plans to pursue graduate education. Participants were asked toraise their confidence with specific scientific skills on a five-point likert scale (5 = veryconfident, 1 = not at all confident). Results from the pre- and post-assessment from 2019through 2021 indicate gains in a number of scientific skills (Figure 2). Results in 2017 and 2018were not included in this analysis due to changes in the pre- and post-assessment surveys. In allthree years, positive gains were found in participants’ skills in writing an abstract, using thelibrary and scientific databases, understanding research ethics, and preparing a paper forpublication. The greatest gains across all three years were in preparing a paper for publication,which is one of the direct
and analysis methods such as impedance concepts, power principles, phasor notation,circuit frequency response principles, and filter concepts were covered. Capacitive networks andsimple inductive transient analysis along with operational amplifier circuit analysis principlesincluding simple active filter design were learned. Lastly, motors, transformers, power supplieswere introduced. Foundation of engineering design (MENG 2000) gave students an introduction to whatengineering is, how to design using accepted philosophy, process, and methodology. Feasibility,human factors, ethics, and economics concepts of a design were explored. Case studies were usedto highlight design successes and failures to understand engineering principles

Students write about why they are at our institution, and what type of engineeringdiscipline/field they plan on pursuing and why; how they are coming to understand personal,academic, and professional integrity and ethics and how they might continue to pursue personaland professional integrity as they become practicing engineers. In the spring course, ENGCMP412, students pursue individual writing projects that are integral to their understanding ofcommunicating in a professional context. They also engage in a multi-step process of working inteams of three to write, revise and submit a paper to the First-Year Engineering Conference
implicitly account for complexcriteria, including the welfare of those who use or are impacted by the systems we design and theeconomic needs of their employers.As a result, in many ways engineering is an art that requires practitioners to routinely navigatedifficult tradeoffs that require professional judgments. These judgments include economic,ethical, social, and value-based dimensions. Each of these dimensions could be conflicting,increasing the complexity of practice and foregrounding the prominence of judgment. The result,as Dorothy Winsor observes, is that engineering is information work requiring skill in persuasivecommunication [1]. Such information work means that engineers not only must developengineering judgment, but must also develop

Through the service-learningproject, Students applied existing and newly gained knowledge to a real-world situation whileworking with students from different academic majors, and improving their civic engagement byassessing the needs of food banks and agencies and proposing ethical yet effective solutions.However, students complained about unexpected workload, unclear course requirements, as wellas the need for an in-person visit with the food pantry. The feedback also included that we didnot provide well-defined problems for students to solve in this course. They suggested that weprovide well-designed processes, activities, and pre-designed tools so that they can save muchtime and focus

Even if institutions offer laboratories, such laboratories may usecomplicated devices such as computerized force sensors or strain gauges that limit the breadth of thelaboratories. Such laboratories may also employ expensive or large equipment such as structure walls orPasco bridge sets. This paper will describe a set of inexpensive, space-saving laboratories in staticscourses using string, popsicle sticks, spring scales, 3D printed adapters, squares, protractors, and othervenerable, effective items.

unlikely that all fourparameters would correlate favorably or unfavorably after a particular modification. Thus, theyneeded to develop a technique with which to evaluate trade-offs between positive and negativerelations between design changes. It is in this process of evaluating trade-offs that studentslearned the interconnectivity of the technical, financial, and ethical portions of the design processby trying to simultaneously optimize each parameter.Ultimately, the project proved successful as both a learning and assessment instrument. Studentssubmitted a variety of design configurations involving reheat and regeneration with open andclosed feedwater heaters.

growing field of biomedical engineering has historically presented a difficulty indeveloping pedagogical methods consolidating the wide breadth of both biomedical sciences andengineering principles in addition to a sufficient education in ethics and business [1]. Integratingapplications and ensuring that students exit their undergraduate program with marketable skillssufficient for immediate entry into biomedical industries provides further impetus to broadenoffered content. Current trends in the industry have necessitated that engineering designprofessionals have a working knowledge of 3D design software [2]. In response, integrating 3Ddesign through computer-aided design (CAD) -based services in engineering courses is expectedto support the
across disciplines is essential! Scientists and engineers generally are not trained to study language and power structures. Questioning and then eliminating problematic terms will require collaboration between the primary users of the language (e.g., some STEM fields) and those who study it (e.g., humanities scholars and social scientists).• Funding agencies could highlight this issue and require multidisciplinary teams to tackle it. The NSF Broader Impacts language might include specific reference to non-inclusive language. Research 24 Experiences for Unsdergraduates (REU) programs also might be a good place to start since they require ethics training.• Compiling

Theme #3: Benefits of Learning that Go Beyond this PDSeveral participants highlighted the benefit of their learning that goes beyond this PD experience,crossing over into other aspects of teaching. Example quotes are provided here: • “The picture/reflection activity is one that I will begin using throughout other lessons as well. Had been considering moving towards memes and this is a great meet-in-the-middle step. Really pumped about using bio-inspiration to drive my students to think outside of their box, yet give them boundaries.” • “[I] Usually get into the lens discussion during the ethics lesson.

further research into how students learn to frame engineering designproblems and what role framing plays in their professional formation.Introduction and Research PurposeDeveloping the ability to design solutions to problems is key for engineering students learning tobe professionals [1]. Many design experiences happen in the first-year and senior year courses,though increasingly they are being incorporated into courses along the entire program [2]–[4].Instructors must make many decisions when developing design challenges, not all of which areclear. For instance, in senior capstone design, faculty commonly contend with ABETrequirements, ethics, project management, appropriate scope, appropriate technical content, andteam dynamics [5]–[7]. With

They then iteratively defined the learning challenges from the student perspective,came up with ideas to address their challenges, and generated low-fidelity prototypes to describea reimagined learning experience. These prototypes were tested with the same students whoparticipated in the initial interviews as part of focus group sessions for each specfic course. Thefeedback received from participants was then used to improve prototypes that could beimplemented in the classroom.Figure 1: A storyboard illustrates each phase of the research study that used a design thinkingapproach to identify and address student learning challenges.The protocol was approved by the McMaster Research Ethics Board.ParticipantsThree students who had previously
