This paper alsodocuments a process where ABET (the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology)outcomes can be implemented to enhance students learning. The influence instructors’ experiencesthrough the combinations of industry and academia play a major and important factor to map theABET student outcomes and how the projects are evaluated. Other underrepresented universitiesmay benefit from the lessons learned of this work. IntroductionIt’s understandable that for any undergraduate engineering student

The team hadone faculty advisor as mentor. The overall project’s goal was to design and program a simple andeasy to use graphical user interface (GUI) that will assist future MET students enrolled in theApplied Thermodynamics course in their learning of several gas power cycles.

We present observations from deploying these surveys in several different courses in-cluding a first-year engineering course, a junior-level project-based computer science andengineering course, and a senior capstone design course. Impact demonstration will be inthe form of specific applications where the authors used survey results to best design teams,build connections within and across the student community, and to determine the level ofscaffolding needed to address survey-identified student knowledge and skill set challenges

other engineering education institutions: at heart, the project aims to helpstudents better understand, and hence be better prepared for, their post-graduation futures. Lackof student preparation in all dimensions needed to succeed in the engineering environment–a“misalignment” between engineering education and practice has long been noted, and manyengineering graduates still endure a challenging transition to the workforce [1], [2]. To addressthis need, engineering educators have incorporated project-based learning in the curriculum [3],[4], [5], including capstones [6] and design projects [7].

the department have adapted the use of formative andsummative assessments in Fall 2020. The courses and the assessments used in these courses areprovided below.The undergraduate course (part of the capstone experience) previously used a midterm exam, acourse quiz, final exam and a student project for assessment. This course was offered in Fall2020 in a combination of synchronous and asynchronous delivery methods. With the redesign toadapt to the online learning environment, weekly Canvas module quizzes were used as formativeassessments. Although, the formative assessments were low-stake quizzes, the formativeassessments enabled the instructor to assess student learning periodically, identify topics thatstudents struggled with, and address

Since the development and implementation of the learning objects was theprimary vehicle to achieve the objectives of this online professional development program,the primary assessment focused on the quality and usefulness of the learning objects. Whilethe teachers found overall that the learning objects were providing the information needed tosuccessfully progress through the online program, they made useful comments that wereincorporated in the revisions of the learning objects.The last section of the program, Capstone Project, is particularly

We applied Zaki’s model of empathy —which triangulates “sharing,” “thinking about” and “caring about,” as the theoretical frameworkguiding the inquiry — and performed a systematic literature review. We sought answers to thefollowing research questions: 1) How have educators integrated empathy development intolearning activities in STEM?; 2) What pedagogical approaches have been shown to promoteempathy of students in STEM?; and 3) How have scholars approached the development ofdifferent kinds of empathy in classrooms? After querying Google Scholar, analyzing more than10,000 publications, and applying the inclusion/exclusion criteria, we identified 63 articles thatcentered

The combined degree program allowsacademically talented (high GPA) undergraduate students replace two of their three requiredundergraduate electives with graduate courses while also replacing their industry sponsoredsenior design project (capstone) with their Master’s thesis/project. With this, they are able toreplace up to 11 undergraduate credits with graduate credits thereby accelerating their graduatedegree while also reducing cost. The compressed timeline allows the scholars enter theworkforce a year earlier thereby maximizing their earning potential. This structure helps addressthe family pressure
