from using concepts in kinetics and kinematics in an application that also trainsthem on business planning, cost analysis of new biotechnology and market analysis. There is a need tointroduce engineers to the entrepreneurial mindset which can help to engage students in the course materialand become more curious about the world around them. This paper aims to demonstrate how a semester-long human body motion analysis project can teach innovation and business skills in the engineeringclassroom through the use of an entrepreneurially minded learning (EML) module.IntroductionIt is valuable to implement entrepreneurial mindset in the undergraduate engineering classroom. Often,entrepreneurship courses are taught by business programs and do not focus

While this method of learning can bedirectly applied to engineering education environments, the experimental framework wasdeveloped for students with no required specialized knowledge to make the lesson activitiesaccessible to a variety of audiences. Unfortunately, the study was disrupted by the COVID-19pandemic and the team was unable to conduct in-person experiments as planned. Instead, theteam conducted a remote pilot test.MethodsTwo examples from a typical Engineering Statics course (moment of force, and friction of asliding block) were selected to model in the haptic environment.

use in multiple contexts (c.f., Rodell, 2013; Colquitt etal., 2019). The original instrument uses four subscales, procedural, distributive, interpersonal, andinformational justice. However, Colquitt and Roddell (2015) suggest a two-factor solution that collapsesinterpersonal and informational into distributed and procedural is also acceptable. In our survey,students responded to the derivative instrument for three different contexts: (1) Courses they had takenin previous semesters, (2) Their capstone course, and (3) Their TechCom course. We plan a moreextensive reporting of the instruments’ development and validity in future work that is not possible in aWIP.In addition to the grading justice and fairness instrument, we asked two additional

These two research findings suggest that culturally responsive teachingin HSIs should necessarily involve both cognitive and cultural congruence, i.e., both theintentional deployment of culturally congruent learning situations where Latinx students feelthey are a validated part of the learning community, as well as active learning strategies thatboost students’ cognitive engagement with content and improve academic performance.The recent COVID-19 pandemic and the resultant online learning environment that many HSIswere forced to implement threw a wrench into the planning of even the most dedicated culturallyresponsive instructors. Especially concerning for HSI instructors was a trend that Latinx andURM learners are less successful

reaching students. The problem arises when most of the studentswe teach are not thinking rationally, but emotionally. Most engineeringeducators have noticed how “non-traditional” students (older) tend to do betteron the average than more traditional students (younger). This paper deals with technics to rationally reach emotional thinkingstudents. One popular television commercial says, “People won’t rememberwhat you said, but they will always remember how you made them feel.” Asengineering educators, we need to set up our lesson plans to emotionally connectwith students (engage their feelings).Introduction Human brain development is not a uniform process.

Accreditation Commission of ABET, Inc. The Biomedical Engineering and Software Engineering programs are preparing for accreditation in the next review cycle. Also, a special interdisciplinary General Engineering program is offered that is not accredited. At SJSU, BS Engineering programs are treated as accredited, since all programs are designed with assessment and accreditation in mind. Rationalization for the Course Sequence: The 120 Unit Plan Discussions of reduction in units to earn a baccalaureate degree have occurred within the California State University (CSU) system since the 1990’s. Much progress was made to reduce programs in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s. By 2008 approximately 81% of degree programs met the 120-unit

While some generalizations can be drawnfrom existing literature, it is important to know what, if any, gender-based differences existamong engineering faculty regarding the use of student-centered strategies and attitudesregarding those strategies.MethodologyThis study was conducted to
