So say I'm, trying to get them to do something from a G.C. side, or I'm trying to get them to do a specific project, they're quick to jump down your throat or quick to try and tell you no, before getting your side of things, so I have to be able to kind of on the
Paper ID #37395Measuring Academic Integrity Perceptions and theCorrelation with Ethical ReasoningMatthew G. Green (Associate Dean & Professor) Matthew Green serves as Associate Dean in the School of Engineering and Engineering Technology and Professor of Mechanical Engineering at LeTourneau University in Texas. His objective is to practice and promote engineering as a serving profession. He has taught and developed design courses for all undergraduate years, and has taught courses such as Dynamics, Thermodynamics, and Machine Design. Past projects include remote power generation, design methods for frontier

Although the courses are designed to replicate courses offered in thesemester (i.e., assign homework, group projects, and exams) the students do not receive creditfor the courses. Thereby, the SBP provides the space and time for students to grapple with thedifficulty of the academic subjects without penalty to their academic standing or grade pointaverages (GPAs). Throughout the program, students also participate in informational seminars presented byvarious offices on campus to understand the range of opportunities and

engineering education (EE) have played a significant role in thedevelopment of countries before, during, and since colonization [1]. Lucena & Schneider [1]remind us that while economic and political conditions may have differed across countries,engineers' primary goal during colonization was to transform nature into infrastructure to becontrolled, get a return on investments, and demonstrate superiority over indigenoustechnology. Across different colonizing powers, engineers filled a role in service to thecolonial project. Over time, as colonies became independent countries, engineering was - andstill is - considered an essential tool for helping these “traditional” societies on the path todevelopment [1]. In addition to engineering, formal
remind them that these objectives tie directly to whatyou will ask them to do on exams and projects and will drive how you weigh things in yourgrading rubrics. By doing this, you clarify to students why they are doing what they are doingand what to study. For example, when they ask, ‘What will be on this exam?’ you can say, ‘Thisexam will test you on objectives 4, 5, and 6.’ Using objectives as a study guide to studentsincreases the probability that students will learn the objectives[10]. Through this practice, youare not only clarifying how students prioritize their time for your course, but you are alsosimplifying and focusing your work in creating the assessments and activities. In addition, clearobjectives allow you to describe “intended

Vando summarized in his reflective presentation the number ofdifferent subtypes of clauses used across subsections of a journal article (e.g., Introduction,Literature Review). The predominant use of complement clauses in Introduction alone maynot mean much to a disciplinary writer, but complement clauses are most effective inconstructing an authorial stance to project personal viewpoint and attitude towards

Students who evaluate well can provide reflections on approaches taken to solve a problem and demonstrate their ability to assess underlying concepts in the process of choosing the best among multiple alternative solutions. ● Create: putting elements together to produce a new pattern or original work. In engineering, the previous levels of the taxonomy culminate to the design of a component or system that invokes all previous levels of the taxonomy. Such efforts to create are often stimulated in capstone design classes but can also be invoked in smaller projects in lower- level courses.Promoting the integration, design, and evaluation capabilities of students is
the use of higher-level cognitive skills in engineering problem solving. His research interests particularly focus on what prevents students from being able to integrate and extend the knowledge developed in specific courses in the core curriculum to the more complex, authentic problems and projects they face as professionals.

Based on current projections, it is estimated that by the year 2044, underrepresentedminorities (Black, Hispanic, LatinX and American Indian) will comprise over 50% of the overallpopulation in the U.S. However, underrepresented minority (URM) youth lag significantlybehind their white and Asian American counterparts in their interest in STEM. Lowerrepresentation of URMs in STEM can be attributed to a variety of factors including, a lack ofinstitutional commitment, a lack of representation throughout students’ upbringing, ineffectivecultural recruitment/outreach efforts, educational discrepancies throughout PK-12, and socialexpectations, among others.

Games can act as powerful learning tools that offerseveral benefits for learning including: developing professional identities [9], [32], providing asimulated project environment and context for learning professional skills and practices [9], [33]–[35], providing immediate and continuous feedback [7], [17], and inspiring new interests andenhancing motivations [10], [36], [37]. Much of the research in this area focuses on gamesdeveloped specifically for learning or educational contexts, often called serious games [38],although some work
.(2011, para. 3) concisely argue: technical writing is usually not the same as scholarly writing, and scholarly writing is required in most research-based writing projects, such as theses and directed projects. As opposed to being concise, to the point, or having the data speak for themselves, scholarly writing relies on analysis, synthesis, and logical construction of a proposition with appropriate support. Technical writing is generally designed primarily to transmit specific information, while scholarly writing is designed to underpin the creation of new knowledge.Thus, the way in which technical communication programs approach teaching writing—along with debates on whether or not technical writing

The researchers suggested the benefits of students interacting with students innon-engineering majors through these activities.Typologies of involvement. Student typologies provide an additional approach to investigatingthe distinct effects of involvement for different students [29], [67]–[71]. These approachesconsider student subcultures by classifying students according to common characteristics,including types of involvement [72]. Researchers have further linked student typologies todifferences in self-reported development [70]. Contradicting some previously discussed findings,these studies have
