The course covers a timeline that begins with early iron structures of the industrialrevolution and culminates with supertall buildings, long-span bridges, and sustainable designs ofthe 21st century. The second introductory course, “Engineering in the Modern World”, begun in1985, centers on the transformation of American society by engineering through studies of thegreat innovations of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in the main branches of engineering:civil, mechanical, electrical, chemical.This paper focuses on the first course, “Structures in the Urban Environment”. As a result of bothcontent and effective pedagogical approaches, it has positively changed perceptions aboutengineering and the societal role of engineers for

At Penn State she currently teaches a structural analysis course, the advanced steel design course and a graduate level course in steel connections. Her approach to these courses is to provide strategies for complex problem solving and a framework for lifelong learning. She is the recipient of the Penn State Engineering Society’s Outstanding Teaching Award (2003) and the Premier Teaching Award (2008).

Finally, the key assessment component—and the thrust of our argument—is that ABETassessment practices can and should be crafted to advance programmatic innovations anddifferentiation rather than constraining them. Since we are not yet accredited, this may be a risk,but it is a risk worth taking and one that we believe is well aligned with ABET’s stated goalssurrounding assessment best practices.Ultimately, our key achievement at this stage of program development is to have created ABETperformance indicators

To achieve thisgoal we targeted our first microprocessor course for improvement. This course required updatedpedagogy, instructional aids, equipment, software, and laboratory exercises. In effort to savemoney and provide design experiences for our students, we proposed having students design theprototype teaching aids for the course. Specifically, two undergraduate senior design students,Abbie Wells and Carrie Hernadez, would design a microprocessor laboratory platform for theirsenior design project. Also

universities, especially in STEMdisciplines. Research has shown that graduate students’ educational experiences aresignificantly impacted by their relationship with their adviser, yet this relationship is one of themost frequently mentioned challenges by international students. Based on the literature review,we argue that being aware of intercultural competence is essential for STEM faculty to providepositive advising experiences for international graduate students. Despite the promise ofintercultural competence promoting effective and healthy advising relationships, there islimited literature about its use at the graduate level in STEM. Because of the huge participationof Chinese students in the US educational system, this paper includes a fictional

). For Gee,discourse becomes a kind of tool to fashion a social identity. Like Fairclough’s account, it is bothlanguage used and social practice, but the focus is less on the interplay of discourse andindividual on a macro scale and more on individuals themselves. It shifts from a sociologicalaccount to a psychological one [10]. Thus, we see resonance with this theoretical understandingof discourse and our methodological approach, wherein we seek to understand how engineeringstudents use text (in the form of EDMAIC assignments) to position themselves as not simplyengineers but empathetic individuals as well.Empathy. Empathy is an important ability and skill, especially with the continued emphasis onhuman-centered design and social justice
