started, I have reworked some of my teaching activities in this and otherclasses. Further, our department is holding one of our CPREE meeting/workshops specifically onissues related to group work in our engineering and pre-engineering classrooms. In our first plenarymeeting, we spent time talking about what our image of successful students is: what changes we wishto affect in them over the term. All of these were set off by the process of reflecting on reflecting. I do think this is actually connected to a fundamental issue in education - that the curriculum wegenerate for students is informed by an image of what sort of people we want to produce at the end ofthe educational or training process and that for instructors to take the time to

Additionally, students can earn an 18-credit hour HumanitarianEngineering Minor, which emphasizes how engineering can contribute to co-creating just andsustainable solutions for communities.SummaryWe believe findings from our longitudinal, mixed-methods study will have considerablepotential to enhance ongoing efforts to cultivate social and ethical responsibility among futureengineers, including by investigating differences in perceptions

In terms of delivery, instructors often blend traditionallectures with practical exercises using tools like ANSYS or MATLAB to ensure that students gainboth theoretical knowledge and practical experience [4]. Many programs also integrate project-based learning to help students better understand how FEM is applied in real-world engineeringscenarios [5]. Lately, full online asynchronous courses on the introduction of FEA have beenemerging in various education platforms such as Coursera, LinkedIn Learning, and EdX.Balancing the range of topics in a finite element analysis course requires thoughtful planning,especially with limited credits in the curriculum.

They beginundergraduate engineering programs learning science and math through formats steepedin a learning culture that is linear and process-oriented to identify the single answers tocarefully constructed problems. Consequently, students demonstrate significantdiscomfort or reticence when thrust into situations in which they are expected to embracea nonlinear, circuitous process to solve an ill-defined problem.
