Observation of responses showed an overarching trend that studentsrelated to material as it fit into the aspects of their daily lives whether the students came from anagriculture or engineering background. This in turn allowed students to connect the two fieldsand grasp complex theories or tasks given. Keeping this in mind, faculty considered developmentof future courses and the structure of the ET-AG curriculum in a way that straddles bothagriculture and engineering realms in a relatable

Libraries Dean’s Innovation Grant, enabled the research team todetermine how the STEM library and engineering liaison can better serve CENGR faculty andstudents.The guiding research questions for this project are:1) What liaison services and resources are needed to best meet the needs of Engineering studentsand faculty?2) How can we better support PBL within engineering degree programs?3) How can the UNT Libraries’ engagement with CENGR students and faculty be improved?With these questions in mind, the research team developed surveys and conducted interviews withthe goal of answering these questions and informing future directions for the engineering liaison.Each survey was designed to gather insights specific to its audience, and rigorous data

, American Society for Engineering Education 2 IntroductionAs scientific and technological exploration and advancements continue to become increasinglycomplex and interdisciplinary, there is a growing need for a workforce that is multidisciplinaryand broadly knowledgeable of relevant important topics such as climate change, which iscontemporary for our time. With this in mind, it is essential for the growing workforce in science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields to include a diverse range of individualsto expand the workforce of STEM fields. For this to happen, there must be more efforts made inhigher education to cultivate the

engineers taught me that engineering is much deeper than piecing somethingtogether, but rather, it is applying math, science, and design to solve a problem. Originally, I wouldlook at the world with health science tunnel vision, only focusing on the physical wellness ofindividuals. However, the more I worked with my psychology and engineering peers, the more Irealized these other disciplines should, in fact, be recognized.As I come closer to entering the work force, I can say that through this interdisciplinary education, Iwill step into the world with an inclusive perspective. Thanks to this course, I now have a uniqueexperience under my belt, and an open mind to the disciplines around me.VJV Reflections (Psychology, Texas A&M University

, ratherthe student attitudes and engagement levels were significantly impacted by assessment method.Stowell and Bennett [11] conducted a study that did indicate that online testing does increase testanxiety and thus induces a situation in which misconduct is deemed appropriate in the minds ofstudents enduring through this anxiety. We do see a gap in direct comparisons in a post-GenAIworld, especially in the context of first-year engineering courses where stakes are somewhathirer for students in comparison to some other higher-education programs.This body of literature provides a comprehensive foundation for examining the transition fromdigital to paper-based exams, particularly in the context of addressing academic dishonesty inhigher education.
