Thefreshman year programs implemented showed success in recruiting students for the S-STEMprogram, and can serve as a model for other undergraduate programs looking to enrich theexperiences of their undergraduates by providing a comprehensive, supportive, and career-relevant environment inside and outside of the classroom.1. IntroductionEngineering education is constantly evolving and changing to meet the current and projectedneeds of the engineering profession. In 2010 1 the National Society of Professional Engineers(NSPE) released a position statement proposing additional undergraduate engineering outcomes:Leadership, Risk and

are necessary for assessing educationaloutcomes across engineering problem contexts. We are in the process of updating and refiningthe rubric’s content and structure to reflect current practices and ensure its applicability acrossdisciplines. A systematic literature review of sustainability and sustainable design in engineeringcurricula and practice confirmed most criteria in the rubric but also indicated several gaps. Somegaps were expected because the original rubric was directed towards civil and environmentalengineering projects, but most of the themes were confirmed in other disciplines. Examples ofpotential gap areas included ethics, affordability and equity, and innovation. While these areasare reflected in the SD Rubric 1.0, the

These mechanisms are consistent with the BOK andvalidated by a community of professional peers.Body of Knowledge Development ProcessAM will thrive as a field with a strong base of professionals who share a common set of ethics andknowledge based on a BOK. An AM BOK, in the context of a professional model like the onedepicted in Figure 1, will also ensure that formal learning frameworks and industry competenciesmutually reinforce. To this end, we are developing an AM BOK to test and refine in the contextof a large-scale triangulation of AM program syllabi, job posting

However, the consideration of diversepersons is often not foregrounded in the development of the underlying technologies that makethese features possible. As a result, diverse populations are not granted equal access to thesetechnologies and may be underserved by them.The purpose of this intervention is to develop student awareness about the ethical considerationsassociated with

It is often espoused as an essential skill byengineering employers [4] but generally not reified or taught within undergraduate engineeringeducation.Current approaches to fostering adaptability in engineering emphasize experiential learningopportunities such as team-based projects, co-op/internships, and undergraduate research.However, these activities seldom provide formal adaptability training, and whether they nurtureor merely test adaptability is unclear. This project calls for adaptability to be explicitly taughtand assessed, much like other professional skills such as communication and ethics that havebeen added to ABET criteria [5
