to validate the separation mechanism concept, a secondary objective of TSSITwas to capture data on the movement of the end masses during tether deployment. Through acombination of Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) data and video recording, the team was able tocapture and analyze the deployment motion of the end masses under different orientations andspin rates. This information was useful to TUI for development research but also to futureprojects in S3FL that may employ this tether deployment technology.3.2.8 Lockheed MartinThe separation mechanism design was subject to many levels of constructive criticismthroughout the design cycle. Beyond internal reviews, TSSIT and the ME 450 design teams wentthrough many reviews with Lockheed Martin, a

For example, the Defining Issues Test, Version 2 (DIT2, [15]), basedon a Neo-Kohlbergian framework of moral development [16], is one of the most often usedmeasures of moral judgment among researchers [17], in general, and specifically withinengineering [18]-[20].

"ilities." Engineering is not "applied science." To be sure, our understanding of nature is one of the constraints we work under, but it is far from the only one, it is seldom the hardest one, and almost never the limiting one.”□ “Third, the practice of engineering is changing. Indeed, those changes are what underlie the urgency I feel for a new approach to engineering education. Growing global competition and the subsequent restructuring of industry, the shift from defense to civilian work, the use of new materials and biological processes, and the explosion of information technology - both as part of the process of engineering and as part of its product - have dramatically and irreversibly changed how engineers work.

By incorporating modern case studiesand speculative design, this course provides biomedical engineers with the critical thinking andethical reasoning skills necessary to navigate the challenges of emergent technologies inprofessional practice and can be adapted to any engineering discipline.Introduction At the core of the National Society for Professional Engineers Code of Ethics is that“Engineering is an important and learned profession” [1]. Thus, it logically follows that the canons,values, and professional obligations of engineers are formally and informally taught to studentengineers during their education. However, recent meta-analyses by [2] and [3] of current practicesin engineering ethics

Studies and Hands-on Learning to Empower Non-Engineers to Excel in a Tech-Driven WorldAbstractThis paper presents an experience report on a new general education course designed to buildconfidence in students across all academic majors, most of which are non-STEM, in exploring,evaluating, and adopting emerging technologies for their future careers. The modular coursecombines case studies with hands-on learning activities that incorporate generative AI, equippingstudents to thrive in an era of rapid technological change. Results from pre- and post-coursesurveys show a marked increase in student confidence in achieving the course outcomes.Furthermore, module-specific surveys indicate positive student perceptions, highlighting

Constructive learning goes beyond learning byreceiving knowledge, to learning by building systems, with immediate, visual feedback.Collaborative learning encourages students to interact with instructors and librarians via livelinks and remote-controlled “show me” sessions and by reviewing multimedia FAQs of recorded“show me” sessions. Inquiry-based learning guides the student into pursuing exploratoryresearch in a community of students and scholars.

Foundation-funded institutions and national Information Technology professional organizations were the primary targets of this research. The national scans sought information from existing studies about new and emerging occupations and investigated activities occurring at colleges around the nation. Regional monitoring included observing classified employment advertisements for IT positions and analyzing employer requests from job fairs and college career centers. Local surveys included employer surveys, student surveys, and advisory committee meetings. National Research Results: The results showed that the fastest growing IT fields are web development and administration, e-commerce, and computer networking. The National
aspects of the Clinic that facilitate projects such as the EAP development include: formationof multidisciplinary teams, emphasis on project-based learning, and a client and deliverablefocus. The paper describes the project requirements, formation of the clinic team, conduct of theproject, and an evaluation of the results. From a pedagogical viewpoint, this clinic projectprovided an opportunity for students to learn about important emergent technologies, such as theSmart Grid, which was a topic that was included in the EAP. A second clinic team is continuingthe EAP work during the spring 2011 semester, which emphasizes the need for continuity andmethods to exchange information between student teams.BackgroundThe Rowan University engineering
