Data from these teachers and their studentswere collected; however, results are not publicly available for privacy reasons [9]. Of particular interest is a study on practicing teachers taking a graduate course onbridging engineering and education. The specific purpose of this course was to improve the self-efficacy of the teachers for teaching engineering through discussion of readings, working insmall teams on engineering activities, and a final design capstone project [8].

Our experience on the use of social networks has encompassed avariety of platforms including Facebook, Twitter, and Google+. We have used the platforms ona diverse set of courses in computer science, including courses on data structures, softwarearchitectures, web services, and the senior design/senior capstone where we have providedstudents with learning experiences that are not only relevant in the classroom but also closelymodel workplace activities. Based on our experience, we have categorized the strengths andweaknesses of using different social networks by looking at generic activities that

Some ofthe past students projects include designing and building of wind tunnel models, 3-D aerospacemodels, variable pitch thrust measurement apparatus, flight simulation frame, water tunnel etc.All of these products become part of the aerospace laboratory to be used by future students.Project based learning at the individual course level is familiar in engineering education. It isused almost universally in capstone design and laboratory courses. There has been growingfrequency of project based learning approach in first year engineering courses and courses thatengage students in consulting projects [5, 7]. Because of its

A good example of this type of trip is aninitiative in the aerospace engineering department at Arizona State Univerisity – studentsfrom ASU collaborate with students from ITESM’s Monterrey campus to complete theirSenior Design projects.

Direct measures ofassessment provide for the direct examination or observation of student knowledge or skillsagainst measurable performance criteria. These would include such instruments as writtenexams, oral exams, embedded questions in exams and assignments, portfolio analysis,papers/writing samples, simulated activities/case-studies, capstone projects, inside and outsideexaminers, and internship experiences. Indirect measures of assessment ascertain the opinion orself-report of the extent or value of learning experiences. Some examples of indirect measures of
Critical EngagementIn this study, students were invited to participate in a survey to share their experiences using AItools during one semester in four courses. Thirty-five (35) Computer and Electrical Engineering(CEE) students at the University of Wisconsin-Stout responded to the survey describing their useof AI tools such as ChatGPT in their studies. The group included 15 sophomores and 20 seniorsenrolled in 4 different CEE courses titled “CEE-215 Electronics”, “CEE-405 Capstone I:Computer Engineering Design”, “CEE-410 Capstone II: Computer Engineering Design”, and“CEE-355 Applied Electromagnetics”. The survey featured nine questions, seven using a Likertscale to measure students' opinions about AI tools in their education. The Likert scale
application of relevant standards and design codes is integrated into project work and design theory. Section2A.23 deals with industrial relations and asks programs to describe any participation in “multi-stakeholder forums for the developmentof technical standards, codes, regulations or guidelines.” Programs must provide, as part of the sections dealing with facultyinformation, information on memberships in standards developing organizations and on participation on standards developmentcommittees. There are no comparable specific requests in the ABET self-study guidance [7]Canadian engineering colleges are asked to provide information relating to staff participation in standards development work at thenational or international level.
