case studies in undergraduate courses can be developed.As the impacts of climate change have continued to evolve and manifest over the past fewdecades, there is also a growing need to develop more nuanced and expansive discourse aroundenvironmental topics. [1] Due to their complexity, the social, ethical, and justice elements ofenvironmental issues often take a secondary role to more economic or policy-based motivations(loss of product, emission/release standards, etc.) in these discussions, which may result in theunintentional erasure or lack of apparent attention to the socially disadvantaged groups whom aredisproportionately affected.

For culture-inspired creative designs, students areencouraged to choose from a variety of cultural traits including Language, Nationality, Aesthet-ics (Music, Literature, art, crafts, dance), Architecture, Religion, Celebrations, Rituals, Myths,Customs, Clothing and Fashion and Ethics (hierarchies, behavior as good and bad). The culturalinfluence on the product should be incorporated into the conceptual stage of design, and shouldcarefully consider what aspects of the culture are going to be included in the product. Rather thanbeing superficial additions to the product, the cultural aspects should influence the design, usage,and purpose of the product. In fact, the product itself can be

portion of this course heavilyemphasizes group work, allowing students to apply the theories they learned in the lecture portion of thecourse to a practical application while honing their communication, problem-solving, and teamworkabilities. Two mechanical engineering majors, two electrical engineering majors, and two computer sciencemajors were recruited by each student who volunteered to be a team leader during the first week of thecourse. It was important that these team leaders demonstrated a good work ethic and provided clarity totheir team when it came to meeting certain deadlines within the class. During the lab portion of the course,students were engaged in tasks such as assembling the robot’s mechanical chassis and electronics hull

In this paper, we will have reflections on a particular section of thecourse with 14 students, where students’ engineering-related experience varied from noexperience to professional certificates and/or similar design project experience in their highschools. Course Objectives with ABET Student Outcomes (SOs) are followed. The last five COsare the ones related to the engineering projects in the course. Throughout the projects, studentswere expected to achieve the SOs 2, 3, and 5. • Discuss various engineering disciplines and the role of engineers (SO4) • Discuss engineering ethics and safety (SO4) • Demonstrate teamwork for projects (SO5) • Manage engineering project with effective communication (SO3
* Concept generation/selection Engineering ethics (lecture topic only) Decision makingIn addition to instructional goals, many capstone programs (including the program that is thesubject of this paper) involve the construction of a working prototype for a client. Prototyping isless common in Chemical and Civil Engineering, where working prototypes are impracticallylarge for students to build, but most other programs require some type of build. Increasingly,capstone programs are exploring approaches to product development and design using an Agilemethodology (e.g., [17]–[19]), which drives teams to prototype early, delivering functionality ata steady pace through the project. Underlying this is a desire to move students from paper
engineering instructors and theconstruction CoP. The goal is to identify information that can help facilitate access to industrypractitioners that can complement the practical needs of construction engineering students andunderstand the practical course-support needs of construction engineering instructors. The surveywas administered online, and 293 engineering instructors and 143 industry practitioners filled itout. In addition, we secured ethical clearance through our IRB office. Data were analyzed usingdescriptive statistics, and some of the responses were analyzed by different variables to see ifthere were any important differences to show between participants. Preliminary results of thesurvey are presented next.Participants from IndustryOne

an A graduate CoE atrate (81%) similar to those who earn an A in Calculus 1. However, there are steeper drop-offs toCoE graduation rates of Precalculus compared to Calculus I students as grades decrease. Thosein Precalculus who earn a C, D, or W also find moderate success outside CoE with those groupsgraduating in other degrees at a rate of 29%, 27%, and 30% respectively.Algebra is our lowest starting group. The bright spot here is that those who earn an A graduateCoE at a rate (51%) approximately equal to the overall average (50%). This indicates a largenumber of students starting two semesters behind who have the right work ethic can reachgraduation even if it may take them 6 years.
