We have developed rubrics for scoring grantapplications that are aligned with the institutional teaching model. Not only does this removesome subjectivity from the award process, but it also increases awareness of the model.The commission also works with students each year to administer an Excellence in TeachingAward.

.This experience allowed us to go to the next level: to participate in the curricular innovation offour careers, introducing innovation and entrepreneurship subjects within the educational system.However, the Chilean social unrest in October 2019 and the world COVID-19 pandemic forcedus quickly to rethink how to approach, in this new reality, the subjects we were alreadyfacilitating in person.The critical question was, is it possible to bring the richness of face-to-face experience focusedon active methods from the constructivist educational paradigm to the virtual world while alsorespecting expected learning? We understood the importance of knowing the people we had towork with, students and teachers, so the first thing was to understand how

In order to examine how thepandemic may have impacted the academic success of students in the ELC, it is necessary tocompare student outcomes for the Fall 2019 ELC cohort with other students who alsoexperienced the pandemic at the same point in their academic career. Further, since theuniversity implemented temporary policies for modified grading options in the Spring 2020semester, using only GPA as the student outcome for comparison is inadequate; in addition toGPA, comparing utilization of the modified grading policy as well as completion rate willprovide a more complete picture of academic outcomes in the Spring 2020 semester.

The study collects pre- and post-survey data at the beginning and end of thesemester, which may not be sufficient time for students to absorb lessons regarding thesociotechnical nature of engineering from the course. Anecdotally, we have observed students’appreciation of this course increasing as they approach graduation, more so than when they arein or have just completed the course. Future studies may recollect the post survey data later instudents’ college career after the lessons learned in this course have had more time to sink in.ConclusionThe work described in this paper contributes to the growing body of knowledge related to socialjustice education in engineering.

This paper presents a conceptualmodel for understanding, partnering, and building relationships between engineering teamsand NGOs, organizations that rarely figure in the employment landscape of engineering. Itproposes that sustainable community development (SCD) projects require a level ofembeddedness in communities, engagement, continuity and logistical maturity that mostengineering schools with community-engagement programs are ill equipped to provide bythemselves but that in partnership

Thesuccessful implementation of the new assessment model requires some significant adjustmentsnot only by the students, as discussed above, but also by the instructor. For example, crafting anew exam during most weeks requires the instructor to invest a significant amount of time andenergy throughout the semester. Secondly, the significant reduction of lecture time means theinstructor must restructure much of the class

engineering design, such as systematic contexts, decision making, and collaboration [25].But in the meantime, the engineering design could be an effective activity for teaching liberalarts and engineering students how technology and society interact from the perspective of thecreator of technology, the designer or engineer [26]. In other words, engineering design acts as abridge that smoothly connects between liberal arts and engineering education. Most liberal artsuniversities expose freshmen to engineering design in their first year. On the one hand, first-yearstudents in general lack a clear understanding of the engineering profession and its differentdisciplines. Students are vulnerable to pursuing majors that diverge from their career
