Design competitions into the undergraduate experience, studentsare better prepared to enter the field of engineering and make more meaningful contributions totheir firms at an earlier rate.According to a report published for The Royal Academy of Engineering, UK (2006)1, the pace ofchange in industry is expected to intensify in both the technological and non-technologicaldomains. Particular themes that have emerged include: (a) an increased need for firms to focuson solving customer problems; (b) a growing requirement to provide system solutions tothose problems; (c) and the increasing complexity of the management task.

In this system, positive and negativeelectrolytes are stored in external tanks and pumped through a power-converting electrochemicalstack where they are oxidized and reduced to charge and discharge the battery as shown inFigure 1. The energy that an RFB stores is determined by the mass of electrolyte stored, whileits power is determined by the size and number of cells in the stack(s), allowing each to be scaledseparately.Figure 1: A schematic depicting an RFB cell.

, professional and/or academic life?Our purpose in studying these research questions is to inform efforts to improve educationalpractices in engineering, particularly the role of reflection in engineering work. This paperpresents an analysis of participant definitions and uses of reflection within and across groups.The emergent findings provide a better understanding of engineers’ use of reflection both in andoutside of the classroom or workplace. We assert that by examining this rich set of data, wemight ultimately be able to leverage the ways in which practitioners use reflection to help bettereducate engineering students and better prepare them for a profession that is both more effectiveand more ethical.Theoretical Framework & Background

the survey (just weeks after classes turned virtual), we used this opportunity togain an understanding of students’ views of a civil engineer’s role during the COVID-19 pandemic.This exploratory research seeks to understand students’ perspectives. Here, we analyze thestudents’ responses to the question “How can engineers address the COVID-19 pandemic?” Wefirst evaluated whether or not each response could be categorized as macroethics. We usedqualitative analysis, both deductive and inductive coding [16], to find emergent themes within thismacroethics context.

Informed by both internal program evaluations of current and prior programs and externalassessments in the engineering education literature [1, 2], the review revealed that while therehad been significant progress made in diffusing engineering education innovations in first-yearengineering and in capstone design, change had been much slower in the middle years of thecurriculum. In particular, while certain workplace-relevant engineering skills such ascommunication, teamwork, design, ethics, and socio

Infusion of core disciplinary concepts (i.e., grade-related mathematics) into ETE instruction. 2. Use of STEM teacher teams to collaboratively plan, assess, and revise instructional approaches. 3.
