fromnational surveys. The response rate of the survey was 94% for the entire university in 2014. Theresponse rate in civil engineering was 100%, with 17 women and 39 men completing the survey.The questions were grouped by the following topics and analyzed by gender: • Expectations of college life (Figure 2), which provides insights into students’ preferences and potential concerns; choices were no, very little, some, and very good chance. • Reasons for decision to attend (Figure 3) and importance of facilities (Figure 4), which provide information to use in student recruitment; choices were not at all, somewhat, and very important. • Habits of mind (Figure 5), which provides insights on how to adapt services, academic
computer, and now every entering engineeringstudent at most universities has a laptop computer fully-loaded with the latest technical software.When confronted with a problem before the desktop/laptop computer era, the engineeringstudent would develop the problem solution by hand, with pencil, paper, and much thought, andonly then was the slide rule or calculator taken out of its case, or, if needed, a computer programwritten and cards punched. Today, entering freshmen have the perception that the solutions toengineering problems are somewhere in the computer and just have to be found, when in fact thesolutions are where they have always been – in the minds of the engineers!

senior design having to do interpretive dance. – Fall 2019 Student I am very open minded and receptive to new ideas and methods different from the status quo. I really enjoyed hearing Dr. Akcali speak on divergent thinking and how engineers need to be more creative. The activities definitely foster a more connected type of thinking. What I mean by that is that the activities forced you to make connections in your mind that usually aren't made. I had to grab from different experiences and different ways of thinking in order to come up with a novel idea. – Summer 2019 Student Yes
content.Unlike the majority of the engineering curriculum, professional ethics is neither calculation- nordesign-intensive. Covering this content through traditional lecturing and text-based readingassignments often fails to fully motivate this generation of tech-savvy students to learn to theirfull potential. Improvements to course design and content delivery can improve studentengagement [5-9]. These strategies include developing interactive course activities [6],incorporating multimedia resources [7-9], and integrating practical experiences into the deliveryof the course content [9]. Specifically, recent papers have suggested incorporating a multi-modalapproach to teach ethics using popular media [10].Bearing this in mind, a short ethics module was
isimportant because the participating student engineers connected both their academic learning andreal-world experiences to those of their peers and to the book. Another difficulty was helpingpeople clearly articulate their thoughts. Facilitating these discussions while staying politicallyneutral and also authentic can be challenging. It is important to maintain an open mind andembrace the learning experience with the rest of the participants. Recommendations for how toimplement classroom discussion for long or short works of fiction can be found in [29].ConclusionsThis paper presents a case for using fiction in ethics education, with supporting literature frommultiple fields. The case study examines the use of a particular work of fiction in the

reformation process. In 1997, as a result of this process,ABET adopted Engineering Criteria 2000 (EC2000), which focused on programevaluation based on what is learned rather than what is taught. At the core was acontinuous improvement process driven by the specific and unique missions and goals ofindividual institutions and programs. Questions remain in the minds of most engineeringfaculty and administrators as to whether the requirements of the “new” criteria areaccomplishing their ultimate purpose. Early evidence2 suggests that they are; students arenow better prepared for engineering careers than they were ten years ago.The ABET outcomes-based criteria were also instituted to give engineering programs thefreedom to exercise innovation in

at the end of the test, perhaps your team will be interested in donating itto the Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Department for demonstrations to future classes. Your primary criterion for this design project is SAFETY. Your system mustoperate without any hazards.Keeping SAFETY in mind, the following restrictions are placed on the design: Your team must provide and justify all of the components of your system. The systemwill be tested using a volume of 5 liters of ‘blood’. The maximum amount of ‘blood’ in yourheart-lung system (including any ‘blood’ lost via leaks from the system) is 1.5 liters. The systemshould maximize the oxygenation of the ‘blood’ – the minimum increase of dissolved oxygencontent must be at least 3 mg

In addition, it just mightincrease the interpersonal rapport you have with you students and assist your students with theirlearning process. However, it is important to keep in mind that the teacher must walk a thin linewhen attempting to lose one’s inhibitions in the classroom so as to avoid losing the respect ofhis/her students.References1.

With this example, she provided a series ofquestions that she and her peers ask when receiving feedback from users of the products theydevelop. So, I think every time we’ve received that feedback we have to say, ‘Is there an engineering change that we need to make? Do we have to inherently change the design?’ What is our burden to educate these physicians or provide better education to help them with their implant techniques to be more successful?
