engineering and technologyeducation. The first section of this paper describes the meaning and rationale behindeach of the Bologna objectives, and why there is a need to establish a European areaof higher education. It also comments on how these objectives are interpreted withineducational institutions. The second section provides a mid-term report on theimplementation status within European universities, focussed primarily onengineering and technology education. The third section of this paper describes theissues associated with successfully implementing Bologna in engineering andtechnology education. These include critical issues such as degree structure, howeducational institutions are addressing the two-cycle requirement, the employabilityof
taught [5].Follow up studies that analyzed subsamples of Love et al.’s national data set [3,5] revealedsimilar safety deficiencies and safety items correlated with accidents according to individualstates [23-25] and regions [3,26]. One of those studies found that in comparison to other regionsof the U.S., equipment/machinery was involved in a significantly greater number of accidents inmiddle Atlantic (mid-Atlantic) P-12 engineering education courses. That study also found thatmanufacturing and construction focused classes taught by mid-Atlantic P-12 engineeringeducators had a significantly higher rate of accidents than the same course taught in other U.S.regions. However, there was no significant difference in the number of accidents that

A unique opportunity for direct comparison of online and hybrid modalitiespresented itself in fall 2020 at a large Mid-Atlantic university. The engineering college teaches ageneral education course on the History of Engineering that is open to all majors. The course wasdeveloped about eight years ago and has been taught each semester and in several summersessions ever since. There are no technical aspects to the course; it covers the history ofengineering from the ancients to today, with an term paper at the end of the course that asksstudents to research and discuss a topic about the future of engineering.In fall 2020 two sections of the course were taught by the same professor

This project wasdisplayed in the recent UG Symposium and reviewed by the Provost who was very pleased withthe results.We can effectively meet the needs of student and industry by providing the engineeringtechnology student with a comprehensive design experience that closely matches thatencountered by professional design engineers. We can seek to develop the communication andteaming skills that are an inherent and vital part of design activity and address the need topromote the creative capabilities of the entering student 3.Bibliography 1.

questions, a survey was sent to all engineering undergraduate transferstudents at a mid-sized, Mid-Atlantic university. The survey included basic demographicquestions (age, race, gender, major), transfer status, perception of transfer shock, and questionsregarding the participant’s social network. The social network questions asked the participant toname up to 10 of their closest friends at the university and answer demographic questions aboutthese friends (age, gender, major, and whether a friend is a transfer student). Participants thenidentified how they interacted with each friend and whether the friends they named knew oneanother in order to generate an ego network for each participant.Social network analysis was done using the software

paper.MethodsThe present mixed-methods study occurred during the fall 2017 semester in a mid-Atlantic,research-intensive university. Participants included UTAs enrolled in the Teaching Methodscourse and students enrolled in APMA courses. Data sources included pre- and post-surveys andUTA Teaching Methods course assignments.ParticipantsParticipants included 20 of the 26 students (77%) enrolled in the three different sections of theTeaching Methods courses who consented to participate in the IRB-approved study. See Table 1for UTA participant demographics. The majority of participants were UTAs for calculus-basedcourses; two participants (10%) UTA’d Calculus I, four participants (20%) UTA’d Calculus II,two participants (10%) UTA’s for Multivariable calculus
total). One mid-sized private Midwesterninstitution only enrolls around 8 students per section with a total of 5 sections. In terms of safety, the institutions show a wide variety of course outcomes and teachingpractices. A summary is shown in Table 1. Focusing on course outcomes, it is notable thatseveral institutions’ outcomes are vague regarding safety, while at least one institution onlymentions lab safety (vs. process safety), and one institution does not mention safety at all. As faras teaching practices, all the courses involve teaching safety to some extent, but the practicesvary from lab safety certifications to single lectures on process safety to qualitative risk analysisof the specific experiments being performed with no wider
planned before the pandemic, the changes in oursupport systems and the focus of our team due to the pandemic were necessary items to considerin our research. This led us to include COVID-19 specific interview questions, and the resultsfrom these questions are discussed in their section within the results.4. Participants For this study, we interviewed 8 participants in various academic standings enrolled inengineering programs at a mid-Atlantic US university. The participants comprise 4 female and 4male students who hail from 6 different countries. Table 1 provides information on the studentsinterviewed with their home country, grade, and involvement.

This department also createdand integrated several computational modules into the six materials science core courses tosupport solving disciplinary problems. This presented an opportunity to conduct research toidentify effective pedagogical strategies to scaffold student learning in this context 4,5.Identifying appropriate scaffolding methods in this endeavor is important because learningcomputer programming is a complex task in itself. Now, pairing programming with disciplinaryconcepts may increase the complexity of this learning process4. To scaffold the integration of programming concepts with disciplinary concepts, thisstudy

Instead, through this qualitative thematic analysis, we attend tothe different ways students take up and respond to social, political, and economic dimensionsthat have to do with environmental justice and environmental racism.Curricular Revision on Environmental RacismFor the week on environmental racism, students were tasked with reading two articles.

students' path into STEM?Toward answering this question, this paper explores the lived experiences of a group of studentsenrolled in a non-disciplinary engineering program at a mid-Atlantic, primarily undergraduate,comprehensive, public university. For these students, we examine their described pathways intoengineering by identifying and defining the types of influential experiences on the constructs ofhighly structured activities to completely unstructured activities and those driven by certainforms of curiosity. Their pathways provide insight into the overlapping experiences of learningin formal educational settings as well informal settings such as the home. Defining theseactivities allows for a clearer understanding of what constitutes
