We offer a broad-based curriculum with a grounding in the “fundamentals” of electrical, mechanical, and chemicalengineering, along with some specialization through disciplinary electives. Students earn a B.S. inEngineering Science, and customize their program with help from their academic advisor. Moredetailed information on the program is given in a paper by Uddin1.The “fundamentals” courses, required of all engineering majors, include (in the electronicsportion) Electric Circuits, Electric Circuits Laboratory, Electronics I, and Electronics I Proceedings of the 2005 ASEE Gulf-Southwest Annual Conference Texas A&M University – Corpus Christi

The northern region of Denmark faces particularchallenges compared to the rest of the country when it comes to industry’s need for STEMcandidates in the future, thus it is essential to initiate local efforts to ensure diversity in STEM-educations and career paths and to improve retention in pre-college engineering and highereducation STEM [21].

Inscience and engineering education, laboratory experiments are important components becausethey set the stage for practical experience in understanding theoretical concepts or directlysolving real-world problems. Students often gain more experience and knowledge fromexperimental labs than from purely theoretical lectures. Computer-based modeling andsimulation (M&S) methodologies have great potential to address this issue. By building highlyrealistic 3D teaching environments that emulate the real classroom, in which the equipment andtools needed for experimentation are configured and equipped, students not only can obtain anauthentic learning experience, but can also avoid potential hazards on human or equipmentinvolved in

of a student that might drive their interest in learning about processsafety is their perception of its importance in their future career. Based on interactionswith students while teaching safety, the authors argue that student perceptions of theimportance of safety within industry tend to differ from most industries' safety cultures.This discrepancy can be somewhat supported by a study of laboratory safety attitudeswithin academic, government, and industrial researchers [13]. In this study, self-reported PPE compliance behavior varied greatly between industry labs wherecompliance was higher than academic labs. Lab coat and eye protection compliancewas 87% and 83% in industrial labs compared to 66% and 61% academic, respectively.While not

Numerous STEM students indicated thatwhen learning via a computer screen, they are unable to focus as readily or retain as muchinformation, resulting in a loss of motivation [17]. Prior to the pandemic, students relied onuniversity services like libraries, computer laboratories, and campus wi-fi to complete theireducational requirements; however, these were lost due to school closures [14].

IntroductionMost programs for teaching ethics are based on behavioral approaches1,2. Students arenormally presented with a case study and a code of ethics, and are told that specificactions violate specific sections of a code. Very frequently, the results of the case studyare included, so the students are not given the freedom to participate in the decisionprocess. A prepared case study leads to the laboratory procedure, and the conclusionsstated as part of the case study corresponds to the results that the students must get ontheir laboratory computation sheets.
