engineeringstudents regarding their professional choices?Theory of Self-AuthorshipBaxter Magolda’s theory of self-authorship,26 describes the identity development of individualsas being capable of constructing their own perspectives by judging various evidences, bothinternal and external, and within context. Individuals have the ability to create their ownautobiographies. This moves beyond the blind acceptance of truth and knowledge presented bysources and authorities outside of themselves. Self-authorship allows students a personal sense of Page 23.1164.5agency in the process of self-authoring.Baxter Magolda introduces a developmental continuum that is an
control volume steady?” Thisproblem, which we designated as conceptual-definition (3.a.), was explained in detail in thesolutions manual, breaking it up into analysis and discussion pieces. This information andexplanation in the solutions manual would provide considerable information for an instructor tomake a judgment on a student’s understanding and assign a grade. Analysis: Flow through a control volume is steady when it involves no change with time at any specified position. Description: This applies to any variable we might consider – pressure, velocity, density, temperature, etc.However, problems in the “Design and Essay” designation were not explained in the solutionsmanual beyond stating: “Students’ essays and

Figure 5 is a screenshot of M1brainstorming about sequence of assembly and how to assemble the mouse parts. M1 proposedtwo different layouts. The first, shown in Figure 6, is a linear assembly line with six stations andsix operators. The other layout used an indexing table with six robots.In general, M1 seemed comfortable with communicating via the web conferencing environment.However, there were technical difficulties: For example, sometimes when M1 would cycle backand forth through the mouse parts presentation, the screen would freeze. Also sometimes thecustomer was not able to see the cursor when M1 tried to point at an object on the

We have similarchallenges that are detailed in published literature and in Table 2. Some of these can be solved bysetting flexible policy not to penalize students for being absent with legitimate reason, or due totruly malfunction of a clicker. About 10-15% of lowest Clicker scores are not counted whencomputing Clicker grade for both the M181 and M489 courses.There are unfortunately technological issues that went beyond the control of instructors andstudents.

instructional method for computing ethics education. In a longitudinal study offirst-year computer science course which included lectures and case studies on responsiblecomputing and social justice values, students who participated in a think-talk-share peer learningmodel were able to identify intersecting ethical challenges in responsibility, bias, andmechanisms of unfairness, and valued their learning with peers for developing ideas [11].Collaboratively developing a code of ethics among engineering, computing, and non-engineeringdisciplines through group discussions and case studies can engage students in connectingphilosophy with engineering [12]. Beyond instructor-led ethics modules and lectures, there ispotential for students to engage in peer
problems.Increasingly, evidence supports the claim that millennials, in particular, are more likely to beengaged in problem solving if they feel that they can make a difference through the work thatthey are doing. Universities should support students’ aspirations to contribute to society throughcoursework that helps integrate multidisciplinary classrooms and serve the surroundingcommunities. Because of the logistical demands that accompany these types of projects, service-learning courses can be difficult to establish.During the Spring semester of 2017, we created a distance-based service-learning project thatintegrated students enrolled in three different disciplines: industrial distribution (ID), technologymanagement (TCMG), and sociology (SOCI).

several issues with employing the university hiring graph. First, a very smallpercentage of graduates actually get hired by universities and hence this is a small sample of thetotal population. Second, a university professor’s tenure system biases the hiring graph towards a“survival bias”. Given that tenure decision is made within 5-7 years and a typical professor’scareer may span 30 years, most of the information in the hiring graph tends to reflect professorswho get through the tenure process.Third, the longevity of a typical professor’s career makes a hiring decision that reflects on thatprogram for a long period of time. Our analysis reflects this as explained later. Fourth, mostdepartments tend to be small with a faculty size between 20 and
and experiential learning [1,2,3,4]. Faced with more difficult-to-measure learning outcomes, a major challenge for faculty is how to reconcile what stakeholderswant with what faculty can reasonably do. At the same time, faculty are evaluated on therigorousness of their methods and their contributions to theory and practice beyond the localcontext.To solve this problem by measuring every variable using every available technique isn’t practicalor useful. In order to avoid what Gloria Rogers, Associate Executive Director of ProfessionalServices for ABET, Inc.— the nationally-recognized accreditor for college and universityprograms in applied science, computing, engineering, and technology (ABET)— calls “death byassessment,” alternative

the FTX collapse as a case study through which students can deliberate onthese issues.IntroductionWhen I started following the rapid collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange in November2022, I was already considering the possibility of a case study for my engineering students.Students at my institution (and, I suspect, elsewhere) had been enthusiastic about investments incryptocurrency, even forming an official school club. I thought that studying a spectacular failurein crypto might leverage students’ interests in the manner of other case studies in engineeringethics and communication, such as the Challenger and Columbia space shuttle tragedies. I oftendevelop lessons out of such news stories when they lead with an obvious ethical lapse

This process, with the roots on theASCE Body of Knowledge 2, inherently included an emphasis to move beyond “what coursesdoes a civil engineering major take” to “what can a civil engineering student major do” and whatskills are needed to carry out these tasks [2]. This project also aimed to address gaps andredundancies in the curriculum, to ensure consistent student development in learning outcomes,and to engage faculty in holistic thought on the curriculum through tools such as curriculummapping and learning outcome rubrics.The curriculum map (see appendix) identifies the required courses in the program and thecorresponding program learning outcomes as part of the grid [2].

Theserequirements further emphasize the importance of engineering students to receive ethicalguidance while in the university setting, urging university programs to include ethics inengineering education at the undergraduate level.In the classroom, engineering ethical formation may include discussions of engineering codes ofethics and/or case studies. However, ethical formation has the potential to take place beyond theclassroom.

In order to ensure that the selectedIRES students have the technical skills and background knowledge necessary for success in theirprojects, they also participate in an 8-week pre-departure training series designed and led by thePI. This training series leverages existing experience the PI gained through the development ofthe pre-departure materials for a previous IRES site [10], [11], [12]. Specifically, the PI focuseson developing coding skills and knowledge of the biological systems the students will beworking on. Additionally, a portion of these training sessions are dedicated to cultural training,travel logistics and preparing students to live abroad.
