Developed by a team of psychologists and otherscholars, the VIA’s list of 24 character strengths (www.viacharacter.org/character-strengths) issupported by years of research and offers definitions and examples of character strengths inaction. Working from this list, we carried out a preliminary inspection of the three codes, todiscern whether they might include possible strengths central to engineering practice but notcaptured by the VIA, which was developed through a broader lens. Next, we developed apreliminary set of definitions for all the character strengths in our list, defining the strengthsborrowed from VIA’s list based on the definitions available on the

Computationalmodeling of a car structure may be used in the design of safety systems in the vehicle. Second,even when modeling does not directly impact human health and safety, models can impactscientific progress and irresponsible modeling efforts can lead to slowing of this progress to thedetriment of the profession and our body of knowledge.Like computational modeling, design in research also presents unique issues for responsibleconduct courses. These issues include: • Human health and welfare in the design of devices/ structures/constructs • Global/social impact of

This is why such approaches are still prevalentin medical education after medical school and in graduate programs. However, the modernengineering faculty faced with large classrooms and brief educational experiences bracketed into15-week semesters or 10-week quarters cannot get to know each student well enough to facilitatea personalized mentoring approach.

The first round of grants wassolicited in fall of 2007, and these first grants were awarded in February 2008. A total of 19proposals were submitted, of which 5 were selected for funding at a level of $40,000 each. Thecriteria upon which the proposals were rated included: 1. Significance of the proposed project in relation to current knowledge 2. Grounding of the proposal in current theories and knowledge on teaching and learning 3. Potential impact of the work (its ability to embed the new attributes in all CoE graduates) 4. Potential to gain significant funding beyond the seed

The summit was organized by
: 1) experiential leadership development, which requires placing studentsin opportunities that allow them to practice leading; 2) service learning, which providesopportunities for learning through interactions with communities, schools, and non-profitorganizations; and 3) experiential learning, which covers work-integrated learning, internships,apprenticeships, and other hands-on activities. These engagement opportunities are consistentwith Tinto’s theory of student integration, which postulates that academic and social integrationare key factors for increasing student persistence and graduation. Through a synthesis of themain facets of these theory-based approaches, we will: 1) describe an employability model forSTEM majors, 2) illustrate

MiguelAndr´es’s research includes sustainable infrastructure design and planning, smart and resilient cities, and the development of engineers who not only have strong technical and practical knowledge but the social awareness and agency to address global humanitarian, environmental, and social justice challenges. For him, social justice is a concept that should always be involved in discussions on infrastructure. Related to STEM education, Miguel Andr´es is in developing and applying contemporary pedagogies for STEM courses, teaching empathy studies in engineering as a tool for innovation, and assessing engineering students’ agency to address climate change.

They found that researchers harbored concernsabout data sharing, mostly related to ethics (67.5%), but also misuse and misinterpretation ofdata, and fear of losing the scientific edge. They also had a lack of understanding regarding thenecessary steps for making data publicly accessible. The study underscored the need forsubstantial training and advocacy efforts to actualize the vision of widespread data sharing.There have been explorations on research data management best practices in the U.S. context aswell.
