, these toolsare easily accessed over the internet, making online instruction a more viable option for theseprograms over the past decade [10]. However, for fields like chemical engineering, the necessaryresources to successfully adapt to remote instruction labs are still being developed and tested[11]. Koretsky [12] has been working on developing interactive virtual laboratories and has hadsome success with early implementation. Technological advances like VR/AR would offerstudents methods of still receiving a “hands-on” laboratory experience, delivered remotely.Despite these successes, difficulties have been experienced with student expectations of theremote labs, as well as how features are understood and utilized by students.

[1]The language in these criteria has become stronger and almost requires design projects toconsider the various dimensions indicated as opposed to indicating that from the menu ofoptions, the design project only needs to consider some of them.Another important element in designing ECE programs is to include a discussion of standards.This topic often receives little treatment in curricula but given the wide range of standards forECE technologies, as promoted through the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers(IEEE) professional society [3], knowledge of pertinent standards is important for ECE studentsto understand.The senior capstone project course is a good one to address many of these broader considerationsfor engineering

problem solvingconcept mapping is a promising method that can be utilized in mechanical engineeringcourses. The possibility of using modern technology such as computers and softwaretools to make the problem solving process interactive can lead to effective way ofmechanical engineering education.In the present study a thermodynamics course taught at Southern University is taken upfor study. A scheme of making the instructional scheme more interactive is proposed.The solution is cost effective and requires only some commonly used software tools.This scheme allows students to visualize and solve problems of thermodynamics in aninteractive manner. Data on the students’ performance at each step of the problem solvingprocess can be collected and stored

Sustainable engineering refers to “practices that promote environmental, social andeconomic sustainability through greater resource efficiency, reduced pollution and considerationof the wider social impacts of new technologies, processes and practices” [2], [10]. Sustainableengineering highlights natural resource preservations, eco-efficient solutions that support naturalenvironments.

federal poverty line while more billionairesare created daily, police budgets swell, an eviction crisis looms, and climate change rapidlyaccelerates, the depth and breadth of the connections of technological advancement to mutuallyreinforcing systems of oppression in the United States have prompted a need to re-examineengineering education [1]-[5]. Given this dire state, it is critical that the engineering communitygrapples with the role engineers play in perpetuating fatal couplings of power and difference andthe steps that can be taken to disrupt the systems and cycles of violence from which theseinequitable couplings stem [6]. As Winner [7] noted, engineers engage in tasks that embed powerrelations into the technologies they produce and
