there was recognition that professional development should provide thenecessary math skills that match up with the new content and activities.What are design and implementation implications for engineering design professionaldevelopment?The workshop brought up additional issues to consider when organizing a professionaldevelopment program. For instance, a common concern was how to design a program for adiverse teacher population. Teachers and developers acknowledged that different schools anddistricts have different standards and curricula guidelines for teachers to follow, a situationthat could result in limited opportunities for teachers to incorporate new content knowledgeor activities into their classrooms.Although the teachers were excited

on technological topics at a level that is appropriate for non-engineers. However doing so requires appropriate curriculum and course materials. To facilitatethis process, a review was conducted of technological literacy courses already being taught byengineering faculty. It was found that courses can be classified in four categories. These fourgroups are survey courses, focus courses, design courses and connections courses. The surveycourses aim to cover a wide range to technological products, systems, and issues. The focuscourses address a more narrowly defined area such as energy or nanotechnology. The designcourses emphasize developing a familiarity with the engineering design process. Connectionscourses concentrate on the

1graduation rate aligns with the overall national average for veterans of 40-50% identified in theVeteran Economic Opportunity Report (2015). Of concern though is the fact that, of the veteranswho entered as freshmen from 2008 through 2011, only 78% of that cohort were still in school in2011. This rate compares poorly with the retention rate of 90% for the non-veteran students in thatsame cohort. There is significant room to improve the retention and graduation rates of veteranstudents. In an earlier paper, Landry and Jackson (2016), the authors presented educational modelsof student learning in a STEM environment and offered a vehicle for developing a program tomitigate these issues and improve graduation and retention rates by increasing the

trying to implement, it is easy to forget other tools that may have been dismissed in the past but, with the current changes in context, are now feasible alternatives. This is particularly the case with tools that were too complex or expensive when originally considered, but have continued to evolve and/or decrease in price. • Not re-examining the wheel – new technologies mean that new teaching tools may be incorporated into them to increase the potential learning opportunities for students. Many faculty were still using large lecture hall-based delivery mechanisms when the courses shifted to being offered remotely. Rather than re-examining the efficacy of this delivery method and

We believe that ASEE provides a natural base for consideration of these issues. “Those present expressed a concern with the term „nontraditional,‟ on the basis that it is a term stating what the group is not. After discussion, the consensus (was) to use the term “multidisciplinary” engineering programs.Another important topic of that initial meeting was the accreditation of such programs, whichhad no “program-specific” criteria.

Also, through theinteraction with the GSIs, the GSMs are exposed to situations that may not have come up in theirown teaching. These situations compel the GSMs to consider educational methods thatappropriately respond to various situations and that can improve student learning under a varietyof situations. Overall the GSM program is a great opportunity for the graduate students who areselected to participate in it because they are able to provide a valuable service to the college ofengineering while making themselves more attractive as future faculty candidates.5 Examples of GSM/GSI InteractionThroughout the term GSIs present GSMs with any number issues, some very minor, while

Another lingering concern wasthat the Engineering Physics degree, as the only engineering program at Southeast, requiresabout 12 more credit hours than most other programs on campus, which might tend to reduce itscompetitiveness when recruiting majors. In order to address these concerns, we developed asenior capstone course that has been accepted into the University Studies Program, which isSoutheast’s liberal education program. It therefore counts both in the major and for the liberaleducation program, thus reducing the total number of hours required. The course requiresstudents from at least two departments on campus to work on a project requiring expertise fromboth disciplines. In Spring 2004, in collaboration with a faculty

New scenarios may be generated when aninstructor finds a new, compelling engineering topic or sees that existing scenarios are no longersufficiently current. A good practice is for the author of the scenario to review the best existingscenarios. The author then brainstorms possible topics by reviewing current issues receivingmedia coverage.

Further, as most of thestudents in the course will not pursue careers that entail working on an oil rig, we seek to helpstudents make associations between this case and their own experiences or disciplinary issues.These prompts include: 1. How do we weigh the various stakeholder claims in this case? 2. In what ways do some engineers (e.g., those working on a rig in the Gulf of Mexico) have a different scope of ethical concerns than other engineers
