The effectiveness of the Green-BIM teachingmethod was evaluated to see if we can close achievement gaps between the majority group andthe minority groups by means of students’ interview and exit survey. Besides the traditionalassessment tools such as homework, quizzes, tests, exams, lab reports, oral presentations, andprojects, a rubric assessment tool was developed and used

The STSE strategies link topics in the science and technology fields to their human,social and environmental contexts by including a variety of perspectives on scientific disciplines;historical, philosophical, cultural, sociological, political and ethical. The STSE approach cutsacross disciplines as part of a broad effort to understand, analyze, and consider the consequencesof social
, traffic mangement and monitoring, and ethical hacking. Such fundamental modules should be accompanied withreal-world lab experiments and exercises to provide students with a better opportunity for understanding and mastering courseconcepts and material [3]. As there are various types of cyber security laboratories [4], Willems and Meinel [5] introduced software to assesscyber security lab experiments through a virtual machine technology (an online-based laboratory). The solution offers anefficient parameterization of experiment scenarios as well as a dynamic toolkit implementation virtual machine configuration.Meanwhile, Xiong and Pan [6] discussed an approach to integrate ProtoGENI, a GENI testbed resource, into computer scienceand

Professional Development of ParticipantsFor the professional development, several workshops were conducted during the course of thesummer programs that included Ethics in Engineering and Science, Graduate School ApplicationProcess and Financial Support, Resume Building, Improving Oral and Written Presentation Skills,and Industry Careers [1, 2]. Students also participated in outreach activities and field trips toresearch labs or industry. These workshops had direct impact on the success of the participants.Figure 4 shows some of the summer 2019 participants engaged in outreach to local
research from lead governmental agenciessuch as NSF and the Department of Energy. The need for qualified nanotechnology workers forthe next two decades is estimated to be in the millions (Rocco, 2003). Broad impact can beachieved by curricular enhancement and reform at the undergraduate level (Winkelman, 2009).Curricular enhancement, if it aims to be comprehensive, needs to ensure that students areexposed to the technical aspects as well as social, economic and ethical impacts ofnanotechnology that numerous researchers are exploring seriously (Tomasik,2009). This paperreports activities and findings of a team of engineering, science, and education faculty members,who are actively involved in nanomaterials-based research and have been collaborating

and the principles of metrology tools will be discussed. This will be followed by a study of the current application of nanotechnology in a few select areas such as electronics, photonics, sensors and advanced materials.4. Applied Nanotechnology (Course II – University) will focus on four areas where nanotechnology has had a significant impact: Information Technology, Renewable Energy Sources, Nanomaterials and Biomedicine including the effects and ethics of nano-toxicology.The first University course titled “Fundamental Principles of Nanotechnology” was alreadyoffered and the other ones have been developed and will begin starting Fall 2013.Reaching Beyond the Boundaries of Higher EducationThe project has extended well past the
, biologicalsciences, and geosciences.As shown in Table 1, the first class was an introduction to nanotechnology with a focus onpractical applications. This was followed by 3 week blocks on nanoscience and nanotechnologyin chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, biology, and electrical engineering. To meetthe objective of demonstrating the interdisciplinary nature of nanotechnology, a team of facultyfrom the four disciplines taught the course where each instructor taught the section in theirdiscipline. After exploring many possibilities in nanotechnology, the final class focused on thepossible risks of nanotechnology including health risks, ethics and public perception ofnanotechnology

Compared to top enrollment majors, BIOE’sfeel they are struggling more with their courses and have less faculty support. BIOE females feelthey have a greater understanding and ethical responsibility, and confidence in their choice ofmajor compared to top enrollment females. Due to the consistency of these results a predictivemodel of choice of long-term engineering goal was created. Students who score highly onknowing an engineer as a reason for selecting a major, wanting a good potential salary, designingand building things, and their perceptions of the present were likely to be traditional engineers.Students

choices of bridge spans, materials, and/or forms with a given gravity loading condition. Connecting those failures to the real tragedies in the world, such as Minneapolis bridge collapse in 2007 [12] and Tacoma Narrow bridge collapse in 1940 [13], brings professional ethics into the game as well. This game project fits nicely to the core of the “Civil Engineering and Architecture” course in the PLTW curriculum.

By mindsets, the key ingredients identified includecreative inquiry-led approach, design thinking, systems thinking, global citizenship, and ethical decisionmaking.There was unanimous agreement that more engagement can only be achieved by bringing social innovationinto the classroom through projects that ask students to work on real problems. This is consistent withBloom’s Taxonomy [12]. Some of the emerging constructs or prescriptions include what is now termed,“Fruits of Innovation,” i.e., what are the students tasked with creating – knowledge

When implicit, value affirmation occurs through the assertion of desirable or ideal behaviors of an individual or population (e.g., an ideal professional engineer would be ethical in all business dealings). • Behavior Understanding: Behavior understanding is the process by which individuals identify their current actions or decisions with respect to a particular domain. In this research, behavior is always explicit taking the form of a survey instrument, and individuals rate their behaviors (as listed in the survey instrument) on a Likert scale. For example, an individual might rate the behavior, “When making
