledge and competency. These steps typically include passing an 8-hour fundamentals exam,completing four years of progressive engineering experience in a particular field of engineering(under the supervision of a PE), and then passing an 8-hour exam testing knowledge gainedduring the candidate’s period of apprenticeship. Once obtained, the engineer is obligated to meetboth a professional standard of care and code of professional ethics to maintain the license.When is a PE license required? Each state has a definition

What aspects of the student experience do students identify as causing or relating to those feelings?BackgroundFeelings and AffectThe term affect can refer to several aspects of a student experience that relate to feeling oremotion, as opposed to cognition or behavior. A student’s affect has the capability to greatlyimpact their school experience: it has also been found that a positive affect correlates to highersuccess in school [1]. A student’s emotions can impact their cognitive functioning [2], theiremotional intelligence and abilities to work with other students [3] and can affect ethical decisionmaking [4]. However, beyond considering how affect impacts other elements of a studentexperience, it is also important

This engineeringexperience provides young students with a more holistic understanding of engineering than otherprograms by presenting a wide variety of engineering disciplines connected by sharing goals ofaddressing far-reaching societal problems. Interdisciplinary collaboration is also modeledthrough cross-program collaborations and activities. The EID program has partnered with the Humanity in a Digital World program to discussthe ethics of artificial intelligence in autonomous vehicles. The undergraduate programs atNortheastern University have a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary learning and this
importance of society inengineering design. A few of the papers defined the steps of the design process and includedsocial elements such as “identify a design need” and “research a design need” (A3, p.74). Thesewould need to be further defined in order to ensure students were properly considering the needsof their users and the impact on society. For example, one paper further defined the outcome tobe “Appreciate and consider the non-technical constraints (ethical, political, aesthetic,environmental, economic, cultural, etc.) in their work” (A5, p.2).Many of the findings which came out of the research also reflected on the importance offurthering this connection to society. For example, one of the authors recommended to “engagedesign coaches to help

In the ethics module they were asked toreflect on ethical and professional behavior and how that behavior influenced their capstoneexperience.Similar to the “assess and adjust” exercise, as mentioned previously, the first author conductedmid-term evaluations where she asked students about problems in their teams and in the course

sciencesare taught alongside clinical sciences [4]. This approach has been shown to improve both studentknowledge and clinical skills [5, 6]. In an undergraduate engineering curriculum verticalintegration has previously been used to improve student engagement through concurrent teachingand utilization of the concepts. More specifically, in an engineering design course a combinationof professional, ethical, technical, or communication skills are both taught and used [7, 8]. Vertical integration can give students exposure to design skills prior to a fourth yearcapstone project; yet, it does not inherently provide a context for the experience. Industry,service learning, or academic research could all fill this criterion. Industry or service

Throughout these transformations, the University’s senior leadership alwaysapproved the proposed changes and maintained the mandatory information literacy training.Students participating in the training sessions filled teaching evaluation surveys, for which theresults are presented in this paper. The surveys asked the students about their degree ofsatisfaction regarding the different objectives of the training sessions, namely defining aninformation need, building and optimizing a search strategy, finding information sources relevantto their field, and learning how to ethically use information. The surveys also asked whethersufficient time

In addition, they were less able to showany optimization of their initial prototype to create and test a final prototype, as well as, be ableto place their designs into a larger context, such as global, regulatory, ethical, etc. This reportcannot show that these concepts were not considered by the teams, just that they were notreported in the final design documents. Emphasis of reporting these concepts in the documentscould be a relatively easy fix if this were the issue.The data presented also represent an average scoring across SD design documents from alldepartments.

The goal of this course is not only to teach students the tactics and tools necessary tosecure a job, as emphasized in the work of Sharp and Rowe [12], but also to introduce studentsvery early on to the types of skills that they should be developing

Functionally-,ethically- and otherwise diverse teams generate more ideas than homogeneous ones, increasingbreakthrough opportunities. While, considering that every stage of design is a prototype from astoried drawing to in-market solutions; iteration empowers the application of new thinking toseemingly stale issues. The keys to scaling design thinking to complex problems and complexteams involve aligning on a common understanding of the most important and most impactful useroutcomes to achieve (called Hills); and bringing the team and stakeholders into a loop of restlessreinvention where they reflect on work in a
