the habitat. Finally, the smaller groups integrated theircomponents and collaborated to maximize the energy efficiency and performance of the Solar-powered Habitat.The assessments of this project were designed for each level of teamwork: 1) Studentshighlighted their contributions through an Engineering Portfolio. 2) Smaller groups reflected ontheir design and building process by submitting weekly engineering logs and a semester-endposter. Finally, 3) Each group habitat (comprising 5~6 groups) presented its energy-efficienthabitat design in the first-year design expo at the end of the semester. The ongoing datacollection of this effort on project-based, multidisciplinary, multilevel teamwork proved how thisproject design effectively cultivated
country.MethodsTo develop team-based learning curriculum and its evaluation in Japanese engineering education,we first replicated Ohashi’s survey [2], “What is an Engineer?.” The answers to the questionnairereflect the sociocultural value of engineering in Japan from the perspective of future engineers. Morespecifically, we asked a hundred freshmen in the Department of Mechanical and SystemsEngineering at Kogakuin University, the following question, “Who do you associate with the word‘Engineer’? Please write down the names of three people. If the person is not popular, please add abrief explanation.”In response to the lack of interdisciplinarity in the pipelines of our default educational system, wedeveloped a high-quality interdisciplinary curriculum for

the drone body and aprocedure for embedding the electric wiring was developed. This integration required severaldesign modifications, which were implemented and prototyped. We believe that this modulardrone development project design and mentorship guided by the principles of experientiallearning and empowered by AM has increased the efficacy of students and helped them developseveral skills that are valuable to the future engineering work force including team skills,leadership, time-management, life-long and interdisciplinary learning, and entrepreneurshipmindset. Through a survey and focus group approach, the findings of an independent evaluatorconfirm those benefits to the students participating in the project.1. IntroductionAdditive
lack of a consistent and coherent ethical reasoning approach that is suitablefor responding to ethical issues that pervade engineering practice. We argue that reflexiveprinciplism (RP) as an applicable ethical reasoning approach, a view we have elucidated inearlier work8. Furthermore, we posit that in order for this principlist approach to becomereflexive for engineers, engineering educators need an integrated and facile pedagogicalframework that can be engaged repeatedly at various locations in an engineering curriculum. Inthis paper, we describe the characteristics and the efficacy of such an integrated model forenhancing the ethical reasoning of engineers: the SIRA framework. The core elements of thisinnovative approach are discussed

They are, 1) removinginstructional bias towards women, 2) using student-centered pedagogical methods that involvemore interactions with faculty and peers, 3) having curriculum that supports diversity, and 4)developing identity and agency beliefs. For women to be successful in engineering, instructional environments must removebiases towards them. To do so, Felder et al.22 support several measures, such as being careful notto use gender-sensitive

The distinctions between theterms posed in this study are then used to identify which sub-constructs are most pertinent formeasuring self-concept in engineering education.Identifying the variables (sub-constructs) within self-concept has beneficial applications in first-year engineering education due to the noted levels of attrition in the first two years of anengineering curriculum [6]. Building a scale and consequent interventions to influence those sub-constructs will help improve student retention due to the direct relation of self-concept withacademic achievement; less importantly in terms of high grades but more so as an activecontributor to human

Byinterweaving the problem throughout the undergraduate curriculum beginning freshman year, wetreat student engagement and retention as a process instead of an event4. To implement thisconcept, we developed the Cancer Scholars Program (CSP), a challenge-inspired experiencefocused on an overarching societal problem: cancer.

tied back to traditional course content if the use was not correlated by faculty. In thesecases, students desired that the course instructor provide more “real world” application, and thatpractical lab use integrate theory and practice.Use as independent homework, outside structured lab/classroom settings, was designed to supportboth traditional class instruction and lab work. In new-use settings, this homework often was forextra credit or exploratory purposes and was an extension of regularly assigned work. As usebecame more embedded and the instructor(s) more familiar, inclusion in homework reflectedadvanced opportunities to practice/learn material.
