The constructed wetlands modules were developed usingstandard fish tanks purchased at a local pet supply store. The fish tanks were 24.1 inches long,12.6 inches wide, and 17 inches high. A perforated PVC drain pipe was installed along thebottom of the tank, which was connected to a valve on the outside of the tank where effluentsamples could be collected. The soil composition in each constructed wetlands module had thefollowing soil mixtures: Tank 1: 40% compost 60% sandy loam Tank 2: 30% compost 10% shredded bark 60% sandy loam Tank 3: 20% compost 20% shredded bark 60% sandy loam Tank 4: 10% compost 30

Engineering Department at Cal Poly Pomona started a video tutorial library onYouTube named CPPMechEngTutorials that has grown to over 600 videos across 16 courses(https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZScjkZuVuvwa-JVA3mHO3w). The video library was acollaborative effort that involved over half of the department’s full-time faculty who eithercreated videos, allowed their lectures to be recorded, or contributed ideas and feedback duringthe planning of videos. The videos have accumulated over 11 million views and the YouTubechannel has over 100,000 subscribers as of May 1, 2022, making the video library one of CalPoly Pomona’s largest outreach efforts. Since the YouTube platform provides limited options forthe organization of videos, links to the videos are

These challenges were largelyunexplored in the past, but there has been a recent increase in the number of studies focusing onLGBTQIA+ students in engineering and STEM [6].

) Historically, harassment has been categorized based on legal definitions, verbal and/orpsychological, and behavioral. For instance, Fitzgerald and colleagues (1997) categorized sexualharassment under three main subtypes (also known as the tripartite model): gender harassment(e.g., sexual hostility, sexist hostility), unwanted sexual attention, and sexual coercion. Othershave categorized four varying definitions of sexual harassment: (1) legal, (2) psychological, (3)sex-based, and (4) behavioral and categorized them under objective (i.e., quid pro quo) andsubjective categories (e.g., hostile work environment) (Berdahl, 2007; Fitzgerald et al., 1997;O’Leary-Kelly et al., 2009). In addition, harassment can be identity or non-identity-based (Raver&

Their design solutions must meet the needs of stakeholders at different levels,from direct users to regulatory entities. To achieve these goals, educating engineering students in systemsthinking, which can facilitate such goals, is crucial to the students’ success and requires a teaching andlearning approach that is supported by a socio-technical context-rich environment. Instead of offering aproblem statement with pre-defined knowledge, educators should begin with presenting an engineeringproblem to students, training them on how to obtain and extract proper information to identify the trueproblem themselves.

Generally, students appreciate when their courseworkis going to be relevant preparation for the industry, especially when those courses use industry tooling todo so [1]. More specifically, students appreciate tooling that provides automated feedback rather thanhaving to wait on a mentor or professor [2]. Such tooling is even more beneficial to students when theyare involved in the creation of the test harness itself as it prepares them for the

” courses—relies crucially on concepts covered in the first few weeks of the course. If a student does notbuild an understanding of the foundational concepts covered during those first weeks, they willbe unable to understand the remaining material in the course. Such students either strugglethrough the rest of the course as they try to learn past material and keep up with the current topic,or they withdraw from the course entirely. Thus, helping students understand the concepts in thefirst weeks of the course is essential to their continued success. Methods for identifying andhelping students who are likely to struggle in CS1 courses would be widely applicable,particularly since those courses are known to have a low passing rate (68%) [1].Students

alternative approach to engineering ethics education involves framingand cultivating virtues to guide the way students learn to behave, think, and feel in order to do themorally right things, for the right reasons, and in the right ways (Pierrakos, 2019). This argumentfor character education suggests that while current engineering ethics education typically focuseson student decision-making during specific times of ethical dilemmas, character educationfocuses on the practice and acquisition of virtues that prepare students for their own ethicaldecision-making in any complex situation (Pincoffs, 1986). This approach serves several,simultaneous roles: (1) it provides a common, accessible language for students to (2) engage inethical discussions and

Consequently, it is imperative that engineers enter the professionfully prepared to make ethically sound decisions in response to the ethical dilemmas andchallenges they may confront. While every engineering discipline has a code of ethics to guidedecisions that have ethical implications [1], codes of ethics have several limitations. First, theycannot possibly capture every potential situation that may arise where ethical decision-making isnecessary. Second, they are of limited use when faced with ethical dilemmas for which there isno clear choice that does not carry some degree of ethical risk. The overarching motivation forour work is to address the need for a practical framework that can be used to teach ethicaldecision
