learning pedagogies ofproblem-based and project-based learning (PPBL). Using PPBL as a teaching and learning strategyfacilitates cooperative learning, critical thinking, systemic reasoning, creative approach, andsocietal awareness, which are the core values of sustainability. However, translating this into aworking curriculum is quite complex, and raises implementation issues such as physicalarrangements for an active learning environment, changes in the assessment and grading system,providing both teachers and students with at least rudimentary knowledge of PPBL methods,achieving institutional support, etc. Another issue is the program-level decision of having a fulldedicated course on sustainable engineering, or introducing modules on

While it is still a work in progress, the authors wanted to focus onthe methodology chosen to undertake this study, as well as the current status of the researchbeing conducted. The topic itself arose from several conversations at the 2019 ASEE conferencein Tampa where the authors were curious about the landscape of engineering librarianshippublications, focusing on what research methods were typically being used by engineeringlibrarians in their research and how appropriate and well were these approaches being explained.Explorations of the types of studies typically conducted by librarians has been discussed, studiedand editorialized from many years [1]–[4] but the focus in most of the papers examined seemedto be

that semester-long courses (16 weeks) are the most effective preparationformats for preparing GTAs to teach in engineering; however, the content that constitutes such acourse and the impact of the course on the GTAs’ TPACK domains still require further exploration.The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of a semester-long preparation course on theTPACK domains of GTAs in Engineering.In Spring 2022, 165 GTAs took a semester-long teaching and leadership preparation course forengineering graduate students. The course was composed of fourteen 50-minute weekly sessions,seven bi-weekly written assignments, and one optional service learning project. Forty-sevenstudents participated in the study.

The course itself was focused on the development of software, hardware,and fabrication skills of particular use to biomedical engineers [3]. These included CAD,microcontrollers, basic circuits, 3D printing, subtractive approaches to prototyping (dependingon semester), and digital image analysis. The course culminated in a closed-ended team-baseddesign project with a physical prototype due at the end.Students would have taken 0 to 3 courses prior to the design course in question.

the importance and unique characteristics ofstructural design education. Aparicio and Ruiz-Teran [1] provided a historical perspective ondesign education, with a central question on what should be taught and how to most effectivelydeliver. Over the past decades, educators have looked at different ways to teach structural design,including problem and project based approaches (e.g. Quinn and Albano [2], Mills and Treagust[3]), as well as teaching tools utilizing web-based technology [4][5]. While code document is aninseparable part of design, there has not been dedicated discussion in existing literature (based onthe author’s limited experience) on the adoption strategy for code documents in lectures.

Overall, theexperiments conducted were a success in allowing the students to achieve the ABET outcomesduring the process of the experiments. The students were able to research the engineeringtheories, and applied the theories through multiple variations of the experiment to find thedesired answers for the course.Assessment and Impact: Several aspects of what they have done in this course are reflected intheir Capstone Sr. design projects as well as projects in other courses that involve experimentalset-ups and using LabVIEW code, modeling and so on.

One of the broad areas that the NSF-ATEprogram emphasizes is advanced manufacturing at the two-year college level.
