Second, liberal artseducation focuses on cultivating adaptive problem-solving skills based on critical thinking,collaboration, and effective communication. These skills make students valuable collaborators inengineering projects and afford them a smooth transition into professional life [3]. That means aliberal arts education can potentially lead to a successful engineering career.In the meantime, the integration of engineering education into liberal arts universities posesseveral challenges to the engineering faculty members. For instance, faculty members may lackthe knowledge needed to

These attainments may not be directly related to a specific technical area,but do associate with skills essential for students to become engineers.5,6Over several years, Cal Poly Pomona’s civil engineering program has focused student learningassessment on Graduation Writing Test (GWT), capstone/senior projects and the Fundamentalsof Engineering (FE) exam. GWT, is a required graduation requirement where all students areassessed individually on their written communication skills. Senior projects assess students as ateam, not as individuals, while the FE exam is a multiple-choice test. All of the ABET studentoutcomes are clearly articulated and assessed through these summative measures. However, attimes it is difficult to identify
apartproject-based learning courses such as cornerstone and capstone experiences. In discussing themotivation for building connections between students and the hands-on situated learningenvironment, they discuss emphasizing “engagement of individuals with the functions and goalsof the community, including interpersonal commitments and ways in which individuals’identities are enhanced or diminished by their participation.” [2] Tonso examines the situatedapproach and its impacts specifically on engineering students and their sense of identity asbelonging within community. “Engineers’ identification with their profession can be critical for persistence, both as a student and then as a professional []. Studies show that a lack of

Topics such as mechatronics, bioinformatics arecovered to meet the competition and challenges posed by outsourcing and globalization. Theimportance of soft skills, such as project management skills, IT, and good communication skillsin addition to the basic sciences, engineering sciences and in-depth skills in a specificengineering discipline has been realized and implemented in the curricula. In this paper, thecontemporary curricula in EE at Indian Universities will be investigated and compared to pre-outsourcing curricula. The merits of these curricula and areas for

Given the widearray of experience that can be achieved from global programs, institutions are seeking to selectappropriate programs to match their global learning outcomes. For instance in 2015, the facultyof the University of Portland introduced three sets of outcomes related to global engineering.5Institutions remain in search of methods to determine if global learning programs are helpingstudents to develop attributes that meet program objectives, accreditation requirements, and theneeds and desires of prospective employers.6 Studies have investigated the effectiveness of arange of

The educational modes in these "new engineering classrooms" areboth diverse and experimental, crossing disciplines, and involving processes oncereserved for artists and writers. The topography of progressive engineering programsvaries dramatically from university to university, as professors draw inspiration fromnon-traditional sources including the social sciences, philosophy, business, architecture,and art.

ENGR 102HS is a year-long courseat all but three participating high schools, which offer it as a semester-long course. During theadditional contact minutes, high school students work on assignments typically assigned ashomework in the university setting. For ENGR 102HS, there is an expectation that each sitesupplements the curriculum with engineering projects and challenges beyond the corecurriculum.

We described the process of developing learning progressions across a sequence of three required aerospace engineering courses (one in each of years two, three, and four of the program) and collecting preliminary data to begin investigating the presence of activities and content related to these progressions in the classrooms. Data collection included the pilot survey, ethnographic classroom observations, and written individual reflections from students. These efforts also included developing a new design-for-requirement mini-project, now referred to as the glider-catapult project [15]. The progressions focused on the following six competencies

Proposals for embedding ethicsinstruction more integrally within engineering coursework have included increasing the emphasison human-centric approaches to design on engineering team projects [10, 17], mitigating orreducing the isolation of ethics instruction from other aspects of courses and projects [8, 13], andincreasing the use of experiential learning approaches for ethics instruction [12, 17 - 20], among 18 19others.

We plan to collect data each year to assess how well our goals of increasing diversity,creating a culture of inclusivity, and increasing the persistence of diverse types of students in the programare being met. This information will inform the design of other activities such as a mentoring program,capstone design, and supporting mid-year content courses and sophomore “springer” courses.

Yet, higher education graduates may still lack decisionmaking and project application skills, and most importantly, the ability to apply the body ofknowledge from their academic training in college courses to solve real-world problems andmeet the skill challenges of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR).To bridge the gap between theory and application of these relevant technologies for industry-ready graduates, hands-on exercises are developed and will be incorporated in a 300-levelphotogrammetry course for SET and Civil Engineering majors
note that thetime spent on the class assignment should vary considerably based on the type of contextual activity usedin each course for integration of the module content with the course content. For instance, for theLearning from Failure (LFF) module, the contextual activity spans the whole semester with a teamproject done in a first-year course, yet we do not see students reporting an increased number of hoursrelated to that. Similarly, the Elevator Pitch (EP) module is overlayed on a required component forseniors in their 2nd semester of a year-long Capstone Project. We see in the data that over 60% of thestudents report spending less than 2hrs, and fewer than 15% report spending more than 5hrs on theassignment. 100 80 60 40 20 0
