Our relationships with the local faculty need to be ongoing as well, with someformal, structured venues for communication when we are not on campus, and ways for them tocommunicate to us and their own faculty development staff what they are wondering about andmoving towards.Additional links between faculty development professionals might take place in professionalorganizations such as the Professional and Organizational Developers Network (POD), theAmerican Association of Higher Education (AAHE), or the American Society of EngineeringEducation (ASEE). If strong networks of consultation and mutual education were in place inthese professional societies, links between institutions could be deeper and more long lasting.And
particular presentations but also understand how to do similar research. • Ideas for startups: Many students in the program have ideas for how a particular new/re- cent technology can be used as the basis of a new startup. Indeed, many students are first attracted to NEWPATH because they have such ideas, do not know what to do with them, and want to be able to discuss the ideas with others who might have more experience with startups than they themselves have. The sessions at which these presentations are made tend to be the ones that draw the most active participation from all students. The degree of ca- maraderie and cooperation that students display in such meetings in helping each other hone their understanding and

Session 3220 Teaching “Computer Tools” in a Workshop Format Surendra K. Gupta Rochester Institute of Technology AbstractMechanical engineering freshmen at RIT take 342-Problem Solving with Computers as theintroductory computer course. 342 replaces the traditional course in Fortran Programming.Students now develop function subprograms in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) within theMicrosoft Excel environment. 342 emphasizes software tools such as a spreadsheet, wordprocessor and symbolic computational system. Skilled in such
problems. We believe one way to do this is through thedevelopment of an EM that fosters an appreciation for curiosity, making connections, and creating value.Instilling a mindset in students to think entrepreneurially has been gaining popularity, especially in engineering [3].Faculty and administrators have been supportive of increasing entrepreneurship education in engineering classes [4].It has been commonly thought that entrepreneurial spirit is something that people are born with [5]. However,research has shown that these skills can be developed through education [6]. An EM encourages students to seek newinformation, make connections between topics, and constantly think about how the product or service they arecreating as an engineer is useful

One such technique introduces team-based labs into a differentialequations course in which students are exposed to extensive numerical experimentation4.Another approach is to provide the students with easy-to-use technological tools such as Excelworksheets, MATLAB programs and/or interactive web sites and enforce the use of these toolsthrough homework assignments.In this paper, a methodology adopted for teaching ordinary differential equations at a small four-year institution is discussed. Each semester only one section of the course is offered. As a result,the class roster is composed of students from various science and engineering majors. In thesequel, a brief analysis of the
Engineering Education, 2020 Student Success Impacts in Communication and Professional Networking ContextsStudent-driven success in professional networking contexts is qualitatively surveyed andassessed in an engineering-specific technical writing and communications (TWC) course at TheCitadel – The Military College of South Carolina. This TWC course was designed in part toprovide pre-internship preparation for engineering students. Data captured from severalsemesters indicates a positive trend of industry partners’ selection of TWC students forinternships and employment. This data is corroborated by student- led surveying of peers whoidentify important connections between TWC course content and professional

environmental concerns and government regulationspromoting zero-emission vehicles [4]. The modern rebirth of EVs began in the 2000s withadvancements in lithium-ion battery technology, spearheaded by companies like Tesla [5].Research indicates that while electric vehicles produce no emissions during operation, theirmanufacturing process generates more carbon emissions compared to internal combustion enginevehicles (ICEVs). This is primarily due to the production of lithium-ion batteries, which requirethe extraction and refinement of raw metals, processes that emit significant amounts of carbon.Additionally, studies suggest that the overall carbon footprint of an EV is influenced by theenergy source used for charging.

INTRODUCTION Frank Huband, Executive Director of the American Society for Engineering Education(ASEE), recently reported that, “Pressures from corporate leaders, legislators, taxpayers, parents,and educators themselves are directing attention to assessment of the quality of educationalprograms in general and to engineering education specifically.”1 He also noted that, “Ifengineering schools do not assemble their own assessment process, someone else will. Anexternally imposed evaluation process will not be as effective as one developed and implementedby educators themselves.” John Prados
