richer and their use in the laboratory courses would be invaluable. The author is developing a series of tutorials that address a wide range of materials science topics. The spreadsheet exercises in each tutorial start with simple calculations and progress to project-level calculations such as modeling ionic bonding or processing data from experiments. Spreadsheet skills developed include performing simple and complex calculations, importing and exporting data, graphing data, using the numerical tools, and producing attractive, presentable and reusable spreadsheet applications. With spreadsheets already on practically every home and school personal computer implementation of these tutorials can be done

Specific attention is given to theprinciples of ecology that will influence ecological engineering design practice. We also noteorganizational challenges posed by working with faculty and administration from manydisciplines, attracting students, research funding and external partnerships, and seeking ABETaccreditation.IntroductionThe emerging practice of ecological engineering grows out of the failure of past engineeringpractice to provide for human welfare while at the same time protecting the natural environmentfrom which goods and services are drawn.

Student Satisfaction with ASEE Activities and its Impact on ASEE Student Membership Adam Carberry, Daniel Bumblauskas, Alexandra Coso, Ana Torres-Ayala Arizona State University, University of Missouri, Georgia Institute of Technology, University of South FloridaAbstractThe number of students participating in engineering education research, reform, and practice hasbeen steadily growing, as seen by the increased student membership of the American Society forEngineering Education (ASEE) within the last decade. A possible source for this increasedinvolvement includes the creation of graduate programs awarding engineering education degrees,but according to a 2010

To meet this objective, the program provides first year students with:• Undergraduate and graduate mentors• Seminars with Engineering Faculty where various aspects of engineering career options are presented• Career development workshops to develop interviewing skills, resumés and cover letters• Academic scholarships to help with tuition expenses (Undergraduate scholars receive an annual scholarship of $2,500 for two years; graduate scholars are awarded a $3,125 scholarship.)In the Fall, the first year students are placed in teams with a second year student and a Mastersstudent. The sophomore mentor is a person who participated in the GUIDE program the previousyear and successfully completed their first year of engineering

Engaging students in evaluation of engineering situation through information literacyAbstractThe Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) requires that students inaccredited programs be able to, “recognize ethical and professional responsibilities inengineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact ofengineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts” (2018). Whilecovering the technical content of engineering courses, faculty sometimes forget our students’need to acquire these crucial non-engineering skills as a part of their preparation to enter into theprofession.

-dependent problem solving skills learned in one context intodomain-independent skills capable of solving ill-structured problems [1]. Becoming an expertproblem solver within this new environment means adding, "knowing why" to what and howknowledge. The typical instructional solution to enhance the student’s problem solving skills isto add a “messy” end of course project, based on the faculty member’s industrial experience orconsulting work. Depending on the nature of the problem and the student's familiarity with theproject context, student success can be limited. Spiro delineated this condition, stating "cognitiveand instructional neglect of problems related to content complexity and irregularity in patterns ofknowledge use leads to learning
