From $99 billion in 2020 to almost $460billion in 2027. This is a global movement for improving the quality of life and tackling some ofthe most challenging issues such as climate change, by using information and communicationtechnology Universities have a critical role in growing implementation through training theworkforce with cutting-edge skills and knowledge and conducting
theirdisciplines. The EM Champions and mini-grant programs provided the necessary means andsupport to faculty members to integrate EML in their courses. However, the development offaculty members’ interest in and teaching skills related to EML were based on the broad array ofFD opportunities provided.Example 1: Sustainability, Ethics, and Professional PracticeSustainability, Ethics, and Professional Practice is a course that most engineering students takeduring the sophomore year or later at the University of New Haven. The course is divided into 14modules of which 10 focus on the different engineering aspects of sustainability. The course wasoriginally developed with a theoretical term project of greening the engineering building byreducing the energy
Workplace Work Structures and Performance Assessment – Students are introduced to concepts such as matrix organizations and the yearly performance appraisal process • Job Search and Interview Practices – Students gain practical skills necessary for a successful professional job search • Engineering Ethics in the Workplace – Students are introduced to engineering ethics as it is practiced in the workplace along with receiving training typical of employees at companies such as Lockheed Martin • Industry Design Practices – Approaches to solve design problems in the workplace are introduced • Team Management in Industry – Course makes extensive use of teams to approach design problems

The expectation wasthat students could benefit but at the same time, faculty would be motivated to initiate courses forentrepreneurship education that could be tailored to the needs of the students of
projects.In most engineering programs, the Introduction to engineering courses is offered based on disci-pline-specific contents. Introduction to engineering (EGGN-100) at California State University, Fullerton (CSUF),is offered to first-year and undecided engineering majors every fall semester. Besides theobjectives mentioned earlier, one of the primary goals of this PBL course is to “introduceundecided freshman engineering students to major projects in Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, andComputer Engineering projects so that students can make an informed choice about their major.”The course starts with an active introduction to the engineering profession, different engineeringdisciplines, engineering ethics, team building, and engineering
; Electrical Engineering and Computer Science; and Mechanical Engineering. Whilenot an exhaustive list of undergraduate majors offered by the COE, these four broad cohortsenabled the SBP to cover major areas of interest to participants.Engineering presentations by Texas A&M University-Kingsville faculty addressed introductoryengineering topics such as the design process, importance of math for engineers, use of computerprograms, professional registration and public safety, engineering ethics, and engineering careerpaths. These were distributed throughout the 3-week period. The organizing faculty decided thatworking or retired engineers from the community and alumni from the COE would be invited tospeak individually or as group panelists about

Addingsustainability tasks into their proposed designs encourages the students to think about the largerimpact of their projects. Consideration of sustainability within the undergraduate capstone designis linked to professional ethics for all civil engineers, as noted in the BOK3: “striving to complywith the

critically examine social issues and situate students within a community setting. CEL also enhances the engagement with a community to address and embodies ethical and effective service principles, which result in producing reciprocal benefits for students, faculty, and community partners. Thus, CEL is commonly connected to innovation, learning, and partnership and all these together make a better life. Through mutually beneficial partnerships within the community, students cultivate their identity as lifelong learners and active citizens. CEL promotes a culture of active and engaged learners by integrating opportunities for students to apply construction theories and knowledge through real-world experiences

First, participants were asked to follow typed instructions to set up the headset bythemselves, without any prior exposure. Their set-up time was recorded, and their comfort levelwas measured using a Likert scale from 1 to 10, where 1 was defined as “absolutely unbearable,I cannot wear the headset for any longer” and 10 was defined as “I could wear this all day

In the Job Outlook 2019 Survey, employers ranked critical thinking, oral and writtencommunication, teamwork and collaboration skills, and professionalism/work ethic as more thanessential competencies in new hires [3].

Only certain types of smartness are recognized as valid for or pertinentto being a “good fit” for engineering [4], typically those associated with analytical ability. Thisnarrow construction of smartness in engineering negates other aspects of ability that are alsoimportant in engineering such as ethical reasoning, judgement in the face of uncertainty, or theability to collaborate and communicate on multidisciplinary teams [5]. Further, the constructionof smartness as success in math and science courses reflects majority (White, male, middle-class,etc.) values.

In the early 1900s, scientific management was thepredominant approach to organizing work. It involved dissecting steps in production, and thencontinually optimizing these steps to maximize productivity. Beneath this approach were two core Proceedings of the 2021 ASEE Gulf-Southwest Annual Conference

These changeshave resulted from a decision to remove most of the course “content” and focus on a very“hands-on” approach (on the instructors’ part) to managing and encouraginginterdisciplinary teams working on interdisciplinary projects. Previously the courseintroduced a variety of design related topics: the design process, oral and writtencommunications, risk analysis, ISO 9000, engineering ethics, statistics, optimization,present value analysis, and neural networks.

To become competent professionals, engineering graduates need to work acrossdisciplinary boundaries and engage more meaningfully and holistically with the social world andsocial systems that embed engineering such as the diverse international, societal, and communityinterests, as well as the various political, economic, legal, ethical and commercial interests inwhich engineers

Each lab introduces a set of related topics thatbuild upon the material from previous labs. The labs used to be two weeks in length, allowing forflexibility in fitting with the students’ personal schedules, but we discovered that the flexibilityactually motivated procrastination. Instead, to encourage a strong work ethic, we shifted to aweekly schedule. The labs are gamified so that the next lab will not unlock unless a studentcompletes the prior lab first.
