Additionally, programs respondedto what trends in the AEC industry (or elsewhere) educators should be considering for future capstoneenhancements over the next 10 years. Table 2 provides a key set of these summaries. From a challengeperspective, three discreet trends emerged. One is the students’ work ethic and
that is a problem.I believe engineers are smart enough to see climate change and be proactive without being forcedinto through course work.”. Four more students believed even though it wasn’t covered in class,that isn’t an issue, as the responsibility of climate change shouldn’t fall on engineering students,but rather on big companies or government.The remaining students who said no, said that climate change is either brushed over, not broughtup at all, or that coverage is not sufficient. One recurring theme is the lack of substantiality indesign courses. For example, “Especially in introductory design classes, the importance ofdesign for the environment is lost. Ethics already has some sustainability components, but thesefailed to strongly

. You can't use the excuse that it's a technical job to deny its interpersonal attributes, because your products will always end up being used by a person. (S7)Many students have reported a heightened sense of social responsibility as engineers. Onestudent expressed that 'the training of engineers is the training of a person' (S2). They havebecome significantly more attuned to the societal aspects of engineering and the importanceof integrating social and ethical dimensions into their work. Human-centered issues, such asecology, environmental protection, and life cycle considerations, now occupy a much moreprominent place in their consciousness.Linking theory with practice.

However, student veterans who never attended college mustlearn to navigate an unfamiliar environment and its structure that focuses on the needs andinterest of younger students. The cultural values developed by service members also includeprofessional expectations: timeliness, discipline, accountability, and authenticity. Theseprofessional characteristics are highly sought by employers and instructors. Regardless ofpersonal identity, race, religion, or political association, veterans largely seek each other due totheir shared values that guide
topics relevant to seven engineering disciplines, including chemical, civil, electricaland computer, environmental, industrial and systems, mechanical, and “other” engineeringdisciplines. The civil engineering FE exam questions are categorized into 14 different subjects,including mathematics and statistics, ethics and professional practice, engineering economics,statics, dynamics, mechanics of materials, materials, fluid mechanics, surveying, water resourcesand environmental, structural, geotechnical, transportation, and construction. Most questions onthe FE exam are multiple-choice format, with a single correct answer. All questions are scoredas either correct or incorrect; no partial credit is given. The exam is computer-based andadministered

Starting from this, new evaluation methods are being sought that better fit the wayof learning of each student, so our research will focus on finding a new form of evaluation basedon frequent unannounced evaluations to improve student learning. and contribute to academicintegrity. This new method was applied in civil engineering and architecture courses, along withactivities that develop student learning.Background/FrameworkAcademic integrity within the student environment is related to honesty, responsibility, andrespect, and implies that students must follow rules and regulations, demonstrating theircommitment to responsibility and ethics against frowned upon activities
assess high school graduates forcompetency in mathematics, reading or writing in the name of DEI [16], [17], [18].In this milieu, the new engineering professor enters the American university. Alongside the needto research, serve the college and profession, mentor graduate students, and publish, theengineering professor has an ethical responsibility to help shape the next generation ofinnovative engineers. Meanwhile, many of their students, through no personal fault, enter collegewithout the habits of mind or self-control expected of previous generations of collegeundergraduates. New educators may find students who struggle to adapt to the model of highereducation that produced the educators. Further, college graduates must self-direct their

But [S2] obviously didn't feel that way.” (S4)S1 discussed how there’s several ways a student can be more competent than others and howthese play into power dynamics of how students view and treat one another, “I think another part in there is competency, whether a student is more competent than another, whether it's in their engineering, or even their own, English or verbal skills or their work ethic, you know. I think there are a lot of, power dynamics there in play where you know, peers can see things differently and

Finally, in the sixth week of the term, the culmination of the project was reached,successfully achieving the objectives and delivering a complete and operational system.Societal, Environmental, and Ethical ImpactAt the start of the project, the aim was to provide a practical learning environment that simulates anautomated process in a collaborative work cell. The intended goal is to provide students with anintuitive look at what sorts of systems would be present in an automated production process, aswell as insights on how such systems can be applied for small-scale and artisan productioncompanies that wish to introduce automation into their process
average, students can work to understand their mistakes during the term instead of during the last week of the term after testing day. Also, an analysis of the class average design requires Statics skills but a competition-winning design requires a full consideration of the kinematics, best-case hole location, worst-case retraction angle and force, and accuracy of the laser cutter, amongst other concerns. The winning designs often have disturbingly small factors of safety, which might send a troubling message to students about engineering ethics. Simply put, the class average approach followed by Instructor C attempts to keep fundamental Statics skills at the center of the work. It also avoids the public
