EM’s integration into the engineering curriculum are that itreinforces technical concepts (especially in design-related topics), helps promote greaterinclusion within the profession, and develops a mindset oriented towards problem-solving,empathy, creativity, and valuing the expertise of others. 10 The KEEN Framework’s“mindset+skillset” approach presents EM as a competency geared towards graduates creatingvalue for their organizations and communities in successful and rewarding engineering careers. 9To succinctly put it, EM is CBE.KEEN’s approach also benefits the development of computing professionals. Researchinvestigating the EM of engineering and computer science students did not report any differencesbetween these two groups.11 The

programming course (e.g. C, C++ orMATLAB) is common in the electrical engineering (EE) curriculum at the freshman or sophomorelevel. Therefore, the developed modules will not only benefit CE or CS students, but also EEstudents in learning the fundamentals of cybersecurity concepts in programming. In this work-in-progress paper, we present the design, formatting, and structure of the modulesthat we developed. The topic for each module is discussed detailing how the vulnerability isexposed to the student, and how we approached a solution. Finally, future work is discussed as weplan to dive further into the subject of integrating cybersecurity in undergraduate curricula.2.

call to integrate and promote engineering-oriented education throughout PK-12 schooling for all students, including those classified as EnglishLearners (ELs). To date, however, there has been little research on effective ways to support PK-12teachers — usually with little background knowledge and experience in engineering themselves. Studieshave mostly highlighted successful ways in which teachers overcome challenges when implementingengineering into their classrooms or the curriculum rather than diving deeper into institutional challengesthat teachers face during this process [1-5]. Some of these strategies include incorporating newengineering design activities [1], supplementing instruction through summer programs [2, 3], or learningabout

ExperiencesIntroductionThe unprecedented effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have further pushed online learningdevelopment and have made distance learning an integral component of undergraduate education[1]-[3]. Although standard lectures have transitioned to virtual space in a relatively seamlessmanner, laboratory components have presented a greater challenge [2]. Maintaining dynamic yetrelevant practical, hands-on learning experiences within a virtual platform has demonstrated mixedsuccess [4]. Since laboratory experiences remain a keystone to biomedical engineering (BME)education, it is critical to design curricular experiences that provide active, sensory, visual learningexperiences to maintain student engagement in the virtual space to promote cognitive

The cultivation of curiosity reframes the failure into ‘Openness to Failure’. c) Sense of Agency: In the literature, a Sense of Agency has been measured as both an individual construct and a group construct. The Sense of Agency, feeling in control of one’s own actions and having an influence on the outside world [21], [18], [22], motivationally translates into a sense of joint agency by developing shared intentions and actioning on them [23]. van der Wal, Sebanz and Knoblic [23] found that Joint Agency, while

Any academic institution can enhance its undergraduate curriculum by promoting research to those who show an interest but who might not otherwise know how to get involved.”Russell et al.

based learning as partof the curriculum. From the first year introductory engineering course to senior capstone,design/build/test projects and hands on lab experiences have always played an integral part in thecourse curriculum [1]. However, during the ABET assessment retreats of 2012 and 2013, apossible area of improvement was identified. During the retreat, employer surveys from co-opsupervisors [2] and surveys from recent alumni [3] were evaluated. The surveys identified thatsome students lacked a complete understanding of machining methods and how they influenceengineering design. In addition, students were not always able to demonstrate how machiningtolerances should be correctly applied to insure quality and reduce production cost

Work, management and social science scholar Daniel Pink proposes thatempathy is one of six qualities vital to future global success [8]. The increased appreciation ofsocial issues that accompanies expanded empathy gives greater insight into things like socialinequality and discrimination [9].

This study has two objectives: (1) toexplore the attitudes and beliefs of civil engineering students towards data science and (2) topropose pedagogical activities aimed at integrating data science into undergraduate civilengineering courses. Toward the first objective, an instrument was developed using itemsadapted from the Computing Attitudes Survey (CAS) and the Engineering ProfessionalResponsibility Assessment (EPRA). The survey was administered to civil engineering students,with responses received primarily from senior-level students. An exploratory factor

This content had tobe covered exclusively in lecture, created an ongoing tension between use of class time forcontent delivery versus working interactively with students. A second factor was thestewardship of the course. Most of our core courses have a 3-4 year instructor turnover, and aretaught by research-active faculty who do not conduct education research as a scholarly activity.Thus the activation barrier to flipping a class is prohibitive for most of our faculty.

SAhas value in the classroom due to the learning benefits and skills it promotes, includingmetacognition and self-efficacy, while providing the student with a chance to reflect on their ownwork.
