Figure 3: A completed wooden dieResults and DiscussionAmong the 1600 or so student responses analyzed from the assigned post lab reflection, theauthors found that that the student submissions fell into two categories: a. Beginner: Students who had no or some experience with tool usage b. Expert: Students who had a lot of experience in hand tool usage.Representative responses that were typical to both categories to three relevant questions askedare included below:In responding to the question, ‘Prior to today’s lab, have you ever worked with hand tools?

course framework is described to help with first-year students’ professional development. A common practice of growing professional skill sets isto obtain internship opportunities as the industry is generally looking for applicants who are atintermediate or advanced levels. However, the first-year students generally would have few solidtechnical skills. Therefore, the research question is how to help first-year students gain essentialskills before they apply for internships and become future workforce [1, 2]. Constructivism is thetheory that states that learners can construct knowledge rather than passively absorb informationfrom educators. As people experience the world and reflect on those experiences, they constructtheir own representations

phases.4. Faculty Reflections and Plans for Future ImprovementsAddressing core concerns like fair assessment, structured guidance, and emphasis on engineeringfundamentals can significantly enhance the ENG 102 course. Feedback suggests incorporatingmore frequent classes and better resource availability to align the course with engineeringdemands. Responding to this, faculty will focus on popular components like the Arduino and 3Dprinting workshops, shifting towards more project-based learning by reducing lecture hours. Otherproposed improvements include introducing peer evaluations to balance team contributions,adjusting the computer application workshop to cater to diverse student backgrounds by includinga range of computing tools, and ensuring

A more feasibleapproach may students enrolled in multiple IBL courses, as this would better align better with thetime demands of the NSF program. Some results are based on self-assessed opinions, which maynot reflect actual outcomes. Further analysis may be needed to better understand the impact of I-Corps and IBL on engineering education.VII. Conclusion As this study is in its early stages, a definitive conclusion regarding the impact ofintegrating IBL principles with the NSF I-Corps program in engineering education is yet to bedrawn.

Here we describe a set of curricular modulesto enhance students’ understanding of standards in engineering practice that reflect learning at alllevels of Bloom’s Taxonomy (i.e. recognition/understanding, application, revision, and creation).The modules and their implementation will enhance students’ understanding of standards,including 1) searching and identifying appropriate standards, 2) writing appropriate protocols forthe verification of standards, 3) proposing revisions to standards, and 4) developing newstandards. With this methodology applied to different engineering/technical disciplines, we hopeto establish a distinct value

Theresults of the first authors' affiliation country distribution in the mental health field in engineeringeducation research point to an American source for this kind of work. It is crucial to recognize anypotential biases in these results. The inclusion criterion of articles written only in English is onesignificant factor that may distort the representation of nations and thus artificially increase theamount of research from the United States. Moreover, the apparent dominance of Americanresearch may not fully reflect the amount of funding or involvement that practitioners in othercountries have given to research on mental health in engineering education

They are presented with a choicebetween educating communities directly, or working to improve politicians’ understanding of thetechnology. Each choice has consequences for their progress in the game.

Engineering Education, 2024 2024 ASEE Midwest Section ConferencePrevious work done to access AI literacy is also compared to note the progress of studentcomfort over the last four semesters. Notably, these student projects are conducted in anengineering education setting where programming fluency at the level required to create AI andML tools is not generally attained by the students using the tools. This is reflective of a wideadoption of AI and ML tools across various fields. The use of AI and ML resources arebecoming ubiquitous in many fields where programming fluency is not typically associated, suchas medicine [5,6] and business [7]. There is even some work exploring early adoption inprecollege education such as the

Many other courses follow this same practice, including the Intro toIE Data Visualization project, which was the first project included on students’ e-Portfoliosduring the first iteration of implementation, serving as a baseline for further e-Portfoliodevelopment considerations. It is key that students can publicly publish the links to their e-Portfolio websites, so academic integrity was a key consideration when discussing curriculuminclusion in the portfolios. This approach to project selection meets these conditions as outlinedby the CoE and the research team, and these conditions are reflected in the project selectionprocess previously outlined.
