Paper ID #35241CAOA Online Curriculum Project AbstractDr. George D. Ricco, University of Indianapolis George D. Ricco is an assistant professor of engineering and first-year engineering coordinator at the University of Indianapolis. He focuses his work between teaching the first two years of introductory en- gineering and engineering design and research in student progression. Previously, he was a special title series assistant professor in electrical engineering at the University of Kentucky, and the KEEN Program Coordinator at Gonzaga University in the School of Engineering and Applied Science. He completed his
systems design andmechanical systems design courses with the goal of disrupting the social/technical dualism presentin engineering curriculum that often discourages engineering students from learning about andparticipating in social justice issues and discussions. Using a modular four-step process the socialjustice assignments have students engage in engineering analysis while at the same timeconsidering the impacts of the engineering technology on different groups of people. The firstiteration implementing the modules in a thermal systems design course showed studentengagement in the topics, and overall, a positive experience for the both the instructor and thestudents. The next steps for this project are to incorporate social justice modules

Session 18-2 Promoting Critical Thinking Skills Through a Capstone Course Mohamad H. Ahmadian Electronics Engineering Technology Eastern New Mexico University AbstractStudents must be taught to think critically, communicate, and work together effectively. Ifstudents are to become disciplined thinkers, they need to do a good deal of active thinking to takeownership of the content they are learning. Learning to think well requires many opportunitiesfor practice in thinking through problems and issues
theAcES program in 2020 and early 2021; however, efforts and adaptations were made to remainconnected with the students during that challenging time. Advising appointments as well asindividual and focus group interviews for all cohorts were held virtually. Unfortunately, thosestudents from the 2019 cohort who chose to leave engineering for a different major did notcomplete the surveys in spring 2020. GPA scholarship renewal guidelines were waived for thefall 2020 semester to accommodate those students who took advantage of the (one-time only)Pass/Fail grading option or who earned lower grades due to the unique challenges of completingcourses in an online environment in which many of the faculty were learning to use theeducational technology along

Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) approval is very important for anyEngineering program that any educational institution wants to develop. The laboratory component is to beincluded in certain courses of any Engineering program. Civil Engineering needs to have the laboratoriessuch as Strength of Materials Laboratory, Civil Engineering Materials Laboratory and the SurveyingLaboratory. If the educational institution does not have one of those mentioned above, then theaccreditation by ABET is almost impossible to get. The following benefits the students will gain afterthey graduate from the ABET accredited program are mentioned in the ABET website as follows: • Enhances your employment opportunities—multinational corporations require

Thisapplications laboratory required students to research the parameters necessary to model thisengine that were not part of the data set provided by the manufacturer. The research andmodeling encompassed areas such as technology level, efficiencies, fuel consumption, andperformance. The end result was a two-page report containing the students’ calculationscomparing the performance of the engine with the manufacturer’s specifications.
