We will also share ourcomprehensive model of program supports and how we plan to measure the usage, effectiveness,and long term impact of those supports over time. 1. IntroductionThe Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Stony Brook University seeks to educateengineers who will possess basic concepts, proficiency in using modern tools, and necessary skillsto maintain the technological and economic competitiveness of United States. Our faculty istotally committed to this vision and understands that the realization of this goal requires anexpansion of the traditional
-proposedsolutions instead of investigating their own ideas with personal critical thinking. Engagingstudents, from day one, in PBL method exploiting efficiently AI, could result in enhancingmotivation of engineering students, even those lacking scientific prerequisites. Practicalexperiments, like disassembling and reassembling technology, combined with PBL, are expectedto reduce students' apprehension of engineering courses.I. IntroductionThe rapid technological innovations in all sectors such as sustainable infrastructures orautomated machines require more engineers with versatile skills. This demand, thoughinequitably distributed around the world, is a global trend. In the US, the CHIPS and ScienceAct, the estimation is that in the semiconductor industry

TheIntroduction to Research method class is designed to provide students with a vital, year long,full-emersion experience into the processes and activities involved with scientific andengineering research and practices. The Technology and Engineering courses, in 10th and 11thgrades, introduce students to the technology tools and their applications in science andengineering practices through modern, hands-on experiments. These courses integrate a

Through an analysis of studentfeedback, this paper identifies two major themes. First, integrating sustainable developmentprojects into the engineering design classroom provides students with deeper insights regardingthe challenges of sustainable development projects. Second, students are able to make a clearerconnection between the social and technical aspects of engineering and sustainable developmentproblems. This paper concludes that introducing sustainable development projects into theengineering classroom that have real-world applications and allow students to

Prelewicz [8] model proposes5 tiers of competencies that engineers must develop throughout their career: 1. Tier 1 - Personal effectiveness competencies: these include interpersonal skills, professionalism, integrity, initiative, adaptability and flexibility, dependability and reliability, and lifelong learning. 2. Tier 2 – Academic competencies: including reading, writing, mathematics, science and technology, communication, critical and analytical thinking, computer skills. 3. Tier 3 – Workplace competencies: although some of these are expected to be

The purpose of this Work in Progress (WIP) paper is to detail theinterview procedure and explore how the frameworks used provide insight into the data.

Because all of theparticipation was through Zoom, students felt uncomfortable asking questions of the professor.Disappointment with the learning environment among engineering students is echoed in researchconducted on postgraduate students in the United Kingdom [14] and 140 undergraduateengineering students in Qatar [15]. Out of the eleven students interviewed in the UK study, eightwere postgraduate students in engineering or technology. Participants in the U.K. study, inagreement with the Gelles et al study [13], felt that the remote classes were merely directtransfers of the existing teaching in the class rather than reconfigurations of the teaching tomaximize the effectiveness.

We present resultsof both approaches and conclude that in the dissertation and theses analyzed, topics related witheducation are more common than those related with applying engineering and technology toeducation. Further research is needed to determine more specific results.Keywords: Dissertations, Engineering
