Educational Objectives andProgram Student Outcomes. Understanding the role of these items in how they define a programis central to understanding the purpose of a program in how it is attempting to relate itscurriculum to the future of its graduates.ABET educational objectives and student outcomes can best be understood from a top-down perspective.[4] Which of these comes first is not at all a chicken-and-egg argument.Educational objectives come first. Then student outcomes can be properly understood andtake on a useful meaning. The educational objectives are defined in terms of the earlycareer paths the graduates of the engineering program are being prepared for andgenerally expected to follow. In other words, once the students leave the academic

This selection process requires the ideas generated previously befleshed in the form of basic configurations that can be evaluated, for instance, as a computer modelto determine whether these preliminary designs are feasible and practical. Often this is a hands-onphase of design, where the team makes simple or more sophisticated prototypes and conduct teststo see if they meet the design specifications. To facilitate testing of the ideas, an overall systemmight be decomposed into a series of sub

by instructors to meet their preferredobjectives. Therefore, while they may be prerequisites to second-year courses, first-yearengineering programs are not necessarily integrated into an engineering curriculum. Further,since they are often designed with little consideration for best practices in introductory coursedesign, overall outcomes and content vary widely. This leads to the issue of course developers“reinventing the wheel,” considering successful models are not adequately disseminated. Theproblem is further exacerbated by a lack of definition for first year models. Despite a developerknowing what they want in a course, he or she may not be able to find a course with similaroutcomes with nothing more than "first year engineering" as a

To gain a broaderunderstanding of the impact of ChatGPT on engineering education, we hope to collaborate withother institutions to gain a more complete picture of the academic community's attitudes toward GAIin various educational settings.The proposed conceptual framework for integrating AI into engineering education, as described inthis study, needs to be applied and tested in real educational settings. Application of the conceptualframework in course design and pedagogy, and subsequent evaluation of its effectiveness, canprovide valuable information on how best to integrate AI into engineering curricula.Given the rapid integration of GAI in education, research is needed to inform policy

, 2015 An Approach to Teaching People Skills in Senior Design Project Courses Introduction The premise of this paper is that most engineering students are ill-prepared for the demands their careers will place on them to interact with other people one-on-one, within teams, and within organizations—organizations that are often global in character. The senior design project provides an opportunity (literally a last chance) for graduating seniors to recognize and develop people skills needed for success. Because the project is intended to simulate real engineering practice, the faculty member can observe each student’s people skill level in project context and at a minimum provide insights and coaching to each student in order to improve those

looking at student support through this lens is that the MCCS provides a way todeconstruct student support and identify the underlying experiences. This multipronged approachis advantageous because, while specific interventions may not be transferable, students’experiences can transcend contexts within and across institutions. For example, instead ofinvestigating the impact of peer mentoring programs—which are not often identical—this lensallows us to investigate the impact of the overall perception of interactions that students havewith other students outside of the classroom.Research Design& RationaleThe development of the survey instrument is being carried out following best practices asdefined by DeVellis [2] and Gall, Gall & Borg [3

For example, Berland and Reiser3found that students engaged in the communicative practice of scientific argumentationdiffered depending on whether they believed they were attempting to demonstrate theirown knowledge or to win a debate. In addition, researchers in communicationdemonstrate that student’s written products change depending on the perceivedaudience20,21,23.

Research has shown that graduate students’ educational experiences aresignificantly impacted by their relationship with their adviser, yet this relationship is one of themost frequently mentioned challenges by international students. Based on the literature review,we argue that being aware of intercultural competence is essential for STEM faculty to providepositive advising experiences for international graduate students. Despite the promise ofintercultural competence promoting effective and healthy advising relationships, there islimited literature about its use at the graduate level in STEM.
