Writing ProgramIn Fall 2016, the ME department began an embedded technical writing project that would giveME students sustained exposure to writing concepts and practice. From a single class in Fall2016 (Basic CAD, taken in first semester of Freshman year), the project has grown to encompassfour additional classes, which are discussed later and span first- through third-year courses. Inaddition, technical writing instructors have been involved in coaching Capstone students in their 1fourth year. All five embedded classes are co-taught by engineering and technical writinginstructors.In 2021, the second cohort of four-years exposed to the four-year

This isthe most crucial element of the degree program within our discipline, as it gives students anopportunity to work on an extensive piece of work within the areas of Electronic Engineering andComputer Science. The project also allows students to demonstrate their problem-solving abilitiesby being able to apply a range of skills that they have acquired throughout their degree program.Overview of Teaching and Learning Changes Implemented • Preparation (Outside of Class) - Interactive Videos: As the co-ordinator for undergraduate projects

Some of these papers focuson team formation for senior design [2, 3], while others focus on comparing different teamformation strategies, such as comparing self-selected teams versus instructor-selected teams [2-5]. In Ref. [2], the teams were half self-selected and the other half were assigned by theinstructor using the Jung Typology Test, which is based on Carl Jung and Isabel Myers-Briggs’typological approach to personality. Ref. [3] considered different approaches for assigningteams in a capstone design course.

The class is essential to understand performance-based design, which involves various sources of uncertainty. The class should also emphasize the probabilistic aspect of society and environmental impact. When construction material class is taught, material selection should be considered from both structural performance and sustainable built material perspectives. Second, design courses and capstone projects provide an opportunity for students to apply what they learn in classrooms about PBE and sustainability to “real world” examples. Working on

Approach to First-Year Ethics InstructionThrough both success and failure, many engineering projects have a profound impact on individuals and society.Thus, ensuring future engineers consider these impacts and reflect on the ethical implications of their future work isan extremely important topic. There are many pitfalls with the traditional ways in which ethics is taught toengineering students. Often it is taught by a non-engineer as an abstract philosophical topic, rather than an act ofpersonal decision making situated in complex real-world contexts. . It is usually included late in the undergraduatecurriculum, such as during a senior capstone project, and is a relatively short subtopic (module) within a larger
