development of the program and challenges along the way. As the programwas just launched in Fall 2019, we do not present assessment data here, but rather brieflydescribe our approach to program assessment.IntroductionThe 2016-17 academic year marked the 150th anniversary of engineering degree programs atLafayette College is a liberal arts college of ~2600 undergraduate students in Easton, PA. At theMarch 1866 board of trustees meeting the college had instituted its first engineering degrees incivil and mining engineering, citing “a demand to set the goal of educating not just the engineer,but the ‘whole [person]’ who is able to meet the challenges of a world in which, scientific,technological and human needs have steadily become more complex [1
scientists, especiallythose that will be working with data about people and with automated techniques that can haveconsequences on people's lives” [4, p. 20]. Similar to the curriculum defined by IDSSP [3], theyrecommend that students study failures as well as successful case studies. The report alsoincludes a link to a list of university courses on ethics and technology and other resources [5].The ethical topics raised in the report can be summarized in two categories: 1. educational training: curriculum and research programs; define code of ethics, and 2. current events/case studies: success and disaster stories.2.5 National Academies of Science/Engineering/Medicine (NASEM)The US National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM

thematerials testing procedures previously done in the lab. Topics covered (1) tensile testing ofductile materials, (2) tensile testing of brittle materials, (3) torsional testing of ductile materials,and (4) torsional testing of brittle materials. The simulation module was designed to bridge thegap between the theoretical concepts, limitations of experimental testing, and the complexity ofpractical applications. In addition, it is familiarizing students with digital technology skills thatare highly relied on in industry, as well as helping fulfill ABET student outcome (k). Team-based learning and scaffolding were integrated to this module as part of the teaching strategies.Overall, adding simulations to a fundamental mechanical engineering course

AbstractConventional architecture and architectural engineering pedagogy deals with design of buildingsand systems for earth-specific functions, spans and load demands. Architecture curriculum hasrequired educators to constantly transform and innovate their course offerings to meet the changingtrends and rapid technological advancements. The discourse about space exploration andcolonization have placed a creative onus on educators who have traditionally taught design forearth conditions alone. While terrestrial structures are typically designed for service conditionsand region-specific severe conditions, outer space structures in contrast are designed for uniqueextreme conditions such as zero or microgravity, gamma radiation, high temperature fluctuations,and

to satisfy certain requirements that may or may not prove to beimpediments.BackgroundFaculty in civil engineering, civil engineering technology, and construction programs haveexpressed concerns about meeting the vague and increasing expectations for tenure. Previousinvestigations showed that some impediments include lack of funding opportunities, highteaching expectation and teaching load, as well as lack of quality students to employ for researchand as teaching assistants [5, 6]. Comparison of perceptions of these impediments pre and posttenure among faculty has not been performed.Requirements for tenure vary between institutions, and even between academic units within thesame institution. In addition, guidelines for tenure are often

for expanding the role of the librarian.Literature ReviewMany librarians have incorporated standards into library resource instruction lectures and/orassignments, and more specific to this study, as a means to teach information literacy toengineering students [6-8]. While each case or study varied slightly in how standards wereincorporated into engineering curricula or library resource instruction for engineering students,all involved librarians familiar with technical literature who understood the importance ofstandards in future engineers careers. As Phillips and McPherson note, there are examples offaculty in engineering and engineering technology incorporating standards into undergraduatedesign courses, but not often in terms of

The teaching distribution shifts substantially for required courses taken in the second year,with BME responsible for 66%, and the computer science department responsible for most of therest (26%). For junior and senior level courses, BME is responsible for almost all (92%), whichby this point are largely the simulation and modeling courses. It is uncommon for the BME department to be responsible for OOP courses, but this is thecase at seven universities (Lawrence Technological University, Marquette University, and theUniversities of Colorado at Denver, Maryland College Park, Memphis, Miami, and Texas atAustin).Examples As already seen, there is a great deal of
