-Inspired Pedagogies: Six Reasons for Bringing Art into EngineeringEducationReflecting on our experiences developing and applying these art-inspired pedagogies, we havedeveloped a list of six reasons (Figure 3 below) for bringing more art into engineering education: 1. Whole Head: To help students develop both the methodical and logical mind, as well as the spontaneous and creative mind. 2. Whole Heart: To invite students to bring their passion and emotions into the world of logic, reason, and equations. 3. Fun and Creativity: To create spaces for students to explore their creativity and have fun with learning. 4. Meaning and Purpose: To offer meaningful opportunities for students to learn and create with prosocial

Reflection in Engineering Design: Student Perceptions on Usefulness Libby (Elizabeth) Osgood, Faculty of Sustainable Design Engineering Christopher Power, School of Mathematical and Computational Sciences University of Prince Edward Island, Charlottetown, PEIAbstractReflection in engineering design promotes the development of personal and professional skills,helping students to document the steps they took, examine the outcomes, and looking ahead tothe following weeks. This reflective practice contributes to adopting a growth mindset andbecoming life-long learners. In a study of 1,278 reflections of 83 second-year engineeringstudents over two years, this paper is an exploratory examination of

Do We Design for People or to Make Things?: Student Motivations, Barriers and Mindsets in an International Humanitarian Engineering Experience Reilly Sullivan, Faculty of Science, Department of Biology Libby (Elizabeth) Osgood, Faculty of Sustainable Design Engineering University of Prince Edward IslandAbstractService-learning has emerged as an effective pedagogy that develops participants’ cognitive andaffective competencies through working with communities and applying their education in real-world settings. In engineering, service-learning projects help participants shift their focus fromthe device or design to the people

thesedecisions easier.” The video, “The ethical dilemma of self-driving cars - Patrick Lin” [15]highlights the concerns about the information that might be used in such decisions in the future.The first task wraps up with another self-reflection specifically answering the prompts: (1) Didyou change your mind about anything? and (2) What is your take-away from the discussions?Following that orienting task, students are asked to complete the main assignment in teams. Theyare provided an outline of the steps needed to complete the assignment. To begin this task teamsselect a case study from the list of ethical cases provided by the Markkula Center for AppliedEthics. [16] They are recommended to choose ethical cases related to the engineering orcomputer

“Leadership as an Alienating Social Myth”: Disciplinary fissures as a catalyst to interdisciplinary understandingAbstractAs an interdisciplinary field, engineering education involves regular interaction between people trained in the socialsciences, humanities, and engineering. What happens when professors, staff, and students socialized in disciplineswith distinct epistemic traditions come together to educate the next generation? In this paper, I reflect on myexperience as a social science researcher working in engineering education, using five moments of disciplinaryconfusion to trace my steep learning curve. These five moments taught me about paradigm shifts, acceptable sourcesof research funding, research

may bewell thought out and revised, coming up with four unique scenarios for each of the 17 goals is notonly time consuming, but also tedious. In addition, preparing and writing each scenario and theircorresponding actions may increase the likelihood for human errors, with a total of 68 scenariosand 408 actions. Keep in mind that, the app is intended to stimulate the user’s judgement,reasoning, and emotions into attempting to resolve the scenario at hand. To avoid such tedioustasks and with rise of Open AI and prompt engineering, we selected Microsoft Copilot in Bing asthe primary chatbot to automate this process, as this would later serve as a cooperative tool thateliminates human error.

Infusing a Series of Motor Lab Exercises and Projects into the FreshmanCircuits CourseAbstractThe "Introduction to Electrical Engineering Technology," commonly referred to as the FreshmanCircuits Course, is a comprehensive program encompassing three modules—Electrical Circuits,Microcontroller Applications, and Digital Circuits. Developed ten years ago, the originalfunction of the 4.5-hour lecture-lab course presented in two sessions per week, each one for2hourse and 15 minutes long, was to introduce freshman students to the subject of EET byfocusing on the early portions of the sophomore year DC circuits course at a relaxed pace.Another purpose was to have freshmen connect with EET faculty before their sophomore year.

Clean Energy Education and the Energy Transition AgendaAbstractAwareness of the effects of global warming has become mainstream and drives the need toreduce dependence on fossil fuels. The urgency to transition to clean energy (CE) sources isapparent. Growth in rapidly developing clean energy technologies and their manufacturingindustries drives increased demand for graduates trained in these areas. CE Education is theevolution of traditional disciplines to educate candidates to meet the demand for technicians tosupport the global energy transition away from fossil fuels. Engineering and technologyeducation must be designed to prepare students with skills for energy sector employment.Students will be involved in designing
