theorists and students. It is necessary an analytical lookover the action before, during and after it (considering the perspective of what it can be).Observing the difficulties that the future Engineer will face it is interesting to make him to lookinside himself and view the process in which he is inserted. So he will be able to resist thepressures of fashions. He will learn how to consider and to act in each moment in according tohis own singularities.In this case the globalization does not mean to grind neither homogenizing but to approach thecontact with the differences so that new diversities can emerge to attend the necessities andsingularities of the person.III. Considerations about the ProjectThe purpose of the Project we have developed is
individual’s race,sexual orientation, or socioeconomic condition. Taking an intersectional approach is especially vital forfeminist educational research, as too often such interventions solely emphasize the experiences ofprivileged white women. For example, Kimberly A. Scott and Patricia Garcia (2016) found that women ofcolor were often left out of feminist research on equity in STEM. Jones, Moore, and Walton (2016) argueit is vital to center perspectives of marginalized technical communicators in order to reshape thediscipline and industry of technical and professional communication. Following their call, our researchstarts with the lived experiences of minoritized and marginalized educators and students working totransform engineering education
from highschool to community college to university. Participating companies play an important rolein defining competency gaps, developing case studies, placing students in internships, anddeveloping state of the art laboratories. Competency gaps serve as a driver to curriculumdevelopment. One objective of the program has been to enhance diversity and encourageunderrepresented minorities to pursue careers in engineering by presenting them with aseamless pathway early on in their education process. The paper will also provide answersto such questions as: How to develop a stable pipeline of students? What is the role ofindustry in program development? What are the significant achievements of the 2+2+2program after three years of implementation
by applying the theory of humancapital given the costs reported by the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS)and college-specific salary profiles derived from the world’s largest database of self-reportedincomes (that contains ~8% of the salary data for all U.S. engineers). Results indicate that themedian bachelor degreed US engineer will earn $4.2MM over the span of a forty year career,which corresponds to a net present value of $1.8MM assuming an annual cost of capital equal to4.1%. The national average internal rate of return for engineering education is 5.85% givenaverage lost wages and total cost attendance of $36,360 per year across the top 150 USengineering colleges; this internal rate of return increases to 6.5% if

While this may be perceivedas an advantage, the heavy reliance on procedural knowledge resulted in oversight. Theextensive familiarity with the topic that Expert 1 possessed actually handicapped his approach,not allowing for innovative thought or the transfer of knowledge and strategy [11]. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 2016 ASEE Southeast Section Conference Figure 1.

engineers with chemical engineers. TheAE curricula in the developing countries put very little emphasis on the areas like bioprocessengineering or biomedical engineering that gives the Agricultural and Biological Engineeringgraduates an edge over other engineering graduates. Also, many of the industries in developingcountries are still unaware of the capabilities of agricultural and biological (systems) engineers Page 10.139.5and this further aggravates the situation. 6To provide a deeper insight into the way in which the education system featuring

Technology education should abandon the thought of infusing any form of engineering concepts into the curriculum.Clearly there are varying perspectives regarding infusing engineering concepts or not intotechnology education. The authors of this manuscript subscribe to the second camp of thought(i.e., to infuse engineering-related concepts into an existing technology education curriculum andcourses). Therefore, the purposes of this manuscript are to: (a) present initial findings regardingwhat engineering concepts should be incorporated into technology education; (b) explain howinfusing engineering concepts into technology has occurred through the initial professionaldevelopment work of a

++ provides deeperinsight into memory management, object-oriented programming, and low-level systemoperations—skills crucial for engineering disciplines. Additionally, many industry-standard tools,such as finite element analysis (FEA) software and embedded systems, are built using C++,making it an essential language for engineering problem-solving in real-world applications. Thiscourse is designed to equip students with computational thinking skills that are directly applicableto practical engineering challenges.Enhancing Global Context in Engineering EducationTo showcase the adaptability of this C++ course across diverse educational settings, we examinedits implementation in various international contexts. In Germany, C++ is a core component

The discussed tools and techniques enable thefaculty to achieve goals that are unattainable through utilizing traditional teaching approaches.Included in this presentation will be several examples of course related material produced forteaching engineering topics and concepts. These examples clearly establish the great power,valuable utilities, and important advantages of these tools in teaching. Among presented examplesare a few sample course modules selected from recent publications and presentations of the author inseveral national educational conferences, as well as, in an international colloquium.

The AeA was responding to an internal report generatedby a task force from its state Council which advised that “state colleges and universities mustincrease capacity and improve access for would-be students” and that “the legislature shouldfocus on funding new capacity in higher education.” The only State university on the west sideof the state offering an EE degree received state funding to increase capacity by 20%, but theneed for more qualified graduating engineers remained unmet. The AeA had identified NSCC asa well suited community college partner for EWU, as its laboratories had been recentlyrenovated to include state-of-the-art equipment for the pre-engineering and other technology-related programs.

LESSONS LEARNED AND FUTURE DIRECTIONSIn this paper, we have explored issues in adapting a research-based assessment technique toclassroom practice. Using software we developed to address the challenges of the classroomenvironment, we were able to explore the validity and the feasibility of the use of StructuralAssessment to support engineering design education. Without any changes, we feel that theStructural Assessment process, conducted with tools like the ones we have built, offersinstructors an additional tool for their assessment toolbox. At the same time, some suggestionsfor enhancing our software and proposed process to even more fluidly support the StructuralAssessment process

Education, 2023 Workshop on Global Engineering Design for Low-Resource SettingsBackgroundGlobal engineering is becoming more prevalent as technology increases communication andcollaboration worldwide [1]. To keep up with the ever-evolving society, global engineers mustwork on cross-cutting issues and bring a diverse mindset to work nimbly across differentenvironments with changing resources [1,2]. This adaptability requires being comfortable withdesign skills and being open to new ideas and international relations [3]. The design process iscrucial for students to experience and understand how to meet a population’s needs and iteratethrough feasible and culturally appropriate solutions.Undergraduate engineering curricula have significantly
