Nonetheless, research andanecdotal experience have indicated that both students and practicing professionals shy away fromstrategic networking, a stance that can hinder their careers. This paper reports on work-in-progress ofdesign and evaluation of course interventions to promote strategic networking among undergraduateengineering students. These experiences are part of a course in Engineering Leadership at Texas A&MUniversity. This paper offers first a literature review and then detail on our course content, networkingactivities, and a reflection connected with effective strategic networking for this class.

statistically significant differences for Scenario 3.LimitationsThere are several limitations inherent to this work. Given the diffuse subject recruitment strategy,it is possible that ethically minded individuals are overrepresented in the sample (i.e., thatethically minded individuals would be more likely to respond to a voluntary survey onengineering ethics). Further, this survey examined individuals at one Research 1 institution in theUnited States and the results may to a degree reflect that (e.g., individual’s views on code sharingmay be influenced by institutional academic integrity culture and rules). Subjects were askedabout their perceptions of the views of industry, but contemporaneous surveying of individualsfrom industry was not an

Learning objectives for the mini-mill experience were to: (1) learn the safetyand controls of a manual milling machine and basic milling operations that included fixed,material scaffolds designed by the course instructor; (3) practice reading and manufacturing fromstandard engineering drawings; and (2) independently apply knowledge of milling machinecontrols and operations to create a basic part with adaptive, pedagogical scaffolding fromteaching assistants and machinists. All deliverables for this exercise were individually completedby students and required a mixture of hands-on activity, written reflection, and online trainingand survey

While the immigration status of these faculty istransitional, their specific cultural and racial identity carries forward. Unfortunately, theclassification of these individuals in URM/Non-URM status is complicated [25], as 1) the URMdefinition used by NSF is based on underrepresentation in STEM fields relative to the overall U.S.population, but FB faculty are drawn from the world population where the ethnic groups adverselyaffected by systemic inequities may or may not align with the U.S. definitions; 2) FB faculty ofBlack and Hispanic backgrounds are included in URM, which raises the number of URM facultybut does not reflect an improvement in the including of

Assessment tasks are designed to be directly relevant tothe learning objectives and often require students to apply their knowledge and skills in authenticcontexts. This approach enables educators to assess not only the final product of learning but alsothe learning process itself, including students’ problem-solving strategies, critical thinking, andability to apply knowledge in real-world situations [24].Embedded assessment comes with many challenges.

The educationprovided to the technician of this era reflected the technology of the day and was therefore –component or parts centric.

However, they typically represent simplified solutions that generallyfail to fully reflect reality. In most real-world situations, the analytic solutions simply do notexist, and one cannot proceed without the assistance of a computer. Although some textbookhave sections discussing numerical methods, many of them contain just the theory of numericalmethods, and one is required to posses programming skill for practice; this part has generallybeen neglected.
