Analytics within Brightspace also provide useful information aboutwhat is being used, and what videos are being watched, and reveal which activities areperforming better than others.The question to ask is what kind of information will contribute to improving the course, and howlearning analytics can be used to make the course more effective in future interactions(evaluating user engagement and soliciting feedback). If the feedback is intended to be used fora research paper or study, ethics approval will be required to harvest the information withinBrightspace.Possibilities for Further Course Development Perform ongoing maintenance and solicit regular feedback Design assessment tools such as mini quizzes Create additional training videos
engineering basedapproaches to develop functionally and physiologically analogous models of human organs [42],[43]. Modeling of preclinical screening of pharmaceuticals commonly requires in-vivo techniques.Even as the in-vivo techniques are currently indispensable, they suffer from myriad limitations,e.g., low throughput, long trial periods, ethical concerns, and complications associated with cross-species result transfer and validation. As a result, in-vitro models for screening of pharmaceuticalsare gaining increasing attention to create devices with high throughputs and improve the efficiencyof preclinical trials. Nonetheless, some in-vitro models (e.g., those based on microfluidics) mayfail to replicate conditions present in the body and thus

Students will develop their understanding of green and sustainable supply chain andwill learn the tools and techniques required to analyze and design a sustainable supply chainsystem. Students can ask questions to evaluate the supply chain cases which are discussing in termsof their greenness. Where are the materials are coming from? Are they environmentally friendly?Does the company provide a tangible, credible commitment to greenness, such as sustainabilitycertification?Also, regarding the social phase of the sustainable supply chain, the human-friendly environmentand industry standard which is an important phase of sustainability is becoming

Individual and Group Assignments: In the first five weeks of the course, students were assigned individual assignments primarily based on computer aided drafting (CAD) software where each student mock up their cosmetic and functional designs. In addition to that, individual assignments on ethics, intellectual property, and professional development were assigned. From the sixth week, students worked in their project groups and the group assignment varied from fabrication of their final CAD designs to design review presentations.8. Peer interactions and Project Roles: Students mirrored real professional interactions. a. Students first worked as individuals and mocked up their ideas

These traits were dedication to engineering, strongmathematics and physics ability, detail orientation, the desire to solve problems, the ability to work withothers and strong communication skills. Students hypothesized that their peers who left engineering hadlower intrinsic motivation (for example, lower interest in the field or a lower sense of satisfaction fromtheir course work), a reduced work ethic compared to others, or were unable to meet academicexpectations imposed by themselves or their parents, peers or instructors.DiscussionOur quantitative results related to belongingness indicate that, early in the implementation of ourcurricular and

Whereas most students were positive about these strategies, afew felt the time spent discussing study skills was “patronizing,” since they were juniors incollege and had already learned to study at the community college. One student commented thatthe seminar encouraged him to develop a strong work ethic from the start, by focusing on topicssuch as time management. Career/professional support Students described the importance of introductions to career resources and supports,interviewing strategies, and other professional resources such as having an elevator speech,which is a succinct and concise description of professional

The flexibility in teaching both small and large classesmake escape rooms effective for many different classrooms. Here, the escape rooms are implemented in Cornerstone, an introduction to engineeringcourse for first year university students that implements project-based learning. Previous studieson Cornerstone have shown its effectiveness as an introduction to engineering course [8]–[11].The Cornerstone course teaches students the basics of AutoCAD, Solidworks, C++programming, Matlab, Arduino, engineering ethics, and engineering design. Throughout thecourse, we use lecture

Figure 1. An early version of EC 2000’s a-k student learning outcomes [35].The most significant thing to note about EC 2000 is their overall emphasis on professional skills(see Figure 1). Of the eleven a-k learning outcomes, at least seven, and

As the focus of the study was on transdisciplinary engineering design, it was decided that ineach group, representation from different disciplines be ensured to allow for a transdisciplinarydiscussion. Therefore, one representative from each of the engineering disciplines from eachgraduation group was randomly selected and invited to the interview. Table 1 shows that thenumber of focus group participants, their disciplines and graduation year range. The dates for thefocus group interviews were selected through the group vote with alumni in May 2018. Once thedates were set, participants were emailed the arrival instructions.

Weekly meetings and other activitiesThe REU students met weekly with the program leads to discuss progress in their researchprojects and to continue the Entering Research training, covering topics such as the relationshipand communication with their mentors and coping strategies. The meetings took place viaZoom, and the program director, based at Rice, visited the participants at UTEP and ASU tomeet with them in person and conduct the weekly meeting from their facilities.In addition, participants received training from the Rice Center for Written, Oral and VisualCommunication on how to
judgment withinengineering and computing service-learning has focused primarily on the social, political, andcultural impact of technology on society. This emphasis notwithstanding, the EPICS programrecognizes the value of reflective judgment and has attempted to expand the use of criticalthinking skills to include reflections on the community partner (called the project partner), teamdynamics, the design process, and ethics [23]. This approach is consistent with the broader ABET program and the characteristics of theEngineer of 2020 reported by the NAE [26]. Direct contact on projects with groups such as not-for-profit organizations and the reflection on the impact a student is making on these groups,rudimentary in service-learning, are

In the late 2000’s ASCE established a vision forthe future that frames five critical learning outcomes [4,29]: (1) master builders, (2) stewards ofnatural environment, (3) innovators and integrators of ideas and technology, (4) managers of riskand uncertainty, and (5) leaders in shaping public policy. Based on this vision, there have beenrenewed studies in the last 10 years on capstones to meet current demands. Studies have included: Engineering ethics [24] Leadership skills [3] Integrating technology (for course admin
States Culture includes reflections wherein participants drewconnections to home by comparing or contrasting their experiences abroad with their experiencesback home (locally or nationally). Many students drew connections to everyday elements of lifeback home, like food, coffee, alcohol, transportation, stores, and universities. Others mentionedbuying souvenirs for friends or family back home, and one participant, Ian, mentioned wantingto bring his family to places he visited. Additionally, Matthew made several comparisonsrelating to work ethic between the countries he visited and the United States. He describeddisdain for the perceived alcohol culture among locals and general “laziness” he observed in thecountries he visited, drawing
; an example of Axis 7: Engineering’s Ethical Implications. These engineeringexperiences and many others like them occurring throughout the rocket module were unique andvaluable for high school students. The general lack of student recognition revealed by theirsurveys that they were, in fact, doing engineering may arise from the conflation of engineeringwith science endemic in schools identified by Pleasants and Olson [2]. The instructor could havedone a better job illuminating for students these “engineering teaching moments” as theyoccurred. Our own research contains examples of advanced projects adapted for high school thatfailed to hold student interest and attention because they were not designed or implemented withthe P-12 environment in

We framed eachquestion so as to obscure its origin while potentially allowing the student to draw out and discussa decision error of systems engineering. Why not simply give students descriptions of the failuresand the findings we discussed and have the students evaluate them? First, we wanted to eliminatebias due to students being familiar with a particular failure. For example, the Space ShuttleChallenger accident is a frequent topic in engineering ethics lectures. A learned, in-context,response from a previous exposure would not give us an indication of their abilities in systemsengineering. Second, the point of framing a question around a
