This model is integrated in varying formats through the instruction ofthe engineering design process, but there is a theoretical and practical model that puts theseprinciples into actionable skills and steps: Giving Voice to Values (GVV) as introduced byGentile [6]. A search of the American Society for Engineering Education document repositoryreveals that there are only five papers that have directly cited GVV. The oldest was published in2014, and the newest in 2023.The following sections of this work in progress paper set the stage for the introduction by theDepartment of Engineering & Society faculty at the University of Virginia of an innovativeframework for developing engineering students’ competencies for acting on their values

During her second visit, she went through the details ofthe case, discussing the analysis and recommendations. Student teams had an assignment duringthe two weeks in between her visits. In addition to Lean-specific concepts, the assignment hadcultural and global elements as well.

At another level, web-based presentation of content can free theclassroom instructor from the limited and passive task of traditional lecture, leaving class timefor more active learning scenarios such as collaboration and one-on-one instruction. Finally, allof these methods have an advantage over traditional software tools since they are available toanyone with a web browser and internet connection, and they allow for networking beyond a setgroup of computers to connections around the globe.Research indicates that much of the promise of these learning systems has not been fullyrealized[6
class, but in a specific way. It aims to instruct the student onwhat smartness is, how they should view themselves, and how they should view others in relationto themselves. This instruction is given to students implicitly through artifacts such as grades, testscores, establishment of accepted behaviors, etc. These artifacts are not established solely by theinstructor; they are established by all members of the class. In other words, the nature of smartnesslends itself to co-construction of all members of the classroom, even those who are marginalizedby this definition. Further, since smartness is implicit and done to others, the behaviors andartifacts that constitute smartness are immeasurable, and as both Hatt [5] and Carrillo [22] argue,they

&T fundamentals was regarding dimension tolerances. TheY14.5 standard specifies a default tolerance zone for features of size through what is referred toas Rule 1, also known as the envelope principle [13] when there are only dimension toleranceswithout geometric tolerancing. This rule states that when only a tolerance of size is specified fora feature of size, the limits of size prescribe the extent of allowed variation in its geometric form.Specifically, the envelope principle (Rule 1) states that the surface of a feature of size may notextend beyond an envelope of perfect form at MMC (Maximum Material Condition)[13]. In thisway, Rule 1 of GD&T shows the relationship between dimension tolerance and geometrictolerancing. We used some

Further, women who choose STEM majors are almost twice as likely as mento leave that major due to an unwelcoming culture or lack of engaging introductory courses [11].While it appears that some sex- and racially-based barriers have been removed as students movefrom secondary school through the university, the shortage of women and minorities in STEMcareers remains relatively intractable.There is a growing body of evidence that hidden biases in the workplace contribute to theleakage of women and minorities from STEM-related industries [2].

By emphasizing iterative learning, reflection, andstructured support, this approach equips students with the skills and mindset to excel in thedynamic and evolving landscape of modern engineering.

Manytransformative efforts involving equity, diversity, inclusion, and decolonization are centered onethics as a justifying principle, which further stresses the need to cultivate an ethical orientationin engineering practice, beyond specific knowledge. A new course on professionalism and ethicswas introduced as a platform to explore scalable pedagogical approaches to enhance engagementand achieve affective learning outcomes in engineering ethics.

For our first implementation in Mechatronics, while software is an importantcomponent of the program, it is only one of four main program threads, with hardware,mechanical design, and control systems being the other three. Consequently, the problem spacewas expanded beyond a typical hackathon.Hackathons are typically extra-curricular and held over a weekend. This was seen as overlyinvasive of the student time given their very heavy first semester. Accordingly, it was essentialthat this activity be part of the regularly scheduled class time for the students, although thisproduces scheduling issues as discussed in Section 4.

literature reviewed previously that points out thatstudents with low grades struggle to feel a sense of belonging to their fields [26].Students became aware of each other’s GPAs through practices such as announcing theirgrades publicly to their peers or discussing grades with each other. They also typically askedeach other what they got on the test, a practice that may be related to grade curving. In thecontext of the competitive culture, this could also be an opportunity for students to positionthemselves in relation to others. For instance, Genesis told a story of how she asked her (mostlymale) peers about their grades on a test. “Or like, "Oh, well how did you guys end up doing onthe exam?" I'm like, "Oh, well, I ended up getting an A on the exam

ofreinforced concrete behavior, the design of simple beams and one-way slabs to resist shear andflexure, and the design of short columns. Because of the scale of typical civil engineeringstructures, students commonly do not get to experience large or full-scale structural behavior as apart of an undergraduate reinforced concrete course. Rather, students typically learnfundamental concepts through theoretical discussions, small demonstrations, or pictures andimages. Without the interaction with full-scale structural members, students can struggle todevelop a clear understanding of the fundamental behavior of these systems such as thedifferences in behavior of an over or under-reinforced beam. Additionally, students do not buildan appreciation for the
standards forcivil engineering licensure, consequently, many perceive the CEBOK only as an “academicexercise” that does not pertain to civil engineering practice outside formal education. With thethird edition – the CEBOK3 – this could not be further from the truth.The third edition of The Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge (CEBOK3) [1], published in2019, goes beyond formal education to define the complete set of knowledge, skills, andattitudes (KSAs) that all civil engineers should first attain and then maintain to serve inresponsible charge of civil engineering services.The CEBOK3 should be a powerful tool to guide students, academics, early-career engineers,managers, principals, and owners as the roadmap to prepare themselves and their

These results provide important implications forstudent wellness in multiple learning formats and through disruptive transitions in learning.IntroductionThe prevalence of online classes has steadily increased since their introduction more than threedecades ago. However, the COVID-19 pandemic uniquely impacted the way students andinstitutions approached education with a sudden and disruptive shift to virtual/remote and onlinelearning. These sudden changes had dramatic and widely varying impacts on university studentsrelated to not only learning and study habits, but also to

Table 1 below lists the direct and indirect measures used in the threecourses. Comparative analysis was also conducted through a pair of surveys to inform futureTablet PC usage and assessment efforts in both STEM and social science fields. A full discussionof all measures is beyond the scope of this paper. The results section will focus on the surveyanalysis only and thus provide students’ perceptions.Table 1: Direct and indirect measures to assess selected SLOs SLOs and Associated Assessment Measures
