The chief aim of these projects is to enable students to become a factor

Students gained valuable transferable skills while workingon this project including creative thinking, audience awareness, teamwork, technical writing,visual design, and communication. The authors of this paper, who include the students thatworked on the project, aim to promote and encourage the idea of undergraduate students activelyengaging and creating STEM programs and initiatives for K-12.IntroductionThe idea of STEM education has been around since the early 1900’s. Originally called, SMET(science, mathematics, engineering, and technology), educators focused on instructing studentsin skills that would benefit their future societies[1]. The idea of enriching these fields by creatingstudents well versed in them quickly
complete all four years at WUST or transfer to UB after two years, will be granted aCertificate of Graduation and a Bachelor’s degree from WUST after satisfactorilycompleting of the program requirements. There are several important characteristics of theprogram between UB and WUST: (1) the program focuses on a specific academic program,so both universities design the program that fits students at WUST: (2) a collaborativeprogram by transferring the credits earned at the other institution: and (3) UB professors visitWUST to teach courses, while WUST faculty members from China visit UB for professionaldevelopments as visiting scholars. As a result of the program, eight WUST students havetransferred to UB at the junior level in Fall 2015, and about
students and morethan 1.800 faculty. The educational project1 of the University of Valparaiso, reformulated in2012, has been defined as “learning outcomes oriented”, which is a nuanced interpretation ofthe learning outcomes educational model. This approach was undertaken to allow the initialintroduction of the learning outcomes model in a public and traditional university, whereresistance to change and administration formalism are serious threats to a massive curriculartransformation. Hence this definition does not necessarily force to completely change allcurricula, but rather a conceptual change that involves four key elements2: 1. Graduate profiles are formulated in terms of learning outcomes 2. Curricular design must be driven by the
Perspectives in Science and Engineering Ethics Abstract In 2014 an interdisciplinary team of researchers from the University of Delaware began a 5-‐year project with the Online Ethics Center (OEC) to gather international perspectives on science and engineering ethics, broadly construed.1 We seek instructional and scholarly materials from international institutions and individual foreign scholars and teachers. This paper describes the rationale and outlines the theoretical foundation of this project. The central issue to be addressed here is: if there is indeed a benefit to the “internationalization” of science and
laboratories based onsimulations are called Virtual Laboratories [1-5]. On the other hand, hands-on/physicalexperiments require equipment. With the traditional approach of performing experimentdirectly with equipment, the need for equipment grows proportionally to the increase ofthe number of students, often resulting in considerable expenses. Following hands-onapproach, the only way for universities to share the same equipment is if the students of aother universities are moving physically to a given university to perform their laboratorysessions. We all now know that one way to overcome this drawback is the use of remotelaboratories [6-14]. Remote laboratories allow students to access and manipulate realequipment located anywhere in the world
produces significantlearning gains for students, although research is sparse on learning thataccrues from internships and co-ops in engineering (Linn, Howard, & Miller,2004). Still, it is estimated that thousands of students participate in either co-op or internships annually, 67% of recent college graduates completed atleast one internship while in school, and 56% of employers expect to hiremore interns in the future. Despite their widespread use and popularity, weknow relatively little about the influence of co-ops and internships on URMstudents' learning in engineering. This is the gap addressed by this study. 1 There is

• Panel #1 – Introductory Questions:• We will open the session by asking each panelist to spend 5 – 10 minutes responding to any or all of the following questions as they choose.1. What is your society’s perspective, in general, on the capability of BS-ET graduates to succeed in engineering positions?2. Has your society ever polled its membership to determine their hiring practices and experiences w.r.t. ET graduates in engineering roles?3. What other data does your society have that can demonstrate performance of ET graduates in the engineering workplace?4. Current standards of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management prohibit BS-ET graduates from being considered for an entry-level engineering position without having additional
education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context(i) a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning (j) a knowledge of contemporary issues(k) an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice. 15Proposed Revisions to EAC Criterion 3• The program must have documented student outcomes. Attainment of these outcomes prepares graduates to enter the professional practice of engineering. Student outcomes are outcomes (1) through (7) plus any additional outcomes that may be
