Bycombining technical training with critical reflection on systemic inequities, this course equipsstudents with the skills and mindsets necessary for inclusive, impactful engineering practice. Thefindings underscore the potential of integrating AOP into engineering education to cultivatesocially conscious, globally engaged engineers capable of co-creating equitable solutions withdiverse communities.1. IntroductionAs global connectivity and communication networks continue to grow, so too does awareness ofthe disparities in health, resources, and opportunities across different regions of the world. Thisheightened awareness has spurred a shift among engineering students, who are

It was fun and stimulating to interact with researchers with a high level of thinking and reasoning, at the cutting edge of the field. It was also fun and stimulating to be around other community college teachers and educators who were extremely invested in teaching itself.Faculty also described how the experience would have a direct positive impact on their students.

@mtu.eduAbstractThe traditional way engineering and engineering technology courses are taught is based ontraditional lecture and laboratory experiments, which are still the most frequent teaching methodsused nowadays around the world. On the other hand, active learning methodologies grounded inscientific research in education have been attracting considerable attention over the past yearswith numerous research studies indicating the efficacy of such learning styles.In this article, the author addresses the main challenges and shares active learning strategies usedto encourage active learning and engagement among students in face-to-face ElectricalEngineering Technology (EET) courses.

They learned how to carry out their independent responsibilities throughinterdependent interactions, sharing their insights and talents freely with each other to helpeveryone to be better at their job. They learned effective communication skills.

controlled studies on the effect of co-op experiences on academicperformance, this study seeks to add to the research by examining whether co-op experience hasany impact on grades in core engineering courses across a variety of engineering disciplines.The overall hypothesis guiding this analysis is that students who engage in co-op programs willbenefit from active, contextual learning experiences obtained on the job and when compared totheir non-co-op counterparts, this learning will be reflected in higher grades in requiredengineering courses. Additionally, it is hypothesized that these gains will be cumulative—thatis, students with multiple co-op experiences will perform better in coursework than those withsingle experiences or no experiences at

For example, a student’s lack of research experience can lead tounderestimating the time required for a project, resulting in missed deadlines and at times,creating real conflicts with students’ classes, family commitments, and outside employment.Research projects and the extracurricular activities can have a negative impact on a student’sGPA if they are not properly advised and projects are not effectively managed.

The aimis to develop students who are better at adapting to new trends, embracing creativity and leadership,understanding engineering impacts on society and business, as well as providing more opportunities toexperience engineering design (Fairweather, 2008).

Welch and Estes12 describe the experience of studentsat the US Military Academy who are given the option to choose community service projects fortheir senior design experience. The students’ interface with community stakeholders was foundto engender the client-consultant relationship. A similar service-learning approach is describedby Bielefeldt13 for on-campus clients used in senior design. These works in general describe theexperience of students acting as the design consultant to a third party client.The model of client-consultant interaction solely amongst student peers is relatively new.

As a result the students will re-‐examine and re-‐express the concepts in terms of their personal perspectives and experiences. This is what concept maps, memory maps, and similar tools do in most cases. Students should also work on verbal, written, drawing, and other communications venues to express their thoughts.
