career. Student questionstypically focused on grading. For those that asked about internships, information about schoolresources were provided and an offer was made to have the instructor review their resume. Of the37 students in the class, 3 of them submitted a resume for review.Academic integrity was addressed by asking students not to share the content of the oral examwith classmates, and instructor and IA had a comment area in the grading sheet to indicatesuspected academic integrity concerns. In Fall Quarter 2021 of MAE 30A there was no evidenceof students sharing oral exam content. To the contrary, students on the second day of the examscontinued to make mistakes, which would not be the case if the oral exam content had beenwidely shared

Surprisingly, despite thepandemic moving most students online between year one and year two of the sampling, littlevariation was observed from year to year.Potential implications of these, and other, results and next steps for scaling the survey arehighlighted. While this preliminary study is limited to one US university, it indicates the need toinclude topics related to data economy in the engineering curriculum. While the curriculumfocuses on building their expertise in technology, it appears crucial to empower students with theknowledge of their broader role in the society as they are building technical systems.1 IntroductionRegardless of an individual’s intent, anyone

A member of the EPICS leadershipteam serves as the lead for the capstone courses, ensuring project opportunities are surveyed eachsemester and that students interested are funneled through a gateway check to insureappropriateness of the fit for their respective major..Typically, the capstone design experience is two semesters in EPICS, even though it can be asingle semester in some disciplines. Four documents are integrated into the assessment process totrack progress and completion. These documents, shown in appendix C, are 1. Project Proposal is an individual document that is completed by the student and approved by the team
available: “We argue that capstone projects can enculturate students in both disciplinary and industry communities of practice. Educators must identify the differences in the shared repertoire of these communities and frame curricular content and activities accordingly.” Wherever possible, curriculum developers and instructors should employ an integrative approach where students can connect their use of professional skills directly to their technical work and the engineering objectives they pursue [5].At this stage, we may clearly observe that when it comes to: a) integration of the professionalcomponent into the design and innovation process as well as b) strong consideration andincorporation of
lecture notes, tutorials, coding project documentation, and many more.Finally, cloud-based code sharing and versioning systems such as git [10], the fundamentalsystem used by web platform, github [11], have become standard operating procedure forsoftware engineers, so that git and related technologies are creeping into workflows ofengineers that are not software developers.MatlabAll students in the five engineering programs at UCO that take an introduction to engineeringcomputing course are exposed to Matlab [4]. Matlab training is an important skill for manyengineering students especially in signals and control systems. Our curriculum does use Matlabfor courses focused in these areas.

The virtual sandbox application is an interactive computer program developed using the Unity 3D game engine, gearedtowards teaching complex earth-science concepts. The current prototype allows generation of automatic contour maps, overlayedon the terrain model and it is integrated into a learning exercise for students in Civil Engineering to understand the orientation ofa planar structure using the 3-Point Problem approach. This exercise has been traditionally delivered using pen and paper, aidedwith physical 3D models and now it is possible to visualize the problem

The Ukrainian CatholicUniversity presented in this paper is a non-profit educational institution. It states in itsmission the goal of “forming leaders to serve with professional excellence in the homecountry and internationally – for the glory of God, the common good, and the dignity of thehuman person.” The university’s internal managerial approach is to support the startupculture. This paper aims to apply the accreditation process as a prerequisite to improving theinternal processes. This background

of STEM doctoral learning. Bancroft [10] developed the concept ofCritical Capital Theory describing it as an “integration of critical race theory, forms of capital,and fictive kinship” which speaks to the “shifted but enduring nature of racism within the U.S.”.Forms of capital that are valued and honored often reify the status quo and support whitesupremacist ideology which is decidedly anti-Black.Bancroft’s [10] theorized that the low rate of STEM doctoral graduates and professionals was afunction of Critical Capital Theory, suggesting that the low rate “was not an aberration, butrather a product of a system of oppression designed to advantage the economic needs of Whiteelites in the U.S.”. Race is a stable predicator in this formulation in

The goalof the game is to design a control system that compensates for the unwieldy paddle dynamics andrestores normal functionality of the game. Using this game, students approach learningobjectives in an enjoyable way that promotes knowledge transfer. While we have yet toimplement this game in the classroom, the goal is to integrate the game throughout the durationof a semester as a series of interactive projects that we outline in this paper. This will form thebasis of a media comparison study assessing student outcomes in a traditional control systemscourse vs. a GBL

This project was intended to provide the sponsoring institute with materials testingmachines that are compact and cheap enough that multiple working models could be used in ahands-on undergraduate lab or classroom. A group of students must be able to produce a fairlyaccurate and representative stress-strain curve if given a test specimen and one of thesemachines. It was determined that the machine should not require more manual input via a crankto operate than an average person could easily provide. The output data should equally be easy tocompile, view, export, and interpret. Additionally, the machine should be able to be easilyoperated and serviced with
Engineering StudentsAbstractThis research paper presents an interdisciplinary project setting for first-year engineeringstudents. A theoretical frame of reference is suggested to support curriculum design forinterdisciplinary competences in engineering education. Empirically, the study draws on insightsfrom a narrow interdisciplinary curriculum project named “leadENG”. Besides being significanton its own in terms of learning outcomes within faculty borders, the leadENG project is intendedto act as a bridge-building project to prepare students for broader cross-faculty projects. Thisstudy follows a second semester cluster of groups from energy and materials and production, allworking together on the creation of a
