each person in a caring and respectful fashion, mindful of individual differences and cultural and ethnic diversity. Engineers promote clients’ socially responsible self-determination. Engineers seek to enhance clients’ capacity and opportunity to change and to address their own needs. Engineers are cognizant of their dual responsibility to clients and to the broader society. They seek to resolve conflicts between clients’ interests and the broader society’s interests in a socially responsible Page 26.322.11 manner consistent with the values, ethical principles, and ethical standards of the profession. ● Value

Related to the accreditation process, forexample, Riley highlights the incompatibility of diversity initiatives with outcomes-basededucation [20].

positively perceived their instructors. Similarly, verbalrecognition from instructors helped students generate confidence and a sense of belonging.Affirming a student’s effort within a class, or more broadly recognizing characteristics a studenthas that embody what it means to be an engineer can foster confidence moving forward. Generally,faculty can position themselves as allies by being mindful about their discourse and actionsthrough limiting negative language, communicating openly with students about course content ata level they can understand, being present within the classroom, encouraging feedback, and givingverbal recognition of effort. These together can assist in supplying students with a positive learningenvironment on their pathways to
discipline. . The goal was to motivate problems students have seen in Physics,Chemistry, and Statistics as well as ones they will see in follow-on engineering courses.Therefore, we are introducing problem solving on problems that they will see and need tounderstand. We are treating many of the problems as equations/ black boxes where in laterclasses derivations and more understanding of the problems will be obtained.Developing and Teaching a Computer-Based Modeling CourseWhile the design of the course is fundamental to its creation, the teaching and delivery of thecourse will determine the ultimate success. Bear in mind, this is one of the first engineeringcourses that a student takes during their college career. Therefore it is important to engage

Session 1602 Identifying Specific, Measurable “Skills” Perceived as Requisite for Graduating Aerospace Engineers Kimble-Thom, M.A., Thom, J.M., Crossley, W.A. Purdue UniversityIntroductionIn the last 15 years engineering educators and industry practitioners have attempted to identifywhat skills a graduating engineer needs to acquire during his/her undergraduate education inorder to be successful at design activities. The efforts to identify these design skills are hamperedby both the lack of precision in the terms used to describe design skills and by the
jobs and the workthey performed. One new engineer at Small Computer Company cited a number of reasons forhis enjoying his job. One reason was the company’s positive work environment. According tothis new engineer, the company had a very relaxed atmosphere and it was very easy to makeacquaintances within the company due to the large number of young people there. Alsocontributing to the positive work environment was the variety of hands-on work that his joballowed him to do.

Characteristic Roles Page 24.837.4Throughout K-WIDE students were encouraged to be mindful of several different archetypal roles.The idea of an archetype was popularized by Carl Jung, but has been co-opted by several others.For example, De Bono created the Six Hats brainstorming technique 32 to balance convergent anddivergent thinking. Likewise IDEO has published the Ten Faces of Innovation that describes thekey personnel of a creative and productive team 33 .Six idealized roles emerged from K-WIDE. Some are more associated with engineering, whileothers are associated more with the entrepreneurial mindset. The goal for the student, however, isto be

Complete the design problem solving process from experience with a semester-long, discipline-specific design project. 5. Begin building professional relationships with faculty members within the student's chosen department. 6. Resolve basic engineering and professional ethical problems. 7. Make an informed decision on an engineering major based on exposure to various fields of engineering from active representatives in those fields. 8. Utilize the common solid foundation to logically lead into the introductory major-specific courses.With this wish list in mind, a

Session 2215 A Summer Research Experience for Undergraduate Students in Civil Engineering Anant R. Kukreti University of CincinnatiAbstract This paper describes a project conducted to provide research experience to engineeringundergraduate students involving discovery through actual construction, experimental testing,observing and recording, synthesizing the data collected, and generalizations. The project waspart of a Research for Undergraduates Site grant sponsored by the National Science Foundation,and administered in the
learning environment, and incorporating the use of information technology in theteaching/learning process. In the first two years of Project Catalyst, a core group of faculty fromall five engineering departments at Bucknell University has begun implementing this focusedshift by systematically incorporating collaborative and problem-based learning into their courses.This emphasis has required a coordinated effort to introduce significant elements of teambuilding and problem solving into the undergraduate curriculum.This paper discusses a conceptual framework for progressively developing students' problemsolving and team skills across the curriculum. The framework is modeled after the university'swriting program and identifies introductory
