The ABET ASAC General Criterion 3, student outcome f is, “an understanding ofprofessional and ethical responsibility.”7 As Barry and Ohland suggest, among other authorswho have comments on this topic, “Even after multiple cycles of ABET accreditation, manyengineering programs are unsure of how much curriculum content is needed to meet therequirements of ABET’s Criterion 3.f”8 Note that while ABET itself prefers the use of

The goals of this project were to develop anintroductory engineering design course for MSEN students with mentoring from undergraduatesin MEP, improve the self-efficacy and interest in engineering among student participants, and builda pipeline of minority students interested in pursuing an engineering degree at NC State.It has been widely reported that the U.S. must produce more highly skilled individuals in the STEMfields in order to sustain its historical competitive advantage in these areas. According to anexecutive report issued by the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology(PCAST), the U.S. will need to increase the number of students who receive undergraduate STEMdegrees by

student learning improved dramatically as a result ofparticipating in this laboratory experience.Review of Previous WorkAs explained by Feisel and Rosa4 there is knowledge that must be conveyed when educating astudent in engineering that can only be gained from laboratory experience. Though once anintegral part of engineering education in the early 19th century, the focus has shifted to a morelecture-based curriculum mainly because of budget cuts and new technology. The authors statethat the continually increasing complexity of technology that continues to drive up costs;meaning many engineering department budgets aren’t able to meet the necessary requirements ofa modern laboratory. While the emphasis on laboratories in engineering curricula has

Education, 2016 Engineering Ambassadors Network: Progress in 2015 on Creating a National Network of AmbassadorsSummary and Introduction To solve today’s engineering challenges, we need a wide range of solutions, which can berealized only by having enough engineers with diverse and strong technical backgrounds.Workforce studies have shown that the number of students being educated in STEM (science,technology, engineering, and math) cannot meet projected demands.1 Also, the currentenrollments in engineering are not diverse, especially among women, blacks, and Hispanics.2 Onanother issue, a survey of engineers in industry indicates a compelling need for engineers to havestrong communication skills.3 The
“social good” (including improvingquality of life, making the world a better place) came up in the post-survey. It is also interestingto note that in the pre-survey, those who referred to engineers all used words like “engineers” or“they” whereas some in the post-survey referred to engineers as “we”, indicating that the designproject has to some extent helped with students’ self-identification as engineers.
