Yet, at this stage,there is a dearth of educational resources on AI or related technologies that are tailored for thisstudent population [21]. Emerging programs to integrate AI education into industrial engineeringcurriculum include the development of Industry 4.0 themed labs, both physical [22, 23] and virtual[24]. To date, these efforts tend to be technology-focused with an

SCCT predictors contributedsignificant variance in satisfaction and persistence outcomes, with self-efficacy and supportsserving as reliable predictors [4]. We found nonsignificant, single-group differences inassociations within the model (i.e., Latinxs vs. Whites); however, intersectional differences werefound. Specifically, we found contextual differences for Latinx engineering students (i.e.,differences between Latinxs attending HSIs and PWIs). These results suggest that interventionsaimed at broadening Latinxs’ participation in engineering need to be tailored for Latinx studentsubgroups.IntroductionThe National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Strategic Plan identifies developing a diverse STEMworkforce as a key objective [5]. Despite this, slow

We want to provide students with choice over which prototyping method might best applygiven their selected design, but still require that some part of the toy be 3D printed.Phase V: Working on Communicative DeliverablesThe UD project represented 20% of students’ final grades in the course. There are three majordeliverables associated with this project. First, students submit a 3-page memo halfway throughthe project detailing the progress they have made and their plans for completing their design.This memo allows the instructor to provide timely feedback on each group's direction and allowsstudents to learn through failure that will help improve the overall final design. Students willsubmit a final report and make a final
throughout the 14-week semester, with a projectproposal due three weeks into the semester, a project update due eight weeks into the semester,and the final project due twelve weeks into the semester. The intermediate deadlines wereestablished to help ensure that students would develop a schedule plan to guide their progressthroughout the semester, and to allow for the instructor to provide constructive feedback as needed. Grading expectations were defined at the beginning of the semester when the project wasassigned. Students were reassured that artistic quality was not a priority for any of the visually-inclined projects, as long as sufficient effort was put in. Examples of insufficient effort wouldinclude developing stick figure comics, or
efforts of the curriculum. Annual assessment doesn’t need to be a burden if it’s organically rooted in a course. • EAMU provides a more robust system that is more than just a pass/fail criteria, leading to better assessment. • Currently, the Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering Program is relying largely on analytic, in-class data for assessment. An additional layer that will be conducted through a capstone audience survey is planned to be implemented this year as a more holistic, qualitative approach, but the survey will be in the form of a rubric to overlay on the EAMU vector.ConclusionWhen programs adopt the new ABET Criterion 3 Student Outcomes, it is important to recognize that a robustassessment

But the transfer of materialswas not seamless because Tania decided to take a different approach than Elizabeth with respectto the kinds of schools, they visited during the outreach efforts. In trying to adapt Elizabeth’smaterials, Tania realized that she did not need slides for every week, given her approach toleading the seminar in a more activity-based setting. Tania reflected that although valuable as astarting point, the materials were not as easy to adapt to the specific school context and differenttimeline. For the first couple of weeks, Tania did use the lecture slides to start off, but as

Table 3 shows abouthalf of the students listened to episodes on being an early career engineer (Episode 1), civilengineering (Episode 2), and mechanical engineering (Episode 4). One-third of the studentslistened to the episode on being a senior-level engineering student (Episode 5), while less than10% listened to the episode on being an engineering instructor (Episode 3). The students seemedto select topics that are most relevant to their current situation and future plans since the twomost common majors in the study were civil engineering and mechanical engineering, moststudents would become seniors in a few
earlyCS exposure also positively impacted math majors: many minored in CS or took more CScourses than required; many opted for a BS in Applied Math or chose upper-division electiveswith a computational or applied focus. Our hypothesis is that early CS exposure improves theexperience of math majors by expanding their awareness of career options and by developingskills that enhance their conceptual understanding and problem-solving capabilities.RecruitmentOur recruitment plan has three stages.First, we invite students to apply to the CS/M Scholars Program. The invitees have alreadyapplied to our university, have demonstrated an interest in majoring in computer science ormathematics and have shown academic potential. We determine a student’s

