buildingstudents’ abilities to document their work, consider the ethical implications of their work, bereflective practitioners, and enact effective team behaviors. A complete set of learningobjectives was provided to students to use as a reference to guide their learning andreflection. Examples of learning objectives relevant to this study are shown in Table 2. Foreach learning objective, a description of proficiency was provided.Standards-based grading was employed across all elements of the course, meaning studentperformance on assignments was assessed using the learning objectives as items in criterion-referenced rubrics [24]. A five-point scale (i.e., Proficient (100%), Developing (80%),Emerging (50%), Insufficient Evidence (1%-5%) and No Attempt (0

In the same train of thought, it is unclear whether it is theinstructional strategies or the tools that support students’ understanding of HCD and how thesetools enhanced their perspectives of the roles of engineers in society. The closest study foundaround engineering design, human-centered design, and instructional strategies was a studyconducted by Villanueva and colleagues [18] where they showed that active learning activitiesconnected to service learning in engineering design resulted in higher engagement of students tothe classroom activities. This body of work on ideation and prototyping tools serves as anexploration of these elements within an

weapons systems that battle against other teams of students. TheBotsIQ competition is commonly referred to as “battle bots,” because the students build robotsthat fight to destroy each other. The competition is held on a geographically local level withwinners advancing to the nationwide competition hosted by the National Robotics League.To ensure the survey was conducted in an ethical manner, all authors of this paper completed theCollaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) as required by Robert Morris University’sInstitutional Review Board (IRB). The IRB then reviewed and approved the survey as outlined inAppendix 1 before it was sent to the BotsIQ program instructors along with the consent formgiven in Appendix 2. Those who received

Physics: This is the second course in the first-year engineering experience and has Intro as a pre-requisite. Many of the experiments involve rely on Python code to interact with sensors and actuators. Therefore, a solid foundation in the skills from Intro is necessary.From the population of position-of-stress participants, a stratified sampling technique was usedto choose interview candidates in three categories of decreasing
least one candidate who would be offered a faculty position.The Dean and Search Chair reiterated to everyone involved that this was an open-disciplinesearch and that the only limitation was that applicants had to specialize in an area that would fitwithin any tenure-home engineering department. That excluded individuals whose faculty homewould have been in the college’s humanities/society/ethics or engineering education programs.Along with the Search Committee chair (Lewis), the search committee’s equity advisor andlogistics manager (Sandekian) collected and organized relevant research and materials fromcomparable searches nationwide and placed them into a shared Google Drive folder. Thisincluded the rubric and website materials developed by

I was worried about gettingthe position because my novice resume and that I was a sophomore in college barely starting mycivil engineering classes. I expressed my concern to one of my Hispanic classmates and was toldnot to worry about it. “You’re a Black woman, you already got it.” I did not get the position, butI was angered that this person limits my abilities to just my gender and race. It didn’t occur tothis person that someone may hire me because of my intellectual capabilities or work ethic, butbecause I possess something I have no control over.

experiential, methodological, spatial-temporal, technological, institutional, social, and political/ethical as well as consider that transdisciplinary teams evolving through different stages may require changes in their communication processes [115]. Wang et al. (2019) [116] developed a communication framework for transdisciplinary teams that offers topics for communication and indicators of successful communication (subdivided into relationship development and solution development) at each stage of team formation and performance. One feature of the workflow should be regular and ongoing (emphasis added) communication [98]. Transdisciplinary teams are often separated spatially and these

The ability of a similarity engine to retain accurate and precise detectionof plagiarized source code files in spite of the application of mutations is an important factor toconsider in an evaluation
also be used to assess ABET outcomes for communication and teamwork,indicating their use for assessing students’ abilities to apply technical knowledge to solveproblems collaboratively while also communicating those solutions effectively.Based on a 2013 review of engineering education scholarship, when faculty assigned teamprojects, they primarily targeted outcomes based in teamwork, design, and communication, withsome focus on innovation, lifelong learning, ethics, and motivation [8]. In a breakdown of theteamwork outcome, researchers found a focus on global/cultural competence (for both teammembers and clients), project management, and interdisciplinary teamwork, as well as somefocus on societal concerns, distributed teamwork, leadership
