Some utilize project-based learning strategies tohelp establish an understanding of the nature and limitations of engineering models [11]. Someembrace role-play as a way to demonstrate the importance of context and perspective in defining,to say nothing of solving, sociotechnical problems [12]. Yet others have an explicit focus onethics, having students grapple with real-world engineering ethics problems [13]. All of thesecourses prioritized communications and teamwork, and created opportunities for empathybuilding.3. Course overviewMaking the Modern World challenges a
what they learn to a great extent. Thus, PBSL may serve as an effective platform tofoster students’ skills of self-regulated learning and creative problem solving as comparedwith traditional learning. To help students acquire and develop necessary knowledge andskills for creatively developing the innovative solutions to the real world problems theyidentify in their PBSL, instructional scaffolding can be provided to students to facilitate theirPBSL. Among accepted scaffolding methods, question prompts are typically considered asone of effective methods for guiding students’ learning and problem solving process [6].Rosenshine and Meister had indicated that prompts were able to direct students to pay theirattention to important aspects of the

It will take a hands-on commitment from allinvolved in the US innovation enterprise to build world-class talent from the bottom up.” Page 13.572.3As if anticipating a need for such a “bottom up” commitment, in 2004, the Office of

Middle school TE courses typically introduce students to awide range to technologies, under course titles such as “Introduction to Technology,”“Inventions and Innovations,” or “Technological Systems.” Many of the “general laboratories”popular in the 20th century

research scientists. For the most part, these are going to be the “grunts.”From this point of view, the traditional ways of educating engineers are impossible because thestudents differ so from the past. For example, another, more senior Friendly professor mentionedthat incoming freshmen did not know how to solve equations. Thus, a lack of innovation in one’steaching was not seen as the fundamental source of a lower quality "product." However, viewingthe graduates of his program as doing only low-level engineering work allowed the exitingprofessor to avoid the ethical challenge of passing incompetent engineers forward to graduation. Faculty varied in their beliefs about the fairness and the practicality of adding curricularand

Undergraduates are encouraged to anticipateaddressing the entire life cycle of production, actively collaborating with other stakeholders indesign, a strategy Ullman8 suggests improves upon the traditional but inefficient “over-the-[cubicle]-wall method” of the past (p.10), in which engineers performed one leg of a relay.

Certainly, the Instructor quickly points out that this need can besolved, not with a human subject (as proposed by Ms. Foster) but rather a suitably designedmachine or system. Thus was born a perfect Capstone Project for the Instructor to tackle forthe two-semester term.

Despite its rapidgrowth and increasing integration across topics and industries, data science is not oftenincorporated directly into engineering curricula. Understanding when and how to utilize datascience methodologies can provide non-computing engineers with a competitive edgeprofessionally, offering valuable insights, improving decision-making, and driving innovation intheir respective domains. Given the benefits of learning and employing data science, we exploredthe views of non-computing engineers and how they may influence their attitudes and practices.We defined non-computing engineers as individuals focused on an engineering field who are notpursuing

INTRODUCTIONOver the past few decades, researchers and policymakers have outlined the critical need to broadenparticipation in engineering in order to meet the growing demand for engineering graduates in theengineering workforce [1], [2], [3]. Diversifying the engineering workforce is essential forfostering equity, innovation, and competition in the global market [4]. The National Academy ofEngineering (NAE) has recently emphasized the urgent need to increase the participation ofunderrepresented groups, particularly women and racially minoritized individuals [5]. In highereducation, vertical

differences in educational opportunities for women and men [15]. For example, despitehigh levels of urbanization and wealth from oil resources, countries like Saudi Arabia and Omanstill show significant gender disparities in educational achievement and labor force participationin engineering fields. Unfortunately, in these regions, the trend for women entering engineeringfields is always associated with many challenges and is often perceived as a cultural and socialproblem. Buse [16] emphasizes that the underrepresentation of women in engineering is not onlya complex issue but also one that requires novel insights and innovative methodologies to addressit effectively. The gender gap in engineering in these areas depends on many factors, the

Similarly, an engineering student highlighted the gaps in their curriculum and how thiscourse addressed them, stating, "In my experience, engineering curricula have not exposed me toways to develop and fine-tune visual thinking skills. This course showed me how visual thinkingcan enhance communication, drawing ability, and conceptual strategies for innovation."The course fostered self-awareness and the practical use of memory. One student reflected, "I'vebecome more aware of my thinking and started applying class concepts to solve everydayproblems like using

We intend for the detailed accounts of our jointwork processes and routines to support other research teams in adapting such work processes totheir own contexts.II. Study ContextII.A.

As a result of his curiosity regarding the use of computers, he developed a strong desire to enter the engineering field, which supersedes the goal of just finding a steady job. He holds an MSc. in Computer Engineering and is very passionate about Engineering Education and its application in developing countries. Over the years, he had led several student-centered projects and programs that promote STEM Education and Innovation.

teachingpractice in undergraduate computing classes has been the traditional lecture-based approach, ateacher-centered pedagogy. The utilization of this style is for a multitude of reasons, includingtime constraints caused by professors’ research and service responsibilities, along with theperceived irrelevance of these teaching innovations to their own context. Additionally, universityfaculty have been slow to adopt student-centered practices, especially if they perceive them asunbeneficial to themselves and their students [6]. Unfortunately, research has demonstrated thatthis “sage on the stage” approach provides fewer opportunities for students to engage with thematerial and little room to integrate their own ideas and prior experiences [7].In

Some of them concerned new information about physical environment or new mathematical concepts and techniques, some contained new religious or philosophical ideas, still others considered what a ‘good society’ should be like. If there were deemed sufficiently attractive (meaning that they represented an improvement in some environments), they were “fit” in an evolutionary sense and spread through persuasion in a choice-based cultural evolution among individuals” p.44 [11].Mokyr’s assertion indicates that the availability of knowledge and
