Goals and DescriptionsProgram GoalsOur engineering school is committed to creating leaders who thrive at acquiring and applying theknowledge required to solve global challenges. Using a variety of innovative programs andcourses, we teach engineers to tackle large, complex problems using a human-centered designprocess. These programs and courses emphasize real-world experience and outcomes, and ourstudents, from first-year to graduate students, deliver solutions to real clients while consideringsocial context and impact. Our programs teach students how to better serve society, and byoffering such opportunities, we help retain socially-minded students within engineering. Ourcurrent initiatives include efforts to not only add depth to our programs
education ofengineers for decades, and we will continue to be in this struggle for the long haul. Now is thetime for us (once again) to organize, to build coalitions, and to leverage all of our socialanalytical ability toward the effort of winning hearts and minds in support of the broad educationof engineers. What appeared to be consensus over EC2000 is now revealed to have been fragileat best, and we must work to strengthen and re-build this movement. I propose several ways inwhich the LEES Division can act as a clearinghouse with convening power to build coalitionsacross those who advocate for liberal education of engineers, across ASEE divisions, and acrossthe broader set of professional engineering societies, which comprise the membership of
inspired by their own interests. Additionally, the Summer Accelerator’s affiliationwith a university affords participants a glimpse into the real world of engineering, with studentsinteracting with graduate-level engineering students, touring the university Invention Studio, andworking with tools used by real engineers as they prototype their designs. Despite the differencesbetween Camp Invention and the Summer Accelerator, the positive evaluation findings fromCamp Invention suggest that week-long summer programs related to invention can demonstratepositive outcomes for students that mirror those seen in other STEM summer camps, as well asin year-long invention programs. With these findings in mind, the evaluation of the 2019Summer Accelerator was

Visualization encompasses at least the relation betweentwo-dimensional representations and real 3-D objects16 and the capability to relate and formimages connecting these two worlds17. Everyone involved in the design process agrees that theability to visualize is a vital skill and a new and effective method of teaching visualization mustbe found. Keeping in mind the rapid change in technology, some people focus on the conceptualaspect of the engineering and drafting process, and perceive the current CAD tools as draftinginstead of design tools10. Instructors fear that sustaining Computer Aided Drafting in designeducation will lead to the loss of hand drawing skills20.Benefits of Computer Aided DraftingThe benefits of

Educators areregularly developing or updating courses to tackle related issues. More specifically, educators inengineering disciplines continue to weave sustainability themes into their respective curricula, ordevelop stand-alone courses, to inspire the next generation of engineers to develop creativesolutions to complex problems.As this issue continues to be a global in its nature, many programs in the United States seek tobuild their courses with international partners in mind. There are examples of programs atColorado State University that have partnered
these engineering practices to apply and learnscience ideas.Framework for P12 Engineering LearningNature of engineering researchers argue that although the discipline draws on math and scienceknowledge, engineering has a unique theoretical knowledge base [13] - [17]. Several have raisedconcerns that the NGSS approach of teaching engineering as a set of practices createsmisconceptions [4], [10]. In response, the FPEL was released to provide a holistic view ofengineering learning as a distinct discipline outside of science and other subjects [10]. Theseinclude engineering practices, habits of mind, and knowledge. The FPEL recommends startingwith habits of mind in early grades, adding in engineering practices, and later helping studentsidentify

I was an avid listener and recalled thata constant mantra from hosts and pundits on the show was the need for better financial literacy.The podcast ended in 2018, but their persistent plea was planted in my mind. As we developed anew civil engineering program we had a blank slate, albeit with some ABET and many resourceconstraints, and we imagined many things to add to the program in addition to traditional civilengineering courses to better prepare graduates to enter the

For example, our students struggled with terms such as “addingmachine” versus “calculator” skewing interface descriptions from the original study’s results.Alternatively, there were questions that mirrored the interpretations and compatibility resultsfrom the original study, highlighting the convergence of some displays/interfaces across time,occupation, and gender.Ultimately, our data indicates a need to address two significant considerations in thedevelopment of engineering curriculum and training: 1) How does engineering as a disciplineteach rationality and uniformity of design in an increasing diverse engineering studentpopulation? 2) How do we educate future engineers to mind the user gap?

senior year, encountered mostly non-open-ended problems, with predominantly pre-defined, closed-form solution sets. Even more challenging for the industrial engineering population is thatthey tend to crave order, processes, lists, and procedures, either by self-selection into the major or throughinculcation. Once they arrive at capstone, they are commissioned to solve problems that don’t have anexplicit algorithm, list, or established process to solve them.Due to the real-world nature of senior capstone, in effect the students receive a blank sheet of paper,hearing “go figure out what the problem is –and solve it”. In addition to this, there are some sponsorswho may not respond very quickly, or change their minds, or receive the initial data and

(p 9).Therefore, the development and skill of empathizing with others, has become a necessity forfuture engineers to be successful in the workplace. With this necessity comes the need to designlearning experiences that encourage engineering students’ understanding of their users andstakeholders. According to a study conducted by Walther, Miller, and Kellam (2012), studentsneed “authentic” experiences in their engineering studies to develop and foster empathy [3]. Inthis paper, authentic experience will be defined as experience involving real-world contexts thatreflect the work of professionals.Service-learning in EngineeringService-learning strives to develop students into lifelong learners who are mindful of theircommunities and the world
