cited at the graduate level, particularly the PhD. Most commonly, a PhD degree inengineering focuses on advancing theory and applying findings to a practical problem (Barbieri,Vaidyanathan, & Peterson, 2012). Scholars also suggest that design at the PhD level must bebroader than traditional engineering disciplines, incorporating more history, philosophy, ethics,cultural studies, and politics (Meyer & Norman, 2020). Research is a fundamental component of any PhD. With a growing and maturing designresearch discipline, scholars have suggested that the focus of a design PhD can include: researchon design methods and processes, improved understanding of engineering practice, ways toincrease product development performance, and

This idea-to-3D print project tasks the student designer with leaning into theirown culture to design home décor items inspired by their personal background. Students areencouraged to embrace cultural traits in their design, such as nationality, family structures,community, aesthetics (art, architecture, music, dance), cuisine, mythology, ethics, manners,festivals and holidays, and fashion. Cultural aspects should be meticulously used to influence thedesign, usage, and purpose of the product from the conceptual stage of design, rather than assuperficial or last-minute additions.

Using CCW is an avenue to conduct asset-based research, which highlights the strengths of students rather than weaknesses. This criticaland assets-based approach makes explicit the strengths and assets of communities, in this casewithin makerspaces. CCW can frame the experiences of students who might not always be seenthrough an explicit and purposeful focus on assets they bring into the space. This is apersonalized approach to understand the student staff’s experience as opposed to the neutraloutputs of their experience such as what they are creating or how many machines they are usingin the space.Research Question: What are the assets student staff

However, these solutions may not be effective in real situations, whereinfluences like stakeholder issues or ethics concerns can make a technically optimized problemuseless. In addition, instructors who fear overwhelming students (particularly first year students)or having problems that are too difficult to tackle often remove the context [11]. However,situated problems support students to contextualize their place within the learning environment[12] as well as the larger community [13], which in turn supports their identity development [9].This is particularly important for minoritized students who can better identify with being anengineering professional [14].How do

critically develop their ownvalues. The final orientation of values pluralism is that all of engineering cannot be summed upwith a unified purpose [6]. The final area of empathy in engineering is a professional way of being, comprised ofthree topics with many ties to engineering ethics. Service to society describes a broadening of thetraditional ideas of economic development and expansion to include a deeper consideration ofhuman and nonhuman impacts of engineering. Dignity and worth of all stakeholders opens theidea of what is traditionally considered to be a stakeholder to include the natural environment.Engineers as whole professionals questions the assumption that engineers can be entirelyimpartial in their work, but instead that they

Some participantsdeveloped lab report assessment rubrics using the instructor’s guide. Although there was avariation among the materials after instructors had access to the guides, all the participating labinstructors updated their lab instructional materials to use the terms and concepts introduced inthe guides and adjusted their instructional content to consider students’ prior knowledge.1. IntroductionEngineering labs offer unique engineering experiences to students, ranging from hands-onexperiments to safety and ethics [1]. Teaching engineering labs provides unique pedagogicalopportunities for lab instructors; however, it is
objectives andconstraints [2]. Often, students are required to balance several, at times competing, objectives. Aclassic example in mechanical applications is a high-strength, low-density material. Aside fromthe technical feasibility of the design project, students are also forced to consider businessfeasibility, environmental impacts, social, political, and ethical implications, manufacturability,and unintended consequences.Additionally, accreditation by ABET is only possible if ABET’s Criterion 5d is satisfied wherethe engineering curriculum must include “a culminating major engineering design experiencethat 1) incorporates appropriate engineering standards and multiple constraints, and 2) is basedon the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier
ethical dilemmas, and students had to dealwith factors such as working to deadlines, resolving disagreements, and continuously refiningsolutions. The author found that the “hands-on” and “real-world” situations that the role-playsituation afforded were particularly pedagogically valuable for engineering education students.In the realm of a computer systems analysis and design course in a New Zealand bachelorprogram, Erturk (2015) explored two class sessions that involved students producing Data FlowDiagrams and Activity Diagrams, where the intention was to demonstrate their analysis of asoftware “case” by constructing, reviewing, critiquing, and reflecting on the diagrams. The role-play dimension required students to explain and “act out” their
its use, higher education institutions must consider future assessment of studentwork [5]. One study that investigated the ethical ramifications on student use of AI in anengineering course revealed the potential benefits of utilizing AI as a form of collaboration [6].Some of the listed benefits include: the ability for a student to discuss a topic with a veryknowledgeable machine partner, a means for efficient research of a particular topic, and thepossibility to operate as a programming assistant due to the well-commented codegenerated.The integration of technology and innovative approaches in education has the potential to enhancethe way engineering students learn. Today’s students benefit from technological advancementsthat allow them a

The material in the course is monitoredby the university and students across the university take a similar course across other divisions ofthe university. Although some engineering faculty have taught the course in the past, morerecently, professional advisors in the college of engineering or staff directly connected with thecollege have taught the course. The course does discuss engineering ethics

Participate in workshops to develop research skills: Workshops, webinars, and online courses offered by professional societies, institutions, and other training academies are available. The institution should support their faculty to utilize these opportunities. This training would be valuable for learning the appropriate use of digital library, scientific journal editing and publication procedures, use of available content for scientific research purposes, research report/ grant writing skills, and project management. ii.

Afew of the many examples of successful mentoring are faculty-led programs that helpundergraduates with technical, ethical and professional problems [1]; the creation of graduatestudent communities as mentoring groups [2,3]; the mentoring of new graduate studentinstructors by existing graduate student instructors [4]; undergraduate student mentoring oftransfer students who are new to STEM [5] and residential peer mentoring of early engineeringstudents and at-risk students by upper-level undergraduates [6].In 2021, the Ralph E. Martin Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Arkansas(U of A) created an undergraduate mentoring program using departmental alumni as career pathidentification as well as professional
and social science courses intheir curriculum, wondering whether a direct focus on technical subjects is more beneficial.However, a comprehensive education is crucial for addressing complex engineering challenges.Engineers need to be well-rounded professionals, equipped not only with technical competencebut also critical thinking, ethical skills, cultural understanding, and awareness of the socialimpact of their work. We propose an approach that infuses historical figures (mathematician,scientists, engineers) and case studies into two junior level engineering courses to address thisconcern.In this paper, we investigate the impact of introducing historical figures and unique case studiesinto engineering courses. Selected historical figures and
Knowledge creation and synthesis are the core of research. How we engage in research orknowledge creation is deeply intertwined with our experiences and the language we use to makesense of the world around us. For us, the co-authors of this paper, the triad concept of Kaya(Body), Vacha (Speech), and Manas (Mind) in the Indian philosophy of ethics and spiritualitypoints to the interdependence of experience, language, and knowledge.

In the engineeringcurriculum for the first year, students take two 3-credit hour courses over two semesters. Eachcourse is structured around providing students with significant design experience. Students arerequired to actively participate in team-based projects in addition to engaging in differentfundamental content areas such as design process, ethics, algorithmic thinking, modeling,statistics, statics, and electricity. At the start of each semester, student teams of three or fourmembers are formed by the teaching team, considering factors such as prior experiences,knowledge, and demographics.This research investigated the relationship
