) explicitly state the need for ethical and sociallyconscious work. For example, the ASCE BOK states that “civil engineers must be able toaddress the sustainability of a project during planning and to help stakeholders understand theenvironmental, economic, and social impacts” [4, p. 40]. Further, engineers must be able toanalyze situations with conflicting professional and ethical issues in order to determine anappropriate next step [5]. Building these skills in the classroom is critical, and professors mayhave the opportunity to mentor students through the complex problems that engineers solve inpractice. A recent survey of 5,025 college students found that 55% believe professors are at leastpartially responsible for being a mentor of them while 39

Students must engage with the project from a perspective of blendedboundaries that meaningfully engages with both the facts and values of a project – values whichmust be considered from the perspectives of all peoples. This view is not one traditionally heldby engineering systems, which often embrace traditional power roles, making determinations onwho is worthy of being served [11, 15].To evaluate these concepts properly, previous research has determined a significant gapadequately

More facedchallenges are institutional constraints such as limited budgets and new ideas requiring extensiveplanning. Lastly, most PSI research focuses on psychology and behavior analysis of students,raising concerns about the generalizability of findings to other disciplines and diverse studentpopulations [21]. Accordingly, careful planning was done in Math Launch to benefit from PSIand address identified challenges. The customized PSI tenets in Math Launch pedagogy are:1. Preparation of written materials: ALEKS was set up so it provided an explanation page before a student attempted an exercise which enhanced student understanding and helped with improving self
different profiles can influences the load capacity of astructure without necessarily changing its weight. These profiles are clamped on one side andloaded by a point load at the free end for the static experiments. Due to the different bendingstiffnesses, different deflections are achieved with the different profiles, even though theyweigh the same. To convince the participating audience, these beams should be easilyremovable for weight comparison.Another topic of the planned workshops is the deliberate shift of the natural frequencies of astructure through a suitable selection of the profiles to avoid undesirable resonances whilemaintaining the weight of the structure. This is demonstrated by carrying out modal analyseswith the same cantilever

This was deemed necessary to adequately plan for the space usage in the newdesign. This information was gathered by the student researchers by conducting a detailedinventory of the existing FIT Closet facility. Once the inventory was completed, the studentsrequested to gather additional information from current volunteers and shoppers. To this point,the information gathered was focused on how the current facility operated. The students wantedto learn from those individuals who regularly use the FIT Closet how it could function better.Volunteers and shoppers were asked to provide feedback regarding their experiences
data for the studywas collected. The data collected was during a software testing class, CEN4072 Fundamentals ofSoftware Testing, where the students used SEP-CyLE to complete extra credit assignments.3.1 Course ContextThe CEN4072 Fundamentals of Software Testing course may be taken by students in their ju-nior or senior years during their undergraduate degree program. Based on the course catalogdescription, the CEN4072 course covers test plan creation, test case generation, program inspec-tions, specification-based and implementation-based testing, and testing tools. The course gradeis based on three exams (two midterms, 25% each, and a final, 20%), a group project (25%), andattendance at class (5%). Students may also receive extra credit
, Electrical Power, Communication Technology, Electronics, and Computer ArchitecturePromoting Engineering Design PracticesA literature review of middle school engineering education from 2012 to 2022 found that 75% ofthe literature focused on promoting engineering practices. Among these, 95% emphasized designpractices such as problem framing, ideation, and prototyping [7]. These practices are commonlydeveloped through the design, building, and testing of physical models with instructionstructured around the engineering design process (EDP) [8]. For example, students design andbuild a soda can crusher [9] or prosthetic arm [10] through a sequence of steps, which generallyinvolve problem framing, gathering information, planning or

this gap througha dual approach: weekly lectures tailored to MET students, focusing on accessible tools andpractical applications, and senior projects specifically designed to apply AI/ML concepts to solveengineering problems. A comprehensive assessment plan, incorporating pre- and post-courseidentical quizzes, topic-specific quizzes, self-evaluations and reflections, demonstrated significantlearning gains. The successful completion of these AI-focused senior projects highlights theeffectiveness of this approach in equipping students with essential AI/ML skills. This innovativestrategy not only addresses the curriculum gap but also offers a scalable model for integratingemerging technologies into undergraduate engineering

Educators have been finding ways of integrating EMLinto their courses such as online discussions [3] and e-modules [4] that do not require class time.The new assignments were created to encourage students to become more curious about thebroader world and hopefully retain knowledge for future courses, and they were all completedoutside of class [5].This research is the first part of a planned longitudinal study to determine the effects of thiscourse modification. Surveys and reflective statements are often used by researchers tounderstand student learning. Analysis of reflective narratives is discussed in Badenhorst, et al.[6] and Ilin [7].

to contributemeaningfully to a dynamic and interconnected world [10].Closely related, futures studies as an academic field moves beyond conventional planning toolslike forecasting and risk assessment. It embraces uncertainty and explores multiple plausiblefutures to spark imagination and address complex challenges [13, 14]. As James Dator famouslystated, “The future cannot be predicted because the future does not exist” [15].In engineering education, the use of futures literacy has primarily focused on planning and riskmanagement. While these approaches are valuable, they tend to constrain the broader,exploratory potential of futures thinking.

As a result, there are few truevetted models of teaching cybersecurity, especially for supporting beginner-level students whoare just starting to interact with the field. Even seemingly simple tasks, such as planning in-classactivities, can be difficult to manage without extensive forethought and secure infrastructuredevelopment; hacking can get quite messy at times and could potentially pose security risks forthe university. Both faculty and staff must coordinate to find holes in the infrastructure and stopstudents from doing anything potentially dangerous

—something especially valuable forthose who may feel their perspectives are not typically centered in academic spaces.Additionally, it is important to remain aware of how communication styles can inadvertentlysilence voices. When students have internalized that their contributions are undervalued, theymay speak less—not from lack of insight, but from prior learned restraint. Attuning to thisdynamic is key to creating environments where every student can participate meaningfully.2.
