student’s chosen undergraduate degree programme. TheIEP emphasizes creativity, communication, choice, interdisciplinarity, teamwork, professionaldevelopment and responsible innovation by learning through projects and the social context ofengineering. A main goal of the IEP at its inception was to position people and the complexchallenges of our world at the center of engineering thinking and practice for students bychanging the way we teach engineering at UCL. The IEP is 8 years old with the first intake ofyear 1 students under the new IEP curriculum in 2014-15 and our first graduating class in 2017.Over 6,000 students have graduated so far.The IEP has several innovative curricular features.

collaboration between the School of Engineering and the local community hasbeen positive and very successful. In this paper, several Senior Design projects are discussed.The assessment and evaluation of ABET Student Outcomes using the Senior Design course ispresented and discussed as a means of directly measuring curriculum success. Engineering’sSenior Design course has had a direct impact on the local community, often with a significantreturn on investment for industrial partners. The significance of this community engagement hasresulted not only in the employment of all of our seniors at graduation, but also in the program’srapid growth.1. IntroductionWestern Illinois University in Macomb, Illinois was granted permission to create a new Schoolof
College of Engineering. The Engineering Education Transformations Institute at UGA is an innovative approach that fuses high quality engineering education research with systematic educational innovation to transform the educational practices and cultures of engineering. Dr. Walther’s research group, the Collaborative Lounge for Understanding Society and Technology through Educational Research (CLUSTER), is a dynamic in- terdisciplinary team that brings together professors, graduate, and undergraduate students from engineer- ing, art, educational psychology, and social work in the context of fundamental educational research. Dr. Walther’s research program spans interpretive research methodologies in engineering

The objective of these efforts isthe development and dissemination of practical technical resources that benefit the largest number ofSMEs and hence have the most significant impact. Summary and ConclusionsThis paper introduces the recently established UNTIAC as part the national DOE IAC program andfocuses on describing its experiential education framework to train next-generation energy-conscious engineers. The training process is designed for participating graduate and undergraduateengineering students, follows steps from recruitment to graduation through examination andcertification, and includes main activities of orientation and safety training

provides for their health and well-being while they contribute to the organization‟s goals. 9) Provide women with powerful coaching and development processes so that they are equipped to be self-aware, able to stand in their authenticity, and become strong advocates for their own interests and pursuits. This strategy is aimed at both educational institutions and industry. Its intent would be to provide “best practice” leadership development programs that attract high talent women and prepare them to be authentic leaders, true to their own voices and passions, and taking a strong role in shaping their futures. More and more Universities and Engineering Professional Organizations are investing in women

Engineering, as a key component of STEM education, offers hands-on,designed-based, problem solving activities to drive student interest and confidence in STEMoverall. However, K-12 STEM teachers may not feel equipped to implement engineeringpractices and may even experience anxiety about trying them out in their classrooms without theadded support of professional development and professional learning communities.To address these concerns and support engineering integration, this research study examined theexperiences of 18 teachers in one professional development program dedicated to STEMintegration and engineering pedagogy for K-12 classrooms.
