Using PPBL as a teaching and learning strategyfacilitates cooperative learning, critical thinking, systemic reasoning, creative approach, andsocietal awareness, which are the core values of sustainability. However, translating this into aworking curriculum is quite complex, and raises implementation issues such as physicalarrangements for an active learning environment, changes in the assessment and grading system,providing both teachers and students with at least rudimentary knowledge of PPBL methods,achieving institutional support, etc. Another issue is the program-level decision of having a fulldedicated course on sustainable engineering, or introducing modules on

The essence of these projects is necessarily a component oftechnological literacy as defined here.Bingham recommended that there should be more science qualified civil servants at all levels,and that some experience of industry should be mandatory.But as section 4 illustrated research on engineers in organizations shows that the ability tochange is a function of organisational structure, and that it is possible to make closed systemsless closed.The sixth section argues the case for technological literacy as conceived here is an

Engineers: The Promise of Theoretically Informed Empirical ResearchTheoretically informed empirical research on the behaviors needed in the workplace hasgenerated actionable insights that can inform engineering pedagogy. Here we give two examplesof large research projects that gathered rich ethnographic data, through interviewing andobserving engineering practitioners in workplace settings, and used theoretical frameworks fromthe humanities and social sciences to describe those behaviors in terms that connect them todisciplinary knowledge and make it clearer how they can be developed in classrooms andcourses.In “Value Creation in the Engineering Enterprise: An Educational Perspective,” Trevelyan andWilliams (2018) report on research and analysis

Everyaccrediting body and professional society advocates for the development of lifelong learners[26]. As one example, the American Society of Civil Engineers Body of Knowledge argues forlifelong learning skills to develop through “undergraduate education and mentoring experiences”[7]. During college, students should engage in “independent study projects and open-endedproblems” with the goal of pushing beyond the presentations of their instructors [7].

These modes are not all together distinct as will be seen by considering anexample. A course in fluid mechanics will present theory related to pumps and flow in pipes.Learning is often evaluated by analytical problems with one correct solution. On the other hand,a design project may use the same ideas in the service of creating a drinking-water system, or afire-fighting robot. Such projects have many possible solutions and involve criteria

We created our section with the intent to teach students theimportance of engaging with publics and communities as part of the engineering design process.While such engagement is increasingly becoming the norm for the design of smaller, and lesscomplex systems, the designers of complex sociotechnical systems – transportation and energysystems being two key examples – seldom engage with communities during the process oftechnology development. This is especially the case for energy technologies and facilities. Thesesystems have but a handful of ‘users’ in the

He conducted qualitativeresearch with interviews and analyses of motivations for alumni giving in higher education andconsidered what of those drives might be significant for future general AI.

The first national laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory, cites its establishmentin 1946 as having the goal to perform “cooperative research in nucleonics”, another term used todescribe the field of ‘nuclear engineering’ or ‘atomic energy’ [9]. This time period was markedby specific

While there has been muchdiscussion of other aspects of engineering education, including the incorporation into thecurriculum of more “soft-skills”, class delivery modes, and capstone design project requirements,there has not been much discussion of the appropriate role for technical electives. This issomewhat surprising considering the desire of many programs and universities to reduce thenumber of credits required for an engineering degree in an effort to increase graduation rates,reduce time-to-graduation, and decrease student debt loads. With this in mind, the primarypurpose of this paper is to prompt discussion of the purpose of technical electives

Not uncommon in this group are introduction to engineering courses that are open to students not majoring in engineering [1]. • Technological Impacts, Assessment, and History Courses: These courses emphasize the relation between technology and culture, society, history.

It is identified that in a unit, infographics are notrepresented as a mere unit only, but they are further encompassed with the projects andassignments in the following units [21]. Infographics in assessments can further be expanded topromote the deeper transfer of skills to the other courses. For instance, pre-service science teachersmay be required to embody infographics in their microteaching activities. Another course-basedapproach would be to devise specific courses on infographics and, after fulfilling prerequisites,encourage all the teachers to take them. So, in this way, both the senior and future candidates inthe program of study can benefit from advancements, regardless of
