American Society for Engineering Education, 2019An Advanced Teaching Methodology to Improve Student Learning Outcomes in Core Discipline Content and Soft Skills AbstractThe research paper addresses the existing gap between employers’ expectations and thecompetencies of college graduates. According to recent reports, there is an increasing need toadopt new methodologies in teaching to help students improve their career readiness.Contemporary requirements to engineering workforce, besides the core discipline skills, includeproficiency in complex open-ended problem solving, interdisciplinary collaboration, andmanagement and leadership skills.The proposed methodology is based on a role-play

applied Voice ofCustomer to engage students and faculty to identify the pilot program’s requirements. They usedthe lean six sigma process design tools and root cause analysis to identify the critical tosatisfaction characteristics and the factors that will positively impact success of the mentoringprogram. This is a work in progress and constitutes the first step in designing and piloting anengineering mentoring program. The program will be piloted in Fall 2019, based on the findingsfrom the Lean Six Sigma project. This program will provide mentorship to women engineersthroughout their college career as well as support them for a career in engineering in theworkplace.Key words: Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, STEM, Women

-on experience in capstone design courses has on studentsduring their transition to the workforce and early careers. Student surveys were conducted toquantify the impact of semester-long projects. Student responses from the LSS and non-LSScapstone courses were analyzed. Our findings show that collaborative LSS capstone projectshelp students gain a better understanding of how to apply the theory to practical situations whilepreparing them to approach and solve problems in real-world settings confidently. We also foundthat the LSS green belt certification helped recent graduates to transition to the workforce moreeasily, gain more credibility among co-workers and supervisors and make contributions quickerthan other new hires, get the job they

Additional insight into broader student performance indicators was accomplished bycomparing post-test results with embedded indicator data, which is collected annually, evaluatedagainst department standards and used in department assessment of student outcomes.IntroductionInclusion of engineering management within the curriculum provides beneficial learningexperiences for undergraduate engineering students including expanded professional skills,preparation for successful careers, and bridging of competency gaps [1]. Development ofprofessional and leadership skills has been shown to progressively improve through the collegeexperience, when included as part of the curriculum [2

career engineers to experienced engineering leaders. Someglobal technical organizations go to extraordinary lengths to develop working environments thathone the creative skills of their employees, while an increasing number of academic institutionsstrive to deliver curricula focused on creativity from a variety of perspectives. Despite these efforts,engineering professionals and academics continue to debate the best ways to embed and facilitatecreativity in engineering programs. In this exploratory study, we investigated how engineeringstudents perceive creativity and whether we could positively influence their acceptance ofcreativity as part of their leadership development. We analyzed a sample of graduate-levelengineering students’ perceptions

Engineering Education, 2019 Evaluating the Impact of Ethics Instruction on Student AwarenessAbstractEngineers must frequently make decisions during their careers without understanding orknowing the full set of consequences. These decisions can have unintended or harmful results.Therefore, it is imperative that engineers consider the ethical dimensions of their decisions whileworking to satisfy their employer’s interests even if these decisions conflict with theirorganization’s objectives or their own goals. Engineers have a responsibility to uphold a level ofethical standards that produces trust in not only their organization but also in their profession.Students entering the workforce must reflect the same level of ethical standards

He is an Affiliate Researcher at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA, focusing on the energy efficiency of IT Equipment in a Data Centers. As a means of promoting student- centric learning, Prof. Radhakrishnan has successfully introduced games in to his sustainability classes where students demonstrate the 3s of sustainability, namely, Environment, Economics and Equity, through games. Students learn about conservation (energy, water, waste, equity, etc.) through games and quan- tifying the results. He has published papers on this subject and presented them in conferences. Before his teaching career, he had a very successful corporate management career
