ethical issues underlying engineering. This contrasts sharply with theimportance that most engineering faculty attach to these issues, and the stress that evenEC 2000 (for example, outcome (3.h)) places on these issues. Possible ways of addressingthis conflict are considered in the paper.Given the importance of assessment in EC 2000, most programs use a range of assessmentinstruments such as alumni surveys and employer surveys in an attempt to measure howwell the objectives and outcomes of the program are being achieved. However, the reliabilityof these surveys is not entirely clear. The paper considers these issues and presents somealternative assessment and feedback mechanisms to address these concerns.Note: It is important to note that the

As a result, new teaching strategies arenecessary so that faculty can have deeper understanding of students and can develop moreconfidence in working with today’s students. Such new strategies will help the transformationand adoption of high impact educational technology, and deepen faculty’s passion for teachingand the process of learning. Collaborations between faculty and industrial partners can be an efficient approach toimprove engineering technology education [16-20]. Such collaborations may includecollaborative lab delivery, student research mentorship, senior design project supervision, etc.Such collaborations can not only get faculty familiar with resources

This has been at the forefront of concerns and focused efforts highlighted over the last decade especially for engineering faculty, university administrators, industry partners, accrediting bodies, among others. One recent ASEE 2022 study[1] purports as many as over 4000 papers related to engineering RPG issues are published annually.

opportunities for students to practice constant curiosity by looking fordesign issues in our everyday things, identifying human factors related to the issues, andproposing a solution to these issues. Curiosity is not only about finding solutions, but moreimportantly, creating opportunities to develop new ideas and innovate further. Moreover,students can actively connect the course concepts about human factors in the design of productsand systems when observing and exploring everyday products and systems, then also by sharingthem with the class to integrate additional insights. By developing a case from an observation orexperience, students must propose a redesign or design modification solution to address users’needs. This way they are able to practice

There were some groups working on international development projects and two groupsworking with the disabled and blind populations that did consider most of these issues.”To improve the performance on this outcome, the following suggestion was made by

The transition to remote learning was particularly difficult for many of the hands-on experiential learning and laboratory courses that are integral parts of an engineeringeducation. Very few engineering programs in the United States offer purely remote learningenvironments for engineering students, and so this kind of teaching and learning was new forboth faculty, rapidly adjusting their curriculum in a short amount of time, and for the studentswho had to quickly adapt their learning styles [1]. In addition, most students across the countryleft their campuses and returned home to complete the spring 2020 semester from afar, leading tofewer interactions with their peers, faculty, and staff for

move away fromdesign-bid-build to design-build. Design-bid-build is a traditional project delivery method wheredesign and construction services are separated from one another. This method of delivery canproduce problems due to a lack of communication between the design and construction components,as well as foster an adversarial relationship. The design-build project delivery method addresses thecommunication issue by placing the designers and constructors on the same team. This allowsdesign and construction to proceed concurrently, thus saving the project time and money. Becauseof the growth in design-build, it is important to expose students to this project delivery method.To introduce students to design-build, a new approach was devised for
