Page 23.409.2IntroductionEnsuring that students learn the requisite fundamentals of engineering and its mathematical andscientific underpinnings is a daunting challenge; however, students benefit from theincorporation of other skills and a deeper understanding of the professional environment into thefull curriculum. Such benefits spurred the Engineering Accreditation Commission of theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) to develop an outcomes-basedaccreditation initiative called Engineering Criteria 20001 (EC2000). One of the EC 2000 criteria(Criterion 3 under “Program Outcomes and Assessment”) is the necessity for engineeringgraduates to demonstrate the ability to communicate effectively.While considered progressive and

aresponsibility to expose students to the importance of ethics and consciousness in their decisionand design making process. The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)reinforces the need for teaching ethics in engineering programs with the inclusion of learningoutcomes that address ethics. The new ABET Outcome 4 requires students have “An ability torecognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informedjudgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic,environmental, and societal contexts” [1]. One method of teaching about ethics in engineering isto use case-studies of engineering disasters where there was room for a different ethical decisionto be made. This
effective teaching method.The purpose of the paper is to stimulate discussion in this effective hybrid teaching technique forlarge engineering courses. We will describe student feedback and metrics by which theeffectiveness of this technique has been assessed, and give the reader explicit step-by-stepinstructions on how to use technology to implement such a system in other courses.1.0 The Pedagogy, Features, and Strategies of Skeleton Notes“Skeleton Notes” are partially completed handouts that are completed during class by theinstructor and the students.

requirements and ethical expectationsSkills: • Apply basic engineering tools such as statistical analysis, computer models, design codes and standards, and project monitoring methods • Learn about, assess, and, as appropriate, master new technology to enhance individual and organizational effectiveness and efficiency • Communicate with technical and non-technical audiences, convincingly and with passion, via listening, speaking, writing, mathematics, and visuals • Collaborate on intra-disciplinary, cross-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary traditional and virtual teams • Manage tasks, projects, and programs so as to provide expected deliverables while satisfying budget, schedule, and other
and historical awareness, and traditions that serve to make engineers competent to address the world’s complex and changing challenges. • We aspire to engineers who will remain well grounded in the basics of mathematics and science, and who will expand their vision of design through solid grounding in the humanities, social sciences, and economics. Emphasis on the creative process will allow more effective leadership in the development and application of next-generation technologies to problems of the future.The need for humanities and social sciences education for engineers is evident in each ofthese statements.

of the need for targeted faculty development in the implementation of active-learning methodologies to insure the method has the intended effect on student learning andengagement.Introduction:Teaching methods are known to affect student performance in a course. The meta-analysis of225 studies on active-learning by Freeman, et al [1] found students in STEM courses taught withextensive lecturing are 1.5 times more likely to fail, earn a D, or withdraw from the course thanstudents taught with active-learning methods in the same STEM course subject. A second meta-analysis of engineering and technology education journal articles confirmed that small-group andcollaborative learning pedagogies increased student performance by close to a half a

Hold professional conduct meetings: A special meeting category exists to promote meetings that focus on ethics and issues concerning professional licensure. Often real cases are discussed, issues engineers face in the real world on a continual basis, as well as requirements and expectations on
provided. However, in some curriculum,specifically engineering, a strong emphasis on active learning can be beneficial to students.To address this disconnect between delivery and student-learning, the flipped classroom teachingmethod has been gaining popularity. Additionally, reasonable technology is available to facilitatethis delivery method. The flipped classroom often takes lectures normally given during classtime and moves them outside of the classroom in the form of recorded videos or voice-overPowerPoint slides. The students watch the lecture on their own time and are able to pause,rewind, take notes, and re-watch the lectures as many times as is necessary to understand thematerial. These videos are usually accompanied by some kind of quiz
