engineering education, students should have aclear understanding that the nature of their job is directly affecting the environment and theirpractices are governed by the code of ethics, which calls on sustainable development. How weteach or train students to develop their engineering skills, becomes an essential tool to nurturesustainability in their future practice, which was recognized as a pressing issue for educators [1]-[3]. Promoting sustainability as part of everyday practice could establish the missing link toenhance environmental attitudes of engineering students [4], [5].Many empirical studies reported that environmental education, either as a semester course or as asummer program, not only improves knowledge and awareness of environmental

Figure 1 shows a timeline which summarizes the majorchanges to the FE exam.The computer-based FE exam is administered through Pearson Vue test centers (during fourtesting windows: Jan-Feb, Apr-May, Jul-Aug, Oct-Nov), which maintains hundreds of NCEES-approved test centers both in the U.S. and at international locations [5]. Starting in 2017, thecomputer-based FE introduced a new testing component called alternative item types (AITs),which are questions other than traditional multiple-choice questions [11]. In 2018, theexamination fee was reduced from $225 to $175 [5].The only reference material that may be used

Rather than replace humans, most AI systems will collaborate with humans to achieve optimal performance. Research is needed to create effective interactions between humans and AI systems. • Strategy 3: Understand and address the ethical, legal, and societal implications of AI. We expect AI technologies to behave according to the formal and informal norms to which we hold our fellow humans. Research is needed to understand the ethical, legal, and social implications of AI, and to develop methods for designing AI systems that align with ethical, legal, and societal goals. • Strategy 4: Ensure the safety and

glance, one mayassume that factors such as student aptitude (understanding engineering concepts) and work ethic(study and preparation skills) are the leading contributors to student attrition. However, the vastmajority of engineering students, whether they are aware of it or not, do certainly have the requiredaptitude to succeed (apparent in the fact that they met the engineering school admission criteria),and work ethic is a characteristic that all can attain (if they do not already have it). While thesepotential barriers of aptitude and work ethic surely play a role in effecting retention, modernresearch has shown that there are other individual constructs that not only play a very influentialrole in retention, but are even more meaningful
changes to the language and definitions pertaining to all Criteria heavily influenced the development ofPerformance Indicators and their subsequent Barometric Assessments. The most challenging aspects of this aredescribed below.The first is the definition, and rather inclusive aspects, of Engineering Design. The legacy student outcome (c) requiredthat engineering design, “meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social,political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability”. The use of the term “such as” as adeterminer indicates that only a subset of need and constraints is required. The new Student Outcome states,“engineering design solutions must meet specified needs with

If we are [u]nstable in how we are connected to ourselves and those immediately around us, it will be virtually impossible for us to do it to the entire world. These lessons of understanding human experiences from different perspectives, empathizing with them and considering them in the decisions we make is what will set us apart as conscious and ethical engineers that add positive value to the world.Perhaps the strongest statement about the need for empathy and reflection in engineering camefrom a student who asserted that these were the tools that could prevent engineering fromperpetuating deeply entrenched systems of discrimination in society

An initial assignment is to fill out Part I of the template; that isstudents must first state the broad scientific, technological, or societal drivers and significance oftheir work. Next they articulate the specific goals, objectives, or research question to beaddressed in their work. Typically two or three rewrites of Part I

Attempts to solve wicked problemsfrequently yield unintended outcomes that render the solution unsatisfactory or incomplete.Environmental engineering practice addresses challenges more like wicked problems than tameproblems. Accordingly, teaching principles of environmental engineering “in context” of the realsocial, political, economic and technical dimensions that exist with the challenges professionalsface in practice provides students with an opportunity to develop critical thinking skillsnecessary to be successful in their careers.

study with this being “What are the 10-20 most importanttopics in [your discipline] and how these are related?”.MethodologyAt the first week of the term, in the first tutorial session of the class, students enrolled in thecourse CHBE 220 were presented with an exercise to use concept mapping to outline the 10-20most important concepts in chemical and biological engineering and map out how these conceptswere related. Students in the class were first presented with a consent form approved by theuniversity’s Research Ethics Board explaining the study. All students in the course were asked tocomplete concept maps and these were marked only for completion. Concept map data fromstudents not opting in to the study was not used for further analysis
students grasp what sustainable design “is” or “should look like.”IntroductionThe first canon of the American Society of Civil Engineers’ code of ethics reminds students,professors, and practicing engineers of the professional responsibility to hold paramount publicsafety and welfare and “strive to comply with the principles of sustainable development in theperformance of their professional duties” [1]. Accordingly, engineering graduates are expected todemonstrate knowledge, skills, and attitudes that will position them to design sustainablesystems. ABET reinforced this expectation with a special issue brief released in November 2018and titled “Sustainable Education: Readying Today’s Higher Ed Students to Tackle the World’sGrand Challenges.” The

The NSE emphasizes the need to“enforce the maintenance of discipline and strict standards of ethics in the practice of theengineering profession in Nigeria”33, however ethic courses do not seem to be part of theengineering curriculum at Nigerian universities. As long as ethics is not part of the academiccurriculum, Nigeria will continue to suffer from corruption and remain classified as a developingcountry despite its richness in natural resources.References 1.
