The engineering students whoenroll at these universities expect to be educated and trained with the latest industry-approvedtools in order to function effectively in the engineering industry. In recent years, artificialintelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and the internet-of-things (IoT) have been able toreduce or eliminate human interaction while yet processing large amounts of data.

A student peer assessment of the project is used and feedback isgiven to each student. The design project reinforces skills taught in the classroom and labs andmotivates the students to pursue engineering as a career.OverviewThe Introduction to Engineering course offered at Baylor University is intended to provide anoverview of the profession of engineering, the engineering educational experience, and theengineering program at Baylor University. It also provides students with some skills and toolsneeded as they progress through the program. The course seeks to accomplish these purposesthrough discussions, demonstrations
engineersdue to the growth of advanced and sophisticated technologies18, 19, with this growth the need toimplement a different way of teaching in order to avoid the lack of required skills in futureengineers is increasing. There are different gaps between manufacturing processes and the skillsof the new engineering graduates; some of these gaps include design, quality and the way ofinteracting with manufacturing equipment and processes20, 21. In order to close the identified gap,a change in the engineering curriculum has to be made; implementing more hands-onmanufacturing will be a good solution in order to improve the technical, communication,information search, and team-based skills.An improvement in education has to be seen as it has been shown in

At the end of the winter term, each team delivers to its client a comprehensivewritten report and oral presentation.Upon completion of the projects, the response of the students is generally enthusiastic! This isclearly a different learning environment for students, as they are expected to be much moreresponsible for many aspects of their education and learning. Although some students havedifficulty adapting to this environment, by the end of the program the vast majority of studentssuccessfully make the shift from a teacher-centered learning environment to a student-centeredlearning environment.

FormatVALUE Project BackgroundThe Association of American Colleges and Universities started the VALUE (Valid Assessmentof Learning in Undergraduate Education) project in 20072. This program was created in order tobetter show educational benefits, quality of learning, and retention and graduation rates. Sincethere are no standardized tests for the Essential Learning Outcomes (ELOs), there was a need todevelop a way to document and assess student learning in undergraduate education.The VALUE project was driven by an advisory board made up of 12 people, national andinternational leaders. The main goal was to generate a way to evaluate student learning that wasbased on the work students produced through the curriculum across a set of Essential
Peripheral Jigsaw Activities to Engage Students’ Entrepreneurial Mindsets Stephanie G. Wettstein Chemical and Biological Engineering, Montana State University, Bozeman, MT, USAAbstractThroughout a student’s undergraduate career, oftentimes the only engagement they have withengineering professionals is during internships and their senior-level design course. However,research indicates that students value these interactions for their engineering development.Through Kern Entrepreneurial Education Network (KEEN) Fellowship funding, four chemicalengineering alumni created jigsaw activities that were presented in a junior-level
processes. In this way, a product’s final design and its associated safetycharacteristics may be guided to a desired end point, rather than simply reviewed once time runsout.In traditional engineering-design textbooks, the attribute of safety is rightfully recognized as anecessary characteristic of any product or system. However, authors generally say little morethan what amounts to “make safe products” or “be careful not to make defective products.” Theauthors do not wish to reference a few specific instances of engineering-design textbooks doingthis since doing so may make the arbitrarily selected authors appear culpable for a much-largerproblem in engineering-education literature. This problem is the dearth of knowledge of andunderstanding of

Accordingly, it is reasonable to assume that if we approach these processes with a qualitative approach, which concentrates on the details that constitute them, we may deepen our understanding of
