And just because it’s a motivation knowing that this degree has many possibilities to provide me with a good career in the future. And I know that this is something that can be applied in so many diverse ways and it's a very much needed career right now. And so, I think with all those things and knowing that I can apply my passion, creativity into the engineering field, it gives me a hope and a motivation that I can continue moving forward with it, despite my previous doubts.Andrea's placement in a group of male peers that were both experienced in

viable.For us, this starts with developing a community of support to give faculty the confidence toeffectively introduce wicked problems into their existing courses. Through this community,faculty may leverage one another’s expertise in order to expose students to real-world wickedproblems. In the spirit of holistic engineering education, our hope is to enable instructors toconfidently develop their students’ non-technical skills which are integral for generatingsustainability-minded leaders of the future.5,6Research MethodsIn this paper, our primary research objective was to develop a valid and reliable psychometricinstrument that measures a series of sustainability-related learning objectives that are central toWPSI. Our second objective was to
pedagogical goals in mind. One goal is to provide an opportunity for students todeepen their learning of science and engineering concepts. Another goal is to experienceactivities that mimic those of an engineer. In both cases, ambassadors seem to be refining theircapacity to convey technical content in ways that appeal to specific (non-technical) audiences,which is very much aligned with the overall goals of the ambassador program. The activity design process demonstrated the potential for this aspect of ambassadortraining to further undergraduates’ thinking as subject matter experts and communicators to non-technical audiences. Most of the ambassadors gave specific examples of how the content of theirpresentation was manifest in the hands-on

Highlighting Scholarly ActivityIn 2017, the Diversity Committee introduced traditional publish-to-present paper sessions at theASEE Annual Conference. This was in part a response to the papers nominated for the BestDiversity Paper award. The Diversity Committee maintains a position of supporting a broaddefinition of diversity and recognized a need to provide a space for papers on diversity-relatedtopics that were not the historical focus of other divisions within the organization. That year,twenty-two papers were accepted for presentation at the annual conference; this was above andbeyond the papers submitted to the Minorities in Engineering Division (MIND), the Women inEngineering Division

During the final collaborative session, anengineering student from each team provided guidance on the robot’s design. In particular, theengineering students’ assistance was sought when building and coding a mechanism to addmovement to the robot.This study, while intended to directly impact the coding knowledge and interprofessional skillsof education and engineering students, is also part of a larger movement to broaden participationin STEM fields, particularly engineering.

address both analytical skill-building and contextual awareness.Biomedical engineering in particular has been constrained by the cost and scale of existingmanufacturing techniques; although the variability of the human body has long been recognized(Tilley & Henry Dreyfuss Associates, 2002), customized equipment and medications havehistorically been labor-intensive and therefore expensive. With the advent of personalizedmanufacturing and medicine, the technical limitations prohibiting this kind of work are startingto dissolve. Engineering habits of mind must shift to take this into account, and engineeringeducators have a role to play in making students aware of historical and existing biases in modelsand designs so that they do not perpetuate

Lesson 4: Consider ABET accreditation from the beginning.ABET accreditation is a key component in any engineering program, and the design of thecurriculum of each specialization and sequencing of classes within the MDE program should befocused on fulfilling and reinforcing any given School of Engineering's commitment to ABET'soverall educational objectives. Our program was built with ABET accreditation in mind from theearly planning stages. We ensured that our core degree choices would meet the requirements forthis accrediting body, and our assessment plan was integral

During thisproblem identification phase, Ms. Green had the idea of building a tiny house in mind and wasworking on a proposal for the grant that would ultimately support the project. However, sheintentionally did not propose the specific idea to students. Instead, she led students through aseries of exercises in which they identified and researched various problems within theircommunity, including housing scarcity. Observing students’ genuine interest in the problem ofhousing scarcity, Ms. Green arranged for the class to meet with a potential “client”, anAmericorps member who worked at the school as part of the MakerVista program.

consideration is that you clearly indicate which parts of your submission are your own work, and which parts are communicating someone else’s work. A failure to make this distinction is commonly called plagiarism. However, in the engineering workplace, what academics call ‘plagiarism’ is usually thought of as ‘benefitting from someone else’s expertise’. Engineering knowledge is communal expertise hard-won over many years. With this in mind, I am open – indeed desirous – to see you learn how to re-use concepts and code. But thoughtfully! In your assignments, you must justify your decisions. This includes re-use decisions, e.g. of designs, of components, or of tests.”LLM PedagogyTo support students in using LLMs, the course staff developed
