Information literacy (IL) is the abilityto find, evaluate, and use information ethically. Many students are not taught these skills in highschool, and often do not realize their deficiencies until their first year of college when
to process and identify connections with environmental, ethical, and societal factors.The components of an effective service learning reflection can be described by the 5 C’s:continuous, connected, challenging, contextualized, and coached [11]. The reflection should becontinuous throughout project, that is, it should happen before, during, and after the experience.The connection component should link the service experience to the course curriculum. Thereflection should challenge students to engage with current issues, while also contextualizing thework in a way that fits the specific project. Finally, coaching is necessary for supporting studentsintellectually, emotionally and academically.Student reflections can also be useful tools for the

Students still experiencecultural diversity, challenges with linguistic barriers, and differing norms and ethics similar to anexperience of longer duration.Global CompetencePresently the engineering industry is changing rapidly in terms of technology more than everbefore. Engineers are expected to keep up with the change of pace by constantly upgradingthemselves with technical engineering competence and to develop additional skillsets, includingglobal competence to survive in a global engineering environment. A key element to developglobal competence and perspective is
design solutions that meet specified needs;(3) an ability to communicate effectively to a variety of audiences;(4) an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities and make sound judgments;(5) an ability to function on a team, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives;(6) an ability to develop and conduct experimentation to evaluate their own project; and,(7) an ability to research solutions to problems as needed.Many of these goals form a template to help students learn and evaluate their own progress. Ingeneral, students like structure but it is equally important to allow them the opportunity to bothsucceed and fail.

Those key elements of cooperative learning are highly required in multidisciplinaryindustrial environments and should be incorporated in designing interdisciplinary courses.There is an emerging understanding by many accrediting agencies that our students requirestronger career preparation. The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) hasidentified eight career readiness competencies: 1) Professionalism/Work ethic; 2) Oral/Writtencommunications; 3) Critical thinking/Problem solving; 4) Teamwork/Collaboration; 5)Leadership; 6) Digital technology; 7) Career management; 8) Global/Intercultural fluency [10].These competencies are echoed by our governing accrediting bodies, the Association to AdvanceCollegiate Schools of Business (AACSB
, increasing their motivation tolearn and persist when faced with failure or challenges, and they further develop an engineeringmindset. Consistent with the most recent Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET) [11], makerspaces may increase the ability to meet the expected student outcomes forengineering preparation programs [8]. Thus, makerspaces can be used to increase students’ability to apply STEM knowledge, conduct experiments, analyze the outcomes of thoseexperiments, work within constraints, work in teams, understand engineering as service tosociety, and understand their professional and ethical responsibilities. It is important to keep inmind many engineers working in large companies may never directly create a prototype as

Weare proud of this innovative, cross-disciplinary curriculum as solving future issues with social andeconomic components will require majors outside of the environmental sciences.The Minor in Sustainability is 18 hours (6 courses). Three of these courses can be selected as part of thedegree plan of most students if they choose wisely from the list of course options. For these three coursesstudents must take one course from each of three course areas. The areas include 1) environmentalscience fundamentals, 2) social and ethical considerations and 3) technical and business applications. An important addition to the technical

While severalparticipants did mention a service ethic as influencing their decision to join the military, thistheme was not quite as strong as it was in our earlier studies of SVEs. The RANGE studentswere also more likely to indicate
learning and development [1]. Broadly, studies of student engagement have oftenexamined relationships between a student’s educational experiences and the outcomes of interest,finding that, in general, higher engagement was linked to gains in outcomes such as learning andpersistence [2], [3]. In particular, engagement in co-curricular settings, or experiences outside theclassroom, has been linked to the development of several technical and professional outcomesfor engineering students such as leadership, ethical decision making, teamwork, andcommunication [4]–[9]. Beyond those outcomes, co-curricular engagement has also been linkedto outcomes such as self-efficacy and a sense of belonging, which can improve retention andpersistence in engineering
Latin, had greater “transfer” value than others in facilitating learning. Forexample, Latin would help people think more rigorously, thus a student wishing to enterOxbridge should demonstrate proficiency in Latin in the entrance examination. John HenryNewman wrote to his sister Jemima in 1845, predating faculty psychology- “The great pointis to open men’s minds – to educate them-and make them logical it does not matter what thesubject is, which you use for this purpose. If you will make them think in politics you willmake them think in religion”. In the twenty first century Brad J. Kallenburg showed howreasoning in design is analogous with reasoning in ethics, and how the design paradigm canbe a means of bringing engineering ethics into

For studentveterans in engineering programs, many of their former military experiences prepare them todevelop clear and effective communication skills and teamwork capacity, which are highlyvalued in engineering fields [10]. Based on their prior military experiences, student veterans arealso likely to possess a strong work ethic and a keen interest in practical problem-solving. Theirstrong

But in doing so, what should the guiding principles of students’behavior with communities be?4. Theory 2: How should engineers behave with communities?In a different writing, we have shown how engineering ethics benefit the relationships thatengineers have with corporate employers while not serving as appropriate guides in theirrelationship with communities. [22] To overcome the limitations of engineering ethics (the codesand the forms in which they are taught), we developed a set of criteria for socially responsibleengineering (SRE), which I highlight here with examples of how students began developingthese

SEEFs shared common motivations ofjoining a career involving instruction motivated by experiences during student teaching roles,and a desire to improve teaching practices. In addition, the SEEF community referred to Barkleyet al.’s handbook [29] on collaborative learning techniques provided a wealth of teachingmethods, along with Godsell’s sourcebook [30] which provided perspective on differentmethods, their implementation and evaluation, among many other sources. However common toall the SEEFs was interpreting the application of these methods to fit their discipline. Forexample, in Computer Science the jigsaw method was used to explore the ethics of human-computer

The cultivation of professional spirit and ethics requires students todeeply study the advanced technologies and corporate culture of enterprises, conductengineering practice in depth, and participate in the technological innovation and engineeringdevelopment of enterprises.On September 17, 2018, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Industry and

The studywas approved by the U of S Behavioural Research Ethics Board. Volunteers completed a “pre-survey” that examined knowledge, skills, and attitudes regarding trusses, before trusses had beentaught in the classroom. Participants were then randomly assigned to one of three groups: no lab,regular lab, and TrussVR© lab. All participants then attended 2 weeks of in-class lectures ontrusses, frames, and machines, as they normally would. During this time, the “no lab” group didnot complete an experimental lab on trusses

addition, two experimental studies were carried out to understand differentinsights into human-robot collaboration and the task fulfillment process [7], [23]. The findingsfrom the studies highlighted the importance of preparing students and the engineering workforceto develop teamwork competencies for an effective hybrid collaboration in all the three levels.However, with the increase in autonomous system Hoeschl et al. [19] recommended a differentperspective on hybrid collaboration in industries. According to Hoeschl et al. [19], humansshould always have control over autonomous systems to some extent in case of any extremeevents that might cause ethical conflicts during collaboration.High Interpersonal SkillsSome of the team roles will require
