For example, Outcome 4 requires students tobe able to “consider… global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.” VillanovaUniversity was awarded a grant to pilot the EOP framework. To integrate the EOP framework asrapidly as possible a faculty workshop was developed. This workshop has been delivered twiceto cohorts of eight faculty each during five half-day sessions. These faculty have addressedtwenty outcomes and assessed seven. At the time of writing, EOP outcomes have been includedand assessed in three courses: two required undergraduate courses and one graduate level course.Assignments, group projects, and exam questions were used to assess the achievement ofselected EOP outcomes.This paper will present an introduction to

This novel approach has been designed toenhance access to the program starting in high school. The new dual-credit approach, whichis called the facilitator model, allows high school teachers to be trained in facilitating theinnovation-focus curriculum in their schools day-to-day but with the university faculty beingthe instructor of record to evaluate the student progress.

Within this structure students gain valuable research and developmentskills, but at a level that is appropriate for their age level while reducing the projects costs andensuring safety of students.

If it is perceived as a different field, then students may not understand that studyingtheir ethical decisions will relate directly to their careers. To combat this, some instructorsapproach ethics from a convergent (cognitive) perspective and/or engage students by grabbingtheir attention (heroic actions, catastrophic events, fictionalized scenarios) that may not be aseffective at changing behavior due to taking too large of an imaginative leap.Preparation for ethical conflicts makes one more likely to act ethically [23], but most ethicaldecisions engineers face in

Outside of theimprovements in future engineering courses, the use of PjBL has shown to better preparestudents for the workforce and the challenges they may face. However, one concern ofimplementation of PjBL is that it may overwhelm a student especially when conducted in lowerlevel courses. In some cases, schools of higher education may choose to teach lower levelcourses following the conventional lecture format and allow students to participate incompetition teams as an extra-curricular activity.Numerous engineering programs across the world participate in competition programs, such asBaja SAE (Society

Results suggest that more practice with higher order skills in context of the engineeringdesign process at additional points during the curriculum may be necessary to enable students toretain these skills. Additional recommendations based on the analysis include making ILrequirements in the Capstone grading rubric more explicit and granular, and combiningengineering subject matter experts and engineering librarians to collectively score students’work. This may be a path to enabling more rubric-based assessments of IL in the engineeringdiscipline.BackgroundMechanical Engineering students at Northeastern University

passion for the engineering profession among students. Theseprograms often adopt engaged pedagogies that integrate technical and non-technical (e.g., ethicsand communication) competencies into the curriculum. A major goal of such an integrativeapproach to engineering education is to present students with a more holistic vision of theengineering profession, and communicate to students that skills necessary for good, responsibleengineering are integrative by nature. Therefore, it is relatively natural that instructors oftenassess the efficacy of these pedagogies in their classes in terms of how these pedagogies affectstudents’ ethical perceptions and the development of their ethical competencies.

Recent developments in software and computing power enable near-real-time FE simulations that allow students to quickly explore different iterations of their designs.Material selection is another integral part of the product design cycle and should be considered inthe design process, ideally alongside the modeling. Balancing objectives and constraints to findthe material that best meets the design criteria requires both an understanding of the product’s finalapplication as well as materials science fundamentals. One challenge with combining materialsselection and FE modeling is they are often taught separately, which can lead to one of the areasbeing underutilized

It is also well-known that there is a need to enhance organizations’ cybersecuritycapabilities while spreading cybersecurity awareness among the masses. To the former cause,degree programs have been established throughout the US to train the workforce; however, theyhave proved insufficient.
