electrical and computer engineering majors[1]. The SEC was developed through Rose-Hulman's participation in the Foundation Coalition,an NSF-funded engineering education coalition [2]. By 1998, this curriculum grew to includemechanical engineering majors and later added biomedical engineering majors. The curriculumoriginally consisted of eight courses representing 30 credit hours in a 10-week quarter system.By restructuring the material, the SEC tried to explicitly demonstrate common threads within thetopics typically covered by a course on statistics, two courses on differential equations, and fiveengineering science courses: Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics I, Dynamics, Circuits I, andSystem Dynamics. Over its 23-year-life, the SEC has evolved and

To support the second goal, the American Society ofEngineering Education (ASEE) joined the partnership to assist in facilitating cross-institutionalnetworking opportunities for DLC participants from various colleges and universities.A team of STEM faculty worked together to develop the instructional framework of the DLCs.This framework will be piloted in the 2018-19 academic year at three universities in five STEMdisciplines such as engineering and applied math.

Minter[1] points out that as universities (and engineering colleges) moveinto the 21st century, they will find more accountability placed upon them by the public, students,accreditation agencies, and employers. Further, the universities will have to justify the costs ofeducation and assure the quality of education being delivered. That would require a harmoniousrelationship between the delivery and feeder functions. In the context of Indian engineering institutions, this is critically required since theemployability of their graduates is abysmally low at 18% [2]. Moreover, engineering academicinstitutions are

This is a perfect demonstration of so many things that frustrate both students andprofessors and also of something my father used to say all the time and that exemplifies whyteaching through “professing” or telling students things, even if you are interacting with themone-on-one as you do it, doesn’t tend to work well:Catch Phrase #1 – “A person convinced against their will is of the same opinion still”Active learning beats passive learning when it comes to students understanding concepts andretaining information and skills – that is clear [1

GTAs may also findthemselves working within pedagogically sophisticated learning environments such as workingwith small groups of students in a Studio setting, as we have recently reported [1, 2]. Withinthese spaces GTAs are asked to “facilitate” student learning. By “facilitate” we mean that theyare encouraged to shift activity, as much as possible, away from directly showing students howto do their work to asking students questions, eliciting their thinking, and encouraging groupinteractions.As such pedagogical strategies become more complex, the professional development of GTAsbecomes critical.

This paper presents the interweaving of ECEtopics and evaluation of students’ retention of ECE concepts and skills. “Hardware Security” has been taught twice in the last year, each time containing around25 undergraduate students (including electrical, computer, and electromechanical engineers intheir third and fourth years). These students were surveyed and evaluated regarding theirconfidence with and competency of ECE and related concepts at the beginning and end of thecourse.

However, questions persist regarding how best to developengineering students’ understandings and abilities related to social and ethical responsibility [7],[8], [9], [10]. Challenges in facilitating these understandings include being aware of thepreconceptions and perceptions that students bring into college, and also how the broad set ofexperiences and influences they encounter during their undergraduate education may impact thedevelopment of their understandings of what it means to be a socially and ethically responsibleengineer.Despite the changes in ABET standards and efforts to

In the year2000, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (now ABET Inc.) put newstandards in place. The new system shifted from one of counting credits and was superseded byan “outcomes-based process,” in which educational institutions must demonstrate that graduatespossess a breadth of abilities, such as the ability to work in teams and communicate acrossdisciplines, as well as possess a technical depth of knowledge [3].

Consideringelevation differences along the canal, the first challenge in the design of this sectional canal ishow to overcome the influence of gravity, in order to allow the water to flow smoothly. Thesecond challenge is the water shortage in northern China due to an uneven precipitationdistribution.

With this traditionalapproach, the lecturer drives the learning process rather than students actively taking part in thelearning process themselves [1]. A more solid and modern approach on learning, called Problem-Based Learning (PBL), was introduced through John Dewey’s philosophies. PBL comes fromidea that learning is grounded in discovery and is better achieved through mentoring by teachingprofessionals, rather than the traditional “transmission of knowledge” approach. The PBLapproach leads to higher student engagement and involvement in the learning process, whichallows for increased levels of deep thought and discovery since students are actively

This paper provides a qualitative approach tocontextualizing the development of empathy as a learning outcome for engineering educatorsinterested in service-learning.1. IntroductionIn a globalized world, engineers are often confronted with increasingly socio-technical, multi-facetted, and ill-defined challenges [1]. These challenges require that engineers recognizespecific needs and constraints, leverage the perspectives of multiple stakeholders, and workeffectively within diverse, multidisciplinary teams [2]. These factors, all of which are viewed ascritical, are influencing an expansion of engineering undergraduate curricula in order to developtechnical professionals who exhibit appropriate professional skills
