, economy, and environment and graduate with thefoundation and technical skills supported by systems thinking, multidisciplinary training, andpractical engineering application to confront the challenges found in modern engineering practice[8].Based on data from our previous work with on measuring literacy in sustainable engineering andthe development and results of one teaching module, we proposed the creation of a course at theundergraduate level designed to help students develop sustainable thinking in engineering [9]. Thekey feature of introducing this course early in the curriculum is to ensure that the students aretrained in integration sustainability in their thinking which will help integrate sustainableengineering into whichever discipline

conference, we discussed how an art museum on thecampus of Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) worked with professors in engineeringand humanities/communication disciplines to incorporate art into the engineering curriculum. Insummer 2019 we conducted IRB-approved research into student engagement with public artsurrounding our urban campus. A walking tour of the sculptures was followed by a focus groupdiscussion in which student participants explored how art might intersect with their engineeringcourse work and how art could be integrated on campus to further reinforce connections betweenengineering and aesthetics.Our paper for this year’s conference reports on progress made to date, summarizing our summer2019 research findings together with the

worldexperience. Several authors [10, 11] discussed ways of introducing sustainability in theengineering curriculum. Although sustainability can be a standalone course, there are somepractical ways to thoroughly introduce sustainability (environmental, social, economic) in aconstruction engineering course. For example, including in the course a module withconstruction case studies, where students are asked to follow the principles of Envision [12]and/or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) [13] and adopt the moresustainable construction solutions.Building a Construction CourseIn this section, general guidelines are presented for building an undergraduate constructioncourse for civil engineers, when the curriculum does not allow for

majors in the industrial setting, were reported. Arduino has beenwidely used for teaching junior and senior level controls [3]-[9] and microprocessor courses [10],computer engineering capstone projects [11], and communication systems courses [12].Arduino has also been widely used in lower-division courses. For freshman engineering students,Arduino was used as a platform to teach programming, design, and measurement [13]. In thiswork, the authors transited the Living with the LAB curriculum, which used the Boe-Bot mobilerobotics and the Basic Stamp microcontroller, to the Arduino platform. In [14], Sullivan et al. usedArduino in an Introduction to Mechanical Engineering course where freshman students designedand implemented a cornerstone project

objectives that are unique and personalizedwhile also contributing to their team’s innovation project. With such diversity of student work,applying a single grading rubric is impractical. Another problem occurs in evaluating theinnovation itself. How can instructors consistently rank the novelty and value of such diversestudent work? To tackle these problems, a grading scheme that involves multiple expertassessments of both the value and the impact of a student’s innovation needed to be developed.This work presents and describes the development of the Innovative Impact Scale and how it hasbeen integrated alongside Webb’s Depth of Knowledge levels as metrics to assess the innovativelearning outcomes of students enrolled in an IBL course.

Business memos have been found to be one of the documents that engineering employers encourage to assess along industry and academic guidelines when students take technical writing courses [12]. In this course, students prepare an engineering memo describing the results of an experiment in probability modeling. In this module, students complete an experiment testing expected values from binomially distributed data against individual trials of an experiment. Students synthesize their data

Another studyfocused on the specific experiences of Black women studying engineering at Predominantly WhiteInstitutions. Similarly, this study highlighted how Black women felt isolated, unable to form studygroups (an integral aspect of succeeding in engineering), subjected to microaggressions, while alsofeeling Hypervisible, highlighting the polarized experiences of Black women in engineering [14].Although there is growth in literature specifically focused on Black women’s engineeringexperiences

Through the story of theBadger project, students learned stewardship and responsibility.POST BADGER PROJECT STORY:All seniors were graduated in May 2020, and progress on the project stopped and seemed like itwould remain unfinished. However, last summer, one junior student worked as an intern tocontinue the integration supported by A&K Systems. Last December, a member of the Badgerbusiness team from the second year, who was an international exchange student fromLeTourneau University, contacted the faculty to address the interest to participate the ‘startup’contest as part of LeTourneau University’s curriculum. The student presented the pitch on thebehalf of Badger team and received

Professional identity development is the processof “becoming” a practitioner, including the reconciliation of professional identity with one’sother identities (such as gender and cultural identification). An effective path towardassimilating a professional identity is participation in the STEM community and in theperformance of work that is authentic to professional practice.All engineering students and many other STEM majors at Montgomery College take a freshmanlevel course called “Introduction to Engineering Design.” Like similar courses in virtually everyengineering curriculum, this course features development of fluency in engineering vocabulary,an introduction to some of the technology tools of

Three phases of review were conducted with emphasis on multidisciplinary programs,multidisciplinary approaches, and multidisciplinary capstone, separately. The results reveal an increasing trendin the development of multidisciplinary engineering programs, the significant role of capstone projects infacilitating multidisciplinary engineering education, including integrated and real-world trends inmultidisciplinary capstone experiences. In addition, there are gaps in the literature that required more insightsregarding non-accredited programs, student outcomes

responsibilities effectively and had to sacrificelearning goals to some extent.Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology (ECET) – Challenges and Solution Typically, the main difference between a pure engineering program versus an engineeringtechnology program lies in the courses' hands-on portion. Thus, almost every course has thelaboratory portion integrated in the course curriculum. Due to the stay-at-home order, theuniversity suspended face-to-face instruction and moved completely online for Spring 2020 andSummer 2020 semesters. This affected the ECET courses to the max due to the lab portions of thecourses. The university resort back to a hybrid model in Fall 2020 and Spring 2021, where thelectures will be synchronous via zoom and labs

Computer Programming Skills to Engineering Students Using Mekin2D Modular Kinematics SubroutinesAbstractComputer programing is a fundamental discipline taught early in the curriculum to allundergraduate engineering majors. Fewer opportunities exist however for students to practicetheir programing skills before they graduate. In this paper, a number of computer programingexercises on planar mechanism kinematic simulation given to Mechanical Engineering studentsat Texas A&M University Corpus Christi are presented. Students are instructed on how todownload the MeKin2D subroutines and the Free Pascal Integrated Development Environment(IDE) on their computer. Then they perform, as homework assignments, three exercises usingthese
