To teach how to be effective team leaders Northwestern has automated the engineering student team performance assessment surveys and computation of 360 degree reviews and planning the work and working the plan to be effective in project teams through PM charters. It was the best example of a breakout session at this conference on engineering leadership training that had data to back its assertions.Community Engagement Programs ResearchThe Community Engagement one was a North American universities 2 day workshop conferenceon service learning in engineering education hosted by Purdue featuring over 80 attendeesassociated with
structural modeling,parametric modeling, and traceability between the system and the requirements.The purpose of Module 3 is to develop a more comprehensive understanding of system structureand how it can be modelled using internal block diagrams, ports and connectors. For MA3,students are expected to incorporate feedback from MA2 while demonstrating an understandingof requirement traceability and consistency, the relationship between state machines andactivities, and interface management. To demonstrate the cohesive nature of their model, studentsmust demonstrate at least one executable analysis that can be solved using the ‘Cameo SimulationToolkit’ plugin.Students are also expected to participate in discussions on an online discussion board
engineering education, nuclearWengineering, science and technology studies (STS), social science, philosophy, rhetoric, and technical communication (as a non-exhaustive list). The design-build-test framework is an evidence-based approach to engaged learning in engineering education [3, 4, 5]. It allows students to learn engineering concepts and skills while learning the engineering design process. This approach is particularly effective when paired with technical communication instruction, in which students also write and speak about their design work across diverse audiences. Sometimes, students design for community organizations or local businesses to solve a particular design challenge. However, the opportunity

country’s competitiveness, andbusiness growth. While EM learning is traditionally a business topic, engineers are productdesigners who provide the technical knowledge and contributions to business organizations.Ultimately, they end up in many leadership roles in companies [3]. Many professors in theengineering profession have made this realization and begun to use EML in engineeringeducation, especially in the 21st Century [4], [5], [6], [7]. Providing EML within an engineeringcurriculum is an opportunity that can help the next generation of students expand their skillsetand provide value to the profession [8].Along with any change, there are caveats for successful implementation. The content must beclearly identified and then the method of

In a nontraditionalformat, the course blends theory with practice, focusing on teamwork, analyzing realconstruction case studies, and presenting weekly topics such as proposal analysis,construction execution, cost analysis, and project management.The course's practical sessions involve: ● studying the construction processes that are relevant to the projects, ● exploring the possibility of implementing new technologies and ● analyzing technical and administrative data from real projects tendered publicly.The program guides students through various tasks, including reviewing technical documents,assessing financial strategies, and optimizing processes. This will help them prepare for real-world challenges in

Employing these resources, a capstone advisor feedbacktool was developed which was tailored to the expectations of our program. Results of thisfeedback are discussed.Standard Course Evaluation ToolsCapstone represents a very important part of engineering education, especially given the currentemphasis on industry readiness in graduates,3 and it is thus important to do well. This role isvery different than traditional teaching. The advisor is not delivering specific technical content;the advisor is often not even a technical expert in the project topic. The advisor’s chief role is toguide students as they follow the design

highlight AI's role in providing real-timefeedback, simulating real-world scenarios, and solving complex problems, thus preparingstudents for industry challenges. Additionally, Harris and Kittur [2]emphasize the need forundergraduate engineering students to leverage generative AI, such as large language models, tostay competitive in the rapidly evolving technological landscape. However, concerns about theethical use and accuracy of AI-generated content persist, suggesting that AI's integration intocurricula must be carefully managed to avoid undermining academic integrity [3], [4]. Forexample, Peuker [4] investigates the utilization of generative AI among first-year mechanicalengineering students, showing that while students recognize the potential
attend these conferences, the ArizonaBoard of Technical Registration [3] does not require continuing education for ProfessionalEngineer (PE) licensure renewal. It would indicate that members who attend either self-select forinteraction and community or require continuing education for licensure out of state.Engineers are all college graduates, which means they are at a minimum in their early twenties. Itis expected that young engineers would be planning a four-year internship. At that point, in thelate-20s to early-30s, engineers take their initial exam for professional licensure. During thistime, early career stage engineers are also considering building a family. It is into this mélange ofdisparate goals; individuals may start to seek more

Inresponse to these challenges, we offered a pilot course for Composition II that has integratedSustainability Engineering. This pilot course would combine the required course objectives ofComposition II and the range of topics, research, and viewpoints within SustainabilityEngineering to engage students in STEM topics. The integration of Sustainability Engineeringwithin a required Composition II course would allow non-STEM students to be exposed toSTEM issues, allow STEM students to consider and

Aeronautical Engineering course. In collaboration with the institution wehave developed an intensive month-long New Faculty Orientation (NFO) program based on avariety of published research (see Table 2 for an exhaustive list). The program aims to preparenew faculty to be effective instructors as well as to refresh the specific technical content inpreparation for their first semester teaching. This orientation involves classroom instruction onelements of teaching and three or four sessions of practice teaching for each new facultymember. The unique component of this program is the amount of time spent practicing teaching.New faculty observe or practice-teach nearly the entire semester’s content for the course theywill be teaching during their first
hours. Thus, instructors are able to utilize their time and effort to update lecture content,develop novel assessments, and devise active learning strategies to make the classroom moreengaging.Literature ReviewThe idea of automatic grading itself is not new. Publications from the 1960s discuss the use ofautomatic grading for programming assignments to manage growing class sizes [1-2]. Sincethen, many automatic grading tools have been introduced for various purposes including, but notlimited to, programming assignments [3-7]. Autograders have the potential to increase studentmotivation [8-9], enhance teaching and tutoring sessions [9-10], and improve student perceptionof the course [9]. However, developing autograders can be challenging since

The insights gained from this pilot test will guide furtherrefinement of the case study, ensuring that it not only meets educational goals but also enhancesstudent learning. Future research will focus on conducting additional pilot tests with diversestudent populations (e.g., civil engineering, environmental engineering, constructionmanagement) to further validate the case study's effectiveness across
