The research was focused on aqualitative understanding of the StrengthsFinder signature themes of first-year engineeringstudents, and whether or not this understanding could be used in any practical way.III. DATA COLLECTIONThe logistics of the research project were more challenging than initially expected. Before theonline survey could be conducted, university policy21 necessitated that a research ethics proposalhad to be written and approved. Each of the students had to sign a consent form to release thesurvey results for use in this

The result of this novel approach to integrating softwareengineering concepts into a curriculum is the infusion of new approaches to realizingeducational goals in both software engineering and non-software engineering areas throughoutthe curriculum.State of the fieldThe “across the curriculum” paradigm is well recognized. One of the best-known examples isthat of writing across the curriculum, which has been influential in higher education for anumber of years. A number of efforts have specifically addressed computing curricula. Arnowet al.1 describe teaching distributed computing across the computing curriculum. An NSF-funded effort toward development of teaching social impact and ethics across the computingcurriculum spans a

. Academia must ask questions everywhere,of everyone who has perspective on the institutions into which their students will findjobs. Only then can academia hope to understand what needs to be taught in order toeffect real and substantive change. In this way academic institutions can refrain fromusurping the primary customer’s functional needs.I propose continuation of “the basics” of engineering education. To be an industry leaderin the engineering world requires the fundamental understanding of engineeringprinciples. I do suggest, however, that the remaining coursework be less tailored torandom electives and more towards coursework on leadership, ethics, philosophy,technology forecasting and history of American industry

Like Castaneda’s (2019) work Trbušić (2014) proposed that reforming engineeringeducation involves examining and critically questioning engineering curricula and practices. Thegoal of the work was to introduce a critical pedagogical approach to foster conscientizationamong engineers, enhancing their ethical acumen by raising awareness about a wide range ofpressing issues such as sustainability, environmental protection, poverty eradication

In resolving ill-structured aspects present and emergent in the problem, studentsnecessarily participate in actions that constitute problem framing.Like the previous problem, resolving complexity is reflected in actions of decomposing the pedal-crank system into individual components that can be analyzed as part of the redesign process.Eventually, complexity is further resolved in synthesizing changes to individual components tounderstand the impact at the system level.
