A project designed byMohagheghi for an electrical engineering course is an example of this kind of teaching. Studentsare given a scenario related to working for a Colorado power utility that has received funding fora wind farm. While calculating the technical specifications needed to build wind energyinfrastructure, the students must also consider the project’s potential environmental andcommunity impacts [19].Although the medical analog is a loose metaphor, this is in keeping with the basic medical theoryon small doses. “Microdosing,” one of the forms that low dosing can take, is a common practicein pharmaceutical drug development whereby human subjects

In our courses, we use case studies and simulation/game-likeactivities. Prado et al. [15] found that both simulations and case studies as pedagogical toolsworked well to convey the main ideas in a course on sustainable development.In this paper, we describe our approach within a Civil and Environmental Engineeringdepartment, where we have developed two policy-oriented courses for upper-level undergraduateand graduate students.

gender gap can be found within different engineering disciplines. One of themost commonly-cited reasons for why systems and industrial engineering attracts more womenthan other engineering disciplines is that it is perceived as having more feminine qualities.Brawner et. al [3]surveyed 70,000 students and concluded that feelings of “warmth” and the ideathat systems engineering is more generally applicable to a career led women to choose theconcentration. Blosser [4]made a similar conclusion, presenting evidence that systemsengineering is seen as feminine while mechanical and electrical engineering are seen as moremasculine pursuits. Other research suggests that math confidence, a common explanation usedby researchers to explain why women choose

They found that performancecomparison (i.e., a student comparing his/her performance to his/her peers) makes a significantimpact on self-efficacy, and that depending on the student and the situation, self-efficacy couldeither increase or decrease in response to the situation. Team-based project courses can thusmitigate the possibility of decreasing students’ confidence because they do not require studentsto work individually and then compare their performance to that of their peers. Instead, studentswork together toward a common goal. Team-based

Communication experts often oversee these institutional organizations to incorporate writing-intensive curricula within engineering programs. These models are robust approaches tointegrating writing into the curriculum [7] and/or training engineering faculty in writingpedagogies [8,9]. Nevertheless, not all engineering programs possess the financial resources ortime to allocate support for such extensive and customized writing instruction.
