engineering faculty ofthe future.I. IntroductionThrough the formal development of Policy 465, the American Society of Civil Engineers hasdefined the Body of Knowledge (BOK) that describes the knowledge, skills and attitudesnecessary to become a licensed professional engineer1,2. The BOK is presented in the form of 15outcomes that prescribe the necessary breadth and depth of knowledge required for a practicingcivil engineer. The levels of competence for these outcomes were initially defined asrecognition, understanding, and ability, but have recently been revised to be defined using the sixlevels of Bloom’s Taxonomy3. The attainment of the BOK is expected to occur through a broadundergraduate education, specialized education at the masters level, and

To understand the learning outcomes of internationalengineering students, we purposefully recruited engineering students who 1) were fromdifferent countries to ensure the representativeness of our samples; 2) were graduatestudents (master or doctorate); 3) were at the last semester of their current studies. Wegot the contact information of international graduate students through the internationalstudents’ administrative offices, international student associations, and otherprofessional sources.

AutoCAD is unquestionably the most popular software for 2D designdrafting but is not so commonly used in solid modeling. However, with good mastering,AutoCAD solid modeling is highly versatile and can be competitive in small and mid-sizedengineering design and consulting firms who lack financial resources for investment in rapidlychanging parametric solid modelers.This paper explores the teaching of solid modeling using AutoCAD.

In soft lithography, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is cast into a master moldthat has microchannel patterns. After curing, the solidified PDMS channel body is separated fromthe mold and usually bonded to a substrate to form a channel device. The master mold is made byphotolithography.

Children are a large share of the users, and it was essential that thesystem be fun to use rather than a chore.

If learning is of the utmostimportance, instructors must provide multiple opportunities for students to master the content,giving students the chance to learn from their mistakes and misconceptions.It is also imperative that equity in student outcomes in courses is addressed across alldemographics. Some cultures are more time-oriented and task-oriented, while others respect thatthe learning process may take longer for some individuals [7]. Thus, instructors must vary the styleof implementation and the grade value of assessments throughout the course to achieve culturalbalance.

This includes Capstone in theBachelors (BS) program, Professional Capstone in the Master of Engineering (MEng) program,and the Capstone Projects course in the College of Medicine. Having multiple disconnected levelsof design presents numerous challenges, such as sourcing projects, structuring the scope ofprojects, and sharing resources both physical and personnel related. As a result, we elected todevelop a shared resource model for projects across these programs to meet the needs of eachprogram and to enhance the learning experience and professional preparation for students. In thisnew model, medical students develop projects based on needs identified during clinical rotations.Medical students

In the retrospective, the teamreflects on how to improve the application of the specific agile process. Scrum specifies threeroles: product owner, Scrum master, development team. An important distinction between Scrumand other agile methodologies is that it has no particular software emphasis which allows forindividual teams to specify specific engineering practices. This also makes it particularly suitableto academic settings. The table below summarizes the key components of the Scrumprocess. Scrum Components

An outcome andassociated rubric were created for each assignment/assessment that counted toward the coursegrade. The outcomes were grouped by assignment type (core quizzes, additional quizzes, guidedpractice, and participation). In Canvas, the Learning Mastery Gradebook feature was enabled forinstructor and students. This gradebook option shows how many outcomes in each group that astudent has mastered. This allows students to check their progress toward a desired course gradewithout an additional spreadsheet
