Capstone project management Engineering Technology programs have effectively executed experiential learning practicesvia capstone or senior projects. Students could solidify their learning through rigorous two-semester capstone project courses in the Engineering Technology programs at Texas A&MUniversity. One of the faculty in this paper, Dr. Hur, has been teaching a junior-level embeddedsystem course [14][15]. Students could be given a reasonably challenging term project to helptheir education in this course. In Fall 2019, a robot challenge as the term project was given to thestudents [16]. For this robot challenge, students need to build their version of a two

This part of the survey could also beconstrued as a popularity poll for professors. If the students are honest in theirevaluation, then the possibility exists for the department chair to get a good assessment ofthe faculty and identify any areas or professors that need improvement. As BaylorUniversity places in importance on quality teaching, this is of utmost importance.The fourth page asks the students to assess the faculty overall, department staff,engineering facilities overall, and the engineering equipment overall. The scale rangesfrom “needs improvement” to “outstanding”. The rest of the survey consists of
used to acquire real-time data to actuate a motor. Using a programalongside Arduino to save this acquired data and harnessing Arduino’s maneuverability andadaptability would allow students to create better systems. Most importantly, incorporating thiswithin a lab while also teaching data acquisition basics would help solidify all of the necessaryskills. Together all of this should allow for any data acquisition needs within research or acapstone project to be easier to obtain.AcknowledgmentsThis work was supported by the Arkansas EPSCoR Data Analytics that are Robust & Trusted(DART) through seed grant number 22-EPS4-0028, under NSF grant number OIA-1946391,Chancellor’s Funds for Commercialization, and Honors College Research Team Grant at
introducing these topics, it will prepare students for an easier transition torunning simulations. For example, in the mechanical engineering fluid curriculum, it might begood to touch on common computation packages that are used for fluid simulations such asOpenFOAM or COMSOL.The other way these topics could be included in the curriculum is by creating a new elective thatwould allow students to use an available package to run a sample simulation or train a model andthen expand on this by teaching how to upscale their model. This might mean using more atomsor increasing the time in a simulation or using more data for training a supervised machinelearning mode. The course could include a scaling assignment to emphasize the speed up forincreasing CPU

Another drawback of manufacturing education is the namerecognition. Students entering engineering education and their families often choose traditionalengineering disciplines over manufacturing, and the field is associated with the dirty and
creativity, experience and knowledge to solve problems to help people. Engineers design electric cars, mobile phones, bridges and processes to clean environment and mass transportation systems to move people and goods. Engineers can choose different types of jobs such as design, manufacturing, research, testing or sales etc. A student interested in discovering new knowledge can consider a career in research. If you are imaginative and creative, design engineering may interest you. If you like computers, you can be a CAD engineer. If you like laboratory and experiments, you may choose development engineering. Engineering is also organized in traditional fields such a mechanical, electrical, civil, chemical, biomedical or computer

“teaching intervention” [29] that raised awareness of genderstereotyping and its demonstrated effect on women’s math performance was found to buffer thenegative effects of stereotyping of women.Extending this previous work, we propose that an ability to recognize subtle bias as being causedby gender stereotyping may reduce the likelihood of witnesses to explicitly endorse stereotypes,and increase the likelihood that they will explicitly disavow stereotypes.People are likely to differ in their tendency or ability to identify subtle gender bias as genderstereotyping. Because subtle gender bias is by its nature ambiguous, it may be interpreted indifferent ways by different people. For example, engineering students working on teams maywitness a woman

Becoming moresociotechnically literate involves moving away from focusing on individual accountability andtowards being able to recognize systemic causality, rooted in a historical context.Beyond assigning responsibility for harm that has been caused by existing technologies, studentsare also asked to struggle with the idea of who they are responsible for when (if) they becomedesigners and engineers. With much of engineering still client-driven, institutions and people inpower choose the problems that are to be solved, often at the expense of the broader community;we need to teach students to ask: “for whom and by whom is engineering done?” (Riley, 2008, p.97).Across all three of these dimensions, it is important for
