discovering gaps in EM assessment tools? 3. How might we connect people to EM assessment tools that already exist?BackgroundEngineering faculty have been working to incorporate entrepreneurial mindset in curriculum formany years. Several efforts have been made by prior authors to summarize the existing literatureon assessment of EM. In an effort to find the appropriate tools for assessing entrepreneurialmindset, a systematic literature search resulted in a comprehensive listing of availableinstruments and surveys. Prior work by Grzybowski et al. had provided a preliminary structurecategory [2]. Each individual instrument or survey has multiple items listed including what isbeing assessed, any studies used to determine its
activities that are nottypically seen as “engineering” by engineering culture and curriculum (in opposition to acceptedactivities such as engineering club participation, engineering service, etc.), but that studentsidentify as connected to their goals in engineering. Examples of these activities could includestudents’ participation in competitive or recreational sports, artistic hobbies, and other leisure-based activities, though nearly any activity could be identified in this way by a student.Literature shows that students’ participation in on- and off-campus activities influence their senseof belonging and conceptions of themselves as engineers [1], [2]. Amongst these activities,students are exposed and integrated into cultures of engineering that

The program was implemented with flipped classroom andteam-based project instruction in mechanical design engineering classes with great success. Not only the knowledge of engineering standards is necessary, but educating studentson the real-world applications of engineering standards is crucial. Currently, standardseducation is lacking and not fully incorporated into the undergraduate mechanical engineeringcurriculum. So far researchers only mentioned Purdue University in the US as an example ofsuccessful integration of codes and standards education into

lack-of-belonging as the key issue. University remedies range from social eventsand student organization activities to academic-related growth opportunities and curriculumimprovements down to an individual course level. Mathematics skill building, particularly inengineering and engineering technology majors, is of paramount importance but often left to thestandard mathematics course sequence. This article presents a course-level approach that engagesstudents through solving engineering problems using mathematics in a more practical way. Theapproach is to (i) reveal common mathematical challenges arising in science and engineeringproblems from various fields; (ii) present the problem solution leading to a common mathematicsformulation (e.g., a
semester with the overall goal ofdecomposing the project into functional modules. In the spring modules are built and tested,integrated, iterated, then the project finally undergoes an acceptance test. While the V-model isintuitive for those with design experience, as a project management model it does not accuratelythe reflect the actual and iterative work of design so it needs to be implemented flexibly and withsignificant scaffolding.Because capstone courses can be very time-intensive for faculty, the instructors have developed asignificant amount of scaffolding over time using an action-based research approach [4] (seenext section). This has resulted in a “hands-off” approach where students have responsibility formost project decisions. While
techniques. A few reasons could explain the results. One, as the students spend a disproportionateamount of time using analytical solutions, they are more likely to recall instances where theirknowledge was limited. Conversely, good programming technique is not utilized heavily in thecore curriculum, so they do not have the chance to continuously struggle with new material, andthus have an inflated sense of knowledge concerning the material. Another reason could be that,it is possible that the coding-heavy nature of the course enabled the students to remember goodprogramming practices, and this is reflected in the subsequent semesters. The lowest self-rating was given to the question “I can code my own numerical solutionsto PDEs
, gas power cycles, and refrigeration cycles. Each cyclewas covered in an assignment. The assignment prompt was to analyze the cycles by hand usingsteam tables or ideal gas relationships and then to simulate the cycle using a commonly usedprocess simulator, Aspen Plus. This allowed students to compare their hand-calculated answerswith the Aspen simulation. Students were provided a comprehensive video tutorial in thebeginning of the semester to explain how to use the software. After evaluating the assignmentssubmitted by the students, it was found that students were proficient in the use of the software toanalyze basic and complex thermofluid cycles. By integrating software that is commonly used inindustry, students will be better prepared to
change the design landscape into a more inclusiveecosystem [1,2]. And the Design Justice principles can be a concrete set of guidelines that canhelp teach engineering students how to integrate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) practicesin their profession.Research shows [3], while typical engineering programs have plenty of design content, theconcepts of design justice are rarely taught. This paper talks about the experiences of introducingsome of the concepts of design justice into several undergraduate courses. It was done through acase study of a section of an interstate that was built in the 1950s cutting across a thrivingneighborhood that was eventually decimated. This case has been in recent news, since federalgovernment money is
connecting representations. Students also tend to focus on thesurface features instead of the underlying scientific principles.In chemical engineering, students are introduced to block flow diagrams (BFDs), a new type ofpictorial representation of a chemical process, early in the curriculum. For example, in thesophomore-level material and energy balances, often an initial exercise is to convert a wordproblem into a simple block flow diagram. The block flow diagram consists of a series of blocksrepresenting different equipment or unit operations that are connected by input and outputstreams. Important information such as operating temperatures, pressures, and flow rates areincluded in the diagram. However, the diagram does not include any details of
of the final project. Assuming that an individualworks well with the team, this should be reflected in the quality of the final presentation, finalreport, and the functionality of the final project. However, there are some cases where studentsdo well individually in projects 2 and 3 but fail to integrate their work into the final project. Thiscan be detected when there is no strong connection between the individual part and the finalproduct. 4. Peer evaluationsAt the end of the semester, students were required to evaluate their teammates using aquestionnaire that rated their peers in three categories: management, collaboration, andinclusivity. The rating structure was based on a scale of unsatisfactory (1/3 point), developing(2/3 points

