Marjorie Letitia Hubbard, PhD North Carolina School of Science and Math, Durham, NCAbstractEarly exposure to engineering coursework can increase the persistence of students, particularlywomen and minorities, in STEM fields in college and beyond. Secondary school instructorshave a golden opportunity to approach engineering curriculum design with a student-centeredperspective that fosters engagement since many curricular resources for high school studentsmust be uniquely tailored for students with different levels of exposure to engineering.This paper describes the development of a biomedical engineering curriculum for high schoolstudents that integrates design thinking using the framework of student-centered

This difference causes © American Society for Engineering Education, 2023the center of gravity to shift horizontally and vertically, leading to a horizontal shift “d” betweenthe center of gravity (CG, which is the same as the center of mass CM) and the point where thedoll touches the surface. This in turn generates a non-zero moment which is proportional to thedistance “d” by a factor of “k” that tends to move the doll back toward its upright position. Thenon-zero moment changes the actual angle of the doll until it reaches an equilibrium. At thispoint the error angle becomes zero. In this example there is

They can also play a role inassisting graduates in experience acquisition through career support services. The extent to whichinstitutions should include passage of the exams- the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) and Practice ofEngineering (PE)- as a graduation requirement or even emphasize test content in the curriculum is open todebate.2,3 Regardless of curricular emphasis on FE exam preparation, Civil Engineering programs aim toprepare students for eventual licensure and some have created FE review courses to assist towardcompletion

Currently, the concept ofsustainability is integrated into the Chemical Engineering curricula at TTU through theBioFoundry Initiative which is the integration of biomimicry components into the design processof two chemical engineering courses: CHE 3550 (Fluid Mechanics) and CHE 4661 (BiotransportPhenomena). In each of these, student-team-developed prototypes of innovative technologyaddressing societal challenges are a required outcome.

Course learning objectives are assessed in studios through traditional gradedwritten assignments and tests, and through face-to-face critique sessions in which studentsexplain the details of their in-progress assignments and projects verbally prior to submitting theirwritten work.During critiques, student explain their designs or thought rationale in verbal presentations whichoften include substantially completed written draft summaries of their work used to outline theirpresentation.

There wasstrength in their conviction that this was the right move and the department chair invested theirpersonal capital in having the department adopt it.The policy below was written up and entered into George Mason University’s catalog softwareto be implemented into the 20-21 catalog.

Jonathan Malesic details this in the New York Times guest essay “Mystudents are not ok,” in which he discusses dwindling student performance and the perpetuationof poor study habits generated during the online years2. Keshvarz points out that one of severalshortcomings of total online education includes the lack of discipline and inefficient time usage3,which compliments Malesic’s viewpoint on the development of bad habits. However, theinstructors in this department have noticed a deeper issue that became apparent through Covid-19 and post-Covid-19 instruction: a lack of quality control in terms of course consistency andstudent retention of knowledge.
