Courses receiving a Tech course designation should address the first of the learningoutcomes listed below plus a majority of the remaining three learning outcomes. 1. Student work should demonstrate an understanding of the role of engineering in developing technological responses to human needs and desires. 2.

Student work should demonstrate analysis of each task based on a clear, logical thought

I can definitely see, and agree, that it could cause expectationsto be reconsidered though.The review process allowed me to step back and look at a broader overview of my expectationsfor student work and the expectation of what is passing. From the industrial side, I quicklyrealized how little partial credit is given in the real world but also understand I have colleaguesthat assist in my work. The key in paring with a member from academia was his ability to meetmy perception in the middle and find a fair compromise for what should be expected fromstudent performance.There were definite differences in expectation between

WorkAdventureprovides us with a customizable environment with the necessary features for supporting onlinestudents in interacting with one another. The platform also contains the necessary tools forcollecting data about participant engagement such as how often and with whom students interacton the platform.Beyond the online environment provided by WorkAdventure, we plan to augment a physicallearning environment on campus used by ECE students. Our initial ideas about this augmentationinclude the incorporation of technologies such as collaborative whiteboards or tablets in thelearning space. These devices will serve

sought funding through Congress for projects. After approval,the project engineers’ only responsibility was to see the project through to completion; noinput from the community was needed and social effects of the project did not need to beconsidered to make decisions 4. Under this method of decision making, a large publicworks program came into being and the United States designed and built some of themost spectacular dams, bridges, and highways the world had ever seen. The scope ofthese projects was often very large and sometimes required the aggressive arguing forfunds from government agencies. Once the project was approved; however, the generalpublic had no say in how project planning and design took place. With the passage ofNEPA in 1970

Allowing students to learn through their own mistakes can be a very effective strategyto develop their design skills.The use of simple physical models in classrooms is often encouraged by engineering educators.A physical model can be a prototype of any level of complexity built to demonstrate,communicate or test designers’ ideas. They can range from very simple to highly complicatedprototypes and from completely non-functional to fully functional prototypes3. Regular use ofphysical models is widely advocated by industry4 and government agencies, whereas someresearchers argue that they can cause design fixation5, 6. Design fixation refers to the

These suggestions emphasize the need forflexibility, evidence-based teaching methods, and fostering an inclusive learning environment.Community college engineering programs provide a vital pathway into the field, broadeningaccess for a more diverse population of students. However, ensuring these students feel a strongsense of belonging and receive adequate support throughout their educational journey is crucial.Hands-on activities play a key role in this effort, as they not only enhance conceptualunderstanding but also help students connect theoretical knowledge to real-world applications,fostering deeper engagement. Current research on community college engineering and STEMexplores various
techniques butstruggle with more complex strategies, suggesting the need for structured prompt engineeringinstruction in computer science curricula to maximize the potential of generative AI tools.1 IntroductionGenerative AI is transforming software engineering and problem-solving. Despite growinginterest in this technology, there is limited research on the extent to which students efficientlyuse these tools in real-world scenarios. This study addresses that gap by analyzing studentinteractions with LLMs during a competitive programming competition held across multiplecollege campuses. It evaluates adherence to prompt engineering best practices, includingclarity of instructions, chain-of-thought prompting, and iterative feedback, and examines
femalestudents choosing predominantly selecting “neither agree nor disagree”. However, if positiveresponses “strongly agree” and “somewhat agree” are combined, it can be seen that the sameproportion of male and female students have positive responses. The shift in responses couldsuggest that SIs are not necessarily encouraging male or female students to learn more aboutengineering, rather they are just focused on the details of the specific course content withoutrelating it to practical applications. This might be difficult for SIs to implement considering theyare also students with limited real-world engineering experience.Figure 5: Results for Q8: “My Supplemental Instructor (SI) made me want to learn more aboutEngineering” across GenderA similar

In the spirit ofthis arrangement, instructors can consider whether they allow more choices during assessmentsbeyond a superficial layer. If ultimately you hope to gauge students’ ability to design anengineering project, can this project not only address different real-world needs, but also beexpressed in different forms? Can certain students opt to demonstrate their understanding ofconcepts through exams while others do so through repeated problem sets or reflections?4.2.
