Use of theFailure to Act studies as part of life cycle cost analysis in engineering mathematics, design,and/or economics courses within an engineering program provides hands-on, real-worldexposure to applications of these concepts. These can be used to help meet or enhance ABET-accredited curriculum goals to “prepare students for engineering practices while incorporatingappropriate engineering standards and multiple

The studentfelt this meant the instructor did not think anyone taking that medication would be in college.Ehlinger & Ropers’ [33] findings show ways for instructors to make disabled students feel morewelcome in their courses and improve learning. Instructors can make a space for many differenttypes of students as part of making their classrooms more accessible to disabled students.Instructors should avoid conveying that they expect only certain kinds of people to be in theircourses.Universal Design (UD) is frequently recommended as an approach to integrate accommodationsinherently into courses [38], [40], [42].

As Eyler points out, such opportunities provide students with “‘real world’challenge” [5, p. 41], and through workplace experiences students often come to see “therelevance of the curriculum to life in a complex organization” [5, p. 50]. Eyler (1993) morespecifically found that co-op students learned how to be “an expert on people and organizations”[5, p. 47], including how to be an effective member of their employing organization. It has alsobeen argued that internship or co-op programs are helpful for students’ professional growth [6].Based on their empirical study with business students, Bhattacharya and Neelam reported thatstudents developed greater confidence, negotiation skills, social sensitivity, and cross-culturalunderstanding

aptitude [2]. When community service is integrated into a school’s curriculum, it hasbeen found to increase students’ enjoyment of learning, academic motivation, and performance[2-3]. In adults, reports have shown that volunteering improves physical and mental health,boosts self-esteem, and increases overall happiness [4]. Students who support communityengagement initiatives such as volunteering related to their discipline, gain applicable experienceand advocate for their careers [5].Service learning is one type of community service in which projects are assigned within astudent’s curriculum [6].

the language is only a meansto social gains with very little interest in the culture or the community of people who speak thelanguage. On the contrary, the integrative orientation implies a personal involvement or desireto connect with the community that speaks the language, get access to its culture or evenbecome a member of the group. The former distinction is not supposed to be taken as amutually exclusive dichotomy since there is an element of instrumentality in the integrativeorientation [21] [22].

This reflection occurs in their working groups.The modified ILD combines the theoretical class (mainly exposition by the instructor) withthe experimental class to offer students an integrative experience. This study involved 47students from two groups of a first-year university course in acoustical physics.Applying the modified ILD methodology, a qualitative study was conducted analyzing thestudents' responses to the guides and their conclusions. This study presents the results of theanalysis with a focus on determining the students' scientific skills in obtaining data
, planning, and implementing design solutions. Theauthors found that students who participated in the creative lab demonstrated a higher confidencein continuing in engineering coursework than those who did not. As the study states, “Creativityis an important attribute for engineers practicing their profession in a global society” [12].Although students struggled with the open-ended nature of the design problems, they enjoyed thecourse and saw the value in the addition to their curriculum. Illustrating the importance of incorporating real-world engineering design problems, Odehet al. write, “Nowadays, engineering education needs to meet the requirements and needs ofbusiness and industry. This can be achieved by collaborating with the local
Core Curriculum cultivates social justice, civic life, perspective, andcivic engagement. It involves community-based learning with a social justice emphasis. Studentsare required to (i) engage in 16 hours of community-based learning experiences and (ii) performcritical reflection and evaluation of their experiences. A primary goal of the ELSJ requirement is“to foster a disciplined sensibility toward power and privilege, an understanding of the causes ofhuman suffering, and a sense of personal and civic responsibility for cultural change.”The specific learning objectives of an ELSJ class are as follows:• Recognize the benefits of life-long responsible citizenship and civic engagement in personal and professional activities (Civic Life
born to families made up of engineers and otherprofessional in closely aligned fields (e.g., scientists), no one grows up using the language andliteracy practices of engineering, exactly. These abilities are taught and learned and make up thebasis for writing pedagogy in engineering education often called writing in the disciplines orwriting across the curriculum. The underlying the academic literacy practices in engineeringidentities resides an array of linguistic practices – what Gee would call ways of saying-being-doing-feeling. Considering the cultural basis for these ways of making meaning is important inthe age of AI as students collaborate with and negotiate language with large language models.However, before considering how language
