Serving as a teaching assistant, where I led a lab twice a week,became a pivotal experience. It allowed me to engage directly with U.S. students, offering insightsinto their values and mindset, and gradually integrating me into the academic culture. However,my effort to blend into this new environment was often marred by self-censorship and a reluctanceto express disagreement, a behavior influenced by cultural norms from both my Iranianbackground and my advisor's South Korean culture. This dynamic highlighted the complexities ofcross-cultural academic relationships and their impact on personal and professional

Oxford defines art as “the expression or application of humancreative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producingworks to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power [1].” One might simplifyand suggest that art is a process led by the human mind that

In particular, validity studies have addressed the valueof the assessments to users (instructors and students) from varied engineering disciplines whilereliability studies have focused specifically on the level of inter-rater agreement (IRA) of scoringbetween multiple and diverse raters.

These theoriesdo not address the relationship between load and displacement. Separate analytical methods areused for the purpose of estimating soil displacements, such as settlement. This framework, whichdecouples consideration of failure load and deformation, is typically applied to the teaching ofgeotechnical engineering at the undergraduate level. As a result, it is difficult for students torealize that failure load analyses and deformation analyses are

EntrepreneurshipEntrepreneurial ethics should claim its place in the curriculum for several reasons: • Entrepreneurs may face ethical challenges different from those of non-entrepreneurs • Entrepreneurial studies has been a fast growing field seeking to distinguish itself from other fields • Entrepreneurs may well have much impact on future U.S. and global economic stabilityEntrepreneurs’ Ethical Concerns May Differ from Non-Entrepreneurs’While most may agree that teaching ethics to entrepreneurship students is important, the nextquestion is why wouldn't engineering or business ethics suffice. The answer is thatentrepreneurship has some features that are unique and entrepreneurs' ethical concerns are notidentical to those of engineers and

In the flipped format, stu-dents typically watch videos of course material and study assigned readings or notes outside theclass and supposedly attend the class for group problem solving, engage in critical discussions,and interact with the instructor. On the other hand, in an online class, usually there is no face toface interaction with the instructor, and all learning takes place outside the “classroom”, which hasno physical space. In the OL format, students watch videos, study notes and text, do homework,take quizzes and exams all at their own time and pace, albeit with some

Therefore, recent graduates might feel ill-equipped to negotiate thedifferences between their personal and organizational values if they even have the option.By making issues of values more visible for both engineers and organizations, we can more fullyunderstand the different challenges faced by emerging engineering professionals as theytransition from students to professionals in practice. This can, in turn, give researchers andeducators a language with which to describe relevant values and therefore offer strategies fornavigating these “values gaps.” One potential result of this focus is engineers who are morefulfilled and engaged with their
