The CDIO Syllabusdefined engineering leadership as “the role of helping to organize effort, create vision, andfacilitate the work of others” (p.68)9. It is clearly stated that leadership is not orthogonal tothe remainder of the engineering curriculum, but rather there is an extensive amount ofoverlap between leadership skills and the other engineering skills9.

There are some attempts at policies andeducational reforms aimed at changing science and engineering education to improve students’understanding of engineering and to influence more students to study those degrees [1], [2].Teacher training programs in the US do not adequately prepare secondary science teachers tointegrate engineering in their curriculum and, in turn, to increase

However, utilizing McMillan and Chavis’ (1986) PSOC, we have beenable to integrate and offer the possibility to demonstrate why this unintended effect is occurringwith non-STEM participants in the PROMISE AGEP. Use of the PSOC model as a conceptualframework for the PROMISE AGEP is an example of an “unintended effect.” PSOC wasintroduced to PROMISE: Maryland’s AGEP by a former graduate

They also helped instructor to gauge student understanding of a particular topic. o Chat Box: Chatbox available through a Blackboard conferencing tool allows the students to provide comments and answers to the questions. The chatting setting was done in such a way that every participant can send a message to everyone or have the ability to send a private message to the instructor. o Annotation on the PowerPoint slides: Annotation on the PowerPoint slides is another excellent feature when teaching
ranged from improvingstudy habits to learning technical skills that would not only help them successfully complete thepilot bridge camp, but also provide academic skills that would potentially help them to be moresuccessful in an undergraduate program. Participants also learned life skills to prepare them forprofessional careers. The learning experiences integrated math and technology into hands-onengineering and science projects over three months in 2-3 week intervals. After the completionof each face-to-face session, participants had the needed tools, skills, and information toaccomplish each related independent project. The independent projects engaged the participantsthroughout the summer, built skills and self-confidence in each successive

In this transformative research experience, teachers travelto global community partner sites to engage in learning projects aimed to enhance theirunderstanding of engineering and intercultural awareness. Upon return from their immersionexperience, the teachers complete an intensive, two-week curriculum development workshop.The teachers then pilot the resulting lesson(s) in their classroom, make revisions as necessary,and share their finalized curriculum with other STEM educators via the TeachEngineeringwebsite.

are an integral part of many engineering curricula due to theopportunity to provide hands-on experiences for students to learn how to collect and analyzedata. While laboratory experiences diverge from a formal classroom lecture to allow students toconduct experiments related to real-world disciplinary concepts, many engineering laboratoriesuse a “cookbook” and procedural based structure. These traditional laboratories, however, havebeen proven to only address the lower levels of knowledge and comprehension of BloomsTaxonomy as opposed to reaching the higher levels of application, analysis, synthesis, andevaluation.1-3 Therefore, even though students are engaged in hands-on activities during labinstruction, educators can question several key
Capobianco et al.’s [23] andFralick et al.’s [22] studies. In that time, there has been significant growth in the profile of engineering inpre-college education, which may have resulted in these participants having more exposure to diverseengineers than the participants had in previous studies. For example, the Next Generation ScienceStandards (NGSS) were released in 2013 [6]. These standards seek to integrate engineering into thescience curriculum across grade levels. While not all states adopted NGSS, by 2018, 70% of states hadeither adopted NGSS itself or developed state-specific standards based upon NGSS, including Ohio,where this study occurred [39]. Additionally, toys which seek to market STEM to specifically to girls,such as GoldieBlox [11
conciselyconvey technical information to people who do not have an engineering background. This alignswith the goal of The Engineer of 2020 and is important to consider in curriculum development inengineering. Similarly, the key areas that students feel least confident in can be consideredopportunities to help them learn. For example, we found the students do not feel confident inidentifying the audience for whom they are writing, expressing ideas clearly to others, clarifyingthe source of problems on teams when they arise, identifying verbal and non-verbal behaviorsthat may be due to cultural norms, and creating visuals that communicate concepts, narratives, orarguments.Communication instructors, we hope, can benefit from our study by developing
theEngineering Accreditation Commission of ABET as well as with the 17 United NationsSustainable Development Goals [1]. The framework is supported by ASEE and has beengrowing in popularity recently.While the framework itself includes a wealth of information through the assembly of the ideasand opinions of many different experienced professionals, it also includes an overwhelmingamount of information and outcomes if the intent is for it to be integrated into an existingengineering curriculum. There are also some unique challenges that accompany efforts tointegrate the framework into an engineering curriculum at a Christian institution, such as the oneat which the authors teach. This paper explores the development of a heavy adaptation of theEOP framework

these experiential learning experiences. The SE department is within a large, private university which is committed to experiential learning within its undergraduate engineering curriculum. The university has one of the oldest cooperative education programs in the country and firmly believes in learning through doing. This presentation will describe how an experiential learning model is used to improve learning and accelerate needed academic cultural changes within the department. The experiential learning methodology is based on an existing educational model which includes four basic stages; active experiences, reflective observations, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation. This experiential learning model is used

This course, ENGR 365 Global Engineering andTechnology, also has the potential to be offered on campus with an internationalized curriculumfor students who cannot afford a trip, although we have not offered it on campus yet. The travelcourse approval has been a crucial step in this initiative, as this course is in the world culturecategory (one of the required liberal studies curriculum categories, but students have manycourse choices in each category on campus), open to all the students on campus who areinterested in how cultures affect engineering designs and sustainability plans, but not just open toengineering and technology students. This step poured the foundation for interdisciplinarycollaborations among faculty, staff, and students

This path oftenrequires students to develop an interest in STEM by middle school, choose particular math andscience courses in middle- and high-school, and gain experience and exposure in STEMactivities through their high school tenure. While successful for approximately 7% of studentswho entered 9th grade in 2001, this system has

, SDT is a theory that was created to examine whyhumans are consistently motivated to grow and how this is impacted by their personality, makingthe theory well-suited to apply to the context of student motivation to learning. Specifically, SDTposits that an individual’s task performance and well-being change based on the motivation theyhave for that task.Through rigorous empirical testing, three innate and fundamental psychological needs have beenidentified for all human beings. Needs are “the nutriments that are essential for optimal humandevelopment and integrity” [30, p. 337], [31], including competence, autonomy, and relatedness[30] - [32]. Competence is the feeling of acting or performing effectively within an environmentor task [32]. In
