He studied mechanical and aerospace engineering at UVa and had worked in theengineering field for more than 3 years. According to a survey taken before the role-playingsimulation, he is proficient in only English and reported he had no previous culturalexperience. Ben also reported a strong interest in learning about other cultures: he wasinterested in studying abroad in Germany. He agreed he enjoys role-playing simulations andstrongly agreed they are useful educational tools. Further, his survey responses indicated heenjoys playing roles that go against his beliefs.

Their overall grade point average after threesemesters determines their eligibility for an engineering major. Students may use the springsemester of their sophomore year to complete the four required entrance-to-major courses.Students who complete the four required courses with a “C,” or better and have grade pointaverages above the cut-off, as determined by each engineering department, are officially admittedinto an engineering major by the end of their sophomore year. Students with grade pointaverages below the cut-offs established by each department can remain at the university andchoose another major or leave the university to pursue an

The two-hour course is deliveredin a lecture/lab format: students attend a fifty-minute lecture session early in the week in a largelecture theater, and later in the week, they attend a two-and-one-half-hour lab session. Each labsection has an enrollment between 14 and 20 students, allowing for a smaller-class setting thanthe lecture theater. Because students are in class more than three hours per week, courseactivities and assignments often take place in class.TU is a small, private, historically black college (HBCU) located in the southeastern UnitedStates

collecting data for this paper. Of those six, twowere second-year MS students, and four were first-year students that were just finishing their first semesterof their engineering Master’s program. Five participants were men and one was a woman. Three of theparticipants had previously attended Penn State for their undergraduate degree, and the others transitionedfor their graduate work from a variety of institutions. The disciplines of these students in who participatedin the interviews reported here included aerospace, nuclear, and electrical engineering.Data Collection and Analysis: Semi-structured interviews[23] were conducted via Zoom with the studyparticipants, recorded, and transcribed.

Practice and reflection II: Engineering dynamicsEngineering Dynamics is a challenging course undertaken by students majoring in MechanicalEngineering, Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Geomatics Engineering, andvarious minors such as Aerospace and Mechatronics at our institute. Typically, this course isscheduled in the third semester, following the completion of Statics. The curriculum is dividedinto two main modules: Particle Dynamics, which is covered before the midterm, and RigidBody Dynamics, which follows the midterm examination. The assessment structure includeseight quizzes, one midterm, a makeup midterm, and a final exam.Traditionally, the

engineering undergraduate students. These interviews,conducted in the Fall of 2023, had two primary objectives: • To identify the specific programming knowledge and skills that engineering faculty deemed essential for their students to succeed in both their courses and future professional practice, and • To gather input from CS faculty on the key components and best practices for designing and delivering a robust CS1 introductory programming course.We interviewed 10 faculty members from four engineering programs: Civil Engineering (CE),Aerospace Engineering (AE), Mechanical Engineering (ME), and Bioengineering (BioE).

IntroductionCircuits is one of the fundamental gateway courses not only required for Electrical Engineeringstudents, but also other engineering majors, such as Aerospace Engineering, ChemicalEngineering, Civil Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering, many of whom include a circuitscourse as part of their undergraduate curriculum [1]. Moreover, there have been a number ofinterventions in circuits aimed at improving students’ understanding and helping undergraduatestudents

Despite the challenges, the program continued toemphasize practical, real-world skills. These critical challenges laid the foundation for a strongerprogram moving into the 2021-2022 academic year (designated here as “Year 1”) to build ourcurrent capstone design program.2.1 Year 1: Return to In-Person Instruction (2021-2022)During the 2021-2022 academic year, the program fully returned to in-person instruction.

While PHYS 212 is amandatory course for all engineering majors, EE 210 is specifically required for studentsmajoring in electrical, computer, and multidisciplinary engineering. It also counts as a technicalelective for Computer Science and Aerospace Engineering majors.When the decision was made to co-teach the two courses, it was also agreed that students wouldreceive separate credits and grades for each course to fulfill their graduation requirements.

– there are two types of decisions to be made here. First, students should consider whether they want to work for a company focused on defense or commercial customers. It is likely that most students never address this issue; they just want an interesting job that pays well. There is a second, less obvious, issue buried in this decision that all students should address: high reliability/mission critical vs commercial (consumer). High reliability engineering encompasses, in addition to military applications, aerospace, automotive, medical and others where life safety is paramount. For many engineers, this is rarely an either/or choice but mostly a both/and
