students. Streaming anddownloading, whether legally or illegally, is the go-to format for the current generation of musicconsumers. Physical copies of music are largely not in demand, with the exception of certaingenres of music like heavy metal. It is thus helpful for students to learn where their currentforms of music enjoyment came from, and how they have evolved to where they are today. Thecourse has thus expanded the music acquisition topics to include the impacts of the internet onmusicians, record labels, and consumers, as well as ethical and legal arguments that have arisen.In a similar way, music creation has also been changed forever by the online technologies thatnow exist. In order to make a recording of music, musicians of the past

expected. However, the workloads were judged to be heavy as the studentswere required to not only become familiar with the idea of a real-time operating system, but werealso being asked (some for the first time) to implement a complex hardware system on a shorttimetable. The students during this term dealt with high stress levels as they moved deeper intothe material. For some students, the high stress situations led to a stronger work ethic and anincreased sense of team responsibility. For others, it deepened the divide between members oftheir team who seemed more ahead of the curve and members who seemed to be lagging behindor not pulling their weight. This had an obvious impact on the final product that was eventuallydelivered. During

engineering departments themselves remain pri-marily concerned with how design directly impacts their teaching and interactions with students.As architects, engineers, and planners for more than a dozen collegiate engineering-departmentbuildings in the past decade, SmithGroupJJR has helped develop a series of best practices re-lated to facility design in this new era. While not the only firm to explore them, SmithGroupJJRhas organized these new best practices into five distinct trends that encourage active participa-tion, collaboration, and even spontaneity, reflecting an underlying ethic of student engagementfrom the freshman level up. We present them here, provide real-world examples from Smith-GroupJJR’s portfolio, and also propose methods of

This paper presents our study with differentlab delivery formats, including preparation, implementation, survey data, observations, andfindings.Course BackgroundIntroduction to Engineering in our institution is a 3 credit course. The course includes one 1-hourlecture, and two 2-hour labs/week. In the lecture, students develop the skills needed during theirstudy of engineering. Topics include task/time management, effective use of notes, engineeringresearch, oral and written communications, problem-solving techniques, ethics and professionalresponsibility and institute resources. In the laboratory, students work in teams to complete avariety of engineering tasks.Each class is set to 85 students maximum. The lecture is held at a

becoming increasingly common in the engineering education field.The field of Science and Technology studies has explored these interconnections for years.Thought leaders Baillie and Vanasupa design contextualized concepts for materials sciencestudents that introduce materials characterization, semiconductors, polymers, composites, andother common material science topics [5]. Others seek to bring sustainable engineering practicesinto the materials science classroom with short modules over the semester, a model much likethose presented in greater detail in this paper [6]. Some develop full courses that blendtechnology in materials science with ethics and social responsibility [7-9].The integration of the social and technical is also valued by ABET

At the end of the course the student will be able to understandand apply qualitative research methods to inform innovative design solutions. The focus of thecourse is to prepare students to face ill-defined issues using tools to understand the humaninterface and culture and to synthesize in innovative opportunities; to identify a qualitativeresearch question; to detect and delimit opportunities for innovation using tools to tackle ill-defined issues and imperfect knowledge; and to develop an ethical standpoint and criticalthinking on the social responsibilities of an engineer-designer” (Pontifia Universidad Católica,2018).

Analysis of data has highlighted some key shortcomings of engineeringstudents with respect to requirements of professional careers. Areas for improvement includecommunication and teamwork skills, awareness of ethical, social, environmental and economicissues, and application of
veteran hiring as more charity than thestrategic boon that it is: 2) “I have worked as a recruiter that hired strictly veterans for manufacturing roles and have also been with two software companies that targeted veterans. I am also a veteran myself. I think the biggest challenge I've seen is convincing hiring managers to hire for soft skills (i.e. leadership, work ethic, etc.) when they're used to hiring for specific experience. Mentorship is also huge in the military. I was very used to my superior officers mentoring me, giving me books to read, always developing me professionally. I've personally had a lot of veterans voice their disappointment because they come to
