Paper ID #38411Measuring the Impact of an Enrichment Program for First-TermUndergraduate Engineering Students in Mathematics and EngineeringCurriculaMs. Krystal Corbett Cruse, Louisiana Tech UniversityCarl BoyetLevi SavercoolHylie Jane Holloway ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 Measuring the Impact of an Enrichment Program for First-Term Undergraduate Engineering Students in Mathematics and Engineering CurriculaAbstractFirst-year students frequently struggle with the transition from high school to college as theyjuggle academic requirements, new living accommodations, and
education. This paper presents an undergraduate elective course for biomedicalinnovation. In this course, junior or senior Industrial Engineering (IE) students withoutbiomedicine backgrounds will be asked to team with medical students to develop innovativesolutions for clinical problems. Unlike conventional senior design or a capstone project, this courserequires students to identify a problem in an authentic clinical setting and translate the clinicalproblem into an engineering project. Fifty percent of the credit for the final project will be basedon the analysis of the problem and fifty percent of the credit will be based on the proposed solutionin terms of novelty and technical rationale. This elective course is expected to encourage studentsto

ConclusionsThis preliminary study aimed to demonstrate how humanities components could providesubstantial educational benefits to students currently majoring in engineering. Regarding theoverall effect of the course on students’ written assignments, the results of this studysuggested the following conclusions. The findings from this paper indicate that the writtenEnglish vocabulary proficiency of international engineering students improved through theirparticipation in the ‘Science and Religion in Japan’ module in the 2022 fall semester bycompleting their weekly assignments to write a 600-word summary-and-response paper basedon that week’s covered topics

Thecourse objectives are focused on comprehending the multiplicity of factors that lead to anengineering catastrophe, how these decisions/factors are both technical and managerial in nature,and how history tends to repeat itself despite the engineering community’s best efforts. Theseissues are then viewed through the lens of ethical analysis and behavior to highlight for thestudents how ethics is a foundational component of engineering professionalism. The expectedoutcomes center around synthesizing the material presented in the text and during the lectureportion of the class into short in-class writing assignments and a larger paper on risk assessment.These objectives and outcomes were explicitly stated and often repeated to
