, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to drawconclusions. [8]” Comparison to objective b from the a-k criteria shows that a major componentwas added to this outcome – that students must demonstrate engineering judgement in drawingconclusions for experiments. This is significant due to the strong emphasis placed on engineeringjudgement by working engineers who cite such judgements as the ultimate guide to designdecisions [9]. The inclusion of engineering judgement in this student outcome, and nowhere elseexplicitly in the outcomes (except for possibly a reference to judgement in outcome 4 whichdeals with ethics) gives an indication of ABET’s views about the purpose of laboratories asgoing beyond practical necessities. It seems

Factors indicative of thisprocess, such as self-efficacy, adaptive coping, exploration, and willingness to changelearning approaches when needed, are not measured in the ARS-30 or other currentresilience scales. The proposed Values Resilience Scale (VRI) under study measuresresilience as a process that enables one to overcome academic adversity so as to achieveone’s fullest academic potential. Such a measure would allow educators to identifystudents who may be hindered from reaching their utmost potential through their lack ofacademic resilience, and help

Through the strategicuse of infographics, educators can leverage visual literacy to enhance the educational experienceand promote a deeper understanding of complex concepts in various fields, includingengineering education [37]. In conclusion, educational infographics represent a valuable resourcefor educators seeking to enhance student learning outcomes. By harnessing the power ofinfographics and incorporating them thoughtfully into educational practices, educators can createa more engaging and effective learning environment that resonates with learners across diversesettings and disciplines.References[1] Noori, N., & Anderson, P.

inherently judgmental act.But what exactly are we judging when we speak of quality? The ‘what’ is highly contextual and forengineering often of a tacit “I know it when I see it nature”. Perhaps one of the best modern attempt todefine quality was made by Pirsig in the popular 1974 book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance[17], [18] which preceded the wide adoption of the CQM movement. Through the context of a cross-country motorcycle trip Pirsig contrasts quality and aesthetics and relates the notion of quality to a deepsubjective care for, or engagement with, something that leads on one to see beyond an objects surfacefeatures. Quality as a concept allows us to navigate both the objective and the the uncertain andsubjective spaces created by

Everyaccrediting body and professional society advocates for the development of lifelong learners[26]. As one example, the American Society of Civil Engineers Body of Knowledge argues forlifelong learning skills to develop through “undergraduate education and mentoring experiences”[7]. During college, students should engage in “independent study projects and open-endedproblems” with the goal of pushing beyond the presentations of their instructors [7].

. Within the undergraduate engineering curriculum at the institution, generativeAI-related courses primarily emphasize theories related to natural language processing,machine learning, and language models. However, they often lack actual hands-on experiencein using contemporary tools and application programming interfaces (APIs) to build practicalAI solutions for solving real-life problems. Such solutions often require cross-disciplinarycollaboration with academic partners and industrial collaborators, who may contributedomain expertise and training data in their specific field of generative AI application.To address this gap in the curriculum, we propose a framework to guide students through astructured three-stage progression, emphasizing

Social foundations of education integrated the what (subject matter), the how(pedagogy), and the who (variety and individuality of people involved) of teaching and learningwith the why (goals and motivations). It gained an institutional foothold beyond TeachersCollege and developed an organizational infrastructure that eventually coalesced around theCouncil for Social Foundations of Education (CSFE), a coalition of about 20 organizations thatidentify with the field.

two types of elective courses, a general course may provide students withknowledge that would be of use in many areas and lay the groundwork for future in-depthstudies, but lacks the details that a student would need to be fully prepared to enter into a specificindustry. A specific course may give a student the knowledge and skills to enter a specificindustry at the risk of providing relatively little knowledge useful outside that field.Beyond these two broad categories, there are some courses that may be considered moreexperimental in nature, where an instructor or team of instructors may use the category of atechnical elective to offer a course that is interdisciplinary in nature and moves beyond thetraditional engineering course

In essence they are a reflection on thegoodness of the engineer, yet these are always judged in the context of the state of the art,meaning the goodness of the engineering process applied. But it is in the choices of the engineersthemselves that the connection between the goodness of the engineering and the goodness of

These findings pave the way for a broaderdiscussion on AI literacy, which encompasses a spectrum of concepts beyond ML, presentingeducators and students alike with a daunting yet exciting challenge.To navigate the complexities of AI education, the "5 Big Ideas" framework proposed by AI4K12has

decades or so since the TELPhE division was founded from workshops held by theNational Academy of Engineering it seems, I would not wish to be dogmatic about this, tohave gone through three phases [1]. The first, was in the provision of engineering courses fornon-engineering students, and in particular as ‘minors’ [2]. This lasted, although excellentpapers continue to be submitted in this area of technology, until about 2014 when theDivision published a monograph on “Philosophical Perspectives on Engineering andTechnological Literacy” following the inclusion of ‘philosophy’ into its activities in 2013 [3].There was then a flurry of activity in the philosophy of engineering education, and three morevolumes were produced. Subsequently, while papers

There are various methods of academic cheating, including techniques inside and outside the classroom. The use ofpaper-mill websites (sites in which anonymous authors can be paid to produce academic papers) was found to haveincreased 200% from 1997 to 1998 [10]. Students have also been found using their cellphones to communicate withone another during proctored exams (sometimes by sending images) and to listen to recorded notes in their headphones,in addition to using their calculators to store formulas, among numerous other clever strategies [11].
