Virginia, the TechnologyLeaders Program, provided the case study for this research. This interdisciplinary program consists ofcollaboration between the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and Systems Engineering (SIE)departments. It is comprised of a three year curriculum that fosters a learning environment in whichelectrical, computer and systems engineering students collaborate to engage in the designing, prototypingand testing of engineering systems. The value added of a TLP student is grounded in their ability toengage both systems integration and domain-specific engineering work. At the end of the curriculum,graduates should be more able to “design systems requiring the integration of knowledge and skills from”electrical, computer and

The studyincluded 38 public colleges and 28 private colleges and included both education faculty andsubject matter faculty. In the study 140 faculty were given both closed-ended and open-endedquestions. 89% of the respondents claimed that critical thinking was a primary objective theirinstruction, but only 9% were clearly teaching for critical thinking on a typical day in class1. Asimilar disconnect between the amount of critical thinking experience engineering andtechnology faculty at IUPUI believed they were providing to students and the amount of criticalthinking experience students perceived they were receiving was reported by Cooney et al5

correlating the course and lab material, and reduced the time tocomplete the reports.I. BACKGROUND AND MOTIVATIONBackgroundCurrently, there are numerous teaching and pedagogical methods that target student engagement,comprehension, and scholarship abilities in engineering education. One of the most prominent isknown as Project-based learning (PBL). PBL focuses on the application of knowledge rather thanthe acquisition of knowledge and its primary objective involves enhancing student comprehensionby incorporating project-based instruction [13], [19], [20]. An alternative instructional methodincorporated in engineering education is the implementation of visual cueing, which according toresearchers, is verified to increase retention rates in less time

Seminar course dealt with issues that were meant to be applicable to their Design Labprojects—expanding their notions of inequality and differing access based on gender and otherforms of privilege: s_1: And so it's a study of feminism and gender along with cultural stuff to take into account a lot of our projects because the main goal is to be able to think beyond or think outside of what you know and gain methods on how to think about that. And a few of the things they've shown us have really been impactful for me a little bit. It was just realizing biases and inequality and stuff and how stuff is separated unfairly in some situations. s_7: […] the idea is to think in a different mind frame instead of the one
suggests that typically, engineers’ sense of civic responsibility declines over the courseof their engineering education, as studied by Cech 2 . Pierrakos et. al 3 , in their work onreimagining ethics in engineering curricula, acknowledge this culture of disengagement andpiecemeal treatment of ethical roles 4 5 as a driving reason requiring re-engagement. These studiesinspired our work.In this paper, we describe our pan-engineering efforts working with faculty, alumni andundergraduate students from many engineering disciplines to help determine if our understandingof the need to integrate better ethics engagement is echoed by other faculty and students.

students mostinterested in MSE had a better understanding of the field.44The 2014 ASEE conference had several additional papers presented that are tangentiallyrelated to the research project currently underway at the University of Arkansas. Theyrepresent the various types of research being done on students’ perceptions ofengineering and science related careers. Nadelson and colleagues used surveys to assessthe undergraduate understanding of several engineering career options. The only taskspecific idea used in this survey was that engineers solved problems.45A paper by Rito does address student perceptions of industrial engineers. One of the fewpapers found that focuses on this engineering discipline. However, the question askedwere about

studentshave reported skipping buying a required textbook because of the cost. This can present a have-and-have-not scenario for students, putting those without the funds to purchase textbooks at adisadvantage. Backing this claim up, a study by Colvard et al. [5] found that replacing traditionaltextbooks with OER resulted in lower DFW rates (percentage of students getting a D, an F, orwithdrawing from a course) among Pell Eligible students in the study. OER can not only helpstudents save money but can also help narrow the achievement gap between well-off studentsand disadvantaged students. A 2017 survey of over 2,700 higher education faculty summarizedboth the challenges facing OER, the low awareness, and significant perceived barriers toadopting, but

complicated material. Statements like, “Not everyone is good atmath,” or, “Many students struggle in my class,” send a message to students that havingquestions about a topic or having to work hard to grasp a new idea indicates they may be one ofthose students who will not be successful in the field of study.Abundant research suggests that instructor beliefs about student learning largely contribute tostudent outcomes in STEM courses. Recent work of Yaeger et al.

(COVID-19) pandemic[17]. Virtual experiments are an interesting alternative; however, it would be difficult toimplement currently published virtual experiments in underserved communities because they areentirely computational and may require remote access to expensive testing equipment [18]–[21].At-home experiments with virtual instruction have the capacity to overcome these challenges.Mechanical, electrical [22], and chemical engineering [23]–[25] educators have embraced at-home experiments as low-cost strategies to teach relevant topics, but there is a dearth of at-homeexperiments teaching principles of biomaterials. To the authors’ knowledge, Lee et al. were theonly group to publish an at-home biomaterials experiment [21]. To address this

This approachintroduces a dual grading system, where students are not only evaluated as part of the collectiveeffort but also receive an individual grade for their specific contributions. By examining thisapproach's impact, we aim to discover how it affected students’ opinions of teamwork. The centralquestion driving this research is, "How can teamwork become a more enjoyable and productiveexperience for students?" Teamwork is the cornerstone of success in engineering [1, 2], a field where complexproblems demand collaborative solutions. However, the path to effective teamwork can bechallenging. The complexities of engineering projects present a distinct set of challenges
