company. Many companies have internal resources for reporting ethical concerns. This might be a compliance hotline, an ethics officer, or a supervisor higher in the chain of command. 4. It's important for Kaylee to keep a record of all communications and events related to this issue. This includes documenting the PM's request, her attempts to address it, and any communication with internal resources or others. 5. If the situation remains unresolved and falsification of billable hours continues, Kaylee may need to consider a difficult decision. This could involve escalating the issue to a higher authority or even seeking a new position within a more ethical company.Closing notes: While career advancement is
andmicroprocessor development is inevitable. However, there are issues and challenges in choosingwhich family of microcontrollers to select, such as Microchip PIC, Arduino ATMEL, ARM etc.for engineering education and training. The Texas Instruments (TI) ARM M4 microcontroller was selected because the NSF I-CorpL project results indicated that the academic community needed a new advanced microcontrollerplatform to meet industry technical training demands [1]. The TI ARM M4 based curriculum designand development project illustrates how the collaborative efforts between faculty at differentinstitutions can be beneficial in developing instructional materials that lead to effective teaching andimproved student learning. There are several other
point of this approach is that the courses are scalable allowing all liberal arts faculty of varied backgrounds and interest to teach in a manner that stays true to the required course syllabus. • Incorporating entrepreneurial ideas into a required humanities course, allowing a business and engineering context for liberal arts issues. • GS for a special topics seminar in Innovation Studies, allowing for a wide variety of non-technical issues to be joined to the innovation process. • Team teaching by General Studies and Mechanical Engineering faculty members of a course on “Toy Design,” allowing for mechanical engineering, material science, ethical, and other issues to be developed.Western New

Faculty should also find the levels of achievement (from Bloom’sTaxonomies [11][12]) a valuable tool when they introduce and explain new course content tostudents.If successful, civil engineering faculty will understand: their essential role in developing the next generation of civil engineers how the rapid pace of change affects civil engineering practice the importance of teaching students what they do not yet know when they graduate the importance of pairing their engineering curricula to the undergraduate engineering outcomes in

-19 has affected all aspects of life, including how we travel. As faculty membersresponsible for teaching infrastructure courses across four universities, the authors collaboratedon creating a teaching module addressing this critical issue. The module focuses on the impactsof COVID-19 on different transportation systems from various stakeholder perspectives. Themodule was implemented in two universities (n = 25): Southern Methodist University (SMU)and New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech, NMT) in fall 2020and will be implemented again at other schools in fall 2021. This paper presents the resultsobtained during the first implementation of the COVID-19 teaching module during the fallsemester of 2020 and addresses how

With active learning strategies becoming a preferred method of instruction, acollaboration of authors from four universities (University of Pittsburgh, University ofConnecticut, Rowan University and New Jersey Institute of Technology) are investigating howgame-based or playful learning with strongly situated components can influence first-yearengineering students’ ethical knowledge, awareness, and decision making.This paper offers an overview and results of the progress to date of this three year, NSF ImprovingUndergraduate STEM Education (IUSE) grant that aims to (1) characterize the ethical awarenessand decision making

With the support from the National Science Foundation (NSF) ImprovingUndergraduate STEM Education (IUSE) program, a collaboration of investigators from theUniversity of Connecticut, New Jersey Institute of Technology, University of Pittsburgh, andRowan University are conducting a mixed-methods project investigating how game-based orplayful learning with strongly situated components can influence first-year engineering students’ethical knowledge, awareness, and decision making.

Despite the resilience of engineering educators andthe enthusiasm for demonstrating technical proficiency in online teaching, especially if it mighthelp our most vulnerable students, there also seemed to be a deep reluctance to allow educationaltechnologies displace our sensibilities of radical humanism, and further alienate relationshipsbetween students and educators.About a month before the ASEE virtual conference, a famous author and critic of corporationsand capitalism, Naomi Klein, published an article in the Intercept titled, “Screen New Deal.” Inthe article, she analyzes the dystopian High-Tech vision that emerged during the

While this paperfocuses on how the framework can be used, a companion paper provides the details of theframework and its development [17]. The use of this framework will aid in eliminating barriers,real or perceived, that faculty may have concerning their lack of expertise or discomfort withoverarching topics of social justice related to infrastructure. In addition, several complete lessonoutlines are being developed and will also be made available for use by anyone interestedthrough the CIT-E website. The outline of the framework includes:Step 1.

. Social isolation and lack of belonging in the new institution have been identi-fied as important factors that hinder the development of a social support system that helps studentswith their academic journey [8, 12, 9, 13, 14, 15]. Additionally, academic preparedness [12, 13]plays a key role in student success.To address some of the above-mentioned issues, student advising is crucial. Advising plays a piv-otal role in shaping a student’s academic journey, from navigating the transfer process at commu-nity college to choosing a major at a four-year university [16, 17]. Students expect clear, accurate,and timely information while advisors work tremendously hard to meet student’s expectations.However, with the traditional advising methods, it is
scores for each individual was used to investigate how interventionsaffect aspects of quality. Unlike the problem context study, the intervention studies used pairedWelch’s t-tests with respect to each quality score. In addition to quality, the quantity of ideaswas also examined.For all studies, participants attempted a different problem context in the second ideation session.Changing problem context could have been a confounding factor in the intervention studies;however, the alternative, such as attempting the same problem context twice, was deemed aworse case. To handle the issue of changing context, two contexts similar in complexity wereused for each intervention study.A key concern in this research was producing statistically significant

engineering students conceptualize ethical decision making and reasoning when they begincollege. Faculty often utilize the strategy of assessing prior knowledge of their students toinfluence their course structure, assignments, or even their teaching style. This allows instructorsto better gauge what topics need to be (re)taught, what skills need to be further developed, andhow to tailor instruction around students’ current understanding of topic areas. There are manyways to assess students’ prior knowledge in areas such as engineering ethics. Some commonassessment tools for engineering ethics are student self-reporting, the Defining Issues Test 2 (DIT-2), Engineering Ethical Reasoning Instrument (EERI), Moral Foundations Questionnaire (MFQ),and the
an astonishingly high rate of 94.8% in termsof accessibility violations [14]; most outstanding accessibility issues included “lack of elementfocus, missing element description, low text color contrast, lack of sufficient spacing betweenelements, and less than minimum sizes of text fonts and elements.” Ballantyne et al. identifiedmore violations of accessibility guidelines at the design and content levels than at the system level[21].The inaccessible mobile app infrastructure rose from many factors. Developers tended to ignoreaccessibility when developing mobile apps due to “the lack of developers’ awareness ofaccessibility concerns and the lack of tools to support them during the development” [22].
