different levels of software testing, such as unit, integra- tion, functional, acceptance testing, and regression testing during software development 5. Describe the ethical issues related to software testingStudents are assessed using various assignments, exams, quizzes, activities, and a semester-longgroup project. The grading scheme for the course (100%) is estimated to be: quizzes/activities/discussions(10%-30%), the group project (10%-40%), and exams (30%-60%). Note that in some years, thegrading scheme would change slightly depending on the approach used for the project. The text-book currently used in the course is “A Practitioners Guide to Software Test Design” by Lee [22].Other reading materials include class notes and tutorials on

In lieu of a formal training, participants will be provided information on the goalsof the study, data collection process, goals of photovoice research, and ethical considerations forpartaking in a photovoice study via the study informed consent form, a photovoice fact sheet,and virtual instructions.Theoretical Frameworks Used in the StudyThree theoretical frameworks are leveraged in this work. The first is Ecological Systems Theory(EST). This framework helps to situates individuals within the context of their localenvironment(s), global

perception is prevalent among engineering professionals(Faulkner, 2007). When mapped onto a space such as a classroom or professor’s office hours orstudent group project meeting, the techno-social dualism may cause conversations and discourseto center around technical issues instead of social issues such as ethics, diversity/inclusion, andmental health as an engineering student. These forms of discourse lead to what Cech (2014) callsthe culture of disengagement, where she finds that engineering students are less concerned withpublic welfare issues as they get socialized to the profession. This is not to say that the culturalscript of primarily centering discourse around technical issues in engineering spaces dictates thekinds of conversations that

The researcher conducted verbal member checks with the studentsin the late afternoon on the last day of the pilot and written member checks with the Femineer®teachers and instructor two weeks after the pilot. Member checks enable feedback from theparticipants in the study to gain their insight to see if the researcher captured all of the dataaccurately [40].Ethics The IRB (IRB-18-139) approved this study as full board review. All participants in thestudy were given an informed consent form that addressed the details of the study. The consentforms were

In school, that was math and science, so I wanted something where I could use my strengths in my career.Kelsea was also motivated by the possibility that she would be able to make a difference bymajoring in engineering: “Related to helping others, I wanted to see what personal impact Icould have on society…like through invention in engineering.” She said that her “stronger-than-normal work ethic” and “diligence” helped her succeed in her

There is a big difference between you could use this unit operation or that unit being an advocate for something, and being a operation. And I said, well how about the policies policy wonk. A policy wonk has to sometimes that create cheap corn? When we have cheap corn, swallow their personal preference because they are then we have cheap beef, and therefore we have addressing something a bureaucrat or a politician more CAFOs. So, actually the tax on corn is just wants them to accomplish. Now you don’t set as important as the unit operation to get rid of aside your ethics and values, but you do have to methane. And
numerical methods into one course while keeping students engaged,and (2) infusion of liberal arts into math-heavy curriculum by facilitating conversations about thehistorical, ethical and societal aspects of computing. The PSS approach was leveraged tointroduce undergraduate engineering students to the contributions of scientists, mathematiciansand engineers from traditionally underrepresented groups. In class, students are tasked withexploring an open-ended problem with the goal of learning a fundamental numerical methodsconcept. The problem is contextualized with a real-world application and used to highlight theachievement of an underrepresented STEM figure that links to the concept. Students then workin groups of two while problem complexity

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Uneven Playing Field: Examining Preparation for Technical Interviews in Computing and the Role of Cultural ExperiencesAbstractWhile starting a career may be challenging in any field, in computing the process tends to beaggravated by requirements of digital portfolios and technical interviews that necessitate codingextemporaneously. During the programming components, candidates are expected to offer asolution, while also giving consideration to the choice of algorithm and its time complexity.Although
must be prepared for engineering practice through the curriculum culminating in a major design experience based on the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work and incorporating engineering standards and realistic constraints that include most of the following considerations: economic; environmental; sustainability; manufacturability; ethical; health and safety; social; and political. The professional component must include (a) one year of a combination of college level mathematics and basic sciences (some with experimental experience) appropriate to the discipline (b) one and one-half years of engineering topics, consisting of engineering sciences and engineering design
engineering programs [4].Significance and impactChanges in the ABET accreditation criteria for engineering education also indicate a significantneed for educational reform. The new criteria include a need to demonstrate training andexperience in areas specific to design methodology. These skill requirements, such as teamwork,technical communication, economics and ergonomics of system or product design, civicengagement and ethics, reveal that the mere acquisition of technical knowledge is insufficient fora robust, modern engineering education [2].Goals and objectivesThere are several core goals involved in this paper, all centered on improving student experience,learning, and satisfaction in undergraduate education.
