schools is in its early development. The report, Engineeringin K-12 Education, recently released by the National Academy of Engineering and NationalResearch Council6 provided a very insightful view of engineering education in K-12. The reportclaimed three principles for K-12 engineering education. First, it believed K-12 engineeringeducation should emphasize engineering design. Second, K-12 engineering should incorporateimportant science, mathematics, and technology concepts and skills. Finally, K-12 engineeringshould align with 1) systems thinking, 2) creativity, 3) optimism, 4) collaboration, 5)communication, and 6) attention to ethical considerations to promote engineering “habits of mind”(pp. 4-6). In summary, the report concluded there is no

Ford Donald Peterson issued an edict toFord engineers that they should design to a target value and not hide behind broad specification Page 25.1085.3limits. Also, it can be fathomed that this lesson was conveyed to the manufacturing shop floorASEE 2012 Annual Conference 2that when a target dimension has been specified by design, they should aim to get as close to it aspossible, and not convert it into a bilateral or goal-post tolerance.Specifying Manufacturing Tolerances for Precision Assemblies:For precision assemblies, tolerancing is always unilateral since it is based on limits and fits, andwith a definite fit in mind, a

Students should gain hands-on experiences (e.g., interdisciplinary projects, labwork, and internships); should cultivate practical skill sets such as financial analysis andbudgeting skills; should enroll in project management courses; and should increase theirawareness of commercialization. Institutions should create workshops with industryprofessionals or bring in industrial representatives to interact with students; should emphasizerigor in students’ communication skills; should help students to keep the end goal in mind;should assist students in the cultivation of a result-oriented mindset; should engage students inboth research-based and

complement traditional classroom lectures is twofold: 1) they provide away for students to visualize the phenomena about which they are learning, lowering thecognitive load of the lesson; and 2) they also provide professors with an opportunity to havestudents work in groups. The first point is mostly intuitive. If students must visualize in theirown minds the phenomena taking place, they must exert extra effort they could be spending onsolving problems or exploring the topics in more detail. This also leads to misconceptions, asstudents likely will not have a complete model of the phenomena with their current knowledgeand will need a form of reference material to avoid making mistakes. This is often why, in atraditional engineering class, students

Otherconcepts come to mind—public health and safety, quality, usefulness, efficiency, cost/risk/benefit analysis, environmental harm, truthfulness, trustworthiness, loyalty and so on which arecommon in all engineering professional ethics.Many of these concepts are sometimes confusing and conflicting. Engineering math cannot beused to solve these problems to get the right answer. So, how we can help students to deal withethical disagreement, ambiguity, and vagueness? It is always part of real life that somedisagreement and uncertainty can be expected and should be tolerated, but majority’s view is theacceptable one although in many cases it may not be true (Harris et al 1996).There are additional goals of teaching ethics as well.

Can a Freshman Seminar Serve as an Attractor Course? Benson H. Tongue Department of Mechanical Engineering University of California Berkeley, CA 94720Fundamental changes in student preparation are forcing departments at Berkeley to recon-sider their approach to undergraduate education. Simply stated, the word“recruitment” hasnow entered the undergraduate program’s vocabulary. In the past, one expected students todeclare their major during the high school application phase, marking them as future me-chanical engineers before they ever stepped foot on campus. Although this route certainlyis still used, the last few

in mind, an engineering technical writing class was used to further examine theevolving landscape of academic writing and detect the domains in which students and educatorscan appropriately utilize AI tools. In this regard, several writing tasks were outlined, whereinundergraduate engineering students were asked to write with and without AI’s assistance in orderto explore the pros and cons of using natural language processing (NLP) models for technicalwriting and gauge the interest and enthusiasm of students in utilizing AI tools. Then, acomprehensive comparative analysis was conducted to analyze several factors including writingstyle, the structure of paragraphs, the accuracy of numerical data, and the empathetic language ofthe essays

Leaders in engineering organizations play a significant role inshaping work spaces, environments, policies, cultures, values, and social norms [10]. It isessential for inclusive leaders to be mindful of the cultures they are perpetuating and seek todevelop a culture of belonging where all individuals, regardless of identity or privilege, believethey can thrive [10]. Inclusive CulturesWorkplace cultures and environments can greatly impact performance, productivity, efficiency,teamwork, communication, collaboration, job satisfaction, employee engagement, stress, andburnout and even retention [12].
