, theUnited States passed the Innovation and Competition Act, which increased funding forSTEM education. In other words, the development of engineering education is closely relatedto national expansion, industrial structure, and global political changes, and may become akey power field and colonial tool. Although Taiwan and South Korea play important roles inthe global high-tech industry chain and geopolitics, their comprehensive thinking onengineering education is far from enough. As STS scholars and engineering educators in EastAsia, we have a moral obligation to assume these responsibilities, and to examine thehistorical facts behind the impact of technology on geopolitics and society, in order to furtheranalyze and reflect on what engineering

For example, the Foundry is anchored inconstructivist, constructionist, and collaborative learning theories that emphasize student-centeredlearning strategies.8 These theories, for example, posit that students construct understandingthrough reflection and experiences, engage in deep learning through meaningful production oftangible artifacts, and expand their own reservoir of knowledge through interaction with others.These theories have helped to develop other student-centered learning strategies like project-basedlearning, active learning, and real-world immersion

The National Academy of Sciences has raised theconcern that the current educational model should better align existing engineering models withsuch emerging challenges, broadening the context through an increased number of thematic callsand engaging with a wider range of users. In addition, academic literature on Science,Technology, and Society has called for a move towards a heightened awareness of the contextand factors that influence engineering decision

Thus, ELT's implications for the course's design consisted of guiding learners throughrecursive processes of experiencing, reflecting, thinking, and acting to respond to the learningsituation. That is, "immediate or concrete experiences are the basis for observations andreflections. These reflections are assimilated and distilled into abstract concepts from which newimplications for action can be drawn. These implications can be actively tested and serve asguides in creating new experiences" [5]. Specifics of how ELT guided the course implementationare described in the section below.3.

been no exception in engineering ethicseducation. To evaluate the effectiveness of engineering ethics interventions, engineeringeducators have utilized various assessment strategies. Based on their review of the literature,Hess and Fore [2] identified that engineering educators have utilized both quantitative andqualitative strategies to evaluate the effectiveness of their educational interventions: Somecommon quantitative assessment strategies included collecting student perceptions of theeffectiveness of the educational interventions through course evaluation surveys. Some commonqualitative assessment strategies included collecting students’ course evaluations which havetheir reflections on learning gains.However, although there have been

Students alsoresponded to the reflection prompt “What was the most surprising or interesting part of thisactivity.” The responses were analyzed for common themes, which were the usefulness ofvisualizing memory in understanding the concepts of stack frames and buffer overflow, theprevalence of buffer overflow vulnerabilities in publicly available code, and how easy it is toexploit a buffer overflow vulnerability. Thus, this assignment shows promise in helping studentsto understand a difficult concept, and in emphasizing the importance of avoiding buffer overflowvulnerabilities.IntroductionSoftware vulnerabilities in commercial products
viewpoint that identityusually arises in the learning process within the interdisciplinary teaching system andperforms the bridging function in boundary crossing. In this study, we consider theinterdisciplinary teaching system as a tool for developing interdisciplinary identity. Morethan simply the sum of knowledge reflected through a curriculum design or class syllabi, theinterdisciplinary teaching system represents a comprehensive curriculum of study or trainingthat structures students’awareness of learning. By providing multiple interpretiveperspectives across disciplines and creating an experiential teaching environment for real andcomplex issues, situational interests in interdisciplinary learning can be stimulated andpromote the formation of
Inclusive Teaching: An Exploratory Approach to Evaluate Faculty PerceptionsAbstract:This study describes an exploratory approach to evaluate faculty perception of the peerobservation practice aimed to enhance inclusive teaching.The quality of teaching is a part of the evaluation criteria for Promotion, Tenure andReappointment (PTR) process for university faculty. The student-based evaluation of teaching isknown to have several limitations and hence cannot be the sole basis for instructor evaluation.Peer observation, self-reflection, and assessment of teaching portfolios can be employed asholistic evaluation practices. The Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) department at theUniversity of Connecticut (UConn) adopted a calibrated

While there is a wide range of developmental models, I will highlight one here that offers auseful framework for charting changes in thinking and reasoning over time: Baxter Magolda’sEpistemological Reflection Model (ERM) [26].Baxter Magolda’s ERM describes cognitive development in terms of the ways individuals makesense of, evaluate, interact with, and understand knowledge. This model is derived from Perry’sintellectual development framework [27] and addresses salient dimensions of college learningenvironments. The categories, called “ways of knowing”, range from Absolute to Contextual.Absolute Knowing corresponds to an overarching belief system where knowledge is
Personal TestimoniesThat imagery plays a dominant role in conceptual thinking is widelyconfirmed by scientists and engineers through their self reflections. AlbertEinstein described his own thought process10 in the following statement: 5 “Words or language, as they are written or spoken, do not seem to playany role in my mechanism of thought. The psychical entities which seem toserve as elements in thought are certain signs and more or less clear imageswhich can be voluntarily reproduced and combined . . . this combinatoryplay seems to be the essential feature in productive thought—before there isany connection with logical construction in words and other kinds of signswhich can be communicated to others

experiences. We hypothesize this reflects apattern of self-selection into different types of learning experiences. Our findings suggest thedifficulty of developing impactful ethics interventions, given that students arrive at universitywith pre-existing knowledge and perceptions about ethics, morality, and social responsibility,and may opt into experiences and programs that align with rather than challenge their existingvalues and social commitments.Nonetheless, through interviews we had multiple opportunities to ask participants about theirlearning experiences related to morality, ethics, and associated concerns. In a series of papers, weleveraged this data to explore the different kinds of experiences mentioned, along with whatstudents described

It provides a flexible structure for solving wicked, ill-structured challenges [7] andgenerating creative and meaningful solutions [8]. HCD centralizes humans in the design journeythrough emphasizing with stakeholders, understanding them, and collaborating with them toexplore and define problems [9], [10]. Then, HCD engages the stakeholders in iterative cycles ofprototyping, testing, and reflecting to develop and sustain solutions [1]. HCD involves

Emergent codes showed thatparticipants found both outward and inward value in serving others. Outward value reflected abetter quality of life for the person benefiting from service while inward value provided personalsatisfaction, learning, or growth for the participant. This inward value was also evident withrespect to views of DEI where participants mentioned learning or growing from past events. Twoparticipants

Such perspectives center individual personhoodand lived experience of people with disabilities, highlight the diverse nature of disability, andposition accessibility and inclusion as ethical necessities that a society is responsible for. Theseperspectives contrast those often used in the social, physical, and bureaucratic structures thatshape the lived experiences of people with disabilities [5]. Such structures tend to rely onmedicalized models that describe disability as a condition to be treated and/or accommodatedusing a set of prescribed approaches regulated by policy [6, 7].Conceptualizing and

Although never explicitly stated, the EI scorerepresented any number of factors, including the pollution caused during componentmanufacture and operation, and processes and methods used to acquire and handle the rawmaterials during its fabrication. Hence, designs aimed to minimize the EI score. Students whocreated cycle configurations involving multiple pumps and/or turbines were able to select anycomponent at each particular location. For example, a reheat cycle may choose a differentturbine option for each of the expansion stages. Table 2 provides a

The Fellows then further reflected in writing on their understanding of what "goodcommunication" means in engineering and how they came to that understanding.
