Reflection on Faculty DevelopmentAbstractMany engineering faculty have been involved in some form of engineering education research(EER) during their professional career. This may range from a relatively superficial participationas a collaborator on a small departmental education initiative to a larger role in a leadershipposition as a principal investigator on a multi-institutional research grant. Regardless of the levelof involvement, each engineering educator must evolve and invest substantial time to acquire alevel of EER knowledge that is commensurate with their desired degree of participation. Forthose educators who are motivated to fully immerse themselves into a potentially rewarding EERprogram with the expectation of perpetuity, their

theirknowledge and interest in the field. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of this course overthree years in two areas: (1) fostering interest in civil engineering among high school students,motivating more students to pursue this path in college, and (2) training graduate students (futureengineering educators) on best practices for student engagement, knowledge transfer, and coursedesign. Many data sources are reviewed for this study, including student artifacts, instructorlessons, and pre-and post- course reflections. These longitudinal data include the period impactedby COVID-19. As such, this evaluation also considers the effects of transitioning to online-onlydelivery, in-person teaching with COVID-related restrictions, and traditional on

In this adopted reflectiveframework, the instructor “focuses on themselves, their beliefs, and personalities, and how theseinform their classroom practices.” [1, p. 3]. In addition to this, the evocative theoretical approachto autoethnography in which the author carries out a systematic self-introspection and recall oftheir personal story is adopted in this study[2], [3]. Auto-ethnographers recall their livedexperience to understand and relate them [3].When writing this article, the first author reflected on her classroom experiences of whatpedagogical strategies have worked in the classroom. To further explore the first author's livedteaching experience, a team

Engineering Connect,was designed for the first-year students in an engineering department with the idea of increasingstudent success, engagement, and retention. The program was implemented into a CornerstoneEngineering Design course being offered for first-year students in the engineering department.The students were assigned to complete weekly reflections on the course Canvas space onmatters related to their learning and campus experiences as an engineering student. The inputsfrom these weekly reflections were analyzed by faculty each week and an engagement plan wasset in place with the students who were identified as needing help and guidance on courseworkand/or campus related matters. Also, the students having a successful week were

Just as STEM students learn to flex their critical-thinking skills to make reason-basedprofessional judgments, they can apply those same critical

Of theremainder, competence needs (both fulfilled and frustrated) were identified slightly morefrequently than autonomy. When analyzed by gender, even more striking patterns emerged.

Wisdom creation is ahigher order of thinking that adds problem-solving and creativity to the process. Finally,knowledge transfer includes sharing and communicating what was learned in the othercomponents.There are many overlapping concepts between PKM models and how Luhmann implemented hisZettelkasten. Jarche [4] offers the simplest model which is seek, sense, and share. The steps ineach system are key aspects of what faculty are expected to do for

of Computing in EngineeringThe need to learn computer programming is well understood in some engineering disciplines; forothers, the application of programming is less evident (Arjmandi, Woo, Mankelow, Loho,Shahbaz, Auckaili, & Thambyah, 2023). Coding builds independence, computational thinking,and the ability to reflect on and critique one’s efforts (Siu, 2022). For example, when studentslearn to debug code, they are learning the process of finding solutions to their errors and beingable to view things through a critical problem-solving lens (Siu, 2022) … just the things thatengineers need to know how to do. Therefore, this course familiarizes students withmicrocontrollers, an integral part of many modern, technological devices, with a

It takes time to set up such enhancedmulti-part problems on Blackboard or Canvas, but these problem sets are reusable, and thestudent responses are positive. This paper describes how to create such multi-part problems withrandom parameterization on Blackboard and Canvas, and presents the evolvement of studentperceptions from Fall 2019 to Fall 2022, to reflect on the impact of the pandemic.IntroductionActive learning is proven to be an effective pedagogy to improve student performance [1], wherethe students may be engaged in problem-solving, experiential learning, teamwork, a flippedclassroom, or other learning modalities.

reverse engineering and experimental datacollection. It was decided upon that the project would be based around a 5 hp Briggs andStratton engine. In the projects students disassembled a set of engines and had discussions aboutthe material selection and engineering design choices made. Then, using an identical engine,performance measures were collected using a small engine dyno. In this paper, theimplementation of the project along with the learning outcomes from the project are presented.The results and conclusions drawn from a reflective assignment will be provided to express howstudents perceived their knowledge gained from the project specifically in the area ofengineering design and analysis.IntroductionIt is common knowledge that hands-on

that I ran into while conducting thisproject is that the students believed the project was too much work for the amount of time theywere given, which was two weeks. After giving the project and reflecting on the results, I do notthink that the project was too much work, I believe the students were overwhelmed since it wasvastly different then the textbook particle kinematic problems they had been working on.In Mini-Project 2 the students found it interesting how dynamics principles can be used to designparts. In-class they have been learning about how to use kinematics to analyze the motion ofobjects but have not had the opportunity to look at it from the perspective of designing themotion of the object. While conducting this project I told

The standard deviations of $85,994 within CEEcohort and $87,875 in the MAE cohort were large. ECE is close behind with a standard deviationof $65,735. MAE and ECE generated the most federal grant funding and CEE was third duringthe period [20]. The start-up package sizes don’t reflect the federal grant funding acquired
