codes often concern technical matters such as onlyundertaking assignments in their areas of competence and professional matters such as acting asfaithful agents or trustees for their clients [1], with little regard to sociopolitical matters such asaddressing discriminations and inequalities in the field of engineering and beyond. Thisdisregard of sociopolitical matters might contribute to the large amount of discrimination in theforms of microaggressions facing engineering students of minoritized backgrounds. For example,a study found that different groups of racially minoritized students experience university campusdifferently in some ways [2]. The term “minoritized” is used to refer to the process of studentminoritization that suggests an

student’s success are summarized and presented inthis paper.1. IntroductionDynamics is a fundamental course in the critical graduation path of almost every engineeringmajor. This is an important pre-requisite class as it lays the foundational concepts for otheradvanced courses such as Mechanical Vibrations, Feedback Controls and Intermediate SystemDynamics. In addition, At the University X, the failing (DFW) rate for Dynamics have beenaround 21% in average for the past 10 years (this translate in around 200 students failing peryear), reaching sometimes even 37% (Figure 1). High failure rates have adverse consequencessuch as delay in many students’ graduation timeline, dropping from engineering majors and thusreducing the university 4-year

engineering design courses. Creating the conditions however, to promote effectiveparticipation from all students in a team is certainly a challenge many instructors may face. Thischallenge often lies in the complexity of group dynamics and untaught skills that are necessary tofunction effectively on a team. Instructors may recognize the value of teaching process skills tostudents, however many may not feel qualified to teach these skills, or may even feeluncomfortable with coaching teams through their conflicts. Traditional mechanisms forpromoting effective team process skills include strategies such as assigning team roles,developing team contracts and organizing project timelines [1]. While these practices havetremendous value, they often focus on

There exists a gap between the skills possessed by graduatesand the industrial requirement. This is often reflected in the form of lack of professional skillswhich involves teamwork and leadership skills [1].The future of the industrial sector, represented by Industry 4.0 has specific requirements liketeamwork and leadership (T&L) skills, self-regulated learning, and critical thinking, which needsto be satisfied by Education 4.0 [2]. T&L skills are highly rated and required skills in theindustry [3]. The competencies defined in Engineers Australia stage 1 [4], consist

In this paper, we review theliterature on working memory, spatial abilities, spatial anxiety, and the relationships betweenthem while focusing on the context of engineering problem-solving. Spatial ability is part of ahidden curriculum: it is relevant in engineering education but not explicitly and consistentlyacknowledged or explained by instructors. In the novice state, learners frequently call uponspatial thinking for problem-solving.

Students lacking pre-knowledge of mathematics andphysics complain about not able to follow the course [1].

A review of studies surveying engineers across engineeringdisciplines and experience levels found that there are four distinct tiers of importance;communication and teamwork were in the tier with highest importance, while math, science, andengineering knowledge were in the tier second from the bottom (5). Professionals withteamwork skills are desirable because high-performing teams have the potential to becomegreater than the sum of their members, especially when tackling interdisciplinary challenges (2).However, teamwork does not receive adequate emphasis for such an

The aim of this work is to share the instructionalapproach on safety and environmental compliance in our capstone course to obtain feedbackfrom other design education experts to improve our instruction.The need for enhanced process safety instruction in chemical engineering curricula has beenrecognized for a while in our discipline [1], [2], [3]. A greater awareness of this need resultedfrom the T2 Laboratories runaway reaction and explosion that occurred in Jacksonville, Floridain 2007 [4]. This event served as an impetus for ABET to specifically include process safety as arequired instructional component in chemical engineering curricula

However, according to [4], hands-onlearning should have some form of inquiry process involved, a structured list of activities,and experimentation of manipulation of the artifact is required. The present study used thisoperational definition of hands-on learning in selecting studies for the meta-analysis.Hands-on learning techniques have been shown to increase students’ learning in theclassroom [5].

requirements [1], [2]. Capstone or end-of-degreedesign courses are now prolific in engineering programs across disciplines as a means ofmeeting these standards, and there is a growing body of literature detailing practices incapstone design teaching (e.g. [3]), and models of industry partnership (e.g. [4]). Beyondaccreditation requirements, teaching design through a problem-based approach contributespositively to student motivation [5]. Any design teaching in this way is challenging, but civilengineering, in particular, poses distinct challenges to developing integrated capstone designcoursework.

At times,faculty members may not be trained to be effective mentors and do not have a toolkit of mentoringskills to rely on when inevitable mentoring challenges occur. While there is significant evidencepointing to the value of promoting strong mentorship for research students, there are very fewmentors who receive effective mentor training and mentors often rely solely on their pastexperiences and on observations of other mentors to build their own mentoring styles [1-2].Therefore, it is vital to provide appropriate training for faculty mentors in effective mentoring sothat they can aid their students to be as successful as possible during their formal studies andthroughout their research

In the integrated approach (Fig. 1), pair-by-pair interactions are introduced:faculty are expected to learn about applications from interactions with industry, students areexpected to learn fundamentals from interactions with faculty, and students acquire interpersonaland intrapersonal skills through interactions with industry. These pair-by-pair interactions haveproven to be partially effective ways of knowledge transfer and skill development, but they lackcoherent and synthetic integration.To enrich the integrated approach, we engaged one more step, bringing
