intervention:Traditionally, engineering has been viewed purely as a technical problem-solvingdiscipline [11], pushing engineers into the real world with a “one-size-fits-all” approach.Consequently, advanced technological solutions to problems around the world are beingcarried out with little understanding of the solution’s local economic, social, and/orenvironmental impacts. To bring about social justice and sustainability throughengineering solutions, values and ethics must be at the forefront of current engineeringcurricula. A socio-technical project-based learning model is implemented in this course[12] with contextualized design problems. Various sustainability-themed activities areassigned to engage students throughout the course. The lab activities in the

education pipeline, the scope of this paperfocuses on an undergraduate class early in the curriculum, which is an important time framewhere women are more likely than men to leave the engineering track [3], [12]. The aim of thisstudy is to analyze several variables within an engineering curriculum where gender differencesexist: spatial visualization ability, performance in introductory engineering graphics courses, andwork-ethic with respect to classroom tasks, within the context of self-efficacy and persistence inengineering. Understanding the factors related to the gender gap in engineering is an importantfirst step toward future studies of targeted interventions to better meet the pedagogical needs of amore diverse student population.It has been

A good avenue for practicing and assessing soft skills within aspecific technology degree is through group projects, critiques, discussions and “real-world”projects, including issues of ethics, and allowing students to practice critical thinking, problemsolving, creativity, and communication skills.Evaluating Aesthetic Expertise; another level to assessment of rapidly changing technologyThe need for creativity and professional aesthetic competence is prominent in ComputerGraphics and should be addressed and built upon in each sequential course.

It is worth noting that there is a freeform tool in SolidWorksand theoretically a freeform approach can be taken but Inventor Fusion was deemed moresuitable for the task due to its more organic approach.MethodologyThe study was conducted using a group of Product Design students during their third year ofa four year undergraduate degree programme. Participation in the study was voluntary andanonymous. Ethics approval was acquired. Seventeen students completed all parts of thestudy. Students were randomly assigned participant numbers (using a shuffled deck ofnumbered playing cards). A questionnaire was given to each student at the

During the second semester, additional lectures on design for X, quality(including QFD, FMEA, Six Sigma, and robust engineering), data management, and ethics weregiven, with students refining and optimizing their design through further iterations as necessary,depending on the results of finite element analysis, prototype testing, and other investigations.Many students lacked an understanding of quality (not only as expressed in such tools as TQM,QFD, or Six Sigma, but also in producing quality work beyond meeting minimum requirements).The student teams had occasional homework assignments to

. The philosophy for the 1 point is that thestudent should receive some credit for at least making an effort to look at the problem. Class ParticipationWithout some motivator, many students will attend class and be passive participants in thelearning process. Attending class is another aspect of higher education where a student willexercise academic triage. Many of the students at University of Massachusetts Lowell are thefirst generation in their family to attend college and many have to work 20-40 hours a week tomeet their financial obligations for college and living costs. While these students have a verygood work ethic, they are all too often faced with making the choice among working, sleepingand attending class. Therefore, assigning

Although the students were allowed to meet the instructor and discuss theirmistakes during the office hours, they never received additional grades for such an extra effort.Though detailed records of these meetings were not kept, it was estimated that approximately40% of the students met the instructor more than two times for additional help outside theclassroom. In order to aid in the development of their spatial visualization skills, the feedback ontheir homework assignments were very detailed and the instructor provided them explanations ofthe areas where they needed to improve. In order to avoid any ethical conflicts, a pre-planned grading plan was formulated for thetwo classes. In the control class, the grading
and visual media • Evaluate images and their sources • Use images and visual media effectively • Design and create meaningful images and visual media • Understand many of the ethical, legal, social, and economic issues surrounding the creation and use of images and visual media, and access and use visual materials ethicallyAcross disciplines, students engage with images and visual materials throughout the course oftheir education. Although students are expected to understand, use, and create images inacademic work, they are not always prepared to do so. Scholarly work with images requiresresearch, interpretation, analysis, and evaluation skills specific to visual materials. These abilitiescannot be taken for granted and

In addition,various methods and pedagogies are available in literature incorporating sustainability in designeducation to enhance skills, awareness, learning in context, ethical responsibilities, synergy andco-creating principles8. 1.2 Standalone and integrationCurrently sustainability is taught more in some engineering disciplines such as environmental,chemical and civil engineering9, but since sustainability needs to be considered in every activitythat any engineer performs, it is imperative that all engineering students should have a strongbackground in sustainability, which makes it necessary to integrate
Undergraduate Student Administered SolidWorks ModuleIntroductionThe overall course goals of most first-year engineering design courses are to introducestudents to a design process through hands-on learning activities, to gain experience ingraphical communication using software such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks or Pro Engineer,and to inspire and instill an appreciation for the engineering profession, its ethics, andpractices. At Northeastern University where experiential education is at the forefront oflearning there is a common first-year curriculum for all majors in engineering. Thiscommon first year makes it difficult to provide the student with all the tools needed fortheir first cooperative educational experience (co-op). Students enter
