This willprovide a foundation for developing pedagogy for teaching faculty in engineering. Future workwill determine at what level the pedagogy could be most effective, such as introductory freshmenengineering classes versus senior design level classes.References[1] M. C.

The programwas designed based on successful mentorship models from the University of Arkansas ChemicalEngineering [9, 10] and Industrial Engineering [11] Departments, both of which have beenestablished for over three years. To ensure an effective launch, the BENG Mentor Programcommittee consulted representatives from these programs to gather advice, best practices, andlessons learned.One of the key recommendations from these consultations was to adopt a mentor circle formatand focus the program primarily on the fall semester. The mentor circle structure was favoredover one-on-one meetings because it encouraged richer discussions and more diverseperspectives

Patents and scientific papers on nanotechnology topicsquadrupled in the last decade, and this growth has accelerated in the past couple of years4. All ofthese trends point to a need to train nanoscience researchers and scientists to continue the growthin this field and meet the nanotechnology vision for 2020 set forth by NSF3.Along with continuous advances in nanoscience and technology, educators have developeddifferent courses and programs at both undergraduate and graduate levels to attract the best andbrightest students to the field and help creation of a new work-force.

If students need to learn tobe responsible to society, the arguments go, then students need to take more courses in ethicsand/or take courses that feature a service learning dimension.Ethics education for engineering students has gained new stature in the past fifteen years,spawning a movement to encourage engineering faculty to add ethical dimensions to theirtechnical courses. Resources for faculty are available at The Online Ethics Center forEngineering and Science. According to Whitbeck, the best approach to teaching ethics toengineering students is to adopt a “’hands on,’ ‘practice-oriented,’ ‘experiential,’ or ‘activelearning approach”: The active learning exercises should be chosen so that over the course

among these demandsis the call for outfitting students – the future workforce – with so-called 21st-century skills [3].Most notably, these include skills of abstract thinking, critical reasoning, technicalcommunication, teamwork, lifelong learning, creativity, and leadership. A critical line ofresponse to equipping students with these skills has been pedagogical advances and instructionalinnovation at the course and curriculum levels. Student-centric, active-learning, and experientialeducational practices – such as flipped classes, project-based courses, undergraduate research,and work-integrated learning – have emerged as effective tools for supporting students’professional skill development in line with expectations of the modern workplace [4

Students would have read documentation on how to use existingML libraries and build their own systems around these tools, considering the algorithms largelyas “black boxes.” This approach is enticing because it allows students to quickly see excitingapplications without the need for upper-level
