Students inscience, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields can also leverage globalexperience to solve global issues more efficiently because of their better understanding ofinternational problems and cultural awareness. Daniel et al.

The same study concludes thatemployers will be putting more and more emphasis on global competence in their new hires.Similarly, on a strategic level the National Science Foundation [4], American Society forEngineering Education [5], and

Inaddition, the following specific learning objectives were added relating to Module 1: • Define conflict minerals and describe at least 2 issues surrounding them • Describe where conflict minerals are used • Describe potential options for engineers concerned with the use of conflict mineralsIn designing these modules, the instructors wanted to ensure that the social context and technicalcontent fit together to help students see engineering as a sociotechnical endeavor, not as socialand technical appreciated separately.

We then offer detailed information of three differentlines of inquiry we have pursued to gather data on the current culture and mindset guidingpedagogical and career decisions: a 2013-14 longitudinal study which examined four cohorts ofhonors students, a 2019 focus group study, and a 2021 student/faculty survey.

would be received by undergraduate students. Our initial motivation to try oral examsas an assessment tool stemmed from the constraints imposed by remote instruction due to theCOVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has had many detrimental effects on education, in part dueto the suddenness of the shift to remote instruction. One concern that emerged in this suddenshift was how to maintain academic integrity when administering written exams remotely. Toaddress this concern, faculty members who are part of this study implemented oral exams in theircourses, and through this experience, realized the potential significant benefit to student learningthat oral exams provide. To investigate these potential benefits with a goal toward supportingstudent

To advancethis technique, instructors implemented a new project database during the 2012-2013 AcademicYear that will allow instructors to longitudinally track all types of projects. Since this highenrollment course is taught by multiple faculty members, the database will also allow facultynew to the course the ability to view a historical record of term projects.Student groups are required to develop five term project ideas and present them to the instructoras null hypotheses during Milestone 1 (see following section and Table 2).

the ColdWar, engineering science was the overwhelming focus to produce engineers that could contributeto the war effort. The Science and Technology Studies (STS) movement in higher educationgrew out of the concern for environmental and social welfare of the 1970s, and some universities(UCLA, Harvey Mudd, MIT, CalTech) did try to integrate the humanities with a strong technicaleducation2. Their efforts, however, were challenged through the nation’s neoliberal policies ofthe 1980s that reduced government regulations on corporations in which engineers worked. Anability to compete and win in the global market continued to be the overarching goal through the1990s5. The 21st century brought on a new threat, terrorism, and with it, a new goal of

In engineering,attrition rates are approximately 24 percent for domestic men, 35 percent for domestic women[2], and as high as 57 percent for African American students [3].

Therefore, while it is believed that the lab revisions will address the concerns of theuniversity’s corporate partners, this cannot yet be determined. As students do begin to graduate,and as more students complete co-op assignments after taking the course, such an evaluation willbe feasible and desirable. Results of this evaluation will be integrated into the continuousimprovement of the lab experience.In summary, while

Even if we're talking about the work the Center is doing as a whole, we keep developing this technology, and we want to keep building–resources are finite. And thinking that we’ve gotta keep growing, gotta keep expanding, is just not truly sustainable, no matter what. Even if we pick what seems like a sustainable solution at the moment. And so, it's definitely interesting to be involved with the Center, where everyone has kind of this optimistic idea of new technology.
