problem solvers, creative thinkers, and able to work effectively in groups [1].Research done by Seely [2] and the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE)[3] assert that improving teaching practices is necessary to help students develop thoseskills. The authors emphasize the importance of collaborative teaching strategies in thedevelopment of future engineers. Similarly, a report from the Executive Office of thePresident’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology [4] recommended theincorporation of active learning in engineering education. Several authors havedemonstrated the benefits of active learning over lecture to improve students’ learning andretention, but it has not yet been proven that active learning promotes creative
project-based learning (PBL) by enabling students to explore new ideas,generate creative solutions, and receive real-time assistance with problem-solving. It supportsknowledge expansion, interdisciplinary collaboration, and critical thinking. Tools such as AI-driven simulations 13, virtual labs, and augmented reality 14 environments allow students to gainpractical experience in scenarios that closely mimic professional engineering challenges, 15. Theseadvancements democratize education by providing high-quality learning resources to students inremote areas 16 or underprivileged backgrounds, promoting inclusivity in engineering education 17.1.3 Overview of ethical considerations in AI integration in educationAs Generative AI becomes increasingly

In addition, formative evaluation of variouscomponents of the project were negotiated and carried out.Issues in the Evaluation of Engineering Education ProgramsThe following discussion provides an accounting of four evaluation issues encountered in theevaluation of projects detailed in this paper. These issues are: (1) confusion between ABETexpectations and the role of evaluation, (2) achievement outcomes and student assessment, (3)partnerships and collaboration, (4) challenges with the evaluation design, and (5) insufficientsupport for the evaluation. While not comprehensive, the issues serve to highlight evaluationchallenges as the field of engineering

Institutions decide to “go online”to increase enrollments and revenues but do so too often without seriously considering howcourse and degree offerings, and their design, align with the institutional mission and strategicgoals. When online learning is simply construed as digitally capturing what already happens in atraditional on-campus classroom and streaming that to remote students, institutions fail tocapture the exceptional

As a result,the trend towards smaller, more independent collaborative development teams over the last twodecades of modern engineering practice has rapidly evolved into international collaborativeteaming. Any recent engineering graduate can expect to work, at some point in his or her career,on teams with members from varied cultural and linguistic backgrounds, geographicallydistributed across several international locations.Although international programs for engineering students have had some success, their impacton engineering education as a whole has remained curiously limited and peripheral; the numberof student participants remains relatively small.

about the source and control of knowledge. Social constructionist views madepopular by philosopher Richard Rorty and anthropologist Clifford Geertz suggest that the waywe think today differs from how we thought in the past. Knowledge is a social construct,directly related to the culture in which it is found. It is the product of the group, rather than anindividual effort (Bruffee 1994). Collaborative learning reflects these new ideas aboutknowledge. Collaborative learning does not assume that the teacher is the sole authority on a Page 6.273.1“Proceedings of the 2001 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference and
