• Is your assignment prompt visually organized and accessible? • How can you scaffold this assignment with smaller “stepping stones” assignments? • Can you analyze examples in class to distinguish between excellent and adequate work? Additional • How will you encourage creativity so that examples are not seen as templates? Considerations • Will students have the opportunity to engage in peer review before final submission? • How will students reflect and comment on their completed, graded work after evaluation to identify what they did well and changes to
societalimpact and to align with ABET standards, the Webb Communication Program at the WoodruffSchool has established a guiding framework that defines our understanding of what effectivecommunication is. Specifically, this framework names appropriateness and responsiveness as thefoundation of effective communication. These are defined in the following ways: 1. Appropriateness: The quality of a prepared message that reflects its suitability in addressing the specific context, audience, and purpose, resulting in a communication that is ideally curated and positioned for maximum effectiveness. 2. Responsiveness: The quality of being adaptable and receptive to the evolving dynamics of a communication context, enabling timely and
frustrated when it happened.Discussion This study investigated how students perceive generative AI (GAI) for designing mood boards ina computer-aided design (CAD) course regarding design creativity. Specifically, we introduced a workshopand a homework assignment that incorporated the GAI tool Midjourney into the students' final CADprojects, aiming to teach 20 students how to use GAI in conceptual design. Through surveys and interviews,we examined students' creativity in the mood board design process and the final products, comparing themto those created without GAI. Our findings revealed that most students (17 out of 20) believed GAI boostedtheir creativity, although expert evaluations of their works did not reflect this. Additionally, we
from theperceived importance of empathy as a professional skill where the lowest selected importancewas ‘moderately important’. However, this difference did not reach statistical significance (p =0.080). This result is again inline with those of faculty and staff (p = 0.976) with sevenrespondents identifying teaching empathy as slight important or not at all important even though‘very important’ was the most frequent response (n = 12) [40].Figure 2. Graduate students’ identified importance of teaching empathy.This wider range of opinions on the importance of teaching empathy was reflected in surveyresponses where some saw empathy as not important to prioritize in engineering education:“This is an important skill, but not something that needs
with this statement.In relation to our delivery of senior design, we identified at least nine companies that arecurrently offering internships to our students. Following each engagement event, we posted thedetails and photos on our department social media accounts. Given that 67.4% of thedepartment’s social media following is from the NYC metropolitan area, we hypothesize that thisactivity increased the department’s reach locally and helped connect with additional industrypartners.The effectiveness of our framework was reflected in the attendance of our annual undergraduatenetworking event. For the inaugural event in 2023, 38 separate companies were invited andrepresentatives from 29 companies attended the event. In 2024, 83 separate companies
indicate their level of satisfaction with their assigned project, where 5 = extremely satisfied and 1 = extremely dissatisfied. Despite not having available comparison data for the instructor-assigned cohort, the authors chose to present the self-assigned student cohort survey responses to this question in this paper.(2) Student Satisfaction with Assigned Teammates: CATME peer evaluation data [5, 9] collected in Weeks 5 and 10 out of 30 were used to assess student level of satisfaction with teammates. We compared the prevalence of underperforming team members and of teams with at least one underperforming member. Because underperformance was identified with CATME survey data, this measure reflects students’ perceptions of their

Our findings suggest that including an individual portion in lab group assignmentspositively impacts students. The average scores for the individual contribution portion of the labreports were 92%. The approach was shown to increase accountability among individual membersof the lab groups, as students who self-identified as “waiting to the last minute” were shown tosubmit individual portions on time (75%). Furthermore, the early submission requirementencouraged effective time management across all students, exemplified by the on-time submissionrate of 94% on individual portions, thereby diminishing the

and insights for the participants to consider whenworking with their students. Each session also included hands-on curriculum design time dedicatedto writing specific components of the curriculum modules. The workshops culminated with asharing session during which teachers could provide one another with feedback and suggestions.At the end of the summer program, the curriculum modules were submitted to the curriculumdevelopment expert assigned to this RET project for review. The expert reviewed the modules toensure that they aligned with program goals and state/national standards, reflected best practices,and utilized active, problem-based learning strategies to foster learner interest, engagement, andachievement.

Of course, many of these differences in attitudescould be due to reasons unrelated to the course structure and delivery, such as the personalities ofthe students.The biomedical engineering students’ attitudes, captured only from iteration 2, were generallyvery positive, with most of the negative opinions isolated to the two groups who were pairedwith the weakest performers from the product design class. The results overall suggested that thecollaboration was a more positive experience for the biomedical engineering students than theproduct design students. This is reflected in the responses to the final question about whetherthey would

empathetic communication. A systematic review found that simulation-basedinterventions that are both immersive and experiential were the most effective method ofempathic education [32]. In a scoping review of empathy in nursing students, simulationincreased empathy levels and confidence, and is deemed beneficial for enhancing empathyawareness, sensitivity, and decreasing negative emotions [31].Empathy is central to the nursing role, fostering and promoting the therapeutic nurse-patientrelationship. Empathetic nursing care requires self-reflection, mindfulness, giving of oneself, andviewing the patient as a whole. Empathy allows patients to feel validated, understood, andrespected. Collaboration and communication between nursing and engineering is