The following parent quote shows the value of this approach: “I’m so glad [he] was engaged throughout the week. I so appreciate the opportunity given to him and the other students. Having an ADHD diagnosis made him feel different (in a negative way) from his peers and I believe affects his confidence at times. The experience at the camp the other week somehow “normalized” the diagnosis allowing him to embrace it rather than hide it.”• Participant-centered planning- Observations from the high school program showed that in order to

Education innovation is as much about the solution as it is about managing change.

environmental issues in particular. This method therefore avoids bias in the studentresponses, since leading questions were not posed. The interview questions asked students whatthey had been doing the previous year in courses, outside of classes, and summer internships.The interviews also asked questions about students’ views of social responsibility and futurecareer plans. The interviews were transcribed. Emergent themes related to the research questionsaround environmental issues were identified in the interview transcripts. The themes werediscussed by the two authors to establish convergent opinions.The relevant context of environmental opportunities at each of the three institutions initiallyattended by the environmentally-motivated students in

The paper begins with a discussion of course structure and content, including adescription of course projects from the first two offerings. An analysis of results from pre- andpost-surveys is then presented, and the article concludes with a summary of lessons learned and adescription of planned course improvements. Course structure and content The overriding goals were to inform students about energy production and consumptionpatterns, various technologies and their environmental consequences, and the pros and cons ofrenewable and nonrenewable energy systems. Other objectives were to provide astraightforward yet sophisticated appreciation of the negative effects
being introduced in pre-college settings. These pre-collegelearning experiences are opportunities to develop students’ interests further and continuallytransform their identities [19], [20]. This period of development increases the importance ofintroductory pre-college engineering activities that are “inviting and engaging for all students,particularly those who are underserved, underperforming, or underrepresented in STEM fields,including girls, minorities, students from low socio-economic backgrounds, students withindividualized education plans, and English-language learners” [21, p. 117].

Thecomponents of the design sessions conducted in BME are highlighted within the red box.Diversity and Inclusion in EngineeringIntegrating diversity and inclusion into an engineering program is a complex challenge. One ofthe reasons behind the persistent lack of diversity could be the presence of systemic exclusionarymindsets and behaviors that permeate various cultures of engineering and requires institutional-level reforms [5] and shifts in culture [6]. One model of such institutional reform has beendescribed by Winters [7]. Winters defines inclusion as follows: “Inclusion is a value, and as suchmust be inherent in and integrated

If a similarfield application was going to be attempted for a utility scale solar farm, some type of moreelegant sprayer would be necessary to prevent clogging (such as one with an ultrasonic vibratinghead).Weather was also a major variable for field applications of the coating. On two sequential dayswe had to cancel plans to coat the panels due to rain. On the day that we were finally able toproceed, we began the day with a nice calm sunny morning. However, after applying the firstcoat and beginning the second, a pressure front began to move into the area and winds picked up.We eventually had to cease application

We wanted the students to develop problem solvingand self-directed learning abilities while they also remain motivated to learn increasinglychallenging topics. To incorporate experiential learning in our curriculum, each module beginsfrom concrete experience to reflective observation, then to abstract conceptualization to activeexperimentation. In other words, the first stage is where the learner actively experiences anactivity. The second stage is when the learner consciously reflects back on that experience. Thethird stage is where the learner attempts to conceptualize a theory or a model of what is observed.The fourth stage is where the learner is trying to plan how to test a model or

A successful project was not one thatdelivered outcomes but one that delivered engagement.

In that same year, ASCE discontinued TCFPD and established a new committee, theTask Committee on the Academic Prerequisites for Professional Practice (TCAP^3) to developdetailed plans to attain the full realization of PS 465. In late 2002 TCAP^3 created the Body ofKnowledge Task Committee (BOKTC) to define the academic requirements for the practice ofcivil engineering at the professional level.

ethical analysis The third workshop led to a number of agreements: 1. A small number of BEfaculty members would form a curriculum development team. Beginning in the summerof 2017, this team would identify existing course components or create new materials forteaching ethics across the BE curriculum. 2. Instructors of BE courses would work withthe curriculum team to implement newly developed materials and pedagogical models. 3.The BE program decided to submit a second grant proposal to the Engineering EducationCenter for supporting the implementation and assessment of the new curriculum.
