There are many different gradedassignments, particularly homework and midterms, in addition to the final exam (which isusually three hours long). Many courses at CP have an associated laboratory, and ofteninstructors will assign additional projects in the class. There is no requirement to do aninternship, although most students seek to do these during the summer break. There is asubstantial general education requirement, including 72 quarter credits. Page

students in thesecourses were also participating in Engineers Without Borders (EWB) as an extracurricularactivity. Based on the fall 2006 results, there were significant differences in the responses of thefirst-year versus senior design course for only 4 of the 61 questions. The fall 2007 EDWstudents were emailed the survey, and response rates were much lower than in the other twocourses. Therefore, few differences due to gender, EWB participation, or other factors wereevident. The results from this study are preliminary in nature due to the small number of surveyrespondents. However, at this time it appears that the curriculum made minimal impacts oncommunity service attitudes. It also appears that differences in the attitudes of thesenior

Theauthors found that students who participated in the creative lab demonstrated a higher confidencein continuing in engineering coursework than those who did not. As the study states, “Creativityis an important attribute for engineers practicing their profession in a global society” [12].Although students struggled with the open-ended nature of the design problems, they enjoyed thecourse and saw the value in the addition to their curriculum. Illustrating the importance of incorporating real-world engineering design problems, Odehet al. write, “Nowadays, engineering education needs to meet the requirements and needs ofbusiness and industry.

Core Curriculum cultivates social justice, civic life, perspective, andcivic engagement. It involves community-based learning with a social justice emphasis. Studentsare required to (i) engage in 16 hours of community-based learning experiences and (ii) performcritical reflection and evaluation of their experiences. A primary goal of the ELSJ requirement is“to foster a disciplined sensibility toward power and privilege, an understanding of the causes ofhuman suffering, and a sense of personal and civic responsibility for cultural change.”The specific learning objectives of an ELSJ class are as follows:• Recognize the benefits of life-long responsible citizenship and civic engagement in personal and professional activities (Civic Life

The survey showed the project helped students grasp a betterunderstanding of real-life vibrations, which an engineer would have to put time into modeling variationsof said systems. One of the student projects was further developed as a demonstration of free and forcedvibration in the course.

born to families made up of engineers and otherprofessional in closely aligned fields (e.g., scientists), no one grows up using the language andliteracy practices of engineering, exactly. These abilities are taught and learned and make up thebasis for writing pedagogy in engineering education often called writing in the disciplines orwriting across the curriculum. The underlying the academic literacy practices in engineeringidentities resides an array of linguistic practices – what Gee would call ways of saying-being-doing-feeling. Considering the cultural basis for these ways of making meaning is important inthe age of AI as students collaborate with and negotiate language with large language models.However, before considering how language

One of the most effective ways of providing our students these learning experiencesis through education abroad opportunities. Yet less than 4% of US engineering students studyabroad and there has been little growth in the past two years1. It is also well established that experiential, project/problem-based learning with an emphasison acquiring new knowledge and applying and integrating previous knowledge can be veryeffective structures for enhancing student learning2.
