Universities are called to align theireducational strategies with the SDG objectives and provide for plans of action for theirimplementation and timely achievement [2].The University of Pittsburgh is in Pittsburgh, PA.

Robotics has tremendous use in education and has helped improve daily life operations. Furtheradvancements in miniaturization, automation, lightweight, and artificial intelligence technologies are atthe forefront of current research for long-term usability [1-2]. Manufacturing robots as a pedagogicalpractice promotes student learning in different entities of the engineering field. Specifically, it involvesknowledge of programming, electronics, design, and fabrication; thus, critical thinking and problem-solving stimulation are inevitable. Moreover, robotic competitions help train and motivate youngstudents in STEM education as the engagement provides stimuli to solve tangible societal problems [3-6]. The practice of competitions and prizes in an

may be particularly useful to new faculty. If studentsare able to learn on their own, then the new faculty member can spend less time preparing toteach concepts, and more time learning how students approach problems - and understandingtheir problem-solving challenges. That understanding in turn can help them to develop their ownteaching materials and strategies over time. The time savings can be particularly helpful for newfaculty with heavy research expectations. STEM faculty often do not have training in teaching[1] and flipped learning can provide greater returns on faculty investment in professionallearning. In particular, differentiating for various student learning styles can be challenging whilelearning how to teach.While flipped

influences people’s ethicalbeliefs and considerations. Another interesting topic in ethics is human flourishing theories. Terrell Bynum first coined the termflourishing ethics in 2006. Since then, many researchers have been applying flourishing ethics as theirparadigm for AI ethics. In Stahl (2020) ’s book, he stated, ”The central thesis of this book is thatflourishing ethics can enlighten AI ethics and guide the development of practical interventions. Anotherexample is Reiss (2021), in his paper on the use of AI education, who argued that education shouldsupport human flourishing, which will widen to non-human surroundings since it benefits humans too.There are two general categories of Flourishing Ethics (FE) –1.

communicate effectively (ABET, 2022).2.2 Self-regulated design learning (SRDL) and the design studioIn his book “Self-Regulated Design Learning,” Matthew Powers writes that Self-Regulated Design Learning(SRDL) is a “theory and methodology that synthesizes two important concepts: (1) design learning; and (2) self-regulated learning (SRL), into a two-part structure that includes a theoretical foundation to help explain howstudents learn (and don’t learn) in design studios” (Powers 2017, p. xxi). Design studios and Project-based Learning(PBL) strategies put the student at the center of their learning experience, which is focused on learning by doing(Schön, 1987). Powers defines self-regulated learning as “the belief that meaningful learning comes from

IntroductionThe goal of undergraduate engineering programs is to teach how to solve problems [1] withcritical thinking and other necessary skills. Engineering programs typically have had a narrowfocus and rigid adherence to traditional instruction and assessment [2]. Blickenstaff [3] reportedthe lecture format that was adopted in most engineering courses can be detrimental in that itpotentially creates a barrier between students and instructors. Felder et al.

It has proven inengaging students in problem solving skills and in helping them to pursue more of STEM basedcareers [2].Design thinking has gained immense popularity in the past decade as it is oftenassociated with innovation [3]. With the gaining popularity, many universities are offeringdesign thinking courses not only to engineering and design departments but also to otherdepartments like management, medicine etc. According to a recent article titled “Towards Bringing Human-Centered Design to K-12and Post-Secondary Education” by Shehab et al., it is mentioned that While there has been

Added stress from learningonline has increased the need for students to develop self-regulation skills that enable theirlearning and management of various learning facets such as motivation, organization, and timemanagement [1], [2]. The development and enhancement of self-directed learning skills are notonly crucial for self-regulation, but also help strengthen students’ ability to navigate onlinelearning. This is especially pertinent in light of the tendency of online learning environments torely on students’ autonomy by requiring them to

Within the context ofwomen and underrepresented individuals in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM), the premise upon which NSF’s ADVANCE program was founded was to identify thebehaviors, policies, and programs that could enable equity in STEM faculty ranks. TheADVANCE program launched in 2001 and has enabled extensive programming and researchinto this challenge. Twenty years later, studies continue to relay the isolation and hostileprofessional obstacle course that excluded groups face in STEM [2]. In short, a tipping point hasnot yet been

The course was originally designed by a facultymember from the department’s structural engineering, mechanics and materials group, withexpertise and interest in computational mechanics, origami engineering, and topologyoptimization. The purpose of the course was to familiarize students with concepts andalgorithms to construct and analyze origami structures that address engineering and societalproblems. Origami folding techniques and differential geometry were also incorporated into thecourse [2,3,4].
