have been implicitly doingthis for sometime, the focus on outcomes now requires it to become explicit.This new focus on student learning outcomes will have an impact on curriculum at the programlevel. The traditional way of building an engineering curriculum is based on providing afoundation in the sciences, adding engineering science and then introducing program subjectmatter with increasing levels of depth. A parallel process exists for skill development,particularly for acquiring the important engineering design skills. Here, one starts with freshmanexperiencing simple design processes. By the senior year, the student is expected to incorporate

However, when faculty attitudes and mentoring practices along withdepartmental processes and procedures change, the changes are likely to be more sustainable.Using institutional theory as the analytical lens, the purpose of this paper is to examine how onecollaborative project implements a faculty-led institutional change model for diversifying theSTEM professoriate.

]. 6To break up a semester or modulate its pace, faculty can discuss their research or consultingwork or prior employment [24] or they can invite full-time practicing engineers to speak to theclass [13]. Aspiring engineers are particularly interested in hearing from recent graduates (i.e.young professionals); their talks help students to more easily envision “life after school” [17].Tools that instructors might use to assess the quality of their freshman-intro course are [16]  pre-course surveys (pre-existing knowledge & pre-conceptions),  real-time computerized student assessment (throughout the semester),  common midterms across sections (taught by different faculty),  common instructor evaluations (for every module

To demonstrate and facilitate theengineering management student experience, the researchers utilized foundational tools likeExcel, tableau, and Orange and sophisticated experiments using IBM Watson.Excel serves as a significant touch point for graduate students in analyzing data on sustainabilityconcepts.

In this paper, we outline the history, curriculum design, and implementation of acommunication course targeted to engineering students. While the course centers on oralcommunication and public speaking, it is best described as a targeted communication coursebecause the curriculum also includes written and teamwork components. Because the course is acollaborative effort between a Communication Arts and Sciences Department and a College ofEngineering, it serves as a model for other universities and colleges interested in implementing acommunication skills course specifically for

Project-based learning (PBL) is a part of a pedagogical practice thatinvolves a wide range of engineering requirements methods. However, this learning method hasnot been holistically implemented [2]. To help with this issue, ABET, in its most recent guidanceis pushing for more PBL which research has shown as key and most prevailing attribute amongsuccessful graduate engineers within the industry [1]. The prevalent method for teaching inengineering disciplines is the “Chalk and Talk” approach. The instructor will lecture and thestudent will be a passive learner, not a student centered method [1].
