As an engineer it is my responsibility to work in the bestinterest of the public, and that simply wouldn’t be possible if 1) I wasn’t able to effectivelyunderstand and work with coworkers of different backgrounds, and 2) If I couldn’t understandcultural values and their differences among the people I am supposed to work for. This ties a lotinto what I need to continue developing, as intercultural competence is not something you justlearn and never forget. The world and all the people in it are continuously changing, so to makesure that I continue to do my best work while keeping everybody’s wants and needs in mind issomething that is going to require me to continue learning, evolving, and seeking out discomfortin
Engineering Courses to Enhance Student LearningAbstractIn recent years, many universities are looking for alternatives to in-person teaching. Offeringengineering courses in online formats: either fully web-based or hybrid format can be quitechallenging. While some students still prefer in-person teaching for engineering courses, thereare also significant benefits to online formats. For many universities/programs, it is a way ofattracting nontraditional students as well as students from other universities since it generatesadditional student credit hours, which would not be possible with traditional in-person class.With this in mind, we started offering two engineering courses: one design class at theundergraduate level, and another materials class at
Engineering Technologycurricula specifically needs further attention. This gap highlights the need for enhancingentrepreneurship education in this field, considering the industry's demand for graduates whoare both technically skilled and entrepreneurially minded. This research explores theintegration of entrepreneurship into an Engineering Technology (ET) program, with a focus ona sustainable building course. It employs innovative educational strategies such as micro-moments, bisociation, virtual reality, entrepreneurial tasks, and a project-based approach todevelop real-world problem-solving skills. The effectiveness of this approach was assessedthrough a quantitative and qualitative survey to understand student perceptions. Findings revealstudents
student’s perspective, “Honestly, no, I had no idea what engineering was, I was just like, ‘Okay, math and science school; we got it,’ and then like somehow that just kind of became synonymous with engineer-, with that definition. They’re like, ‘Oh you can be an engineer,’ I’m like, ‘Okay, I guess so?’ And I only really got a feel for what I’d be doing [after I got] up here....I don’t know what it [engineering] is.” (p. 12, [12])This frame of mind is pervasive among students in their first year of a program. However, there is alsoevidence to suggest that students still do not understand the nature of engineering practice upongraduating from an engineering program, especially when their engineering design

The opportunity to learn real business and engineering skills while working on one’s ownidea should appeal to many students.The process most often used for idea generation is brainstorming10. This involves students whosuggest anything that comes to their mind, and feed off one another’s ideas, and seeks to create alarge list of potential products in an environment free of criticism. Students will then work togenerate potentially marketable product concepts.Once the list of potential products is developed, each product or concept should be evaluated,considering student interest in the project, strengths and weaknesses of the concept, feasibility ofexecution, etc. By the end of this process each student group should have a potentially

To challenge conceptualizations of engineering thatreproduce and maintain inequitable processes and outcomes, educators must interrogate whatcounts as engineering and support such reflection in their students. Educators must teach thatengineering is sociotechnical in nature [7]; authentic engineering problem-solving is contextual[13], [23]; and engineering is part of justice movements [1], [20]. Such teaching requires bothequitable pedagogy – to model equitable practices and create environments in which students canlearn to be equity-minded engineers – as well as equity-centered content – in

Potential things to keep in mind as you write your ARM include: • Who is this interviewee?

Does this perception relate to how they see themselves as engineers (or not see themselves as

However, leaders often do not begin as great leaders often receiving performancefeedback that prompts them to engage in conscious self-reflection and self-evaluation of theirinfluence on those around them [12], [13]. Self-evaluation and self-regulation make up twodimensions of self-awareness that have been evaluated under the OSA theory, but there are otheraspects or contributors of self-awareness have been examined such as emotional intelligence[14], self-insight [15], motivation [5], [16], self-reflection [13], [17], [18], and mindfulness [19].

Whenworking as an engineer, or even studying to become an engineer, a common fact that is oftenrepeated refers to how you will be responsible for the safety and general health of the public.Whether it is structural, or machinery based, engineers overlook and measure out a great deal offactors, keeping the safety of the public in mind when working.

studies were based on engineering subjects and that many ofthe studies lacked “mean scores, standard deviations, and number of observations required for ameta-analysis” [19]. This – along with other information missing from a number of the 55 reports– means that these findings may not be representative of the outcome of implementing a flippedclassroom [19]. Additionally, their 55 studies were focused on articles from 2013-2016 [19]. Thus,with online learning being more commonly used and the problems with conducting a meta-analysisof this type, newer research should be conducted on this topic, keeping in mind these literaturereviews recommendations for future tests [19], [23].The other systematic review analyzed 32 articles and found that few

students joining a department. Community Cultural Wealth (CCW) was created with Communities of Color in mind to highlight the multitude of assets students of color possess. CCW uses familial, linguistic, aspirational, resistant, navigational, and social capital to describe students’ strengths in and out of the classroom. These capitals appear in multiple settings and from many different sources. They also can be depicted simultaneously as a single capital cannot describe some strengths. For example, a role model for a student may provide both aspirational and navigational capitals simultaneously as they aid a student through the college experience.

, that he seeks to temperand correct. Indeed, he precedes his critique by making some concessions to the work of C.Daniel Batson, originator of the “empathy-altruism hypothesis”—a common foundation forresearch on the development of empathy in engineering students. [13] [14]Such research often illuminates the question that animates both Bloom’s work and the responsesto it. Empathy is traditionally understood primarily as a feeling—but models like Batson’sencompass a range of cognitive as well as affective experiences, from “theory of mind” to“empathic distress.” [13] [14] As a result, contested definitions and distinctions create complexlines of disagreement about which types of other-oriented perceptions or sensations count as“empathy” and which
