Engaging students in evaluation of engineering situation through information literacyAbstractThe Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) requires that students inaccredited programs be able to, “recognize ethical and professional responsibilities inengineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact ofengineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts” (2018). Whilecovering the technical content of engineering courses, faculty sometimes forget our students’need to acquire these crucial non-engineering skills as a part of their preparation to enter into theprofession. This paper describes the process of integrating some of

executingtheir capstone project are unable to fully realize the breadth of the “situation” particularly in thedesign and deployment of robotic and automation designs. Often it is impractical forengineering students to create a real-world equivalent problem to address full breadth thatimplementing a robotic system for automation requires. To address this challenge, a relationshipbetween Boys Republic and Cal Poly Pomona was established which benefit both Cal PolyPomona engineering students while providing a solution for Boys Republic in the assembly ofChristmas wreaths.Cal Poly Pomona’s approach to its engineering curriculum, specifically the Department ofElectromechanical Engineering Technology, focuses on teaching engineering students therelationship

considerations of working as anengineer, and how critical thinking and social and emotional competencies are essential to solveproblems and generate technological innovations.2 Although it is well-recognized that such skillsare important in professional contexts, there is some evidence that traditional engineeringeducation does not effectively foster the growth of critical thinking skills and creativity inengineering students.3 Research in engineering education has focused considerable effort oninvestigating more effective teaching methods to target these skills.4 To contextualize the presentresearch, a review of literature on critical thinking is provided alongside a review of scholarshipexamining the effect that flipped classrooms and varied

Recruitment methods for the survey included flyers and in-person and emailcommunications with computer science faculty and staff who coordinate undergraduate,graduate, and online programs. We made announcements about the survey during libraryinstruction sessions in computer science and other programs. In the end, we found thatnewsletters and online course management systems also increased participation.The cross-institutional study between three institutions have distinctly different studentpopulations.

Developing Strategies to Improve Student Engagement, Learning and Enjoyment of Introductory Computer Science CoursesProfessor Heather Marriott – Computer, Electrical and Software Engineering DepartmentEmbry-Riddle Aeronautical UniversityAbstract - Introductory computer science courses have traditionally been taught using a lecture-based style, and this is perpetuated by the computer science community continuing to teach inthe style in which they were taught. While educational research has proven the effectiveness ofactive learning in the classroom, many computer science professors find it difficult in incorporatethese techniques into their classrooms.
