could continue to build upon these tools through our electronics careers. The challenges for me were interpreting the labs especially when a couple of them had unclear objectives of what we were meant to accomplish. There were also errors in the labs which suggest that they had not been tested. In our first lab the wires in the photos were in the incorrect positions of the board, yet if this lab had been constructed and tested… shouldn’t it have easily been identified that the wires were wrong before the photos were taken because the LEDs would have failed to light.”Table 6.

As with most of the segregation schemes of the era, Princess Annewas poorly funded, never fully staffed with qualified personnel, and never had proper investmentin infrastructure. Parallel to the public education enterprise, the inequality of the system waspropagated by racist and intransigent stakeholders and justified through various legal loopholesand racist cultural assumptions.One particular aspect of inequality between the two systems was access to professional trainingin specific career paths. In the 1930s, this was brought to the fore by a legal challenge to theUMD law school in Baltimore. The result of this legal challenge was a new separate-but-(more)-equal law school at

The authors conductedlongitudinal semi-structured interviews of 11 participants (5 men and 6 women) during their fouryears of undergraduate engineering education. They found that all four Eccles’ value categoriesare present; that attainment value plays a prominent role, but not an exclusive role, inparticipant’s choice to earn an engineering degree; and that the four categories are not mutuallyexclusive. In summary, the researchers found that participants can be categorized with high orlow engineering-related

The target is for students to present their decision making strategies, and howthose decisions impacted overall performance. The presentation is a great opportunity to discussfuture improvements or changes the team wishes they could have made, all the while presentingtheir successes for the semester.From an educational standpoint, the technical presentation simulates a task that is common toreal world engineering careers. Finding success in a technical field is dependent on the engineerclearly presenting his/her work to others. The technical presentation

In many cases, thepredominant concern will be to develop an item that has a functional purpose: someone uses itfor a specific reason.But they may not understand that the design process also involves ethics, that technology notonly enhances our lives but directs our behavior, that technology reflects not only function butvalues as well. Quantification is just one part of the design process; ethics completes it.Recognizing the ethics inherent in technology helps that “tiny group of engineers” design for thegood of human experience, creating objects that reflect positive values

This correlation may suggestthat there could be a smooth transfer of interest and a higher likelihood for students involved inmaking to self-identify as engineers, thereby building their tenacity in continuing to study theSTEM fields in their future educational and career endeavors.3.

Some of these efforts are described in the next section. In fact, someauthors suggest that ethics should be made a cornerstone element in engineering education(Moore, 2011). However, this has not been achieved yet and students lack the necessaryexposure during their education to navigate through the ethical conflicts they will face duringtheir careers (Herkert, 2002).This paper contributes to this body of work by blending ethics with traditional optimizationproblems in industrial engineering.

For the employers of our graduates, we believed that withengineering programs we would be able to provide them with better prepared graduates than wecould with the engineering technology programs. Part of this was due to aforementioned increasein foundational math and science courses, and the ability to achieve more depth in upper-divisioncourses as a result. In addition, we knew that we would be able to increase the number of creditsin the programs as we transitioned from engineering technology to engineering, so we felt that wecould add content without having to give up any content that

exclusively in those states that have adopted the Next Generation ScienceStandards, which include engineering performance expectations at all grades [1]. Aside from itsinclusion in the NGSS, there are many reasons for even the youngest K-12 students to learn toengineer. Engineering is motivating for students, engages their creativity, introduces them toengineering careers and helps to reinforce and apply scientific and mathematical knowledge [2-5]. Engineers and K-12 students alike use iterative engineering design processes to solveproblems [3, 6-8]. The designed solution to a problem is often an object (e.g., a bridge), but canalso be a system or process. In the early part of design processes, students: define the problem;consider relevant knowledge
