The performance and practice of engineering is an act of service. Understanding of Engineering Ethics: Engineers are expected to exhibit the highest standards of honesty and integrity. Engineers are to hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public. Those whom engineers serve deserve nothing less. As one example, the competencies are also used in the required first-year seminar course, wherestudents create action plans and write goals to

]. LATE TWENTIETH CENTURY NEEDSPost-Sputnik (1957) there was surge in attention paid to science education in the US. During the late twentiethcentury there was an awakening emphasis on the skills needed by individuals seeking careers in the industrialworkplace – business-awareness, communication, project management/planning, presenting and reporting,teamwork plus integration were being reported as areas of weakness in engineering education by learnedprofessional society groups [6]. Concurrently, in the early eighties, this triggered the establishment of aManufacturing Technology Institute (MTI) under the aegis of the Corporate Technical Institutes at IBM [7]. MTIwas created as an IBM ‘university’ to revitalize and broaden the skill-levels of the
product or project. This course is an excellent capstone experience, which requires bothteamwork and individual skills in solving a modern industrial problem. Senior design projectsseminars in fall and spring quarters bring the students, faculty, and industrial partners together tosee the student’s results and to give them the additional experience of public presentation of theirwork.The importance of project work in the curriculum of our undergraduate engineering programs iswell understood. Students want and need to know the best industrial practices also. An engineershould be a designer, thinker, innovator and systems integrator. Hence, the educational systemshould inculcate into its students various aspects such as engineering principles

Introduction Engineers, and engineering educators, must continue to innovate in an increasingly globalenvironment. As a result of the pandemic, engineering curriculum has grown to include effectiveworking methods across global communities rather than only including the fundamentaltechnical skills. The pandemic nurtured online methods for collaboration on global learning,which is “a process that prepares students for active global citizenship by involving them incollaborative global problem-solving as a

BackgroundCoursesThe two courses focused on in this study have been in the aerospace engineering curriculum atPenn State University (PSU) for a number of years and offer fundamental content. One is arequired junior-level course, Introduction to Aeronautics, with a required prerequisite of the firstaerodynamics class and an aerospace analysis class. The other is a senior-level technicalelective, Theoretical Aerodynamics, and its prerequisite is the Introduction to Aeronauticscourse. The junior-level course introduces students to the basic concepts of aeronautics bycovering the estimation of the forces of flight and

While these “real-world”experiences are highly valuable to students, they are still separate from the engineeringcurriculum and academic experience. It would be desirable to integrate more “real-world”experiences into the undergraduate curriculum at universities; however, industry-academicrelations have not, in general, been developed to their full potential.

Thus, it was important to find a venue where the implementation ofentrepreneurial content would not be too abrupt for the students and to implement the content insmall quantities that would be palatable to instructors and students. In other words, we felt itimportant to tread lightly and conduct a minimally-invasive study, which, of course, does preventany attempt at extensive

We provide an analysis of the origins of students’images of engineering and what causes them to change and suggest some ways in which thisimagery affects the engineering education experience. We also discuss dominant images acrossthe four schools, showing how some images of engineering are so dominant that students who donot fit within those images must perform what we refer to as reconciling work in order to repairthreats to their engineering identity.An important part of our study has been how do students develop an identity as engineers.

ResourcesIn fall 2014, the authors launched a project to develop a website as a center to access web-basedteaching and learning resources in nuclear engineering and health physics. The main motivationwas to provide students with an easy access to learning resources that are high quality and relatedto the curriculum of our minor program in nuclear science and engineering. These resourceswould be organized topically in a fashion similar to the topics organized in the textbooks usedfor the minor program courses. The resources considered for each topic could include tutorials,PowerPoint presentations, video clips, images, demos, and/or simulations. A maximum limit offive resources per category (e.g.; images) for each topic was considered as a reasonable

Messiah College is committed to Christianunderstandings and expressions of what is right.8 Consequently a third educational objective ofMessiah College is to graduate students whose character and conduct are consistent with theirChristian faith commitments. Messiah College engineering faculty and staff aim to accomplishtheir mission “through engineering instruction and experiences, an education in the liberal artstradition and mentoring relationships with students.” These methods must ultimately beexpressed in specific initiatives and a particular curriculum. “Appropriate Engineering” and“Service-Learning” are two ideas that have informed Messiah’s program.III.

This may involve predicting, experimenting, critiquing, or making an argument from evidence. • Analyze: Students begin to develop higher order thinking. They may be asked to compare and contrast or take a concept and break it into parts to explore the relationships present. • Apply: At this level, students begin to put the information they are learning into context. Here they are able to integrate ideas across multiple situations, or utilize the content in a new way. • Understand: At this level, students demonstrate that

Thus, the project is a part of the curriculum in that students aregiven project options and must use software, design techniques, and presentation skills tosuccessfully complete the project following the steps of the engineering design process. Studentteams were able to self-select between three different semester long project options.Since two evaluations were done, the main purpose was to assess how engineering students’feelings of self-efficacy changes before a semester-long project versus after the fact regardingthe engineering design process and determine whether documenting this process made an impacton feelings of confidence, success, motivation, and anxiety

[2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9] Developmental advisinghas been shown to increase student sa?sfac?on and reten?on, partly because of the personalconnec?on with a mentor. [2, 9] In 2008, Janine M.

Being agood designer is a hallmark trait of an engineer and design curriculum is an integral componentof engineering education programs. As noted above, success in product design is elusive as 40%or more of products introduced to the marketplace fail to find success1.Concepts from systems engineering have been applied in developing a series of value-connectedviews (tables and diagrams) that have been applied in design courses at all levels22. The viewsare based upon a comprehensive metamodel23 that identifies items of

Theundergraduate students gain practical research experience and demonstrate theiraccomplishments in an end-of-semester poster presentation. Both the undergraduates andgraduate mentors complete weekly qualitative reflective questions through an online process.Through both the pre- and post- surveys, as well as reflective questions posed during thesemester, the research team gathered information on maintaining and creating trust in thesementoring relationships. We compared and contrasted our mentor-mentee relationship to theperceived trust model created by Mayer, Davis, and Schoorman1. Our initial findings show thatability, benevolence, and integrity are

These findings are augmented through national survey ofengineering faculty. The survey investigated faculty perceptions on the importance ofengineering leadership development and the manner faculty think these materials should beincorporated in engineering curricula. These perceptions are investigated with respect toparticipant’s backgrounds and experiences outside the academy.
