ethics and ethical frameworks. With the knowledge gainedfrom this research, first-year engineering programs can better explore how incoming students viewdecision-making and design more effective instructional practices. BackgroundIntroductionEthics is the “standards of conduct that apply to everyone” [1]. It is the difference between rightand wrong. People use ethics to determine how to act when confronted with any situation; askingquestions such as “who will this benefit?”, “who will this harm?”, and “what are theconsequences?”. However, engineering ethics is different from everyday ethics. Engineeringethics are a set of professional ethics, or “those special morally permissible standards of conductthat

Methodology and Instrument A sequential explanatory mixed methods design was used for this study [30]. This two-phase methodology was best suited to this research because synthesis of the quantitative surveywith the themes discovered from the qualitative data analysis lead to answers to the researchquestions. In this sequential explanatory design, the quantitative survey
presentation of the team’s workRole of the team facilitatorsA total of 7 facilitators worked with 3 to 6 teams. Facilitators were either engineering faculty (2),graduate engineering students (2), or professional engineers with at least 5 years’ experience (3).Two of the facilitators were in Lebanon, the rest were US-based. Facilitators met for 1 hour onceper week to coordinate activities and share best practices. The role of the facilitator was two-fold: to help the communication among the team, and to act as a technical mentor aiding the teamin the completion of their design project.Data CollectionThe purpose of this assessment project is to determine if a short-term, multinational, virtual teamexperience will enable students to work effectively as a

The production of forty hours of video materials for the class was an enormousinvestment of time and effort. This class was only one of a number across the country that had todevelop these materials. The challenge is to decide how they to be used going forward. Thispaper recommends that this material and others at other schools be reviewed for best practicesand value. These materials would then ideally be available from the ASEE EngineeringEconomics division on a non-commercial basis. Individual instructors would be able to sharethese materials and tailor them to their specific program
implementation among Architecture, Engineering,and Construction (AEC) Programs. Researchers have also identified best practices/proceduresimplemented in construction-specific courses to enhance student learning [18, 19]. Researchershave also depicted how new content areas (such as Sustainability, Building Performance, andBuilding Information Modeling) can be implemented using the OLE [20-22]. Thus, one can arguethat educators in the construction programs across the US were familiar with the OLE to a certaindegree. However, in March 2020, almost all universities within the US began calling for closuresand moving to OLE [23]. The transition to OLE was sudden for both the students and educators,especially for educators and programs where face-to-face

efficient in learning. All together with using active learning, instructors mustalso consider the ‘Student Resistance to Active Learning’ which remains a new area of interest forengineering education research [12]. ‘Student Resistance to Active Learning’ may be reduced byemploying the strategies proposed in literature such as varying the teaching methods usedthroughout the course and making and using a public grading rubric for students to avoidperception of grading unfairness, just to mention few [13-14]. Although, this paper focused on thedifferences in student expectations on the efficacy of instructional practices, the impact of thosechanges on the learning outcomes is yet to be determined and is the focus of our future work.References[1
pushes students to their creative limits through the use of open-ended projects in which realistic, complex, challenging state-of-the-art problems are investigated. This new approach will increase student enthusiasm and provide closer alignment of classroom topics with today’s standard industry practice. This paper will deal with a unique application of the research/teaching method used at the undergraduate level, using a hands-on laboratory approach in conjunction with classroom lecture. The approach can be tailored to all levels from introductory freshman to senior-level classes. An open-ended project is utilized, requiring a creative approach for its solution. Faculty and students are both learners and investigators, formulating and solving
objectives. Attainment of these outcomes prepares graduates toenter the professional practice of engineering. There are seven student outcomes: 1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics 2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors 3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences 4. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of
Education 2program accreditation. Namely, the faculty should all participate in the continuous improvementprocess which is a requirement for accreditation. In some cases, ABET reviewers have asked basicquestions about the accreditation process to a wide range of faculty, especially new AssistantProfessors, who have taught core engineering courses. These courses invariably have a linking ofthe course objectives, course learning outcomes and the ABET student outcomes. These coursesmay not be Senior Design, but they do contribute to the attainment of student outcomes that areexpected by the time of graduation. The skills, knowledge and behaviors that students acquire arethroughout the engineering
outreach, the first-year engineering experience, and incorporating innovation and entrepreneurship practice in the engineering classroom.

Thepaper concludes with a summary of student recognition of the impact of the interventions in theirlives.IntroductionEngineering students begin working with simple mathematical models in their first math andscience courses. As they progress in school, the models become more involved, as does themathematics. By the time a student graduates and enters engineering practice, they should beexperts in, or at the very least comfortable with, the development of mathematical models andcapable of solving many physical problems. Wankat and Oreovicz suggest that obtaining‘expert’ status takes a decade
