organization gave me the space to speakbravely and freely about my experiences in engineering to other students who empathized withme as they had similar experiences. It was validating to be in a group with like-mindedindividuals who believed as engineers we are not excused from ethics and social issues, butrather need to be accountable for our language and actions that affect others that aren’t includedin the dominant narrative.While creating a space for open dialogues for underrepresented students, The EE diversityProject also provided space for community and inclusiveness. The organization has put onseveral events in hopes of creating community for other students, and to hopefully prevent thatsense of Isolation. Some of those events include a

modern engineering profession is built on constantly dealing with decisionmaking based on inadequate data from unreliable sources, ambiguity and continuous shifting ofthe project objectives, and challenging demands from all stake holders including governmentagencies, interest groups and general public. Many research studies have been based on datacollected from industries to determinethe hands-on technical and inter-personal skills required ofengineers(e.g. [1], [2]). Analysis of data has highlighted some key shortcomings of engineeringstudents with respect to requirements of professional careers. Areas for improvement includecommunication and teamwork skills, awareness of ethical, social, environmental and economicissues, and application of
veteran hiring as more charity than thestrategic boon that it is: 2) “I have worked as a recruiter that hired strictly veterans for manufacturing roles and have also been with two software companies that targeted veterans. I am also a veteran myself. I think the biggest challenge I've seen is convincing hiring managers to hire for soft skills (i.e. leadership, work ethic, etc.) when they're used to hiring for specific experience. Mentorship is also huge in the military. I was very used to my superior officers mentoring me, giving me books to read, always developing me professionally. I've personally had a lot of veterans voice their disappointment because they come to

Professional responsibility is modeledand practiced throughout as timeliness, respect, appropriate dress, appropriate language are allmade explicit with continuous feedback coming from faculty and staff. Teamwork skills areprovided in seminars and practiced in design teams. Multiple workshops per week address topicssuch as: inclusion, ethical action, leadership, reflection, management, happiness, life-workbalance, overcoming adversity, and communication. Each week during the EDP students writethree one-page learning journal entries, most of

To realize such goals, especially for the education of Millennials and Generation Z,faculty need to have deeper understanding of “our” students. The characteristics of Generation Zmay include that they are the most diverse generation, grew up with smart devices, demonstratemore current online behaviors, expect modern experience but take tech for granted, are morelikely to try and figure out problems on their own first, etc. [1-5]. Such understanding will enablefaculty to develop more confidence

, generalrecommendations include courses that are tied to the attainment of student outcomes (continuousimprovement criterion), courses that are related to meeting curricular requirements such asprofessional and ethical responsibilities (curricular criteria), and courses that demonstratecompliance with discipline-specific expectations (program criteria). Thus, it is likely you willneed to provide samples of student work related to assessment performance indicators (sorted bystudent outcome) as well as samples of student work that document inclusion of discipline-specific topics (sorted by course). Most accreditation bodies do not have requirementsassociated with the format of student work samples (electronic versus paper). However, carefulorganization is

The first week at UniversityPark included an arrival weekend orientation with a program information session, group icebreakers, campus scavenger hunt and a half day leadership challenge workshop at a nearbyuniversity recreational facility. During the weekdays, the participants met daily for 1.5 hourswith research program staff for professional development workshops (e.g., safety training,research ethics, communication skills, etc.) and laboratory tours

Students can elect to take1, 2, or 3 credits of research each semester. Developing a concrete grading scheme that is both effective and efficient has long been adifficult task. To combat this problem, the co-author has implemented a specifications gradingapproach during the last three semesters (starting in Fall 2018). The defined specifications aremade up of two components: deliverables and hours of effort. The deliverables are comprised of mandatory university safety trainings to gain access tothe lab, responsible conduct of research training, educational and skills modules, reflections,planning

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
attendance, and offering research opportunity in thesummer or semester. The research experiences have helped attract more female and minoritystudents to mechanical engineering, expand scholars’ skill base, and provide successful paths forgraduate study [5-11]. Another successful component of the program is on community buildingtailored for commuting students, including an annual retreat, lunch with faculty members,workshops providing academic and professional development support. Since its inception in 2009, the program has supported more than 110 undergraduatestudents with diverse ethical and economic backgrounds. The program has achieved a retentionrate of 89% in the ME program. Among the 75 ME-STEM scholars who graduated, 32% arepursuing
employment demands for this dynamic field.2.3. Employability Skills.Employability skills include non-technical and workplace skills and are often just as important astechnical skills [8-10]. Engineering employers have ranked skills such as teamwork,communication, analytical skills, self-confidence, flexibility, customer orientation, and self-organization as highly valuable employability skills [11]. Workplace skills can be grouped intotwo categories: 1) personal qualities, such as adaptability, attention to detail, commitment,cooperation; and 2) core skills, such listening, ethical soundness, information retrieval,interpersonal skills, leadership, and teamwork) [11]. Although employability skills are desiredfrom engineering and engineering

For example, Liu’s qualitative research towards industry and communityorganization professional staff identified lots of expected employable skills should betrained through capstone design to help students transform from school to workplacesmoothly, such as interpersonal skill, project management skills, feedback and presentationskills. What’s more, professional ethics, global awareness, and civic responsibility werealso emphasized [4].
