Instruction: The View from Both SidesAbstractThe ABET 2000 Criterion 3f states that engineering programs must educate students with “an understanding ofprofessional and ethical responsibility.” In addition, the Fundamentals of Engineering and Professional Engineeringexaminations also address the need for ethics instruction. As such, undergraduate engineering curricula mustaddress ethics instruction within a designated course and/or across engineering coursework.Traditionally, engineering ethics instruction has been conducted in a formal classroom setting. However, onlineinstruction has gained rapidly in acceptance in many disciplines. Engineering programs are catching up with someprograms offering all or part of their
industrial standard for CNC verification, and used to checkcorrectness of programs before they are executed in the laboratory. It is reported that programmingfor the labs requiring verification is both manually written and posted from a CAM application.Georgeou et al. [4] make a case for the role that a CNC machining class can play in improving amechanical engineering technologists design for manufacturability knowledge. They describe acurriculum where majors take a basic manufacturing processes class followed by a more advancedclass where they learn the basics of CNC programming. Additional more advanced CNC electivesare also available to take. They describe a laboratory, the Haas Technical Center which has severalHaas mills and lathes that are

engineering courses could provide an authentic laboratory experience that helpsimprove students’ conceptual understanding of engineering mechanics concepts. Moreover,physical manipulatives are easy to implement, easy to duplicate and distribute,13 and can beextended to include different engineering subjects.Other studies have investigated the use of physical manipulatives in a variety of STEM areas. Theuse of hands-on (physical) manipulatives has helped engineering students in modeling andengineering problem solving.7 For instance, Coller indicated that the manipulatives helpedstudents increase their understanding of engineering concepts when they used manipulatives andwere able to see and feel reactions created by the manipulative.7 Another study
practice rather than on equipment and facilities. Forpeople from the physical sciences and engineering conditioned to research being located intraditional laboratories, there is not much to see at the Centre. Much of the research and otherwork of the Centre (and its precursors) is conducted in the field, in situ in real workplaces. This isnothing new for our colleagues from the social sciences. However, working in a strong physicalsciences culture, this lack of tangible experimental artifacts makes the task of communicatingwhat we do very difficult. Taken together with the use of qualitative modes of inquiry from thesocial sciences, this makes our work both confronting and superficially easy to dismiss, as it doesnot fit the prevailing
appearance.Design ReportA design narrative formed the basis of the project’s design report. The groups described howthey used the engineering design process to develop their prototypes. The project statementlisted certain elements of the design process that were required to be included in the report, butallowed the students to decide which elements should be in the body of the report versus anappendix. The groups typically did well on the design report, but it was obvious that thereshould have been more discussion about what is meant by a “design narrative” prior to theassignment. The term came from the author’s industry experience in structural engineeringdesign and, in that context, refers to a prose document, which is submitted to the owner of aproject

Thursday: Stories and Strategies from Successful Women Scientists[1],tells the inspiring story of a group of women scientists who designed a bi-monthly professionaland social gathering to aid each other in navigating through the pressures and complexities oftheir competitive scientific and professional careers. Since the group began in the 1970s, theseven founders were among the first and/or only females in their departments or organizations.The goal of the group was to connect women with shared experiences and concerns, who mightotherwise feel isolated at their jobs, and to develop a community of primarily professional, butalso social support. The power and longevity behind the group came from the organized agendaand established rules for how the
ranges from oneto 24 years.Course design followed the approach outlined in “Building a Pathway for Student Learning: AHow-To Guide to Course Design.” The pathway uses well-documented principles to shift froman instruction centered paradigm to a learner centered paradigm by starting at the endpoint andworking backwards [15]. The process was mostly linear and progressed along the following path;(1) developers identified student learning factors, (2) developed clear learning goals, (3) definedthe summative assessment, (4) identified and grouped learning proficiencies, (5) constructedlearning experiences, and (6) developed the overall assessment. The course is currently indevelopment. Steps (1)-(4) have been completed at the time of submittal and
