way to facilitate student veterans’ socialintegration and academic success is offering them a chance to link their prior military experienceand experiential knowledge to what they learn in academic courses. However, despite thesignificant number of student veterans on college campuses, very little effort has been made todevelop a specific curriculum or academic course that integrates military veterans’ priorexperiences and knowledge in higher education.The University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC) is a large urban public research institutionwith over 29,500 students [1], 7,400 of which are considered non-traditional or adult students.The university has shown a 21.5% growth in military (veteran, active, reserve and familymember

This report provides a step-by-step guide onintegrating an Industry 4.0 curriculum into two and four-year institutions alongside outlining theexact content that could be taught in mechanical and manufacturing engineering programs. TheAmerican Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and Autodesk suggest a modular approachinvolving core themes and concepts, case studies, real-world examples, self-assessments, videos,and hands-on exercises for the six modules covering design for sustainability to advanced AI/MLand automation. By providing projects based in the real world and up-to-date content, professorshave an easier time integrating this curriculum into their classrooms while inspiring the nextgeneration of

curricular content makes a difference in shaping the beliefs and expectationsstudents hold as they transition into their professional careers. Such an assumption is warrantedgiven the way other topics appear in the curriculum. For example, if an emphasis on teamworkand problem-solving were not perceived as relevant to professional practice, then one would notexpect them to receive as much attention as they do4,5. Similarly, engineering ethics is anothersuch pivotal topic, and therefore one would expect it to appear in undergraduate courses. Yet,this is not uniformly the case. To understand the discrepancy in engineering ethics coverage, thiswork focuses on some of the central actors in course content decisions – engineering departmentfaculty members

In this year-long experience,students build upon their prior curriculum and engage in real-world open-ended projects todevelop important engineering skills. This experience culminates with an annual in-person eventcalled Bioengineering Day (BE-Day), in which senior students present posters on their designwork. Students have the unique opportunity to interact one-on-one with multiple industrialprofessionals, discussing their senior design at BE-Day. Industrial representatives also providefeedback on students’ professional and design skills for formative assessment of the degree towhich the students developed these competencies. In this work, we

IntroductionTechnical theory can be extremely abstract at the educational level. This leads to extensivereliance on students’ engagement with the material outside of the classroom through researchand internships to provide real-life context. The use of technology in the classroom is a way tobridge these experience gaps [1-3]. However, there is a question of how to integrate thistechnology effectively [4-5]. Considering this, a current project at San Francisco State University(SFSU) is exploring the use of a structural engineering project to explore and reinforce human

Broad-scaleresearch on faculty incorporation of diversity-oriented activities into the curriculum has foundthat even when faculty believe that diversity in a classroom leads to better learning outcomes,belief doesn’t necessarily translate into teaching practices that include diversity-orientedmaterials [4]. However, departmental support is important in integrating diversity into thecurriculum, as faculty who believed their departments emphasized the importance of diversity intheir field and supported the integration of diversity-related content into their courses were morelikely to do so [4], and were more likely to be

Both women and men had a near equaltendency to request a more integrated curriculum that includes utilizing the makerspace intoassignments, as a direct function of these students valuing making as an integral part ofengineering. For example, Waldo, a white man, discussed his idea to better integrate making intothe curriculum. We do have students coming in from a handful of classes that want to use the printers for their projects, but it's not as integrated into the curriculum as I think it should be.
