The modelconnects Mejia et al.’s critical consciousness model [17], which engages Freire’s principles ofcritical pedagogy [18], with Hassan’s model of learning-assessment interactions [19]. “Mejia etal.’s model is represented in the center of this model, showing relationships between theory,action, reflection, and concepts of scholarship, praxis, concientização, and liberation that resultfrom their overlap. Hassan’s model of learning-assessment interactions is overlaid, with theoverlap taking the form of reflection as an assessment method and action as a learning method”[13
require to be proficient intechnological literacy? That is a central issue of this discussion.As a matter of policy in the 1980’s governments seem to have taken the view that it is amatter of the economic good that students should study technology in schools [15], and by1992 a World Council of Associations for Technology Education had been founded. Theconference proceedings associated with the founding of this organization, had the title“Technological Literacy, Competence and Innovation in Human Resource Development”[16].Yet, in this extensive report there are only two papers that mention technological literacy[17; 18]. Both authors are American; one, Michael Dyrenfurth is a member of ASEE. Hisdefinition was,“Technological literacy is a concept

The ideas we present here are part of a much larger thought process (Authors, 2021, in progress) in which we are thinking about the ways in which we use quantitative methods in engineering education, and how they might be better realigned or reformed to achieve the same diversity and equity outcomes we feel are more readily achieved by qualitative methods at the time. Our treatment and presentation of demographic data variables here represent a starting point. 1 The “doing” of engineering education is full of many delicate power

Furthermore, most instruction on sustainability, as reported in the literature, appears tofocus on teaching the engineering student to be an engineer who practices sustainabledevelopment rather than a consumer who has a role in sustainable practice. In part, thisemphasis on the engineer's role in sustainability is a result of the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET)'s mandate that engineering undergraduates complete theirdegrees having achieved student outcome (c): “...an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability

Li (2016) argues that Chineseengineering ethics faces a dual task: on the one hand, like developed countries, China’s rapidprogress in S&T research has raised critical ethical concerns centered on new technologies (suchas gene editing, artificial intelligence, etc.) that need to be confronted due to the domestic andinternational pressure; On the other hand, China is facing a complex transition from tradition tomodernity which is different from the Western experience. Neither the traditional ethical 3 principle such as Confucianism nor the Western ones is suitable for guiding Chinese engineers tothink
andorganizations in engineering education, with a view to governance structures. Then we offer amore in depth comparison of ABET’s development of Engineering Criteria 2000 (EC 2000) withthe current proposed revisions as they have unfolded. We seek to develop insights on the role ofgovernance in effecting change in engineering education, and specifically on historical changesin ABET’s processes for decision making and theories of change. These insights will point topossible interventions in governance structures to facilitate more inclusive participation in settingfuture directions for engineering education.IntroductionABET, Inc.’s proposed changes to Criteria 3 and 5 of the Engineering Accreditation Criteria,now in their third round of review and comment
is, students reported parent(s)/guardian(s) completed a “bachelor’sdegree” or “master’s degree or higher;” 20% (n2 = 596) were first-generation college students(FGCS), that is, students reported both parents/guardians obtained “less than a high schooldiploma,” “high school diploma/GED,” or “some college or associate/trade degree;” and 8% (n3 =228) did not report their parent’s educational background. Students that did not report parent’seducation level were eliminated from the study. First, we tested the internal consistency of thethree constructs in each of the subject-related identity measures (i.e., performance/competence,interest, and recognition). Analysis yielded Cronbach alpha values of α = 0.89 for physics interest,α = 0.89 for

The OPTIONS camp for boys is hosted as a day camp, not aresidential experience, on the university campus and includes many of the same components asthe programs for girls. Mentors and networking are not as heavily emphasized in the camp formiddle school boys; workshops with hands-on learning and industry tours are coordinated tointroduce the young men to the myriad of opportunities engineering presents.After 25 years of operation, the essential

These laboratoryprojects are not guided tutorials, forcing students to use the information that was presented duringlectures and in the project description to identify and implement the project solution(s). This isdesigned specifically to reinforce the theory and practice described in the lecture component ofthe course.For the semester project, each student is expected to undertake an investigation of a topic that haspiqued their interest. Occasionally, students are allowed to work in pairs if they have a compellingcase for doing so. It is not the intent that students are identifying new

engineeringeducation compelled them to rely on quantitative standards for accreditation. Although ABET’sEngineering Criteria 2000 (EC 2000) reforms during the mid-1990s specifically worked to moveaccreditation beyond quantitative standards, namely the old “bean counting” approach, the actualimplementation of EC 2000’s “a-k” learning outcomes at some institutions still wind up in theend affirming Seron and Silbey’s findings: the new learning outcomes were often interpreted as alist of requirements to be met, rather than the starting point for a set of institutionally-specificcriteria that would require greater use of professional judgment on the part of both programevaluators and the faculty from programs undergoing evaluation (ABET 2016; also Pool 2016).This
presentation: The final presentation is the last official schedule of the Program in the Netherlands.Students are supposed to present for twelve minutes. The presentation includes a problem statement,research question(s), methodology, and analysis if they have done any, research activities and progressmade while they were in the Netherlands, and the plan for research completion for three months beforesubmission. As mentioned earlier, students are required to finish their research work and submit areport and poster by the end of summer, August 31st (the research travel is completed at the end ofMay). In this sense, the final presentation is not for presenting their final results but it can be consideredas a follow-up of the second research progress

How are the characteristics of LTS faculty different from other engineering faculty? a. It is hypothesized that LTS faculty might be different than other engineering faculty, since differences have been found among the students who engage in LTS; for example, women might be over-represented among LTS faculty compared to engineering faculty overall. b. The demographic characteristics for LTS faculty were identified to answer research question 1. The characteristics for engineering faculty overall were taken
