The two outcomes which explicitly demonstrate the value to internationalexperiences include [3]: - Student Outcome 2: “an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.” - Student Outcome 4: “An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic

Students demonstrated how they utilizedFMEA in designing this process as they used the data from past protocols noting where theprevious protocols failed. The fourth group demonstrated the value in using FMEA in producingrecommendations and requirements to be considered in the engineering design process.

Future WorkIn order to understand the reasons high school seniors choose their intended undergraduate major,a survey must be conducted. This survey will include questions on their perception of civilengineering (CE) and if high technology plays a role in their decision for their program of study.The answers to these questions will guide future work on how coursework can be made moreappealing to those considering civil engineering but worried about their place in it in atechnologically advanced

Although a great deal has beenlearned on how to support students from all genders, races, ethnicities, and religions, withmultiple channels of financial aid available, a crucial element has been missing. Multiple lines ofevidence, from scholars representing a diverse cross-section of disciplines, indicate this missingelement is the need for deeper awareness and better practices by faculty.

EntrepreneurshipAbstractThis work-in-progress paper explores three different academic opportunities that introduceundergraduate students to innovation and engineering entrepreneurship. Courses focused on theexplicit teaching of knowledge, skills, and attitudes associated with innovation andentrepreneurship are inherently able to include learning objectives that align with many of theABET student outcomes, including how to: understand the context in which an engineeringdesign will be implemented, effectively communicate ideas, work in multidisciplinary teams, andparticipate in ethical decision making. The three academic opportunities offered at the Universityof Illinois Urbana-Champaign which are discussed in this paper include: 1) a semester-longintroductory course
criteria as a guide to see which outcomes students are practicing onproject teams (Bland et al., 2016; Koehn, 2006). While others investigate particular skills such asleadership and ethics that are part of ABET (Burt et al., 2011; Wolfinbarger et al., 2021).However, how project teams facilitate that development is not clear. In their literature review,Johnson and Main (2020) noted how the quality of effort, using skills in authentic environments,and peer interactions all impacted students’ development of skills and abilities in experientiallearning settings. Wolfinbarger et al. (2021) noticed how students on two engineering projectteams – with very different internal structures – measured very differently in their leadershipstages. This study
professional identity with the student and helping them in ways that didnot violate the ethical principles of engineering and teaching. The results of this interaction werethat the student made it successfully through the semester and is finishing their program in goodstanding. The final takeaways from this experience are the use of empathic mentoring, being thechange that one wishes to be in engineering education, and taking extreme ownership of one’smentoring role to develop and guide their mentees.IntroductionEngineering as a discipline has had a reputation for having a difficult curriculum where manystudents do not succeed [1]–[7]. The most recent numbers regarding engineering retention ratesfor United States universities show that approximately
