are four main attributeswithin this dimension: 1) The epistemological openness attribute captures the inclination of anengineer to “recognize and value the subjective experiences and perspectives of others as validand important source of knowledge” [1, p. 135]. Epistemological openness allows a researcher tocapture the thought process behind the various actions of an engineer. 2) The second attribute isthe micro to macro focus which informs the need for an engineer to consider the systems-levelimplications of their action along with the individual level implications. 3) The reflective valueawareness attribute covers the need for ethical and professional impact of an engineer’s action.The ability to reflect on their own values and improve

More senior professors areencouraged to lead this role. The ME department at the University of Florida (UF) in Gainesville iscomparable in size with that of the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez (UPRM) in the sense of boththe undergraduate student population as well as the faculty strength. Hence, some similarities can beobserved and inferred. Qualitative results of educational research in both the institutions suggestsatisfactory implementation of mentoring by the dedicated senior faculty members [5]. Also, in both theME
Organization’s Lisa Tabor Award for Community Service. Using deep insights from a fourteen-year industry career and her strengths as a systems thinker, she is now developing and disseminating empirically-grounded models and strategies for improved human competence, motivation, and learning as it relates to the civil engineering profession and the construction industry. She is a discipline-based education researcher who passionately pursues research to develop an agile, ethical, diverse construction workforce enabled to lead, design, and build sustainable, intelligent infrastructure. Her mission is to transform the construction workforce and sustain change. To this end, she undertakes research that enables her to influence

, and different workshops are offered to students on research ethics, the job market,fellowship programs at Cornell, and applying to graduate school. Students also attend a TED talksession where faculty talk about their current research interests.1.1. Choosing the Project:Based on the background and interest of the students our team looked for different projects and wecame across the project designed by Andy Grove on instructables.com. It is an open-source projectcalled “Ultrasonic Pi Piano with Gesture Controls!” [1] We treated this opportunity as a tinkeringchallenge. Grove’s project is a gesture-controlled piano that uses ultrasonic sensors to determinethe distance and to generate corresponding notes to each length. The goal was to have a
a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Texas at Dallas within the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science where she is studying retention of undergraduate engineering students. She has extensive experience using qualitative and mixed-methods research in Engineering Education. Before joining UTD in September 2020, Laura worked at the University of San Diego on their RED grant to study institutional change efforts and redefine the engineering canon as sociotechnical. She has a background in environmental engineering and received her Ph.D. in Engineering Education at Utah State University with a research focus on the ethical and career aspects of mentoring of science and engineering
scavenger hunt. We also provided lunch andgave freebies to students. The BSC mentors gave a presentation as the initial event for the first day of the orientation. Itwas designed to help incoming students succeed at our university. Throughout the presentation,the BSC mentors discussed different personal techniques used to succeed at UHCL, gainedthrough practical and personal experience. Apart from the main ethical and professional points ofavoiding cheating, laziness, and procrastination, we shared very specific tips for various courses.We believe that with this presentation, we were able to give the students an insight as to what lifeas a university student is like. They learned about their professors before meeting them, aboutwhat courses to take
success of the project. For example, Robert originally did not evaluate eachindividual’s strengths and instead assigned each person parts without a specific direction. Helater found that the roles had to be redistributed because group members did not know how to dotheir parts, so the tasks were then divided by strengths and were more successfully completed.Similarly, Stanley noted that when delegating tasks for their virtual team project, pairing teammembers with tasks that fit their major helped in keeping the project going smoothly by havingcomputer science majors complete the website and the mechanical engineering majors focus onproduct design and feasibility.

Here, at the University of Arizona, the ASEE chapterwas formed on an interdisciplinary model that includes a network of faculty, staff, and studentsfrom several disciplines across the university. The purpose of this cross-college, interdisciplinaryapproach is to promote engineering education at all levels. The mission of the ASEE Chapter atUniversity of Arizona are as follows: 1. To encourage collaboration between engineering undergraduate and graduate students through service, research, and professional development opportunities 2. To encourage and prepare engineering graduate students to pursue careers in academia 3. To increase awareness and understanding of societal, ethical, and public policy

This was done in two rounds to ensure proper alignment ofthe interview questions with the analytic framework described above.1 Active debate regarding the difficulty and ethics of conducting interviews across powerdifferentials, including race, gender and class, continues in scholarly discussions of interviewmethodologies [16-19]. O’Brien [17] argues that race-matching alone is insufficient inaccounting for the multiple layers of difference and power differentials that exist betweenresearcher and interviewee. Instead, she contends that the most important objective for theresearcher is instead to “activate” race by addressing it specifically, indicating to intervieweesthat it is acceptable to discuss race openly (p. 79).
