unfamiliarity of students withconcepts of other disciplines, and the lack of students’ awareness of the hands-on nature ofcapstone courses and the expectations associated with these courses. Also, the unfamiliarity ofinstructors with the abilities, work ethics, and personal issues of the current cohort of studentswithin the class makes it harder to assign students to teams.This paper introduces the notion of Mini-Projects within a capstone course as applied forstudents in the Department of Electrical, Computer, Software, and Systems Engineering atEmbry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Mini-Projects are small projects that aim at introducingstudents to basic concepts of different engineering disciplines, while at the same time provideinstructors with

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
found in any engineering program and can be mappeddirectly to courses that are very similar from program to program.4 However, the “soft”outcomes raise some interesting questions. These soft skills as stated in the a-k Student Page 25.1246.2Outcomes include: (d) an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams (f) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility (g) an ability to communicate effectively (h) the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context (i) a recognition of the need for, and an
understanding of the relationship of electrical science Page 25.1255.4and technology to other disciplines and relevant ethical, social, cultural, historical andpolitical issues; 2) a substantive knowledge of the essential concepts, controversies andareas of exploration of a specialized topic in electrical science and technology; 3) anability to critique scientific and technological arguments and claims in oral and writtenpresentations.” To show how these objectives are fulfilled, the following two paragraphswill provide overall course layout, approach to the topic, activities assigned and methodsof assessment. After that, this section will describe more
engineering itself. 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

Don’t be confrontational unless the importance or ethics of the issue demands it.Don’t hold grudges. Be willing to apologize. On the other hand, if the issue does deserve it,stand your ground but as diplomatically as possible. Don’t be gullible or a “pushover” on issuesof real importance.25.

Demonstrate the systematic thought processes used in engineering design thinking and assessment of current industry practice. 2. Apply the engineering problem solving approach to practitioner problems. 3. Identify a need and define a problem, its objectives, and constraints from real-world business challenges. 4. Implement key steps in ‘engineering problem solving to evaluate possible solution taking into consideration broad problem constraints including economic, environment, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability. 5. Develop a detailed plan for deployment of
additional sources of critical consciousness developmentinto the curriculum, enabling a more comprehensive evaluation of students' change over time.Although Castaneda’s (2019) results were counter-intuitive, it does not negate the fact thatengineers can benefit from the development of critical consciousness. 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

Thesedisciplines were strategically chosen based on the principal investigators’ home departments asproposed in the larger study from which this research is a part. 115 students participated in thereflection activities. The study was conducted in accordance with ethical guidelines and hasreceived approval from the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of the University. The studyprotocol underwent rigorous review by the IRB to ensure the protection of participants' rights,safety, and confidentiality. Measures were implemented to uphold ethical standards throughoutthe research process, including obtaining informed consent from

This process, fromopen coding to thematic structuring, allowed for an in-depth exploration of team dynamicswithin the REU program.3.4 Ethical and Trustworthiness ConsiderationsTo ensure the ethical integrity of the study, informed consent was obtained from all participants.The data was anonymized to protect the identity of the participants and stored securely on Box.To enhance the trustworthiness of the findings, an additional coder was enlisted to conductinitial coding and analysis and participate in peer debriefing and inter-rater reliability (IRR)analysis. The IRR analysis measured the degree of agreement among the coders in applying thecodes and

The integration of ethics is also an ill-structured aspect of the problem, especiallysince meeting the 20% weight reduction is a stretch goal, which the instructor is aware of but thestudents are not. 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.

The overarching objective of these research activities was threefold:1) to cultivate an understanding of how scientists and engineers conduct their research, 2) to exposeparticipants to engineering research, and 3) to generate heightened interest in STEM fields.Engineering Scholars successfully achieved these research goals through collaborative efforts withresearch faculty mentors from both FCC and CSU-F.Notably, workshops on remote sensing prompted students to contemplate local communities andthe environment, preparing them to create posters on natural disasters. These posters wereshowcased at the 63rd Annual Geomatics Engineering Conference (Jan 24 - 25, 2024) at

There are numerous calls(e.g., [1] - [5]) for engineering education to help students develop what we refer to as sociallyengaged engineering skills - which relate to conducting engineering work from a holistic andinclusive perspective by gathering, utilizing, and equitably applying rich and diverse contextualinformation about stakeholders, communities, ethics, the environment, and economic factors.Engineering training, long rooted in technocentric views about the nature of work in the field,has typically stressed the development of technical competencies while underemphasizingsocially engaged aspects of

Although the timing of thecourse offering was a pragmatic reason for starting with these students, they were also our desiredstarting point given their time and experience in an engineering program.The survey was formulated to ask questions that did not focus on program-specific issues such asduration of study, academic expectations, and course difficulty.
