In addition, students areintroduced to humanitarian causes that encourage them to consider how their major cancontribute to social good.Lesson 1: Agile Process ActivityTraditional design processes in engineering and computing follow a sequence of steps. The endgoal of a design process could be a product or it could be a process. The steps to develop theproduct or process using a traditional approach usually start with comprehensive planning to becompleted before proceeding to creation. In contrast, agile design and development utilizesrepeated iterations of a shorter plan-create-test-revise process

During that meeting, another important component of the program is utilized: anAcademic Success Plan, a contract that helps advisors and advisees determine barriers to andresources for success. In addition to meeting with advisors, advisees are encouraged to seek outresources for their unique needs, such as tutoring, supplemental instruction, mental healthcounseling, and financial aid, in addition to others. Incentives for advisees to meet with theadvisor include placing a hold on the student’s account, and, once they meet with the advisor,lifting the hold. An

The virtual formatwas intended to eliminate the time and cost of travel, thus enabling the participation ofpopulations that might otherwise be limited in attendance like professional-track faculty,teaching-focused faculty, community college faculty, and adjunct faculty. The three workshopscovered one stage of backward course design each: identify desired results; determine acceptableevidence; and plan the learning experiences as depicted in Figure 1 [1]. The virtual courseworkshops were similarly designed using backward design methods as the team guidedparticipants in backward design to develop their individual

Society for Engineering Education, 2023GTAs play a vital role in the implementation of active learning, largely because of their key rolesin the targeted large enrollment courses. GTAs lead recitations and labs in which smallerenrollments and the learning goals of the sessions are well aligned with active and hands-onlearning. Initial project plans included regular (weekly or bi-weekly) seminars for GTAs. Aformal seminar has been implemented for physics GTAs and more informal meetings aboutteaching recitations for math GTAs. While these seminars and meetings build community andprovide an opportunity to introduce pedagogical topics, they begin after the semester has startedand do not provide new GTAs with any training before they dive into their

Spring2020 was certainly not the semester we had planned due to disruptions from COVID-19, we areoverall quite pleased with this initial offering of the course.What worked well?First and foremost, we should acknowledge we had a small and highly engaged group of 18students enrolled in this course. During the first weeks of the semester, students were able tobuild a strong bond with each other and the instructor. This served as an excellent foundationwhen we transitioned to emergency remote teaching (ERT) roughly halfway through thesemester. We capitalized on the opportunity to explore students’ response to COVID and ERTas well as their response to the course itself [1].One lesson we took from our research into CSPs was the importance of connecting

Assessment Straightforward: A Case Study on the Successful Implementation of ABET Student Outcomes 1-7AbstractIn recent years, many engineering programs have begun planning for the change from the previousABET Student Outcomes (a)-(k) to the current ABET Student Outcomes 1-7. In addition, due tothe current COVID-19 pandemic, many of these programs will participate in a virtual ABETreview and site visit. Depending on the success of these virtual visits, the author theorizes thatfuture ABET accreditation reviews may continue to be remote, given the accessibility of videoconferencing tools and the various savings manifested in costs, time, and environmental impactsfrom reviewers not needing to travel to the institutions.Despite

And yet, the professionalformation of engineers is largely reliant on faculty to enhance course-specific and broaderdevelopmental outcomes. We know that “high-quality teaching is essential to retain qualifiedengineering students” [3] and decades of effort have resulted in many evidence-based approachesfor achieving these technical and broader developmental outcomes; still, these approaches oftenremain unused. Recently, research has been conducted to try to understand characteristics ofpedagogical innovations and dissemination plans that lead to adoption of new practices amongfaculty (Table 1

. Next, we plan to distribute surveys to engineering faculty and students tosee how their perspective differs from employers.Dissecting the Meaning of Hands-On AbilityGiven that most engineers spend little time actually doing hands-on work, we wished todetermine why that ability is so important. With input from members of a mechanicalengineering department external advisory board, we identified a list of reasons that “hands-onability” is important. A survey was then developed for the purpose of rating each of the reasons.Respondents are asked to rate the various aspects of hands-on ability in importance using a 1-5scale, 5 being very important and 1 being not important. Thus far, the survey has beendistributed to employers at an on-campus career

In VISION 95, the participants had at least an hour each day to discuss the activity with theother teachers. If needed, industry hosts were available during that time for consultation.
