for design and development, and the continuous improvement on both thedesign methodologies and the fabrication technology. To be competitive in this area, industryemployers are looking for engineers with qualifications such as: self-guided learning, systemdesign skills, team-working skills, development tools skills, and ethical behavior. Educatingprofessionals at universities with these qualifications becomes a key to support the continuousdevelopment of the MbSD area. To do this, the authors have formally incorporated active-cooperative learning strategies based on the course redesign framework implemented at ITESMCampus Monterrey. This redesign framework provides the basis to adjust the curricula usingvaluable pedagogical principles such as
many of the less technical aspects of the profession--from preparing vitas andselling oneself, to project control, to running a private office, to professional ethics, etc. Thesubject involves constant interaction with practitioners, including a “chase an engineer”experience in which students spend a day with a practicing mentor. On Fridays, a luncheon isprovided where outside speakers are invited to present a seminar on current trends in theirparticular discipline.Starting in November and continuing through May, students work on a group project. Thestudents select their project by forming interdisciplinary groups and responding to one of the“RFPs” which are let during October. The proposals include both technical andadministrative/cost

I liked how they put the school "theory" into real life situations on the job. They taught me how hard, rewarding and fun engineering can be. They definitely focused my attention in the general direction of engineering.Ethics in EngineeringTwo sessions were devoted to exploring issues of ethics under the guidance of the dean of theCollege of Engineering and Applied Science, Lewis Duncan. These sessions began

Page 4.457.2Ultimately, Àdecision support routines,À dominated by human issues, have the strongestimpacts.Furthermore, the most dynamic factors are human elements, active in the total process not juston any single element.Behavioral influences such as individual values, personalities, propensity for risk, potential fordisagreement and ethical intensity all apply. So, the question ultimately is: How do CPEEs dealwith human elements when selecting technology to teach technology?IV.

An on-campus seminar prior to the workassignment is one method of introducing students to important aspects and expectations about theco-op experience. Resume writing, interviewing skills and job requirements are a few of thetopics that may be discussed. This has been neglected in the work-integrated programs at MSU inthe past. These seminars can bridge the gap between the classroom and the workplace, while theco-op provides the opportunity to develop a “work ethic”.At the conclusion of the co-op, the employer routinely fills out a Student Evaluation Formcovering characteristics such as; work performance, employability, and personal qualities. TheMSU staff encourages the employer to

Communities Must Benefit The purpose of educational research is "to advance knowledge about education, to encourage scholarly inquiry related to education, and to promote the use of research to improve education and serve the public good"27. Typically, data collected as part of educational research is used to address research questions, and to write and publish papers. This ultimately benefits the researcher and improves the practice of education. Although some funding institutions such as the National Science Foundation (NSF) require dissemination of the research and evaluation findings28, in CBPR projects, research is only considered ethical if the community receives adequate benefits from
ethics, intellectual property, FDAapproval, and animal/human subjects testing. The students also have the opportunity to learn asthey are needed, various technical skills including computer-aided design, finite elementanalysis, machining/fabrication, electronics and electrical measurement and design, LabVIEW,MATLAB and microcontroller programming, mechanical testing, and basic laboratorytechniques related to biomaterials and tissue engineering. As our student population has grown,we have had an increasing challenge to informally and effectively teach our students thesecutting-edge skills that will enable them to be better engineers. In addition, our BME StudentAdvisory Committee (BSAC) has expressed interest in having more formal, directed

The objectivesof the LR were to address topics related to the engineering professional development. At each Page 23.1388.3LR, the team discussed teamwork skills, engineering ethics, engineering design process, andcontextualization.3.3 Technical learningUnlike traditional design courses, where technical learning (i.e. coursework) may not be relatedto the design project, the idea behind project-based learning is to facilitate learning using designprojects. The team used this project to facilitate the learning of
increased over time, these groups remain underrepresentedin engineering relative to the overall workforce, and this underrepresentation increases as level ofeducation increases (i.e., engineers with doctoral degrees are a less racially and ethnically diversegroup than those with bachelor’s degrees [1]). Increasing the diversity of engineers is importantbecause more diverse teams can produce more creative, innovative, and effective solutions toproblems [6, 8]. In addition, the background characteristics of engineers may impact the types ofproblems they examine and the populations that benefit from their work (e.g., [5]). The bestengineers are adaptable team players who work to include a diversity of views while also attendingto ethical obligations

been a growing emphasis on integrating sustainability into STEM education,driven by the urgent need to address environmental and social challenges and equip future generationswith the knowledge and skills necessary to promote sustainable development. It is essential to adaptscience, technology, engineering, and mathematics education to contemporary needs, includingsustainable development, ethical competencies, and preparation for the evolving demands of theglobal STEM landscape. Numerous educational efforts are underway to incorporate thesecompetencies into STEM curricula, ensuring that future professionals can design innovative andsustainable solutions to emerging economic, environmental, and social challenges. To effectivelyintegrate the
learners, canfoster a more personalized learning experience. A key aspect of this is targetedfeedback, which plays a vital role in student development. This study presents astrategy that enables instructors in chemical engineering courses to create bespokeproblem sets and solutions tailored for their students. Ethical AI use and intellectualproperty contributions are discussed extensively in the text. The issues consideredwere (1) bias in AI-generated problem statements; (2) academic integrity andplagiarism; (3) data privacy and student information; (4) openness and explanation;(5) intellectual property and copyright; and most importantly, (6) the general frameworkfor ethical use of AI in engineering education.This approach leverages Python

However consideration of such disasters can also be used in a number of other ways in engineering education. For example, engineering disasters can be used to discuss operational aspects of engineering which are often not considered in
suggest that institutional constraints on providing equaleducational opportunities can limit women's career advancement in technology fields and affectthe broader engineering sector. The findings of this study show that women's participation andprogress in these fields can be greatly improved through changing information and communicationtechnology policies to better respond to their requirements.Machado-Taylor and Özkanli [28] emphasize differences in academic career developmentbetween male and female academics. They indicate the importance of institutional support toremove these obstacles. Atakan et al.

complex global challenges. ABET [8] has incorporated global competencyinto its student outcomes, encouraging curricula that foster global awareness, cross-culturalcollaboration, and ethical leadership. European initiatives similarly emphasize inclusivity, genderequity, and democratic principles, while programs such as the European Green Deal [9] and theErasmus+ framework [10] actively support sustainability and cross-border collaboration ineducation. Additionally, initiatives like the Grand Challenge Scholars Program [11] andEngineers Without Borders [12] promote experiential learning opportunities, encouragingstudents to address pressing global issues through innovative and community-centered solutions.These efforts collectively highlight a
genAI as a tool for their writing assignments (Table 2) and hadnegative feelings towards it (Table 3). This points to a group of students gaining AI literacythrough the class and then deciding to no longer use it. An example of a student who was part ofthis group and reflected this sentiment: “I don't like it in general. It may have its uses, but overallI don't like the growing trend of relying on AI for skills that we should be developing ourselvesduring college. I also have my doubts about any ethically sound way to use it.”Our survey answers reflect a high degree of skepticism and belief that the generated text is notreliable in contextual and scientific content. Students in this group rejected the use of AI due tothe low quality and
