Based onobservations gained through this study, recommendations were proposed for an educationaleffort in STEM education.Attributes of an Engineer: A StudyA study, recently commissioned by the National Academy of Engineering (NAE), identified thedesired attributes of the Engineer of 20202. These traits are: • Possesses strong analytical skills • Exhibits practical ingenuity; possesses creativity • Good communication skills with multiple stakeholders • Business and management skills; Leadership abilities • High ethical standards and a strong sense of professionalism
information from this assignment revealed student attitudes aboutcivil engineering. The course included additional assignments on sustainability (2009 only),ethics, a team West Point Bridge Designer project, a curriculum plan to graduation at CU with aB.S. in CVEN, a paper on a significant event or structure related to civil engineering (such as theThree Gorges Dam, the flooding in New Orleans from hurricane Katrina, etc.), and a shortsummary of a professional society meeting that they attended (such as ASCE or AGC). In thefinal assignment of the semester the students wrote a reflective essay that instructed them to statewhether or not they planned to remain a civil engineering major and why/why not. The studentswere also instructed to comment on

[26] Similarly, for CSt ingraduate school, there was not a significant difference in motivation, satisfaction, or stress basedon gender.

First, their presence encourages a caregiving ethic in schools. [28] This ethic may berelated to how the experience of caregiving impacts their priorities and goals: one study showedthat educational aspirations changed after becoming a parent as students (in this case, Latinamothers) preferred work that allowed them to help
attributes for global engineers based on Washington AccordGenerally speaking, PBL programs are also effective for acquiring Washington Accord 11 GraduateAttribute Profile (WA11GAP), which are essential requirements for future global engineers [8]. (1) Engineering Knowledge (2) Problem Analysis (3) Design/development of solutions (4) Investigation (5) Tool Usage (6) The Engineer and the World (7) Ethics (8) Individual and Collaborative Team work (9) Communication (10) Project Management and Finance (11) Lifelong learningThese 11 items comprise a comprehensive set of knowledge, skillsets, and mindsets. Because of the designflexibility, it is sufficient to incorporate these items into PBL course contents. In the case of this techno-socio PBL, this

In most of these topics, equity incomputing is still forming and not widely seen as an integral part of the discipline.N. Washington [31] discusses the glaring omission of non-technical issues from the CScurriculum that would allow CS students, and future professionals, to understand, analyze, andoffer solutions about the inequity and lack of representation that exists in computing. Dr.Washington argues that there is a need for all CS students to have a level of cultural competenceso that students can begin to understand, critically analyze and look for solutions that willimprove equity in our field.

Developing thesecompetencies provides and supports effective communication which is crucial for globalcollaboration. Engineers need to be adept at expressing complex technical concepts in a way thatis understandable across different cultures and backgrounds.Global competencies provide a scaffold to work in diverse teams, bringing together individualswith different skills, backgrounds, and cultural perspectives to address global challenges.Providing educational learning opportunities in social responsibility through ethical decision-making is important as it aligns with ethical

. As a team we planned a three day game design workshop for middle school students that: ● fosters interest in computer science careers by exposing students to basic programming concepts; ● encourages the development of ethical decision-making capacities by designing games that address contemporary challenges in adolescents’ lives; and ● harnesses the motivational affordances of games to encourage students to engage in interest driven learning.Game Jam workshops are potentially well suited to achieving the goals we note above because of their open-ended nature [3]. Game jams build on the affordances of games, offering youth a playful and agenticperspective on design and problem solving, while exposing them to basic

However, environmental engineering students often graduate with limited knowledge andinsights about the pathways that lead from scientific knowledge to policy, and the role of otheractors (constituents, industry, media, administrators), who can help or derail an effort to createpolicy consistent with the best scientific knowledge [4], [5], [6]. Gaps have also been identifiedregarding care-ethical responsibility of engineers toward the protection of human subjects,societal values and the environment [7].Regarding interaction with other actors, a gap exists in the area of communication with non-engineers and non-scientists.

modeling, and data analytics models. We adopt the format of a curricularmodule, as it has been common in computing pedagogy as self-contained units of instructions tobe incorporated in a specific course 4,5 . The curricular module has two settings, Level I and LevelII, targeting the first and second CSP courses for non-computing majors, such as the CSPrinciples and DS Principles courses for non-majors. Both of these two levels incorporate theusage of the DSLP into the teaching and learning, assisting students to obtain hands on practice ofhandling, understanding, and analyzing real world data sets, as well as an awareness ofdata-related ethics and privacy.The first targeted course is equivalent to AP CSP and is offered to first year college

Inthis way, they acquire respect and develop a good social relationships with their coworkersthrough the working process.
