past several decades, there has been an increasing emphasis on the importance of engineerspossessing important professional skills, including global readiness or awareness. In 2004, theNational Academy of Engineering (NAE) described the Engineer of 2020 as being proficient in“interdisciplinary teams [with] globally diverse team members” (p. 55).1 As the NAE stated,“While certain basics of engineering will not change, the global economy and the way engineerswill work will reflect an ongoing evolution that began to gain momentum a decade ago.” (p. 4).Engineering graduates will be called to solve increasingly global problems and to work in teamsthat contain members who are either from international locations or are globally distributed.Across the

An engineeringeducation integrated with ethics as a way to make longer-lasting systemic change [13], [12].Incorporating experiences such as community outreach and guest speakers helps, in part, toframe an education in the ethical issues beyond the workplace [16]; however, this is just anextension, albeit a very valuable one, of the current education strategy. More recent papershave proposed game-based learning experiences, or ‘playful learning’ as a way for students toimmerse themselves in ethical issues and consider them from new perspectives [9], [8].

These two modules areinfluenced by the Framework for K-12 Science Education: Practices, Crosscutting Concepts,and Core Ideas [20] published by the National Resource Council in 2012. This frameworkprovides an approach to strengthen and diversify the STEM pipeline through three dimensions:core ideas, scientific and engineering practices, and cross-cutting concepts. This framework,which additionally calls to address lack of diversity in STEM by equalizing opportunities tolearn, serves as the basis of the NGSS [21]. We used this framework to drive the design of ourmodules. We report here on the development of the two

Recognizing the value of the work we have done on a smaller scaleand also the above, our university has, for instance, taken steps to begin to integrate this work ata programmatic level across the curriculum so that students have regular and repeated exposureto it. We have also, however, seen instances where this work does help privileged studentsbecome more aware of these processes and become able to recognize when they are happening.Such students then work to further understand and counteract the effects of stereotyping andbias, as one of our students writes: “As a white-passing male, I now feel obligated to learn moreabout the systems and

Additional subsequent weeks of data integration are necessary to differentiate between the threepossible framework explanations for faculty and cadet time relationships. In an 18-week semester,five or six weeks constitute a one-third slice of a continuous academic campaign including six-and ten-week grades reports (in the case of USMA), a significant quantity and diversity in gradedevents, course modules, extracurricular activities, and mandatory and optional beneficial furtheractivities.

In contrast to the didactic learning opportunities students encounter inschool, which follow a pre-existing curriculum and are tightly mediated by an instructor, situatedlearning opportunities are shaped by everyday practices and left largely to novices forinterpretation.

ways that impact their educational experiences, and shapes the choices and thecareer pathways that they take. It is also clear from this literature, some of which is cited below,that those choices are not always entirely of their own choosing.In this paper, we wish to present some preliminary results from a pilot study on studentperspectives about engineering education, and how students navigate through their owneducational transformation. What we provide in the paper is an early analysis of interview datagained from student interviews, where undergraduate URP/REU students interviewed otherstudents about their educational experiences. Our initial analysis suggests that student pathwaysare determined in largely interactionist terms, namely

It aimed to create pathways to college for high school juniors in South Jersey, focusing onfive select fields that included teacher education, music business, social services, computer scienceand engineering. The program exposed students to five career pathways, employed targetedstrategies to support underrepresented communities, and integrated social and emotional learning.This paper showcases the program's objectives, student participation, impact on South Jerseystudents, and

curriculum: at Tufts, students take the course(ES 4) in the fall semester of sophomore year and it forms part of their core conception of whatelectrical and computer engineering is. In general, their courses up to this point have been genericacross engineering, and many students see the course as a way to confirm whether an electrical orcomputer engineering major is right for them. As a result, we have both an opportunity and anobligation to inspire and motivate students in addition to helping them develop prerequisite skillsfor other courses.Digital logic labsAs at most universities, our offering of the course has a substantial laboratory component, wherestudents put in the hard (and rewarding) work of translating pencil-and-paper logic designs
from a Student Perspective?AbstractThis paper investigates student perceptions of the relationships between social media,engineering, and leadership. Participants in this study consisted of freshmen engineeringstudents enrolled in a first-semester introduction to engineering course at the University of SouthCarolina. A grounded theory approach was used, in which instructional activities and datacollection processes occurred concurrently, were guided by one another, and developed over thecourse of the study. The phrase “social media engineering leadership” is developed within thispaper to include social media mediated communication within an engineering leadership context.The results of this study suggest that social media engineering

This was our firsttime offering a course with this combination of disciplines (and hence has no feedback from agroup of external stakeholders). As an update, we have, since the submission of the abstract,offered this course twice. However, it was offered to only engineering students, and with aplatform-independent app development methodology. Feedback from all students convinced usto seek a simpler and better integrated app development process. We now feel comfortable inoffering full-fledged transdisciplinary courses in spring 2018, at which time formativeevaluation will be undertaken (see the discussion section). We document our efforts at formativeevaluation in another paper
