in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.5The study provides a pre- and post-evaluation of student artifacts, which included the addition oflibrary instruction and assignment design to improve student learning.Technical and Professional Skills AssessmentStudents graduating from engineering programs need both technical and professionalskills. Teaching and assessing professional skills can be challenging, but has been proven to bepossible, either through assessing each skill individually or through an integrated approach.7An area of continued concern in engineering education is students’ ability to communicate.Many students take composition and oral communication courses, which are not fully integratedwithin their discipline

functional analog and digital circuits. As is integrated into the learningoutcomes, students in this course are expected to analyze circuit problems that are different fromwhat they have seen in the class and use what they have learned in the course to designfunctional circuits that satisfy the specified criteria. As an example, after learning about the PNjunction diodes and the structure of half-wave and full-wave rectifiers, they were asked to designa DC power supply that would provide a certain average dc output voltage with a ripple voltageless than the given maximum value.Solving the design problems required students to develop a strong understanding of the materialand achieve a mastery level in mapping the design criteria to the circuit

Beyond loading the software, the Biola UnoProject should strive to have the same capability levels as other models.Bibliography[1] “Arduino Uno.” http://prosoltechnologies.com/product/arduino-uno/ (accessed Feb. 04, 2020).[2] D.

and come with an integrated development environment.2.1 Lectures Designed for Active Participation and In-Class ExercisesMany of today’s classrooms are equipped with computers for every student, these computersshould be used throughout the lecture to help improve student engagement and understanding ofthe material. My class sessions include a lecture the first half of class followed by hands-on in-class exercises using the material covered in the lecture. The lecture itself contains manyexamples of sample code that students copy and paste (thus avoiding typing errors) and run inparallel with the lecture. The lecture requires that students try different inputs to the programsand make small modifications to see the effect of the changes. This

trainingSome educators may argue that the existing computer science ethics education does not impactstudent views on algorithm bias and their professional knowledge. Indeed, taking one or possiblytwo engineering ethics courses as part of a degree program may not have a lasting impact onstudents embarking on professional careers. However, alternatives to semester-long ethicscourses may be more effective and impactful. In a systematic literature review on engineeringethics education, Hess​13​ (2018) suggests integrating micro-insertions of ethical decision-makingacross the curriculum. For example, the micro-insertion of asking students to choose betweentwo refrigerants by weighing not only environmental impacts but also adding costconsiderations​14

The focus of this work-in-progress is tobetter understand how these factors manifest in the micro-level interactions that take place withinan engineering curriculum as part of an engineering design process. In this case, we areinterested in how gender composition might affect the ways engineering teams engage in andtalk during brainstorming activities.To do so, we developed an exploratory, mixed-methods study to examine potential factors thatmight influence ideation effectiveness for engineering teams. The present work is focused on ourqualitative codebook development related to the ways power manifests in conversation duringbrainstorming.Engineering Design Processes and Conceptual DesignThe engineering

Project Ponderosa – Bridging Engineering Education to Vocational Training Dr. Scott Boskovich, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, CA 91768 and Dr. Chris Burns, Boys Republic, Chino Hills, CA 91709AbstractThe application of robotics and automation in industry continues to be an increasing area ofgrowth. Subsequently, this requires an increased demand for design engineering students as wellas knowledgeable users trained for equipment maintenance. However, this can becomeproblematic to adequately provide a realistic environment for both teaching design of roboticssystems as well as the maintenance. In recent years
