Student ImpactOne academic concern raised often with a study abroad program is whether or not students learnthe content they need to succeed academically as they return from the experience. During a studyabroad program, there are several competing priorities with learning the culture, traveling, andtaking advantage of this unique experience. The CVEN Rome Program was designed to maintainthe same rigorous curriculum of courses taught in College Station, while providing someschedule flexibility to allow students to travel and

Therefore we were not able to prove our test hypothesis that the upper-classengineering students would score higher on the NSPE ethics practice exam than the freshmanstudents.In an attempt to gain greater insight into the results we compared specific questions with a highcorrect score percentage (≥ 80%) and those with a low correct score percentage (≤ 20%) for eachof the survey groups. The results, shown in Table 3, are virtually the same and further supportthe overall findings that the [Institution’s] curriculum of integrated ethical leadership courseswere not effective in enhancing participants’ performance on the NSPE ethics examination.

Classroom Learning in Low-resource settingsAbstractWith this work-in-progress paper, we report on the design of an innovative curriculum focusingon engineering skills for low-resource pre-college students. Engineering knowledge and skillsare in high demand for local and global knowledge economies and provide individuals access tosocial and economic mobility. However, basic engineering education is inaccessible to manystudents in low-income and low-resource areas. Educational technology may be one componentof a solution that addresses access and equity.The curriculum focuses on science and engineering problem solving within real world contexts.We adopt the Integrated Course Design for Outcome-Based Education approach1 for this design.This curriculum

how creativity will be integrated intotechnical content in order to graduate engineers capable of leading the future.Creativity can be defined in many different ways, and is often confused with simple problemsolving5. North American engineering institutions such as Ohio State University and PurdueUniversity have developed tools for assessing creativity within an engineering design context2.These types of tools are important assets for instructors attempting to incorporate and gradecreativity within a design curriculum, and also provide recommendations for integratinginterdisciplinary creative skills. Creativity can also be integrated through entrepreneurial productdevelopment and gamification. Gamification is the process of applying game

In the last 20-25 years, senior level capstone design courses have becomehighly visible at most engineering universities. They serve a key role in teaching students aboutdesign, recruiting new engineers, and maintaining accreditation. They represent an opportunityfor the students to transition from coursework to successfully executing a practical designproject. This transition is quite useful for graduating students who will be entering theworkforce.However, the senior level capstone experience leaves many educational opportunitiesunaddressed or undeveloped. Learning to do good design work is a skill set that is bestdeveloped
