examining and creating a comprehensive roadmap for includinginnovative ideas and best practices in engineering curriculum enhancements.The opportunity for this workshop was created by a confluence of needs, resources, and interdisciplinaryinterests. Integrating previous experiences with service learning and social innovation learningopportunities, our interests matched NSF IUSE’s exploration and development (E&D) implementationframework. The workshop, funded by NSF, implemented and reflected the steps of design thinking asincreasing the engagement of students is a classic human-centered opportunity. This opportunity prioritizesthe engagement of the targeted stakeholders, rather than experts who are often at a distance from theproblems they seek

students in engineering education programs have typically been trained through ABET-accredited engineering programs. Despite ABET’s communication requirement, engineeringundergraduate students have limited opportunities to learn to write in their discipline [7]. Often,explicit writing instruction is limited to two courses: one in first-year writing, and one thatfocuses on engineering writing. The other writing engineering students do is integrated implicitlyin design and laboratory coursework. In these contexts, writing practices are often renderedinvisible as students are asked to fill forms, draw sketches, and incorporate appropriate equationsinto reports rather than write essays or reflections [6]. Instructors do not emphasize writingprocesses

anonline environment. To reflect the differences between online teaching during the pandemic andtraditional online teaching, remote instruction has been labelled emergency remote teaching(ERT) [2]. The abrupt and emergency nature of the transition to ERT (hereafter called remotelearning) has led to the notion that the quality of higher education decreased as a result of thepandemic. But, at the present time, insufficient evidence is available to assess to what degreehigher education and learning may have been compromised by the shift to remote learning. Earlyresearch assessing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on higher education in China andSouth Korea has found that students engaged in increased and proactive communication withpeers and

Survey: Self-efficacy statements regarding three different aspects of thecourse - statistics, RStudio, and theory - were included in the survey. Since each methodinvolved RStudio and theory, it was crucial to look at each of those measures in thesurvey. Likewise, quality control is part of the statistics curriculum for industrial andsystems engineering so we found it important to include a few statements on statisticsself-efficacy as well.A. Statistics self-efficacy: The survey asked students to reflect on their comfort with statistics as well as their feelings about learning more statistics.

. There is no substitute for that experience, so that is a loss plain and simple. However,we realized that the prototyping process in this course takes up about 1/3 of class time and onlygenerates two useful datapoints in testing: truss failure load and weight. Some would argue thisis a poor return on investment. Practically speaking, not being able to fabricate opened up a lot ofclass time.Upon a bit of reflection, the answer to what could fill this void was obvious. Undergraduateengineering design has by definition a strong theoretical and technical foundation, but design isfundamentally creative in that it starts with a problem (nothing) and generates a solution(something).

Attracting more women into the field has notyet been achieved, and their participation is still judged as insufficient by several authors [1].This fact is reflected initially in the low number of women enrolled in careers in the engineeringarea. If we specifically analyze the construction sector, it is not effective to push more women toenter these careers since the percentage of women employed in construction is proportional toincome. The probability that they will finish the degree and serve the
