an opportunity to create computer based art. Assessment of learning was through pre- and post-testquestions . A total of eight students were involved in this study; four from middle school (grades 6, 7 and 8)and four from high school (grades 9 to 12).Assembly VLEsTen students interacted with the Assembly VLEs (5 middle school s, 5 high school). Among the middle schoolparticipants, 3 students were able to understand the target assembly concepts in the first round of learninginteractions; two of the students needed an additional round of learning interactions for learning the sameconcepts. Among the high school students, four students were able to demonstrate an understanding of allconcepts after one round of interactive sessions with the VLEs
EthicsEducation (Seniuk Cicek et al., 2025) and from my thesis (Paul, 2024).Ethics is typically seen as a less important or ‘complementary’ topic relative to ‘core’ technicalcontent (Monteiro et al., 2017). To make ethics seem more relevant, it is often taught through‘objective’ technical framings, emphasizing quantitative approaches such as decision trees andrisk factors (Harris et al., 1997). Engineering is generally approached through an objective andpositivistic lens; however, this belief in the applicability of rational problem-solving to ethicalproblems gives engineers a false sense of power and authority. ‘Normative holism’ (Downey,2012) has been applied to conceptualize how the dominant engineering narrative of believingthat all technological
, i.e. the Clausiusinequality for a finite control volume.The two key points of this derivation are a) The rearrangement of terms at each point based on thedenominator and b) Extending equation (1) from an infinitesimal point to a finite control volume,by imagining the summation of an infinite number of interface equations in a similar manner. Notethat all terms of interface equations for internal points will contribute to ΔS. Only interfaceequations written at the boundary of the control volume will contribute to the right-hand-side ofthe Clausius inequality. Also note that the derivation is unchanged for the three dimensional case;only the number of interface equations to be imaginarily added increases.All mathematical results of the second

researchprocess. The term research mindset is used in the extant literature, but no theoretical base for theusage of this term has been established. The following work-in-progress study is a first attemptto understand the attributes of the research mindset among engineering doctoral researchers.Interviews were conducted with seven early career engineering researchers. Initial findingssuggest that research mindset is comprised of six attributes: (1) open-mindedness, (2) believingin oneself and the research, (3) persistence, (4) honesty, (5) being critical, and (6) a writingmindset. The findings from this study provide a foundation for further explorations of researchmindset.IntroductionA mindset is a psychological framework that shapes an individual's
kickoff meeting. Before each kickoff meeting, teams prepare a projectcharter and schedule. A template of the project charter can be found in the appendix. The teamsalso provide weekly written and oral project updates to the program director and the clients. At theend of the project, the interns typically submit written reports, final presentations, prototypes (ifapplicable), and any other technical or administrative deliverables to the client and the director.They complete two peer reviews (in the appendix) to assess their peers' performance. The nextsection presents the feedback received from the various stakeholders after the initialimplementation of the SSP.3.3.

the earlier portion of the course. Theauthors (instructors of the course) provide (1) ideas for experimental topics of interest which areapplicable to chemical engineering students, 2) focused research opportunities with facultymembers or local entrepreneurs and businesses, and 3) community-based learning experienceswith the ETHOS center at the University of Dayton. Once the instructor approves astudent-centered experiential learning project, the students define the specific objectives, performexperiments or simulations, and summarize the analysis and findings in a final technical report ormemorandum. After submitting the final report, students also provide a written reflection of theirwork and learning experience.In the most recent academic

positively correlated with academic success [1-3]. A previousstudy by Mamaril (2016) found significant positive correlations between general engineeringself-efficacy and academic success [4]. With an often-cited need for biomedical engineers toengage more closely with the medical field, this study seeks to create an instrument to determinehow self-efficacy in biomedical engineering is related to a subject’s abilities to identify and solveprovocative questions relevant in a clinical environment and ability to write grant proposalsrelated to those questions.To create the instrument, 35 broad survey questions related to self-efficacy were generated,separated into 4 broad categories: General Self-Efficacy (GEN) a unidimensional scale takenfrom Mamaril’s
(BVI). Most media available for instruction are visual, and manyconcepts are taught visually, making them inaccessible to students with BVI. In addition to thewider use of alternative text (alt text) [1], swell paper printing, braille touch pads, sonification,and other technologies, individual instructors have made strides in using 3D printing to makegraphical engineering content more accessible [2]. Other studies have been done to show theeffectiveness of 3D printing in delivering instruction to students with visual impairments [3]-[4].Ready access to 3D printable media for engineering education remains elusive despite 3Dprinting technology becoming widespread, partially due to cost and partially due tocomplications in transforming flat
engineering frequently suffer from a crippling form of technical-social dualism,separating the technical knowledge that engineers possess from the social implications that theirknowledge engages [3]. This dualism is readily apparent in the traditional engineering curriculumwith its heavy emphasis on math, science, and the engineering sciences, portraying engineering asa series of solely technical problems that need to be solved [4]. As engineers enter the workforce,this false technical-social dualism creates inner conflicts for practicing engineers as they end upspending most of their jobs solving problems in isolation from the context [5]. Meaning-rich,context-driven curriculum supports deeper forms of learning and the subsequent ability to

and equipment troubleshooting. Studentscommonly attributed problems to faulty equipment when their misunderstanding of how theequipment worked was the true cause. Further, the authors found an inverse relationship betweenstudent frustrations with equipment and their confidence in technical aspects of the course.MethodsThis study used an exploratory and primarily qualitative analysis. To measure ESE, students(n=26) in a chemical engineering laboratory course at the University of Virginia took an adaptedversion of the ESE survey from Kolil et al. [3]. To measure troubleshooting ability, we usedqualitative observations (n=12) of students troubleshooting a laboratory experiment set-up of thewater gas shift reaction. The sections below describe
a mass online education specificallyfor students and faculty from Tier 2 and Tier 3 colleges. MOOCs (Massive Open Online Course )are online courses which enable large numbers to participate via the web or other technologies.MOOCs have a long history and have primarily been asynchronous so that international studentscan also avail of this. In this article, we delineate how we modified that approach by piloting thissynchronously. The Covid19 situation was an added incentive to offer this course to students whocould not meet in person due to restrictions for in-person classes. Over 350 students from 20different engineering colleges from India were recruited for a pilot program along with the facultyfrom their schools. Each college recruited

The goal was toreinforce the real-world aspects of design, non-technical characteristics that could have outsizeimpacts on a final product. These reflections also helped students reinforce some of the non-technical skills required to create a successful design. They were encouraged to consider thefollowing questions, among others.1. Who was the intended target market for your product?2 How did your product offer additional value for this market?3. What type of marketing and product placement would most benefit your proposed product?4. What effect does your target market, and proposed timeframe for prototype delivery have onyour design decisions, from an engineering
