Dominion University the senior project is a twosemester course, which is the case in most of the undergraduate programs. The Introduction toSenior Project is a first semester 1 credit course, which covers a series of career related topicsrelated to engineering technology such as engineering codes and standards, engineering ethics,technical report writing, job search and resume writing techniques, patents and property rights,and professional engineering licensure. By the end of this course the students are expected todecide on a project topic, establish partnership with a faculty advisor for the project and submita project proposal. In the second semester, the actual Senior Project is a 3 credits course inwhich students work under advisor

cultures of college and universitycampuses across the U.S., international students still face difficulty as they enter the U.S. andbegin their education. Difficulty with the English language, culture shock, and differencesbetween the education systems in their home country and those of the U.S. are compounded bydiscriminatory behaviors and biases that many international students face in their everyday livesand classroom experiences [5]. Gaining a greater understanding of these experiences, how theydiffer from those of U.S. students, and how faculty and TAs can better support internationalstudents not only benefits the U.S. in many ways but is also an ethical responsibility for faculty,staff, and others involved in the lives of these

who spend more time on screen activities are more likely to be unhappy. 4) Mental Health/Insecurity - iGens are less happy. They feel more anxiety and depression which can lead to suicide. 5) Being Irreligious – Less students identify with a religious group. Only 28% of high school seniors attend church. If religion conflicts with science, iGens must choose sides, with science usually being the default. 6) Isolation/Safety and Community – There is a strong desire for safety in all areas of life. They smoke less, drink less, and drive less. iGens want emotional safety, especially on campus. They think it is a good idea to help others but are less likely to do so. 7) Income Insecurity/Work and Work Ethic

In the third and final pass, we focused on reading for details related to themes identified inthe initial analysis, including discussion of the conceptual framework and patterns in types of out-of-class involvement.Findings and DiscussionProfessional Development Outcomes Associated with Student Organization Involvement.Researchers have defined and examined student outcomes impacted by out-of-class experiencesin a variety of ways. In the realm of professional development, these outcomes range fromintellectual and competency development to value constructs (e.g., ethics, professionalresponsibility, sustainability affect) and constructs of self-efficacy and professional identity(including sense of belonging, work self-efficacy, and

perception is prevalent among engineering professionals(Faulkner, 2007). When mapped onto a space such as a classroom or professor’s office hours orstudent group project meeting, the techno-social dualism may cause conversations and discourseto center around technical issues instead of social issues such as ethics, diversity/inclusion, andmental health as an engineering student. These forms of discourse lead to what Cech (2014) callsthe culture of disengagement, where she finds that engineering students are less concerned withpublic welfare issues as they get socialized to the profession. This is not to say that the culturalscript of primarily centering discourse around technical issues in engineering spaces dictates thekinds of conversations that

The researcher conducted verbal member checks with the studentsin the late afternoon on the last day of the pilot and written member checks with the Femineer®teachers and instructor two weeks after the pilot. Member checks enable feedback from theparticipants in the study to gain their insight to see if the researcher captured all of the dataaccurately [40].Ethics The IRB (IRB-18-139) approved this study as full board review. All participants in thestudy were given an informed consent form that addressed the details of the study. The consentforms were

In school, that was math and science, so I wanted something where I could use my strengths in my career.Kelsea was also motivated by the possibility that she would be able to make a difference bymajoring in engineering: “Related to helping others, I wanted to see what personal impact Icould have on society…like through invention in engineering.” She said that her “stronger-than-normal work ethic” and “diligence” helped her succeed in her

There is a big difference between you could use this unit operation or that unit being an advocate for something, and being a operation. And I said, well how about the policies policy wonk. A policy wonk has to sometimes that create cheap corn? When we have cheap corn, swallow their personal preference because they are then we have cheap beef, and therefore we have addressing something a bureaucrat or a politician more CAFOs. So, actually the tax on corn is just wants them to accomplish. Now you don’t set as important as the unit operation to get rid of aside your ethics and values, but you do have to methane. And

Finally, students’ time was a major factor in their engineering experiences related toaccommodations, processing speed, and work ethic.

On the other hand,intentional competition is something which can be undertaken whether or not a structuralcompetition has been enacted (e.g. when a person wants to make even the simplest activity into arace). Kohn sparked a conversation on these forms of competition as mutually interlinked andfar from being inevitable, they are in fact undesirable forms of structure and interaction for manyaspects of productivity, learning, affect, interpersonal community, and even ethical behavior.Kohn (and McDermott, e.g. “kill thy neighbor” game (Varenne & McDermott, 1999) ) sparked aconversation in 1990s K-12 education where many considered whether other non-competitivestructures and interactions were possible and desirable.

-specified student outcomes, namely the ability to:apply STEM principles, analyze and interpret data, assess feasibility of a design, function onmultidisciplinary teams, understand professional and ethical responsibility, communicateeffectively, use tools necessary for engineering practice, comprehend contemporary issues,identify value and participate in life-long learning, and understand the impact of solutions in aglobal context.28 Moreover, the US-Denmark Summer School’s defined learning outcomes alignwith desired traits of the successful future engineer. The National Academy of Engineeringacknowledges and even emphasizes the role of globalization on shaping these necessary traits,among which are: the ability to work within the framework of
problems in multiple contexts and through multiple lenses. Such a person haslearned how to negotiate engineering complexity as well as cultural complexity, and cantherefore arrive at solutions that are physically robust, economically feasible, aestheticallypleasing, ethically sound, and culturally sensitive.But can this nexus of characteristics be taught? And if so, how?At CU Boulder, faculty and staff have decided that the answer lies not in a single course orsemester, but over several semesters, in a new Global Engineering Minor (GEM). They believethat this new minor can prepare students for the extreme versatility and universal effectivenessthat global engineering requires. The present paper describes this new minor: its origins andevolution
