Faculty also realized that by looking at the then-new ABET student outcomes (SOs1-7) they might be able to develop a simple evaluation tool for employers to share both criticaldevelopmental feedback with the students as well as provide another direct measure of studentattainment of some of the ABET student outcomes. In this paper, the authors will briefly discussthe co-op program and how it fits into the curriculum and review the literature on the benefitsand challenges of work experience as well as developing work assessment measures. The paperwill then explain the development of the evaluation survey tool, how the questions were selected,and their connection to ABET SO’s 1-7. The authors will share how

, studentswould often not make sufficient progress in their project across the three semesters. Manyprojects were left incomplete. Even when students managed to finish a prototype, they wouldvery rarely have sufficient time for in-depth testing and analysis. In order to address thissituation, the faculty introduced a requirement for industry-inspired weekly Project ManagementElements (PMEs), where students specify how many hours they are dedicating to specific taskseach week. Additionally, through the use of CATME peer evaluation tools, students within agroup evaluate the contributions of each team member for that week.

in terms of adapting research instruments to better understand this topic.Further, we consider pedagogical implications for first year programs and beyond in supportingstudents to develop ownership over decision making related to engineering requirements.Introduction and research purposeOur interest in this research work is tied to the idea that engineering practice is fundamentallyabout design [1], [2] of products, processes, systems, and services. Thus, in educating engineers,we must be attendant to developing skills that help students to traverse design problems. Whilesome characterize design as a problem solving process [2], and disagreeing with this stancemight seem surprising, we argue that problem solving is the best understood and

One strategy that is of strong interest to students entering college is throughgamification of game-based learning [1]. Gamification takes elements of game play to situationsthat are considered routine. Game-based learning is an interactive way to pique students’ interestin a topic that may seem mundane

In 2009, researcher ArushaCooray showed the strong correlation between colonialism and the low adult literacy rates somecountries face [1]. Unfortunately, over a decade after Dr. Cooray’s publication, these uneveneducation trends remain consistent in some parts of Sub-Saharan Africa. In Senegal andZimbabwe, only 50% and 51% of women are enrolled in secondary school respectively [2].These low enrollment numbers are even more concerning when considering that in

Researchersbelieve that with teaching fundamental skills to students, they can learn any new concept or tech-nology when entering the industry [3]. Software design and architecture [4] as well as databasedesign [5] courses are two key concepts which students learn during traditional software engi-neering programs that have important applications in the real world. Database courses typicallyprovide students with information about proper modelling, design practices, database implemen-tation and management in teams [6].

The U.S. Department of Education sponsored the Yes She Can program at The University ofTexas at El Paso to contribute to the education of women students in science, technology, engineering,and math (STEM) disciplines. The use of social media became a key component of the Yes She Canprogram, especially during the COVID 19 pandemic. The Yes She Can program has published four typesof social media posts, namely: 1) Quote of the week, 2) Announcements of events and opportunities, 3)Stories of famous people, and 4) Student

,including video communication tools, construction sites can be “brought” to the classroom, butthis strategy can be awkward, less engaging than a real site visit, and only provides a snapshotof the construction process.It is important for students to have not only visual experiences with construction sites, but also atactile experience. A tactile experience is very difficult to achieve through site visits (where theyare limited in what they can access), videos, and slide show presentations. To address thisdifficulty, we propose the use of scaled realistic models to augment a classroom experience.The research presented in this paper outlines the process of creating 1:50 scale models thatrepresent a one-story concrete building and a two-story steel

Have they motivated engineering students to start their ownbusinesses? According to human psychology studies, intention is the best predictor ofplanned and actual behavior [1]. In previous studies, researchers have extensivelyexplored the effects of entrepreneurship education on EI.
