and fine-tuning were carried out to ensure the functionality and reliabilityof the system. 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

overcome any obstacles that they might havefaced. This is evident when looking for reasons why engineering students drop out. To nosurprise, there are a plethora of pitfalls an individual can make, with no recognition of theinstitutional hurdles that act as gatekeepers in perpetuating the current makeup of engineering as“pale and male” [62, p. 9]. As listed by industry and blogger articles, reasons that students dropout of engineering programs include: poor work ethic, inability to deal with failure, and lackingthe engineering mindset [63]. It is common talk among engineers that when trying to explain the dearth of women andPOC in engineering, meritocracy is used to justify by stating things such as “they aren’t cut outto be an engineer” or

argue and change their grades.While these features of traditional grading can be criticized for how they can impede studentlearning, we also want to balance the view that these features have their own reason in theeducation system. For example, summative grades are important for managing academicstandings, scholarships, and graduate school admission. One-off examinations are common inprofessional licensure processes (e.g., engineering ethics examination). The complexity behindgrading stems from the fact that grades are not just intended for student learning; they are alsoimportant for social and professional constructs [4].In response to the negative effects of traditional grading, ungrading has been advocated toremove grades entirely from the

essential for the creation of attitudesrelated to solving social problems as well as for developing the abilities that could help them. This vision has been appropriated for American engineering curricula considering thatengineering can have a humanistic approach through specific courses or methodologies, theassessment of their activities from a perspective of the ethics, and the reflection about therelationship between engineering and technology, including its impacts [8]. In that sense, themain objective is deconstructing engineering from a utilitarian perspective, based on effectivityand loyalty to institutions, to reconstruct it in a libertarian or communitarian perspective based

We addressed these skills through articulating and modeling behaviors thatmay not, at first, seem to belong in a communication framework. For example, it might soundobvious, but we told students to bring their calendars and a notebook and pen to every meeting.We also created a form that incorporated both writing milestones and task-related milestones totrack progress and completion of task components and the entire task.

For example, in a textbook intended to guideengineering students in the design of community-based service-learning projects instructsstudents that “.. people should be involved in the engineering process. You should always knowyour community partner, your stakeholders …. and their needs and desires. Frame yourengineering project within these parameters, and work with these groups throughout the project.”The text goes on to talk about understanding the project from historical, cultural, ethical, societal,educational

It called for involving allstakeholders (students, industry, faculty, administrators) in the design phases, having toreach a consensus in defining the graduating engineer skills, his/her competencies andvalues, as well as the desired learning outcomes. To enhance the learning experience,courses had to include hands on activities, industry projects and other non-traditionalexperiences, which emphasized skills development, like teamwork, ethics and effectivecommunication.

The professors also tie a string to the students‟ wrists and sometimes neckwhile wishing them well in their studies. The string becomes a physical memory of the ceremonyand should be kept on for several days.Even though the respect from student to instructor seems less than before (especially in a largecity such as Bangkok) this tradition is still very strict in other regions of Thailand.

In today’sglobally competitive economy, it is more important than ever to develop effective design skillswithin the undergraduate years. However, before effective design learning experiences todevelop the skills necessary for human-centered design can be created, an understanding of theways in which students experience human-centered design is needed. This paper provides anoverview of a phenomenographic study that explores students’ understanding of human-centereddesign, presents the resulting outcomes space, and discusses the educational implications of thefindings.MotivationDesign has long been a core function of engineers
