Inanother survey question 72% of the 2007 class indicated they would probably work for a Fortune500 company.

ethics were positively impacted [12].The third model for developing students’ non-technical skills is requiring stand-alone courses orworkshops that are integrated into the curriculum. For example, one study [13] demonstrated theeffectiveness of integrating teamwork and soft skill-focused workshops into a manufacturingsystems course. These students showed improved team performance after going through a “softskills” workshop. Another study investigated “soft-skill” focused single class sessions withinengineering courses and found an increased ability for students to utilize soft skills [14]. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2022 2022 ASEE Midwest Section ConferenceRooted in

interpersonal skills critical for graduates’ success in their professional fields. Each competency is linked to specific Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to track achievement over time. Workshops and Training: To prepare students for standardized examinations and professional practice, workshops and training sessions are implemented. These initiatives focus on familiarizing students with exam structures, common question types, and time management strategies, ensuring they are well-prepared to demonstrate their competencies.3.

This paper discusses and examines a novel pre-college STEM interventionthat occurs at a technical engineering research conference. The intervention consists of a mini-workshop that has six components: (1) an introduction of graduate student mentors, (2) a generalintroduction to the engineering field of Smart Material and Structures through a PowerPointpresentation and live demonstrations of smart materials, (3) a low-cost design and buildengineering activity that uses smart materials to demonstrate the applicability of the field

The key element in this and in most definitions of GL is thatmaterials are not produced by commercial publishers. One implication of this is that there can bemany different types of GL. Indeed, Schöpfel and Farace reproduce a list of 131 differentdocument types originally compiled by GreyNet International, all of which can “contain uniqueand significant scientific and technical information that is often never published elsewhere” [1].While readers might quibble with some of the types of GL compiled by GreyNet International,this list of 131 types serves to

Understanding where and how BIM is being used well, what challenges andgaps persist, and how to conduct research in a responsive, iterative, and informative way canhelp. Upskilling the overall industry and its people will require providing education intechnologies, processes, and communication standards and building research capability. Toachieve this, the education system faces challenges regarding educators' knowledge base andskills (which may be lacking in BIM), the financial and physical resources available, and generalresistance to change by educational institutions and the people who teach in them [3].Global leaders in BIM adoptionRecent research has identified

Itsupports external software and scripts via MAVLink, further facilitating GPS spoof simulation,and making it suitable for testing countermeasures against spoofing attacks. PX4 also provides awide variety of drone models, allowing for versatility in the simulation.However, PX4 does have several weaknesses when it comes to simulating GPS spoofing attacks.The simulation setup process can be complex and requires significant technical skill, making useof PX4 internals, MAVLink, and UNIX to modify GPS data or inject spoofed coordinates.Without built-in cybersecurity attack simulation software, users are forced to

Due to the robustness of these tools, further validation wasdeemed unnecessary for this study.5. Data AnalysisIn the engagement section, cognitive engagement in out-of-lab activities showed the mostsignificant improvement (+11.30%), while physical engagement increased slightly (+3.50%).Emotional engagement remained stable, but cognitive engagement in-lab decreased (-6.60%),possibly due to the lab session being conducted at the end of the semester, when students werepreoccupied with final coursework. For engineering identity, performance/competence improvedthe most (+10.70%), while recognition (+1.60%) and interest (+0.20%) saw minor

The benefit of service tasks is oftenundervalued. Service is not seen as a contributor to a tenure application to the department,college, and institution, causing junior and senior faculty alike to neglect their service duties infavor of other efforts [3].

Based on the above, this paper suggeststhat, in the practice of interdisciplinary education reform, the design of student-centeredteaching methods should be strengthened, and the construction of interdisciplinary identity ofengineering graduate students should be continuously
