The course is to meet thefollowing GE outcomes: Acquire foundational skills and capacities- Write effectively for variousaudiences; Develop capacities for continued development and lifelong learning- demonstrateactivities, techniques, or behaviors that promote intellectual or cultural growth [1]. Moreimportantly, the unit serves to grow consistency across the course and still maintain academicfreedom for faculty and academic choice for students.Motivation- OtherThere were also other intangible factors that contributed to the development of the unit of study.Previous research

For over 25 years, anhonors first-year engineering program has offered a cornerstone robotics design project as theculmination of a two-course sequence on engineering fundamentals [3]. To provide students withthe new technical knowledge needed for the robotics project while allowing teams to progress intheir own designs, a JIT learning instructional strategy is used for three technical explorationactivities. The motivation for this paper is to share a strategy for how JIT learning can be used in adesign-build course to motivate student learning and consistently teach important skills while stillproviding students

same network [1]. Computer networks are designed to accommodate various sizes,depending on the use case. Local-area networks (LANs) connect devices in a limited physicallocation, such as a home or office network. On the other hand, wide-area networks (WANs)connect multiple LANs and can span over a large geographic area. [1]. The importance ofcomputer networking as a research topic continues to grow as more and more devicescommunicate with each other. From 1981 to 2008, over 500 million computers were connectedto the internet, even reaching the rate of two new computers connecting every second [2]. Withthe widespread availability of internet access across the globe, the reliance on computernetworks for communication has grown significantly [3

First-Year StudentsIntroductionDiscussion of engineering curriculum development often focuses on technical knowledge andskills needed to prepare students to design engineering solutions. However, the context in whichthese solutions are applied is important as indicated in the first cannon in the National Society ofProfessional Engineers (NSPE) Code of Ethics which states that "engineers shall hold paramountthe safety, health, and welfare of the public" [1]. The focus on preparing students for thetechnical demands of engineering design may lead to them not fully appreciating the societalimpact of engineering solutions. Cech [2] studied the evolution of the interest of students inpublic welfare issues, such as ethical responsibilities

These mental healthbenefits include self-esteem, cognitive functioning and a positive mood. One study alsosuggested that there is growing evidence that physical activities such as walking can help preventor treat depression and anxiety, although more research in these areas is still necessary. Thatbeing said, additional research is starting to illustrate being in nature and green-spaces canincrease your well-being. Thus walks on campus in and around nature could have additionalpositive effects for the students [2, 3, 4, 5]. In addition to the mental health benefits, walking hasbeen shown to improve physical health metrics

In addition, students areintroduced to humanitarian causes that encourage them to consider how their major cancontribute to social good.Lesson 1: Agile Process ActivityTraditional design processes in engineering and computing follow a sequence of steps. The endgoal of a design process could be a product or it could be a process. The steps to develop theproduct or process using a traditional approach usually start with comprehensive planning to becompleted before proceeding to creation. In contrast, agile design and development utilizesrepeated iterations of a shorter plan-create-test-revise process

knowledge.American Society of Civil Engineers’ [1] Vision for Civil Engineers in 2025 establishes the needfor civil engineers to serve as “master builders, stewards of the environment, innovators,managers of risk, and leaders of public policy”. Therefore, the emphasis on cultivating andeducating the “next generation” of civil engineers to take on these roles is important. This emphasis has been evident in a number of engineering education guidance programssuch as ABET [2], National Academy of Engineers [3] and ASCE’s [4] Civil Engineering Bodyof Knowledge (CEBOK). Although civil engineering and public policy curricula are moreprevalent at the upper level graduate programs, effort to integrate public policy at theundergraduate level provides value in

During the laboratory sessions,students learn how to use programmable logic devices (i.e. FPGA) and write HardwareDescription Language code to model the circuits that they learn about in the lecture.Figure 1 shows an example assessment from the class. In this problem, the students were given acircuit with several flip-flop circuits, an example input waveform and were asked to predict whatthe output waveform would be. This sample problem, and student response, shows whysequential logic circuit are so difficult for students to analyze. Not only do they have to recallhow each device operates

In fact, atASEE last year, there were two sessions in the Educational and Research Methods divisionfocused explicitly on engineering identity. Much of the recent work on this topic has beenspurred on by Godwin’s instrument [1] to measure engineering identity.

AbstractAs engineering faculty, one of our core responsibilities is research. To be successful, you willneed to work with and mentor students, especially Ph.D. students. How should you find thesestudents, and once connected with them, how should you direct them? Unlike teaching, wheremyriad books and conferences can help you become a better teacher, there are few sources thatwill show you how to become a successful research mentor in any academic field, and fewer stillin the field of engineering. In this paper, three engineering professors with collectively morethan 100 years of experience on university faculties share their techniques, together with theadvice provided by more than a dozen highly successful faculty members and faculty developers.1
