Engineering Education, 2024Integrating Climate Change Into Engineering EducationAbstractClimate change is one of the major societal challenges of this century and students that graduatefrom engineering programs must be equipped and prepared to address this challenge. Addressingit will require broad societal changes with impacts that will reverberate through all engineeringdisciplines. Therefore, it is imperative that climate change and its associated impacts areintegrated into engineering curriculum so that the future workforce will be ready.In civil engineering, the impacts will present challenges to the design and maintenance of criticalinfrastructure systems that support daily life. The key question then becomes “how do weprepare students for

As a team, they analyzed not only their designtopic, but an unrelated ethics case study.To determine if completing ethical analyses related to their design work affected studentunderstanding and application of engineering ethics, students’ knowledge of ethics was assessedprior to learning about engineering ethics. The students were post-assessed regarding theirknowledge of engineering ethics. The results of this small-scale study will be described, alongwith the design projects and their related ethical issues. Student comments regarding the ethicsand their understanding of engineering ethics will also be explored.Introduction:One of the program outcomes for accreditation of an engineering program is that their studentsdemonstrate an

An example of these standards is CSTA 2-AP-19:“Document programs in order to make them easier to follow, test, and debug.” For the Englishlanguage arts learning standards, we used a random subset of 20 of the Common Core literacystandards [15]. An example of these standards is CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.6.5: “Demonstrateunderstanding of figurative language, word relationships, and nuances in word meanings.”(Because the subset was determined randomly, a standard listed for more than one grade couldappear more than once in our subset.

A largenumber of problems are assembled at the end of each chapter to be used for homeworkassignments. One purpose of providing a large set of problems is to give instructors theflexibility of selecting problems for homework assignments that change from semester tosemester. Having a large set of problems to pick from, the problems can be varied to reduce thechance

A recentstudy of 110 U.S.-based engineering programs showed that less that 20 percent “routinelypractice” any type of business or entrepreneurship activity3. In general, engineering faculty hasnot embraced the teaching of entrepreneurship; only 16.5 percent routinely engage engineeringstudents in entrepreneurship3. This stands in contrast with student attitudes; in one recent study82 percent of engineering students agreed with the statement “entrepreneurship education canbroaden my career prospects and choices.”4In this study we explore the benefits and challenges of

possible. As this is an industrial applicationmost of the engineers working in the facility in which it is used have only concerned themselves with ladder logicprogramming. However, ladder-logic, while providing a rich visual interface to an unexperienced programmer leavesa lot to be desired when it comes to more advanced programming applications. For this reason, the system wasdeveloped as a hybrid system, with an embedded controller handling the processing of the gage data and a PLCcontrolling the industrial automation. The idea is to allow ladder logic programmers to have an easy jump into C++programming.The educational purposes of this tool are not for classroom-style education but instead a very hands-on real worldapplication example.
