to the Civil &Construction Engineering curriculum at Syracuse University and its first offering in spring 2015semester, the course has been very well received and attended by the entrepreneurial studentswho were/are interested in applying the learnings of this course and starting their ownengineering firms. Below are few excerpts from the students' feedback that is collected at the endof the semester for improvement and planning purposes: • One of the best courses I have taken over my college career. Really helped me develop skills that I can use out in the real world. • This course was very helpful for both junior and seniors who are intern/job hunting. • Really enjoyed the project based learning for this class, the
Session 1526 Clemson University’s EXPerimental Engineering in Real Time (EXPERT) Program: Assessing the benefit of real-time sensors in the curriculum Matthew W. Ohland, Elizabeth A. Stephan, Benjamin L. Sill General Engineering, Clemson University, Clemson, SC 29634AbstractEXPerimental Engineering in Real-Time (EXPERT) is a three-year NSF-sponsored project atClemson University to study the benefit of using experiments with real-time sensors to improvestudent understanding of the graphical representation of various physical concepts and auxiliarybenefit in understanding the concept itself. The project builds on
areas such as anti-racism, inclusion, equity, and diversitywithin engineering fields. The project seeks to develop and implement an anti-racist andinclusive framework tailored to the database curriculum within the Department of InformationSciences and Technology (IST), which can be easily adapted in other courses and STEMdepartments. It is expected that the students who complete dedicated incremental activities in asequence of four targeted courses will go through a series of transformative practices and beprepared to successfully combat systemic discrimination in STEM-related fields.To achieve this goal, the project outlines the following key objectives: • Introduce ARIE concepts through interactive engagement with course-related topics
students will be most successful if topics are integratedthroughout the full undergraduate curriculum. Supported by the ASEE Engineering for OnePlanet (EOP) Mini-Grant Program, we sought the following objectives: (1) revise materials forCE 218 (Sustainable Engineering) to introduce EOP, (2) revise materials for CE 303(Introduction to Construction Engineering) to integrate EOP outcomes, (3) map EOP outcomesto existing required undergraduate courses, (4) engage CE faculty by introducing the EOPframework and providing opportunities for implementation, and (5) develop a guidancedocument for faculty interested in integrating EOP in courses. These efforts were assessed forboth courses at the University of Kentucky (CE 218 and CE 303) in collaboration

It underscores the urgency of further research to enhance the integration of datascience in the CHE curriculum and the essential role of preparing students for an industry thatincreasingly relies on data analytics and computational techniques.IntroductionThe integration of data science in chemical engineering is a rapidly evolving field, with a focuson data management, statistical and machine
transformativetechnologies, reshaping how current fields are fundamentally approached, including our owncybersecurity. To that effect, AI/ML inclusion in the university curriculum is essential. Their earlyIntegration would help students develop critical cybersecurity operational skills in high demandacross various sectors such as IT, e-commerce, healthcare, finance, marketing, and technology.For example, understanding AI/ML-driven threat detection and response systems can significantlyenhance the ability to protect vulnerable digital infrastructures in any corporation. As AI/ML is adouble-edged sword, it is used by cyber-criminals and rogue actors for malicious purposes,including data theft, ransomware attacks, service disruption, espionage, social engineering

Thisresearch indicates positive results in the student’s engagement, but did not examine the impactthe course had on future courses in the curriculum. Additional research at Rose-Hulman Instituteof Technology studied improvement in the understanding of “a more realistic mode of theirfuture work place demographic”7. The results, while positive, where mostly anecdotal in nature.Finally, research on the benefits of cohort in engineering education is limited8, but indicates theimportance of cohort development on the development of a positive “attitude” towardsengineering.This paper presents the findings of a two part impact study.

Embedding EMC into the ET curriculum and the development of an EMC courseIt is important to keep in mind that a course in EMC is not standalone but builds on existingelectrical and electronics engineering programs as a whole. EMC/EMI concepts and principlescan be highlighted with examples from other courses e.g. analog/digital electronics, powerelectronics, mobile communication, microprocessors, VLSI and digital design, etc. Althoughvarious concepts of EMI/EMC can also be incorporated in various courses, but a dedicated EMCcourse would be of many benefits where various issues and problems can be

understanding of how the intended Project Leadthe Way (PLTW) curriculum differs from the enacted curricula. This understanding is important tomake the professional development programs more meaningful to the immediate needs of theteacher in the classroom. By identifying, the factors that contribute to any merging differencesbetween the curricula helped fill the gap in research on teacher knowledge and beliefs about the useof science and mathematics content in the PLTW classroom as they enact the curriculum. PLTW isan innovative hands-on pre-engineering curriculum designed for K-12 students based on projectand problem-based learning. It tries to combine math and science principles to present engineeringconcepts to students in a way that tries to keep up

Second, e-portfolio platforms that emphasize studentlearning, reflection, and assessment often marginally support the actual work of producingartifacts. The added workload and technical learning curve students and faculty face in bridgingthe portfolio-work tool gap can be a significant barrier to adopting new, innovative e-portfolioplatforms.The purpose of this study is to determine how student learning can be evidenced using theproject management (PM) and knowledge management (KM) platforms already used in acapstone engineering design course as e-portfolio archives.
