Manufacturing Systems Engineering program at the University of St. Thomas. We use results of the leadership courses to demonstrate compliance with several of the program outcomes. The EAC of ABET requires that engineering programs must demonstrate the fulfillment of a set of criteria. One of those criteria, Criterion 3 Program Outcomes, requires that engineering programs must demonstrate that their students attain eleven outcomes, often referred to as „a-k‟. The six specific outcomes that the leadership courses address are: d) an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams f) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility g) an ability to communicate effectively h) the broad education necessary to

To define the attributes of engineering Ph.D.s and to identify Page 22.267.4strategies to help engineering Ph.D.s to acquire expected skills, researchers conducted semi-structured interviews with industry and academic professionals in engineering fields. Resultswere analyzed from four questions (two about attributes and two about strategies). The researchteam

Students will be able to identify and define professional and ethical norms that pertain to the writing of a literature review.The CT template below is used in Course 1 to guide students in critical reading of a single paper.It is used as a basis for several intermediate writing assignments that guide students as they findand evaluate literature [6]. An initial assignment is to fill out Part I of the template; that isstudents must first state the broad scientific, technological, or societal drivers and significance oftheir work. Next they articulate the specific goals, objectives, or research question to beaddressed in their work. Typically two or three rewrites of Part I
demands of highly technical curriculum, the syllabi, projects andlearning activities often include little if any information about the concept of academic integrity.It is ironic to note that cheating is related directly to concepts found within the National Societyof Professional Engineers Code of Ethics, where it states: Section III. Professional Obligations.Item 9. a. “Engineers shall, whenever possible, name the person or persons who may beindividually responsible for designs, inventions, writings, or other accomplishments”[19](emphasis added).In addition, many industries who hire engineers also place a high value of intellectual property,such as reported in Duke University’s Engineering Management Blog, which states that “Thevalue of a frim

covers research tools that these students will needincluding: conducting reviews of technical papers, annotating technical papers, conducting aliterature search, creating bibliographical citations, interviewing prospective faculty thesisadvisors, ethics in engineering research, understanding the societal context of their research, andcommunicating research results, among others. After interviewing faculty, students decide on athesis advisor and topic area. The main deliverable of the course is a preliminary thesis proposalconsisting of an abstract, literature search, statement of work, and a timeline to complete theirprogram. The evolution and development of the course, and experiences with students will bediscussed in this paper, along with

baccalaureate represents for the engineer entering theprofession a challenge to continue the educational process. At the same time, it is an oldparadigm based on an understanding of the educational process in general.Practicing engineers perform at the highest levels of creativity. Consequently, professionaleducation for practicing professional engineers must be focused on the highest categories of thecognitive domain in the taxonomy of educational objectives as shown in Figure 1.1,2,4 Inaddition; it must include important areas such as ethics, team building, and effectivemanagement of professionals that clearly fall within affective domain in the taxonomy ofeducational objectives. Further, because technologies change so rapidly, the educational

At the endof the semester, each student would present his/her proposal to the fellow graduate students whowould act as the members of the examining committee. The author would compile theirfeedback, as well as his own observation, and share it with the presenter. A sample of proposalevaluation form is shown in Appendix A.The course contents and activities were designed to help students develop their proposal.

“thecriteria for knowing”7. Prior findings suggest that cognitive and metacognitive processes emergein young children and remain active throughout their life spans, whereas Epistemic Cognitionbegins to develop in late adolescence and continues to shift in the adult years7-8. In the context ofsolving ill-structured problems, Kitchener stated that, while Metacognition allowed one tochoose different cognitive strategies for the purpose of tackling a specific task, EpistemicCognition allows one to “interpret the nature of a problem and to define the limits of any strategyto solving it” (p. 226). Epistemic Cognition provides the foundation for adults by which theymay deal with conflicting ideas in issues like logic, ethical choice, or career choice

“design under constraint”. And, in this creative process, as Simon Ramo notes, engineers use the ‘systems approach’. 12 In essence, the engineering ethic and mission for purposeful innovation and improvement of the human condition in bringing about effective solutions through planned, creative problem-solving and responsible leadership in deliberately conceptualizing, developing and innovating new and improved technology as solutions to real-world, meaningful needs of people and industry is the driving force of the creative practice of engineering for technology innovation. Basic research is often used to gain a better understanding of phenomena involved in the engineering project, but contrary to conventional wisdom, basic

Preparing theFuture Professoriate, taught by Dean DePauw, provides students with context and fundamentalknowledge of modern issues they may face as a future faculty member in the United States orabroad. The semester begins with discussions about the structure of the university and facultyresponsibilities within the university. The remainder of the semester gives an overview of highereducation, including topics such as shifting student demographics, diversity and inclusion, theimpact of technology in the classroom, ethical standards in research, and paradigm shifts ineducation and university policy.

Examples of the modules include: ₋ Year 1: time management, success in graduate school ₋ Year 2: responsible conduct of research, data management, teamwork, ethics, mentoring, oral presentations, writing conference abstracts ₋ Year 3: writing academic papers, effective graphics for presentations, networking, responding to reviews, having difficult conversations ₋ Year 4
Elements of the cross-college program include revolving leadership and multi-disciplinary teaming roles in satisfying pre-, peri-, and post-trip project deliverables.Students are required to incorporate realistic limitations such as technical, economic,sustainability, environmental, cultural, ethical, and social constraints and on-siteprocurement, project management, and implementation into the project scope.

I was asked to update the testing manual for the new product line, to be released in early 2018, and generated over 5,000 test cases during the three month summer internship.
