teaching more applications in the mathematicscurriculum or moving more math topics into the technical course sequence, we can make themath more interesting and show the students how to use math to solve problems.Also pointed out by this study is the need to strengthen certain technical areas that aretraditionally given only passing mention. These include ethics and safety. These are two topicsthat are generally acknowledged as being important. However, they are frequently only taught asauxiliary material within other courses. For example, the study of employers of Stevens Instituteof Technology engineering undergraduates found deficiencies in the ethical training of thegraduates6. We need to consider dedicated courses in these topical areas

Finding ways toteach students the key research skills they need to locate and evaluate information, however, canbe difficult. Although most schools offer courses in library research and writing, they may notbe required. If those skills are not taught within the context of their engineering classes, thestudents may never be exposed to them. Engineering faculty are already dealing with a fullcurriculum and may not have time to include information literacy instruction in their syllabus. Inother cases, faculty may not possess the requisite skills to teach information literacy

She is especially interested in how power relationships and rhetorical strate- gies affect group judgment in engineering design; one goal of this work is to to understand factors that inhibit full participation of students who identify with historically marginalized groups and investigate evidence-based strategies for mitigating these inequities. In addition, she is interested in technology and how specific affordances can change the ways we collaborate, learn, read, and write. Teaching engineer- ing communication

traditional lecture-basedteaching, which mainly focuses on theoretical aspects of the technology and lacks hands-onexperiences, would not keep students motivated, meet their needs, or lead to enhanced learning.Pedagogical research in engineering education supports this project-based, student-centeredapproach to teaching [12]. Student-centered approaches have consistently been found to be equallyor more effective than traditional approaches, improving learning outcomes and key competencieslike teamwork, critical thinking, and problem solving [12,13]. More specifically, project-basedlearning has been shown to lead to higher student motivation and better understanding of how toapply learning to realistic problems [14].

growing aspect of technical education, research,and economic development in the United States. Concerns about U.S. competitiveness inmanufacturing continue to grow and the global economy continues to emphasize thecontributions of value-added manufacturing operations. Some of the important elements intoday’s changing economic environment are: demand for higher product quality; reduced timefrom concept to availability for sale; increased product output; and short product life cycles.The half-life of products has decreased to the point that 50% of product sales occur within threeyears of initial design. These factors have resulted in the absolute need for engineers who areprepared to initiate, design, plan for production, and control the manufacture

Collaborative Projects and Group Work: We designed projects that required students to work together in diverse teams, ensuring that each member's voice and perspective were valued. For example, during a group research project on different cultural viewpoints in engineering, students shared their own cultural backgrounds and discussed how these perspectives could influence problem-solving and innovation in the field. 3.

Course rosters were monitored to ensure that international anddomestic students enrolled in each course. We recruited professors with minimal internationalexperience who each taught two first-year seminar courses, one control course and one treatmentcourse; our aim was to reduce individual differences in teaching style and permit directcomparison between control and treatment course pairs.
