In 2020, theNew York University, Tandon School of engineering, was readying for its ABET accreditationvisit and its subsequent MSCHE visit in 2022-23. The preparation of the self-study report forABET raised the aforementioned problem of integrating inputs and processes in a meaningfulway that facilitates continuous improvement. The purpose of this paper is to describe how theNew York University (NYU) BSCE program addressed ABET and MSCHE requirements

For example, a study examining student idea generation practicesusing the SET content showed that students adopted more recommended practices after goingthrough the learning experience and they were able to apply strategies they had learned in theirdesign practice (Lee et al., 2023).Study DesignWe developed a semester-long, extracurricular software development opportunity for studentsusing a combination of SET modules and software development modules. In this study, weexamined the following question:What are the benefits and challenges of incorporating the SET modules for

What is ChatGPT? In November 2022, ChatGPT was unveiled by OpenAI, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) researchlab, a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing digital intelligence for the collective benefitof humanity [1]. Positioned as a conversational AI interface, ChatGPT leverages natural languageprocessing (NLP) to engage in realistic conversations. ChatGPT is purposefully engineered toproduce text that emulates human conversation, constituting a significant leap forward in

The audio recordings from the Spring 2022 sessions were transcribed andcleaned by a professional service, while the Fall 2022 interviews underwent auto-transcription byZoom, followed by a cleaning process by our research team. To ensure the privacy of ourparticipants, all transcripts were manually anonymized and de-identified before they wereemployed in qualitative analysis.For the purposes of this study, we selected two student interview transcripts that remainedunanalyzed by our team at the onset of this research, intending to conduct a comparativeexamination and evaluation of these

We conclude the paper witha discussion and recommendations for future work.IntroductionWhile generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) first became available for widespread use in late 2022(in the form of OpenAI’s ChatGPT platform), this milestone is the latest in a long march ofincreasingly sophisticated developments in harnessing computational power [1] for a variety ofapplications. For this paper, we will generally address how computational power and the use of datais increasingly impacting the practice of leadership. We will speak broadly to the impact of big dataand more specifically to Gen AI, but all under the umbrella term of data-enhanced leadership. Weuse this phrase to capture the phenomenon that
two-fold: 1) a command line quiz and 2) a pedagogical coding review (PCR)assessment. Both assessments are discussed in the following subsections. The targetedparticipants for these assessments were students enrolled in either the CS2 or Object-OrientedProgramming (OOP) course at a Mid-Atlantic HBCU in the United States. Both assessmentswere conducted over a span of 6 semesters ranging from Fall 2020 to Spring 2023. Just to note:the OOP course was not offered during the Fall 2021 semester, therefore the results and findingsfor this specific course only reflects five of the six semesters (Fall 2020, Spring 2021, Spring2022, Fall 2022, and Spring 2023). At this Mid-Atlantic HBCU, CS2 students are traditionallytaught intermediate programming

The participants were surveyed betweenthe winter of 2017 and the spring of 2022. The study population was divided into two settings:traditional (in-person) prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and emergency remote teaching (ERT),which was conducted remotely during the pandemic. The gender distribution showed that 74.1%of the participants were male, 24.4% were female, and a

Otherwise, they are required to find the errors in their design and report on them inthis report, making recommendations to improve upon their design. Finally, they perform a peerevaluation, which is used to determine scale factors to adjust the grades of each student for thegroup work.Evaluation of the ProjectFor evaluation of the design project, feedback was sought from the 25 TAs who had served in thelaboratory course at any point from the Spring 2022 to the Fall 2023 semester. The TAs wereasked via email to complete an anonymous IRB-exempt survey asking about their observations ofstudent behavior and performance in the

In terms ofengineering choices, it also highlights that the choice to not put more autonomy on the voice assistantdevices is a choice and a different choice could easily be made particularly if you prioritize differentgoals and objectives. This is supported by some of the approaches discussed in the course such asValue Sensitive Design, Design Justice, and others. The case studies are of increasing complexity and culminated in a case study on COVID-19 tracingapps. In Fall 2022, when the course was taught the COVID-19 pandemic was still fairly front-of-mindfor everyone. COVID-19 tracing was an important

In addition, students confirmed that thestandard ethics modules were not sufficient to understand ethical issues, and ethical implicationsof their group project, leaving them at a disadvantage as compared to their peers who graduatedfrom different educational institutions.In response to this need of students to understand the ethical implications of their group project,one of the authors of this paper who also taught capstone piloted an approach for impartingethics in her classroom in Fall 2022, which involved student teams creating a video of

It is also worth noting that the effectiveness of the socialjustice case study project could also explained in part by the broader core curriculum at LUCthat consists of 12 courses that integrate social justice principles. These 12 core courses providea social justice foundation that is combined with the effects of engineering technology in thissocial justice case study project.The use of Keenan’s Model of Conscience Formation was essential for students to empathizewith the concerns of others. This model provides a framework for being able “to respond toothers in all their need and fragility, as well as in their capacity and promise” [32]. In 2022, thismodel and accompanying question of vulnerability were introduced in the U.S

Two were hosted at a medium-sized university in Portland, OR (March 2022 and March 2023), and one was presented at anhonors conference in Missoula, MT (March 2023). In these workshops, student participants wereintroduced to one of the ideation methods used in this paper, Chindogu, and used it to solve anengineering challenge. Following each of these workshops, participants commented about theirincreased creativity while using the method and how they wished they could bring that creativespirit into all their problem-solving sessions.
