The courses in our 120semester credit hours restructured curriculum are similar to most schools and therefore nocompromises are made toward decrease in program effectiveness.Five general education courses were eliminated from the BS ME program, equivalent to areduction of 12 semester credits. The current requirements for General Education total 30semester credits, 18 of which are in the areas of oral and written communications, ethics, culturaldiversity, and personal/social environments areas. The remaining 12 required credits consist ofmathematics and science courses.2. The following pre-calculus level mathematics courses were eliminated from the
political identity, social welfare, and perspectives ofdiversity. In reflecting on the personal impact of recent national events and how politicaldiscussions have or have not been integrated into their STEM courses, two themes emerged: 1)political awareness and 2) future-self impact. Findings revealed that first year engineeringstudents recognized the personal and social impacts current national events imposed on theirfriends, family, and society. However, students did not sense the significance of politicaldiscourse concerning the social impact and ethical practice of engineering. Our research showsthat limiting political discourse in the classroom and depoliticizing engineering spacescontributed to students dissociating the relevance of political

Similarly, outcomes g, jand k received slightly higher ratings for EES. Again, these observations are as anticipated giventhe nature of the writing exercises incorporated in each of the courses. Writing intensiveexercises in EES enhanced the communication skills, knowledge of contemporary issues andtechniques and skills required for engineering practice11. The design intensive exercises in WWEhelped students realize the professional and ethical responsibility, awareness of broad educationfor engineering solutions, and the need for life-long learning to stay up to the trends

engineering education and related research by adoptingnew ways of thinking (ASEE, 2014; NAE, 2004; UNESCO, 2012). The Engineering EducationResearch (EER) Colloquies (JEE, 2006) specifically called for “research that will helpcharacterize the nature of engineering knowledge (i.e., its technical, social, and ethical aspects)and ways of engineering thinking that are essential for identifying and solving technicalproblems within dynamic and multidisciplinary environments” (p. 260). The ways of engineeringthinking need to be reconsidered to not only meet changing workforce demands, but also toincrease awareness of the social impacts of engineered solutions, to promote diversity andinclusion in the profession, and to solve chronic issues of student

understanding of howinformation is produced and valued, and the use of information in creating new knowledge andparticipating ethically in communities of learning.There are a number of scholarly works that discuss using PBL pedagogies in higher education.Barron, et al (1998) provide a 40-page primer on PBL as a general pedagogical method. Whilenot dealing specifically with engineering courses, it will provide an overview for those new tothe subject. Another article, this one by Smith Macklin (2001), discusses how to integrateinformation literacy into a one-shot course session using PBL. While not aimed specifically atengineering courses the article provides guidance that could be applicable to any subject area.Guerra, Ulseth and Kolmos (2017) edited a

This emphasizes that anunderstanding of the cultural, ideological, political, and historical contexts in whichenvironmental problems occur is essential to solving our society’s most pressing environmentalproblems [2-3].Over the past decade, there has been increased interest in the academic field of the environmentalhumanities, along with a push to abandon the narrow disciplinary tradition of solving problems[2]. According to Criteria 3, Student Outcome 4 of ABET, the engineering accreditation body,programs should ensure that graduating students have “an ability to recognize ethical andprofessional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which mustconsider the impact of

She notes values that inform her work are “Criticalawareness of situations that enable learners to make ethical decisions about their own practicesand also to take a holistic perspective.”Rachael’s background as a qualitative educational researcher and interpretive cultural studiesanalyst causes her to focus her response on the impossibility of “true objectivity” in research,even when that research includes

More senior professors areencouraged to lead this role. The ME department at the University of Florida (UF) in Gainesville iscomparable in size with that of the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez (UPRM) in the sense of boththe undergraduate student population as well as the faculty strength. Hence, some similarities can beobserved and inferred. Qualitative results of educational research in both the institutions suggestsatisfactory implementation of mentoring by the dedicated senior faculty members [5]. Also, in both theME

In engineering education, scoring rubrics have been used in the performance evaluation of awide range of ABET and other outcomes, including professional skills [10], ethics [11], writingskills [12], design competency [13, 14], and students’ software skills [15]. The motivation to usescoring rubrics in engineering education also is due to the lack of satisfaction emanating from theuse of the traditional grading process which have been criticized for their bias, and unrealisticstandards [2, 9, 15]. Rubrics are attractive since they can be adjusted to
project dataBy analyzing the assessment data, it seems students in the senior project have weaknesses inthree major areas: Design, Mathematical modelling, EthicsTo improve design, mathematical modelling, and calculation, suggestion is to have one of themajor weekly assignment be an Engineering Logbook. Every week students should submit theirdesign, and calculation. For example, if students use SONAR in their project, in the engineeringlogbook they must write all calculations and how to measure distance or in the case of motorconnection to micro-controller they must write in the logbook all calculations for the requiredcurrent. Regarding ethics, in the course shell one module should be covered the engineeringethics specially IEEE Engineering

In 1988, the ExecutiveBoard of the Union proposed to the Vice President for Student Affairs that Rensselaer form aCenter for Student Leadership Development on the campus.

capstone sequence is an obvious bellwether coursechoice. While individual projects vary in scope, these courses potentially support all of theABET outcomes a through k. In particular, these courses are typically assessed for outcomes a,b, c, d, e, g, i and k. Outcome i, focused on ethical and social responsibilities, is often addressedvia the nature of the project itself. Some projects have a clear link to social issues, for instanceprojects done during 2006 – 2007 and 2005 – 2006 related to bio-fuels and physicalrehabilitation devices. Ethical issues related to design (minimizing risk of injury, etc.) are also apart of the course. Assessment of this outcome is done by direct measures (faculty observingstudent discussion or the project’s written
