The three Cs, curiosity,connections, and creating value, used in the KEEN EM framework, are useful for facultydevelopment. Engineering faculty instill curiosity in their students every day and are curiousabout solving research problems, they make connections when they teach in class and performresearch, and create value when they teach courses students want to take and solve researchproblems organizations wish to fund. This paper prepares the foundation for a robust, holisticapproach to faculty development using the three Cs.

: Implementing Sophomore Cornerstone Courses in Electrical and Computer EngineeringMany engineering programs have significant project- and design-based courses in the freshmanand senior years. Freshman courses usually serve a dual purpose: a) making engineering a moreattractive study option for undecided students, and b) introducing the basics of technical andnon-technical skills, such as teamwork and project planning. On the other hand, seniors doingtheir capstone projects are expected to perform at a more proficient level, one that woulddemonstrate their readiness for entering the workforce as engineers.As will be discussed below, the project component in our freshman year-long sequence evolvesfrom minimally structured projects

The studyexamined how K-12 engineering teachers planned to support student learning using scaffolding,how they implemented scaffolds during PBL engineering activities, and how they reflected upontheir PBL engineering lesson implementation.PBL in engineering educationEngineering practice and other design-focused fields involve solving complex problems, often incollaborative teams. Generally, these engineering problems do not have a single solution andrequire multifaceted skillsets from many domains. However, engineering students often findthemselves unprepared to manage messy

Our results indicate that participants’ mentalhealth goals centered around eight areas and focused on aspects of physical health such as sleepand exercise. While we did not observe a statistically significant increase in self-efficacy withthe mental health action plan assignment, students with lower initial self-efficacy scores showedbigger increases compared to students with higher initial self-efficacy scores. This resultsuggests that these types of assignments may preferentially benefit students with low self-efficacy.BackgroundThere is a growing concern about the mental wellness of undergraduate engineering students.

However, other priorities, a reduction in total courses from 38 to 36, and a generallack of support from engineering faculty for new programs led to inaction on major curricularchange until the past three years. A new administration and strategic growth plan adopted by thecollege in 2016 provided a renewed opportunity to consider how the engineering division mightrespond to some of the recommendations of the earlier reviews.
