societal aspects of engineering practice are the subjects of several ABET2000 outcomes. ABET 2000 criterion 3(f) states that "Engineering programs mustdemonstrate that their graduates have an understanding of professional and ethicalresponsibility." Criterion 3(h) states – "Engineering programs must demonstrate that theirgraduates have the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineeringsolutions in a global and societal context." And, Criterion 4 requires that programgraduates have design experience…that includes most of the following considerations:economic, environmental, sustainability, manufacturability, ethical, health and safety,social, and political"(Schimmel, 2000), (ABET, 1998). Notwithstanding ABETrequirements, a recent

Paper ID #18064Innovation Self-Efficacy: A Very Brief Measure for Engineering StudentsDr. Mark Schar, Stanford University The focus of Mark’s research can broadly be described as ”pivot thinking,” the cognitive aptitudes and abilities that encourage innovation, and the tension between design engineering and business management cognitive styles. To encourage these thinking patterns in young engineers, Mark has developed a Scenario Based Learning curriculum that attempts to blend core engineering concepts with selected business ideas. Mark is also researches empathy and mindfulness and its impact on gender participation in

seems to make more sense in the way they are able to work, so I get a deeper understanding.□ Discussing helicopters and their components is a great way for the topics we are covering in class to come alive. It offers us another window in topics like stress and strain, and does so in a way that is interesting and very realistic.□ Any chance to relate real life engineering practices to what is being studied in the class is beneficial to everyone. In this case, helicopters fit the bill quite well.□ The theme approach is effective and should definitely be part of the class curriculum.□ Studying helicopters in our course in order to teach us about the different mechanical ele- ments is a great idea.

pervasive assumption about educating students who are deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH) is thatovercoming the communication barrier between instructor and student is sufficient to effectivelyeducate these students. However, a critical challenge that DHH students face in pursuing STEMdegrees is developing problem-solving skills and by extension, understanding the interactionamong concepts or variables that are interrelated. To address these challenges, an approach wasdeveloped that combines interactive, experiential learning activities with the A3-based approachto problem-solving commonly used in industry. Utilizing a state-of-the-art production systemslaboratory, DHH students act as workers in manufacturing and warehousing scenarios and workin teams to

looked for innovativeways to integrate technology into their teaching curriculum. This paper mainly focuses on theidentification and implementation of flip classroom and lecture capture methodologies into theFGCU educational building block. To meet this objective, the office of Academic and EventTechnology Services (AETS) spent extensive amount of time and resources to identify a costeffective and user-friendly system that can be used across disciplines and departments at FGCU.This task evolved from the literature of best practice to select the appropriate software,equipment, and resources that are most appropriate for the FGCU environment.

from allthat is available is problematic. Similar to our counterparts in the industry, educators must selectsoftware which satisfies a number of often competing requirements. Our software acquisitionsmust compliment the curriculum, integrate with the technical capacity of the institution, andprovide sufficient challenge to students, all the while reflecting current industry standards. Weare thus presented with a shared dilemma: how do both educators and industry decide whichsoftware application(s) to acquire?Software acquisition and adaptation decisions often involve comparing alternatives of severalcriteria. However, the end users of the software systems may not necessarily be familiar with theoverall decision-making criteria. To address this
