emergence of acommon object for common understanding of the activity, the team members have attuned to oneanother. 9The individuals in a team each bring a slightly different set of experiences, conceptualunderstandings, and mental models to the activity. They have engaged by committing to worktogether. They respond to one another as they coordinate their individual contributions. To attuneto one another requires that they, at least partially, enter into one another’s conceptual spaces –that they refract their team member’s contributions in their mental models of the activity.Refraction, defined by Radford and Roth, is a kind of seeing what another person is saying andsimultaneously seeing that contribution in the context of what you are offering
Conference. Thisresulted in gathering 47 papers.19-65 In some cases, current information for these courses wereobtained from online curriculum and catalog sources from the various institutions (December2016). Content analysis was conducted to evaluate: curricula (major), credits, and topics. Resultsare summarized in the Appendix, Table A1. Note that in many cases the professionalism coursewas mentioned within the larger context of the paper, but was not the focus of the paper itself.The content analysis found the most courses in civil engineering (15), followed by variousengineering technology programs (6), mechanical engineering (4), chemical engineering (3), andnuclear engineering (3); four institutions required a single professional issues course

historic and current status of engineering and the military, engineering andcapitalism, and the trends towards more human-centered engineering. We provide information onthe degree to which current engineering practice, in the US, is heavily directed by the militaryand by corporate capitalism. We also briefly touch on historic reasons for this. We end theintroduction with a reflection on a growing movement in the tech sector for alternatives, likehumanitarian engineering, public interest technology, and design justice.Engineering and MilitarismFrom the dawn of our species, human beings have been using their knowledge of the physicalworld to design tools; to create spaces for living, working, and socializing; and to acquire andutilize resources for
engineering courses, inquiry-based learning in mechanics, and design projects to help promote adapted physical activities.

[13],personality profiles [14], student self-selection, or weighted mathematical algorithms of variousforms [15, 16]. However, Aller, Lyth and Mallak [17] note that shared interests and motivationare probably the best predictors of team performance and “much more so than the methodsidentified.”Of course, this implies that project definition and the very nature of the project itself may also befactors. Bracken, et. al. consider the attributes for successful capstone project selection [18].They conclude that perceived value of the project to students, relevance to the engineeringdiscipline and the use of emerging “cool” technologies are factors, with the caveat that once aproject commences and regardless of the project selection, that “having a
change” appears necessary.Amongst the many issues being debated on college campuses today are: (i) the need to reformpresent programs and curricula, (ii) the need to introduce organizational changes, (iii) the need tocollaborate with industry in the Region, (iv) the desire to foster appropriate engineering culturein the classroom and at the workplace; and, (v) the need to introduce effective assessmentmethods for the purpose of improving students’ learning and help optimize the teaching-learningprocesses. In broad terms, two interrelated thrusts for “a change” have emerged lately, andappear to be addressed simultaneously today. First, those that are systems and structure-relatedsuch as: programs, curricula, facilities, faculty and staff

In the midst of their heroic efforts to find and save factory workers, an aftershock measuring a 5.3 on the Rich- ter scale hits and 7 emergency workers, scattered throughout the factory, are too badly injured to escape. Res- cue workers have asked that your Robotic Rescue Team dispatch a robot to help identify where the workers are trapped so that critical resources can be focused on the rescue of the emergency workers. The local rescue workers have provided you information about the warehouse that you might find useful for your robot. They have provided a blueprint of the area needed to be searched as well as photos of the facility prior to the earthquake

Emergent themes include experiencing/considering disability identity as a fluid experience,as a characteristic that ‘sets you apart’, and as a medicalized symptom or condition. Findingsfrom this work can be used by engineering educators and administrators to inform more effectiveacademic and personal support structures to destigmatize disability and

IntroductionThe engineering community is rediscovering its roots of professionalism. During the past decadeengineering education moved beyond single minded devotion to science and technology byembracing multidisciplinary studies. To complete the transition from engineering scientists backto engineering professionals, education for the next decade is focusing on incorporating ethics andsocial responsibility into the curriculum

Specific attention is given to theprinciples of ecology that will influence ecological engineering design practice. We also noteorganizational challenges posed by working with faculty and administration from manydisciplines, attracting students, research funding and external partnerships, and seeking ABETaccreditation.IntroductionThe emerging practice of ecological engineering grows out of the failure of past engineeringpractice to provide for human welfare while at the same time protecting the natural environmentfrom which goods and services are drawn.

In particular, we surveyedstudents during the Winter 2022 term in which, at the University of California Irvine, classesstarted online and transitioned back to in person after four weeks. We collected and analyzedstudents’ written responses to four open-ended survey prompts that asked students to describehow they adapted to online learning and to the transition back to in person learning. Weperformed inductive coding of the students’ responses to discover emergent themes from thesefirst hand accounts of student experiences, and we discuss students’ challenges and successesrelated to themes such as motivation, time management, maintaining a work/life balance,communication with peers, and access to technology and a
