the impact of aworkshop that was independent of curricular content covered in the introductory engineeringcourse. Undoubtedly, the cumulative experience of the summer bridge program – rather than theintroductory engineering course alone –shaped students’ beliefs about engineering. We do notclaim these findings to be the sole result of the introductory engineering course, but rather offerthese findings to contribute to the conversation about outreach and recruitment of students inengineering.ResultsThe following sections discuss findings from students’ entrance surveys and reflections on afinal exam.

collaboration is not an expectation. This typeof setting (a one-class community with multiple sub-independent communities) is one of the mostcommon or traditional in collaborative engineering classes. This course will help us to understandhow students with two different backgrounds (educational and computer science) negotiate theirparticipation, adapt their language, and bring their knowledge, skills, and object to the newcommunity, and whether and how students emerge as “brokers” (Wenger, 1998) that helpdisseminate ideas and tools across the disciplinary communities.Building Information Modeling in Construction (BIM)This course is offered for graduate students from the civil engineering department.

They are a mix of tenure-track and “specialized” faculty(teaching-focused instructors, lecturers, and teaching assistant professors), but the majority aretenure-track assistant professors.These participants attend weekly seminars, for the entire academic year, on topics such aslearning objectives, active learning, and grading. Actual topics covered in the 2018-2019 year arelisted in Appendix A. An additional core part of the program is a classroom observation toreceive formative feedback on their teaching. As part of the classroom observation process,instructors also gather informal early feedback from their students. The

development literature indicates that faculty members whoreceive adequate mentoring are more productive leading to greater overall objective careersuccess. Minimal research in engineering education has investigated the impact of facultydevelopment and mentoring programs despite these findings. Evaluating faculty developmentand mentoring programs can elicit information that can help inform the development of anevidenced-based approach to designing such programs.

What aspects of place—their locality's history andculture—inform rural students' selection of environmental monitoring topics to investigate? Howdoes conducting place-based environmental monitoring projects contribute to rural students’engineering and science identity development? In the United States, rural settings are an under-researched (Lavalley, 2019) culturalcontext for education, even though approximately half of school districts, a third of schools, anda fifth of students in the United States are in rural areas (NCES, 2016).

Semi-structuredinterviews are advantageous because they provide a balance between guided questions and theflexibility to explore emergent topics [23]. Open-ended questions encouraged participants toshare detailed accounts of their LS experiences that included perceptions, emotions, andreflections.The protocol included three parts: 1) the logistics information, such as the recording proceduresand approximate interview duration; 2) the research overview, and 3) the core questions.

another[6]. Multiple empirical studies [7], [8] conducted over several decades have shown that studentachievement and motivation have a positive relationship with collaborative learning.Cognitive scientist Elizabeth Bonawitz [9] posits that curiosity is a natural response toinformation, acting as a filter that helps the mind decide what information to attend to. Curiosityplays an important role in higher education, acting as a driving force for learning and academicachievement [10]. Inquiry-based learning, which involves posing a problem or setting up anexperiment, can stimulate a student’s curiosity. Experimental learning, which can include hands-on laboratory experiments, is an essential element of higher education, allowing students to
expected to learn it and remember it, and if you don’t, you are stupid”.4According to this model, teaching is telling, and learning is bulimic. Some 70 years of researchshows that telling, in the form of lecturing, is just as good for transmitting information as, but“no better than, reading a book, listening to a tape, or watching a film”.4 The same researchshows that within weeks and months, students retain only 10 percent of that information. Eventhen, they can rarely apply it to the messy problems of business and life.Learning is something students do. It requires compelling problems and well-designedlaboratories, studios, workshops, and playing spaces. If we refocus our efforts on learning,professors can exploit information technology to
‘military engineering ethics.’Engineering education interfaces with the military in three key ways: (1) students being educatedto become commissioned military officers at U.S. service academies and other institutions viaROTC programs, who are majoring in engineering; (2) military veterans as ‘non-traditionalstudents’ earning engineering degrees; and (3) engineering students who will work on defenseand/or military-related technology. Key facets of these three groups are discussed below.The U.S. government’s service academies all award engineering degrees. As well, ROTCprograms are present at “over 1700 college and universities” [23]. Thus, a number of engineeringstudents are simultaneously receiving formal education for two professions. “Doctors
creative and imaginative would be stressed if not diminished. So this author suggests: keep the BOK2, keep it up to date. Continue the dialog. Ensure that the BOK is kept up to date, leave it as a moving target, do not allow it to become stationary, refine it as time, technology, and the demands of the profession change, and embrace an expectation that programs should be prepared to explain how they are or are not meeting those expectations, and where they are not, why. Healthy, informed dialogs are the way in which progress is made, in academia as well as everywhere else. Bibliography 3 1. ASCE Body of Knowledge Committee of CAP . 2004.

Beyond traditional undergraduate engineering education, Internet of Thingsprojects have also been aimed at community college and K-12 students [16]. IoT technologiesare also integrated into emerging forms of educational technologies such as wearables – for areview see [17].

decisions. A subset of those decisions involves ethicaldimensions. While the answers to those decisions may not be self-evident, practice and educationcan help improve engineers’ decision quality during design processes.This research paper helps answer the question: what topics are engineering students exposed towhen they learn about ethics in their design courses? Specifically, in what ways do design andethics co-occur in engineering design courses?To answer this question, we collected course information from 60 universities and fivedisciplines. In particular, we looked at the program requirements for the top 60 engineeringdegree-granting universities. Across each university, we focused on the five most popularengineering programs.
