Much of the extant research and theoryassociated with ethics in engineering education relies on scenario-based and hypotheticalassessments.1,2 Much scholarship and content of trade publications also relies on professionalcodes of ethics that provide broad considerations of behaviors that would be right or wrong andof appropriate uses of disciplinary expertise. Students often find these teaching and learning toolsto be

There are numerous efforts integrated in this plan including aninnovative, educational, web-based scanning electron microscope that has been usedacross the globe.This paper will describe the presentation and the supplies needed for it. The paper willalso detail the extensive outreach program in the department that has grown during thissame period. A scanning electron microscope featuring web access for K-12 partners is aunique feature of this program. K-12 teachers are given training on the use of themicroscope and then create lessons that they use in their classrooms with
tools from Cosmic Software and Ashling. This will givestudents an edge as the tool learning curve is much shorter. These Windows-based toolswill allow for better evaluation of operating robot time constraints and result in a higherperformance software design. Their cost however, is more than an order of magnitudegreater. Regardless of the tools used, the student educational experience can be asuccess. Page 4.227.15References1.

Pre-EntryAttributes on Goals and Commitments (Pre) prior to joining the university. Goals andCommitments lead students to choose AE and subsequently drop it. While Tinto (1993)developed this framework for students dropping out of college, it has been widely used as aframework to understand why students leave STEM (e.g. 16, 17). Due to the similarities withleavers/persisters we used the framework to understand migrators. Understanding this aspectof the framework and how it evolves will lead to a better understanding to why studentsmigrate to other STEM majors.The report by U.S. Department of Education (2014) highlight Pre-Entry attributes such asfamily background (women, minoritized people, first generation individual, low incomebackground

Many research studies have used this framework toanalyze the impacts of online discussions in the educational environments. A recent studyapplied the framework to evaluate a web-based engineering classroom found word count to be anindicator of the relative degree of engagement [16]. Another study assessed

Consider using materials, costs, and social capital to maintain it. 7) How might you adapt these approaches to address user needs and design constraints?8) How seamlessly does this approach integrate into the Beauregard community?9) Is your design a short- or long-term solution for the people of Beauregard?10) Are there any companies your group could contact to initiate collaboration to help implement your design?

instruction is not of the “same quality” as individual-orientedinstruction when it comes to assessment. In this contribution, we will describe someaspects that we believe are helpful to achieve a high level of student involvement in team-oriented environments with a proper assessment of performance. Descriptions related tothese aspects are included below.Why Projects as Final Exams? The use of projects as an enhancement of class instruction,although not widely spread across the curriculum, is known to engineering instructors.These projects, in general, are targeted for the instruction of certain techniques that areeither too involved or too difficult to introduce as a regular topic during the course.However, the assessment of these projects is
