Hanes, New Engalnd Board of Higher Education Fenna Hanes is Senior Director for Professional and Resource Development at the New England Board of Higher Education (NEBHE). Since 1995, Hanes has directed six science/technology curriculum and professional development projects funded by the Advanced Technological Education (ATE) program of the National Science Foundation (NSF). Currently, Hanes is the Principal Investigator for the NSF/ATE- funded project STEM PBL (problem-based learning). The project is meeting the need for STEM instruc- tional materials and has developed a series of problem-based multimedia challenges (case studies) for use in college and high school classrooms.

A mixed-methods approach to research wasapplied to gather comprehensive and valid information about students’ SRL strategies. Theobjectives of this preliminary study were to investigate high school students' design activitiesthat reflect their understanding of task demand and SRL strategies to accomplish the design taskfrom the perspective of design performance (i.e., high- and low- performing students) andgender. A better understanding of these issues will specifically benefit technology and pre-engineering educators as well as the high school curriculum developer.Students at a high school in Colorado participated in this preliminary study (n = 29); 22

is thatmost structural engineers and engineering students do not have formal training in coding or softwaredevelopment. Therefore, there does not appear to be a clear path on how AI can be quickly adoptedfor the general use of a structural engineer or engineering student. For this reason, we seek todiscover if the use of AI Chatbots could potentially be used as a gateway for the use of AI instructural engineering.An AI Chatbot is a computer program that simulates human conversation with an end user [3].Although not all Chatbots use AI, this paper will consider Chatbots that are equipped withconversational AI techniques that allow them to understand the user’s questions and automateresponses to them.

instill in students the ability to recognize and act uponethical responsibilities in diverse global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts [1].Existing literature on engineering ethics education reveals a multi-faceted approach, rangingfrom traditional classroom-based instruction to innovative experiential learning methods [6].Common methods for integrating ethics into the curriculum include exposing students to ethicalstandards, using case studies, and discussion activities [6]. Central to these discussions is theevaluation of ethical reasoning, wherein tools like the Engineering Ethics Reasoning Instrument(EERI) play a pivotal role [7]. The EERI, an assessment tool developed to measure engineeringstudents' ethical reasoning, includes

Page 22.207.2 Observed coursesThe first course we observed was Introduction to Engineering Design (EI-100), which is a first-semester 3 credit required course for almost every engineering program of UDLAP since springof 2001. UDLAP’s Chemical, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Environmental, Food, Industrial,Mechanical, and Mechatronic engineering students have in EI-100 a great opportunity for amultidisciplinary collaborative experience. EI-100 is a team-taught course that uses active,collaborative and cooperative learning. Course content and classroom activities are divided intothree, two-hour sections (Modeling, Concepts, and Laboratory) per week. Students have sixdifferent EI-100 facilitators (an instructor and teaching assistant for each

But that‟s not really how my teammates were thinking.”Interestingly, this attitude was expressed despite that, unlike most of the “product-oriented” Page 15.447.13ROXIE projects, this team implemented their proposed solution to the design problem. Whenasked about the desire to construct a prototype of their design solution, the student responded, “We did build our [solution], but it‟s not like a physical thing, it‟s more of a computer survey. So in that aspect we did build it, however, I think my team would‟ve worked a lot better if they had had something to get together to build aside from a paper

Tasks must be identified and the individual responsible for finishing each taskis assigned.A series of two courses were introduced into the Mechanical Engineering curriculum at theUniversity of Memphis beginning with the Fall 1998 semester. Among other things, these coursesserve as an introduction to Mechanical Engineering and will hopefully aid our retention efforts.One of the ideas tried in Fall 2001 and carried through to Fall 2004 was to get the freshmeninvolved with the seniors. Seniors can provide valuable insights to the freshmen and provide themwith a perspective about the University that faculty cannot provide. The seemingly ideal way to dothis was to have the senior

Briefly, we identifiedcolleagues and other contacts across the US who we believed were positioned to connect withpotential participants (TGNC undergraduate engineering or computer science students), to briefthem on the study opportunity, and to pass along our study team’s contact information.

This relative lack of intercultural competencyamong STEM majors is mirrored broadly across U.S. universities, and there is a need for moreexperiences that embed multicultural
submit a projectreport. One of these manufacturing processes is a CNC turning process. The turning project ofthis course has historically had extensive average time for completion. As such, it was deemednecessary that a way to improve the quality of a turning project be generated. Industrial QualityControl (IENG 316) is also taught as part of the industrial engineering curriculum, and it wasdetermined that the quality tools in this course should be used to evaluate the initial performanceof the turning project. An executive activities sheet has been developed for this IENG 303turning project to collect data about the time required to finish this project and to check if thatwas meeting the expectation or not.

A third principle is that instructors should promote and Page 22.451.3facilitate student reflection so they become more metacognitive learners who can develop theirown expertise by defining learning goals and monitoring their own progress. By using theseprinciples in conjunction with easy implementation it can be possible to design and developinnovative, effective, research-based curriculum resources which are accessible to instructors andalso foster the development of their pedagogical content knowledge.A relevant research question here is, "How can the principles of research on how people

Other members of the class are then free to jump in andoffer the student help and advice. If the students fall off course with their discussion, theinstructor will offer some guidance and attempt to steer the discussion back on track. Other usesof the discussion group include posting of announcements and general discussion questions by theinstructor.The use of an on-line discussion group offers a relatively new avenue through which the learnercan take an active role in the learning process.
