There is increasing interest in helping engineeringstudents develop socially engaged engineering skills, but instructors must be supported inaddressing potential challenges in doing so effectively, including time constraints, perceiveddisconnects between social dimensions and technical course content, and a need for additionaltools, resources, and training for integrating socially engaged engineering into their courses [10]- [12].The Center for Socially Engaged Engineering and Design (C-SED) in the University ofMichigan College of Engineering offers a number of resources to help advance the developmentof socially engaged thinking and

A primary purpose of hands-on activities is to provide learners with actual experiences that allow them to apply engineeringskills to reinforce knowledge and directly observe the outcomes of their efforts, which leads todeeper learning.In this study, a hands-on approach called, the Experiment-Centric Pedagogy (ECP) wasimplemented. This pedagogy has been found to actively engage learners by utilizing affordable,safe, and portable electronics in various educational settings (classrooms or laboratories). ECPcombines problem-solving exercises and constructive learning methods with a hands-on,portable multifunction tool that can be used in place of

Thequantitative portion of the first scenario prompt was: Please consider the following scenario when answering questions on this screen: Imagine that you are a junior engineer working under the direction of a senior licensed professional engineer (P.E.) with many years of experience in bridge design. During a late- stage design review, significant concerns were expressed about the team’s design possibly leading to an unacceptable level of vibration. The P.E. overrules the concerns without discussion and prepares the bridge design for delivery to the project sponsor

Anotherauthor realized that being compassionate about deadlines builds community with the studentsand that some of the best work was turned in after the deadline [7]. Fairness was a concern, asstudents who turned in things late had more time to work on them and consider the problem.However, they conceded that few if any students complained about flexible deadlines beingunfair.Deadlines and DiversityIn a 2016 article, Boucher framed rigid deadlines as contributing to student stress and imposingunfair consequences on the most vulnerable students [8].

Dewey first identified experiential learning as a fundamental foundation informal educational at the beginning of the 20th century. After Dewey, many psychologists andeducators believed that experiential learning is a valuable process and could be added totraditional instructional methods rather than replace them. Others believed that experientiallearning is an enhancement tool of the learning process that cannot be replaced.27Experiential learning is a stage or process where the student is prepared to do more than just anobserver. Labs, workshops, projects, presentations, class discussions, and teamwork all fall intothe experiential learning category

This balance with concrete experience is especially needed in “building-block”courses that create the foundation for advanced design courses. If we expect students to performwell with open-ended, project-centered problems, we need to provide a pedagogical basis acrossthe entire undergraduate curriculum. This paper presents such a basis for one importantengineering core topic: mechanics of materials. Active learning concepts applied in mechanicsof materials courses are discussed, including specific examples of hands-on, multimedia, andgroup design exercises.1.

The client driven approach can create an environmentwhere the students value abilities beyond using the traditional prescribed models andalgorithms.2 While traditional design projects focus on the product being developed, MEAs focuson the process of problem solving and model development. The originators of MEAs proposesix primary principles to
