exemplifying civic responsibility andinstilling a global perspective in aspiring teachers and leaders [3]. Additionally, various otherstudies have delved into these issues [4-6].Global education serves as a transformative force, molding individuals into conscientious globalcitizens who extend their concerns beyond the limits of nationality and culture. By instilling asense of responsibility for others and the environment, global education cultivates individuals withan active commitment to tackling pressing global challenges. The United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) recognizes the paramount importance of GlobalCitizenship Education in fostering sustainable development, upholding human rights, promotinggender equality
-20 educational and economic opportunities, includingfinancial requirements, are explored. The paper reviews the definition of P-20 and how P-20supports Engineering Technology. Supporting information illustrates the program values andbeliefs for P-20 leaders. P-20 leaders must be innovators, exploring creative solutions to resolveeducational issues and problems. The role of innovation in education and the importance of thedevelopment of new teaching methods and solutions are examined. The successful P-20 leadermust implement ideas and new methods. The importance of successful innovationimplementation is researched. Leadership development is important to the P-20 student, and therequirements of leadership are explained. Diversity and the

difference.This analysis essentially shows there is no significant relationship between learning agilepractices and developing an agile mindset. This aligns with our hypothesis, presented earlier, thatteaching agile machinery does not lead to a greater agile mindset.Threats to ValidityInternal Validity: This threat concerns parameters that affect the relationship between theresearch activity and the results, such as participant bias. We mitigated this issue by selectingclasses that use ASD practices for a semester-long project to avoid unreliable data. Anotherthreat not controlled for is instructor bias, and finally we note there were changes in classroomrestrictions due Covid-19 between the Fall and Spring semesters in the 2021-22 academic year.External

addition to the scores on each project, a survey was given to the experimental group. Thepurpose of the survey is to get direct feedback from the students concerning the effect of theKolbe Index of their team’s performance.The SampleThe four sections of the first year engineering design course involved in this study each hadbetween forty and forty-five students. All four sections used the same textbooks and worked onthe same projects. The author of this paper taught the experimental section while two otherfaculty taught the three control group sections. The differences in teaching style and contentbetween the three faculty involved is one threat to the internal validity of this study. Becauseobservations are taken both before and after the
study drew on Strayhorn’s ‘buoyant believers’framework to explain the role of self-efficacy and resilience in the success of Black malesmajoring in engineering and related fields.20 The framework offers practitioners, faculty, andstaff with a guide for helping minority STEM students address and overcome challenges andproceed down pathways toward college achievement. Importantly, this framework allowed theresearchers to go beyond typical explanations for racial disparities in student success (e.g., lackof pre-college preparation or interest) to provide new insights into Black student success inengineering and related fields during college. The current investigation depicts how the ‘buoyant
enthusiasm to a topic, their understanding of the materials, andhow the learning activities are carried out. Because the extra curricular topics selectedfor the after-school enrichment program are mostly new, or at least partially new, to theteachers, well-prepared lesson plans and proper training of the teachers on the conceptsand activities are key factors to the success of the project. It was also realized that mostmiddle school teachers are heavily loaded with their teaching responsibilities. Therefore,effective use of their time on preparation of the after-school enrichment sessions was alsoan important factor to be considered. To address most of these issues, a workshop wasorganized each year to train the teachers on all the topics, and to
the final report, anumber of new sections need to be added, including: • Subsystem development/design • System Integration, testing, and results • Environmental and safety concerns • Legal, ethical, or political concerns • Sustainability, and • Expanded appendices.The instructor explains how each section can be developed and what resources the students canuse. However, the major portion of the designated time is intended to be used as lab time so thatstudents can work on their projects. Other than the lectures, the instructor meets with each groupseparately at least three times during the semester. The purpose of these meetings is for the teamto update the instructor on the progress of the project. Therefore, if any help is

Currently, many of the military faculty obtain their PE licenses prior to attending graduate school. Their Corps of Engineers duties and strong undergraduate backgrounds provide the necessary experience and expertise to sit for and pass the exam. Since accreditation criteria require a PE license to teach any course with design content, the ability to obtain a professional registration an important faculty selection criterion.

The goal of this focused attention is to empower all American students tolearn computer science and to be supported to develop strong computational thinking skillsneeded to be creators in the digital economy and active citizens in the world [3]. Our economyis rapidly shifting, and both educators and business leaders are increasingly recognizing thatcomputer science is a “new basic” skill necessary for economic opportunity and social mobility.2.

These termsholistically address the professional responsibilities and ethics of the engineering profession, andappropriately are not generalized, or lumped in to an “Engineering Ethics” exercise. Rather, thisUniversity addresses each of the terms, to explore and teach ethics in creative ways. Eachoutcome phrase/term (e.g. consideration of global contexts, consideration of societal contexts,etc.) is carefully examined, researched, and addressed, through faculty collaboration, studentfeedback, and Industry Advisory Committee involvement. Furthermore, each component ofethics, the understanding of each term, elicits a unique exposure to the student.Finally

are teaching some of the thought processes used by engineersto the students. At the university level, there are the occasional engineering courses offered tonon-engineering majors, but such courses are frequently low-level and often not taught byregular faculty. As such, students taking such courses may only receive a brief overview of theengineering discipline.Some have argued that engineering faculty need to do more to increase the technical literacy of abroad-spectrum of students. But putting non-majors in the mid-level or upper-level engineeringcourses often taught by faculty would result in overwhelmed students attempting to learnengineering course material without prerequisite knowledge; such an approach is likely to domore harm than

Issues of how to program the judgment of self-driving cars and the issues ofhow to protect individual privacy while advancing AI and machine learning algorithms areamong the current list of such ethical issues. Central to the preparation of the next generation ofengineers is instruction that goes beyond simple rote knowledge of codes of ethics, but insteadchallenges undergraduate engineering students to wrestle with the complexities of realisticsituations in which rules and guidelines are at odds with higher ethical goals. This leavesengineering faculty with the question of how best to prepare engineers to both understand theethical

Changes include new requirements, new flexibility, new emphasis, newstructure and new approach [1].Historically the ISO 9000 standards were created from a chain of earlier military andgovernmental quality standards for example US military (Mil-Q-9858A) and NATO (AQAP-1). In 1979, the British Standards Institution issued “BS 5750”, which along with otherexisting standards such as Canada “Z-299” quality standards became the eventual basis forthe present ISO9000 international standards. After ISO 9000 was issued, the BritishStandards Institution revised “BS 5750” to conform to the new composite standard [2].ISO 9000 is fairly simple to
