The overarching themes are color-coded in the secondcolumn to help highlight patterns throughout the years, as well as highlighted in the Appendix A Legend.DEI efforts as a theme can be seen from the start of the Leonhard Center through 2021. The engineeringcurriculum was a major theme at the start of the Leonhard Center through 2002. Entrepreneurship was a maintheme in 1998 and 2001. Ethics was a major theme from 2010-2015, and again in 2022. Graduate educationbecame a focus from 2015-2018, as the mission of the Leonhard Center expanded to include graduateeducation (as the

The goal of this paper is to determine the impact of the courseexperiences on students’ engineering/computing science identity and sense of belonging acrossmultiple cohorts of data and to explore improvements in the impacts as the teaching teamimproves the course structure and delivery.The two-semester course sequence was first developed as a pilot for the 2022 - 2023 academicyear with approximately 20 - 25% of the student body randomly assigned to the new sequence.

Homework assignments were distributed on paper andonline, and turned in online, with no repeats.An increase in class GPA and percentage of students passing since using Mastery Learning hasbeen seen. The penalty for retakes seemed to have little effect in discouraging students fromretaking tests with inadequate preparation. This lack of effect may be due to the students notimmediately ‘feeling’ the consequences of having to retake a problem.Table 1.

Teaching and Educational Research in EngineeringAbstractThe use of generative Artificial Intelligence (genAI) in teaching and education has receivedattention and rapid growth in university engineering programs since OpenAI released ChatGPT inNovember 2022. In this paper, the authors explore the use of genAI in teaching and educationalresearch in engineering disciplines and examine potential benefits and challenges whiletransitioning to genAI implemented in engineering education. This study A) Analyzes howeducators and learners understand and identify the usage of genAI and ChatGPT in engineeringeducation; B) Explores the potential benefits, challenges, and limitations of using thesetechnologies; and C) Identifies educators' perceptions of using
