-specific content, and students greatly anticipate testing of the finalproducts. However, limitations in class size and learning objectives prevent these coursesfrom addressing perceptions of engineering as an inflexible discipline. In contrast, theinterdisciplinary nature, small class size, and guest speakers of the seminar coursedirectly address attrition due to perceptions of engineering as a rigid and uncreative field.Table 1 below illustrates the different focus of the seminar course with respect to ABETCriterion 3 outcomes. It is clear from this chart that existing introduction to engineeringcourses address many of the technical criteria, while the seminar courses provide studentswith context.

Incorporating information literacy skills into a curriculumor specific course, in an organized manner, is difficult. The ABET standards for informationliteracy highlight the importance of including this instruction in the engineering curriculum. Atnumerous institutions, the individual instructor determines how and when this is accomplished.For many instructors, there is not enough time in the academic calendar to do all that is required.Consequently, information literacy skills maybe mentioned in passing or completely eliminatedto make room for other topics in the syllabus.

accreditation process gave little explicitattention to the ethical preparedness of engineering graduates for the work they were about toundertake [3]. Perhaps there was an assumption that the ethical background students brought withthem from elsewhere would suffice, and not require any ethical instructional guidance. However,the number and severity of moral lapses in engineering practice that were brought to publicattention raised serious doubts about the reliability of such assumptions [4, 5]. In response to thispublic outcry, ABET (formerly known as the Accreditation Board for Engineering andTechnology) required engineering programs to incorporate an ethics curriculum. To comply withthis requirement, engineering programs have developed stand-alone

” is Susan Engel’s (5) call to turn collegeclassrooms into transformative experiences. Engel focuses on three elements to encouragestudents to think and participate in transformative class discussions that include the following:1.The chance to think like an expert, 2. The chance to come up with new ideas, and 3. Thechance to be part of an intellectual group. In many ways these goals overlap with other findingsto improve STEM education and student retention.

Decision-making is integral in day-to-day operations in theengineering workforce, whether it be deciding what angle to make an incline or who to talk towhen uncertain of the next steps to take [9], [10]. While there is variation in who makesdecisions at different companies, those with more experience (and subsequently, more expertise)typically make more decisions. Therefore, a lack of experience may impede the development ofexpertise and preclude engineering practitioners from practicing and improving theirdecision-making skills.

Engineering Education, 2006 Learning through Service: Analysis of a First Semester, College-Wide, Service-Learning Course1. AbstractService-learning is a pedagogy which strives to integrate student learning with communityservice. In an engineering context, service-learning provides a project-based experience in whichstudents are confronted with real clients and problems, often of immediate need. In the context ofcourse development, however, many engineering faculty seem to feel that service learning isinfeasible in technical and/or large engineering courses, and that the overhead and opportunitycosts associated with service learning exceed the benefits received by students.This paper contemplates two years of service

As artificialintelligence/machine learning/data science (AI/ML/DS) techniques become a part of everyday life,and as state standards change to encompass CS topics, educators are faced with challenges tointegrate these into the K-12 curriculum.
