Experiments and demonstrations help to clarify conceptsand they allow students to apply theory to practical examples similar to those they mayencounter in engineering practice.However, some of the topics taught in CIVL 130 do not have an associated experiment ordemonstration. We are always seeking additional instructional setups to enhance learning and toincrease the laboratory capabilities. One component of the lab is an experiment design projectthat allows students to demonstrate and test topics discussed in the class. The Fountain Benchwas developed with this need in mind and as a demonstration of what the students can developfor their project. Examples of fluids-related demonstration units developed by

programming (OOP) is not directly covered in this introductory course, theknowledge gained here serves as a critical stepping stone, motivating the use of OOP in asubsequent course on the computer analysis of power systems. This approach ensures thatstudents are well-prepared to tackle more advanced problems and develop scalable solutions intheir later coursework.Throughout the course, students complete three hands-on coding assignments using Python toanalyze power systems, culminating in a final power flow project that integrates the skills theydevelop. The final project couples Python with the commercial power systems simulator,PowerWorld, providing students with a comprehensive, real-world application of the conceptsthey learn. In addition

CEBOK3 addresses innovation withinthe outcome of Professional Responsibilities and defines it as “a new idea, process, or device thatalters societal ways of doing or being” [3]. The document goes on to emphasize that beyondholding the safety of the public paramount, engineers have a responsibility to be innovators,relying on creativity since every project presents a unique combination of “technical, safety,historical, environmental, political, and cultural issues” [3].The ABET Engineering Accreditation Commission likewise holds civil
collaborativepatterns in pair interactions, especially in language learning contexts [31]. Online teamworkstudies conducted in programming courses show that increased peer communication promotesbetter learning outcomes, hence showcasing the potential of technology for supportingcollaboration [32]. However, traditional discourse patterns often prevail in students'communicative choices even when collaborative activities are clearly introduced [33, 34]. Toolsand methods such as project based learning (PBL) and the use of project charters in PBLenvironments provides a platform for structured coordination and facilitating increasedcollaboration in the educational settings [35]. It is therefore important to note that effectivecollaboration requires a balance between

While large in numbers, given thesize of these companies this is only a small percentage of their overall headcount [2].Despite these reductions, many organizations are refocusing efforts on implementing and scalingartificial intelligence (AI) projects. Even with the adoption of AI and associated workforcechanges, employment opportunities in computer and information technology occupations areprojected to grow faster than the average for all occupations between 2023 and 2033 [3]. Thisgrowth aligns with broader trends in technology and EmTech development. For example, globaljob loss by 2030 is estimated to be 92 million (8% of

Literature Review We conducted a literature review to better understand the role of CSR in the larger context of ethicseducation, what limitations may exist to the effectiveness of CSR in engineering education, and whattechniques are commonly used already in teaching similar forms of ethics education. We also looked forresearch similar to our own to help determine limitations of our project, and possibly compare findings.The importance of teaching engineering ethics, communication, teamwork, and CSR at an undergraduateeducation level has been identified as important for engineer’s success in the workplace after graduation[6], [9]-[11]. ABET has stipulated that students graduating from accredited engineering programs areexpected to have “an
