InstructionMotivationUndergraduate engineering programs seek to train students in the process skills of engineering,which include designing hypotheses, identifying and synthesizing relevant literature, interpretingand analyzing data, and presenting findings [1]. While engineering educators routinely reportthat engineering process skills are critical, many report difficulty teaching students these skillsdue to time constraints [2]. Librarians, who specialize in the organization of information anddata, are well-equipped to help biomedical engineering (BME) educators address some of thesegaps in their students’ learning [3]. This project sought to determine whether integrating aspecialized information literacy curriculum into a BME laboratory course sequence couldimprove
connects these topics to broader understandings of student success in engineering. Justin completed their Ph.D. in Engineering Education (’22) and M.S. in Aeronautics and Astronautics (’21) at Purdue University, and two B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and Secondary Mathematics Education at the University of Nevada, Reno (’17). Atop their education, Justin is a previous NSF Graduate Research Fellow and has won over a dozen awards for research, service, and activism related to marginalized communities, including the 2020 ASEE ERM Division Best Diversity Paper for their work on test anxiety. As a previous homeless and food-insecure student, Justin is eager to challenge and change engineering engineering education to be a

Though we willdiscuss specific motivations of this module in the context of robotics and AI, our aim is to presentthe broader scope of this module towards integrating ethics across the curriculum. The goal ofthis module was to increase student efficacy in using the framework for ethical reasoning, developstudent critical and ethical reasoning skills, as well as to allow students to reflect on specificcharacter virtues they deemed important as
categorized by Murray [1] inareas such as: • Adaptation: adjustment to the organizational culture • Collaboration: effective partnership with others • Communication: clear expression of ideas, thoughts, and solutions • Technical competence: knowledge about the technical domain • Context: knowledge about the organization • Maturation: general professional capabilities and • Socialization: connection with others for a purposeMore recently, Baukal, Stokeld and Thurman [2] highlighted the need for improved skills ininterviewing, project management, critical thinking, teamwork, communication, and lifelonglearning. While curricula have been evolving to close the professional skills gap for engineeringgraduates [3], there is still work
DevelopmentThe Pathways to Innovation program (Pathways) is a faculty development andinstitutional change initiative of the Engineering Pathways to Innovation (Epicenter)project – an initiative borne out of the growing realization that 21st century engineersneed to be equipped with new kinds of knowledge and skills to effectively operate in aworld marked by rapid technological innovation.3 Students as well recognize that theyneed to know how to “collaborate effectively as leaders, in teams, and with their peers. Inaddition to their technical and analytical expertise, they need to be flexible, resilient,creative, empathetic, and have the ability to recognize and seize opportunities” (p. 36).4Over the last decade, the Epicenter partners have seen

When asked onthe post-survey if they had made a podcast, only 24% had done so. Half of the class had optedout, but 21% had initially planned to do so and had changed their minds. Another 5% wishedthey had created a podcast. Their perceptions of whether or not a podcast is a good medium tolearn technical content did not vary substantially between the beginning and end of the semester.They did indicate, however, that they invested more time creating a podcast (average of 39hours) over writing a paper (31 hours).

Each theme is proposed by faculty actively working in theresearch area and framed to be societally relevant and motivating to students.

The paper discusses the technical challenges facedby the team in charge of designing the Artificial Sky Dome. Challenges that relate to thestructure of the dome, uniform distribution of light sources, avoiding the star effect, effect ofinternal reflections, models of different sky conditions, control of sky luminance, and the needfor a post-construction calibration of the lighting control system. The construction of theArtificial Sky Dome is expected to be completed by the end of summer 2005.

It recorded 153 training sessions on technical and soft skills, including mechanicalengineering, programming, usage of sensors, computer-aided design, and 3D printing, alongsideskills in professional communication, oral and written presentation, engineering notebookdocumentation, and conflict resolution. Each senior member contributed about 3,522 hours topractice and competition, with an additional 780 hours in outreach efforts assisting 10 FIRSTteams and engaging thousands of individuals.
