learning objectives based on the issues weidentified in our student reflections. Given the apparent difficulty students had in properlyidentifying situations with ethical content encountered in their project work, it seems clear thatany efforts made to improve the instruction of ethics must begin with this. EPICS currentlyconsists of roughly 30 lab divisions, many of which are made up of 3-5 project teams, and all ofwhich work with partners in the community and have as their end users real people who intend touse the product(s) delivered.This feature sets EPICS apart from other design courses that focusonly on the iterative technical process of design. Our students interact directly with their localcommunity—and sometimes their not-so-local
methods of evaluating problems,writing technical reports, and presenting findings. The course is a 3 credit flipped course with 1hour face to face and the remaining content delivery hours online. Over the course of the 2weeks, students are exposed to library research methods via both online tutorial and face-to-face librarian instruction. Over these 2 weeks, students are required to complete twobibliographies after the online tutorial and the face to face meeting. At the end of the course,students are expected to complete a end of course group presentation that includes abibliography.Librarian RoleA librarian is considered an (asynchronous) instructor and contributor to the course. That is, thelibrarian is a part of the development and

The escorts were part of the Naval Academy Summer Seminar team, notnecessarily engineers or even technical majors. Each session was conducted by a primaryinstructor/facilitator plus at least one assistant. The escort was usually drafted to help. While ascript was provided for each instructor, they were encouraged to complete the disassembly andsubsequent reassembly themselves before presenting in order to familiarize themselves with theidiosyncrasies of these machines.

The overall goal of thisstudy was therefore to determine whether reducing course workload would be likely to “buy” anengineering professor better

Engage students in scientific research and build interdisciplinary collaborations in the STEM College by: • selecting and teaming STEM majors on a semester research project that will involve organizing regular discussion and problem solving sessions. • creating semester research projects to provide an understanding of technologies used for conducting research that may lead to presentations at scientific conferences and manuscript preparation.3. Overview of the Proposed CourseTeaching and recruiting students for interdisciplinary science courses can be challenging.Knowledge and skills involved with integrative disciplines such as “Biomechanics andBiotransport” is achieved only from experience gained through sustained effort

The weekly laboratory sessions, reinforced withtopics introduced in the lecture, focus on introducing studentsto the engineering and science behind ROV design includingfundamentals of buoyancy, propulsion, circuit design,navigation, tool usage and safety. An important outcome of thecourse is that students are learning engineering fundamentalsby direct application before they have been more formally Figure 4.

We’re like, is there any way we can live with somebody that we know? People met each other at orientation. It was like, “That girl is normal; I’m living with her.” I know everyone did that… Female 3: My sister’s a senior, and so she has a friend who’s coming here for engineering, and

In the case of inadequate finances, then the project advisor must
number of theexperiments resulting from the workshops, the organizing committee, with assistance from theMaterials Division of ASEE, began work on a compendium of selected experiments. Support forthis collection came from a broad range of individuals, agencies, and technical societies, muchlike the support for the NEW:Updates Workshops themselves.The original idea aimed to produce hard copies of about 50 selected experiments. However, atNEW:Update 94, Alfred and Evelyn McKenney and Robert Berrettini presented a concept bywhich all experiments could be placed on a CD-ROM in a format that would provide materialseducators an easy way to find and use any of the experiments. Additionally, instructors couldcustomize the experiments to meet their
classroom. Suggested improvements and modifications have included thefollowing: (12) • offer probability and statistics courses early on in the program, • include “uncertainty” and its implications in engineering analysis courses, • offer technical electives, in this domain, and let “uncertainty” be a central theme, • make use of modern computational tools to support probabilistic thinking.Such curriculum changes may fall short of meeting set goals without adequate research aimed atcontinued improvements in probabilistic and statistical thinking for civil engineering in generaland the design component in particular.3) Estimation: A main challenge of a project design is the number of variables and theirinteractions during the design