Individual activities such as coloring or origami promote mindfulness.Having one or more graduate or undergraduate student assistant(s) that work with a faculty orstaff organizer for the wellness programming is beneficial to not only assist with overseeingprogramming content, but they also serve as a friendly face to welcome and encourage otherstudents to engage in the activities. When faculty and staff engage in the activities itdemonstrates to the students the value of making time for wellness, which helps to integrate itinto the organizational culture.Offering food, especially pre-packaged snacks, is a great way

While similar models ofreal-world engagement (e.g., EPICS) exist, they are either limited to a specific category ofstakeholders, such as industry or community, or a particular program, such as capstonedesign. The TRUE projects allow learners across the four-year engineering curriculum toparticipate while holistically building the skills required for the projects via specializedcourses, outreach programs, and mentorship.Implementation of the TRUE initiative over the past seven years provides an opportunity toqualitatively understand the development of students' engineering self-efficacy as a result oftheir participation. Self-efficacy measures students' beliefs in their ability to achieve tasks [2].In this study, it

This was alsothe most highly ranked prior major for International women (41.7%) and White women (32.7%),as articulated in Table 4. This presents an opportunity to think about how computing can becombined with such fields or cover topics related to these areas.Increasingly, institutions are beginning to consider “CS+X” options, where X refers to anemphasis in another discipline, allowing for students to complete a core curriculum in computerscience while considering intersecting fields as well. At the University of Illinois, options rangefrom areas like “CS + Advertising,” “CS + Economics,” and “CS + Music” [35]. Apart from theemergence of

Having a changing environment, withvarious globalization scenarios playing out, with free trade and multilateral social andeconomic agreements, the curriculum of engineering has undergone significant changes. Thisevolution has led to the concept of Global Engineering, which was first introduced in theIndustrial Engineering program at Northern Illinois University, which emphasizes thedevelopment of globally-focused engineering education [8].Developing a global engineering practice entails addressing issues from a much widerperspective. In order to achieve this, it becomes crucial to integrate and

While there areundisputable benefits to integrating design problems into the curriculum during the freshmanyear of engineering education, it's important to acknowledge that such integration often demandsa substantial commitment of faculty time and resources [15].Project Based LearningProject-based learning is an educational approach that promotes students to acquire a diverse setof skills and knowledge by creation of their own projects. This approach not only expands theirunderstanding but also develops problem solving abilities and critical thinking.This review article targets to explore the effectiveness of project-based learning in the freshmanyear of engineering education.

, not only from a technicaland ethical perspective, but also from a social perspective. The Montreal Massacre is rarelydiscussed in the classroom. In 1989, an armed man opened fire in an engineering classroom atMontreal’s École Polytechnique School, killing only the women students. In total 14 womenwere murdered [17]. The lack of discussion around these cases further supports a lack ofviewpoints and inclusion. Whitbeck asserts “feminism is a bad word in engineering andengineering ethics” ([17], p197).Inclusion of scholarshipIncluding women in scholarship within the Carnegie Mellon CEE curriculum has been successfulfor Armanios et al., [19]. Contributions by women are integrated within the computational anddata science course for civil and

It does not matter which motor (linear motor or rotary motor) iscommissioned first. Without the need for mechanical gears, spindles, or belts as an intermediaryconnection, the motion is entirely electrical and wear-free. The linear motor stator includesposition capture sensors, bearings for linear movement, motor windings, and a microcontrollercircuit for motor monitoring [1].System Advantages and Technical AspectsThis system will be integrated with existing hardware equipment already present in the lab.

Engineering teams arecomposed of MEng student project managers and BS student engineers, working on the projectover the course of their capstone classes. Yet, the design and implementation of aninterdisciplinary curriculum can be a challenge for instructors and students alike. These challengesmay be due to differences in epistemological views, constraints of the higher education system, ora lack of frameworks that support interdisciplinary approaches.
