Thesedifferences include that the instructors must be consciously aware of additional job-relatedconstraints imposed on their students, that students tend to have a higher level of expectation withregard to content and delivery, and that additional time and effort must be invested by theinstructor in order to create an effective learning experience for remote students.I. IntroductionIn November 1997, the Illinois Board of Higher Education (IBHE) authorized Southern IllinoisUniversity Carbondale (SIUC) to establish a graduate program in Springfield, Illinois leading to aMaster of Science degree in Civil Engineering. The authorization came in response to anexpressed interest by a number of engineers employed at state agencies including the

the firstoffering of this sequence to fourteen students at Hope College from the 1996/97 academic year. IntroductionEngineering design challenges educators with the problem of incorporation of a diverse range ofexperiences into the engineering design course. Common elements considered essential to thecapstone design experience include: use of formal engineering design methods, experienceworking in teams, prototype construction, contact with industry, and development ofcommunication skills1. Recently, the ability to function on multidisciplinary teams has beenadded to the outcomes expected from an engineering education2. This growing list ofexpectations for engineering design experiences occurs

This presentconsiderable difficulty to many engineering students who choose engineering careers becausethey were “good in math and science”, but not in written and oral skills, or who were too “shy”to argue their point of view in front of others. Also, engineering in its international universalbackground was a “refuge” for new emigrants, or people with English as a second languagegiving them the opportunity to excel despite the hurdle of mastering a new language.The new engineering paradigm and industry requirement to “hit the ground running” placesspecial emphasis on engineering education to provide graduating engineers with the experienceand practice in

technology and of engineering and engineering education. I am now studying grassroots engineering (GE) and so- cial/solidarity technology (ST), as well as engineering education, focusing, on one hand, on the ethical- political, aesthetics, and epistemic aspects that both characterize and make GE and ST possible, and, on the other hand, on the challenges the engineering education must face in order to train/develop the capa- bilities or skills engineers must possess so to be able of doing GE and producing ST. The work I currently develop at ITA is related to the conception and institutionalization of a minor in engaged engineering. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020

Building onthe preparation conducted by the ENGR 102 students, a process for applying the surfacetreatment was developed.
