, communication skills,leadership, a systems perspective, undergraduate research, engineering work experience, andethics, among other items. In response, curricular reforms are underway at many institutions,including Michigan Technological University (MTU). 3-11To address some of these deficiencies, we are implementing a revised BSEE program at MTU.We require our students to take a course in creative problem solving during their first year. Inthis course, we set the stage for open-ended problem solving, high standards of professionalbehavior, and teamwork. Also, design, ethical concerns, and practice with communication skillshave been integrated into core courses required of all undergraduate EE majors. Finally, wehave set aside approximately 50% of the
the economic,environmental, ethical, historical, and social issues that are involved in design.Reflection is a skill that has recently received attention. According to Gorman, Richards,Scherer, and Kagiwada (1995), reflection is important particularly for first-year students orinexperienced designers. Reflection provides these students with the opportunity to contemplateproblem-solving strategies and problem representations and to develop new ways of reaching asolution that might be apparent to more experienced students. Students can reflect on the designprocess in diaries, journals, or notebooks.How faculty teach designEngineering faculty tend to use at least one of four approaches to teaching design: lecture, facultyas guide or coach, case
students’ writing and to facilitatediscussion on the topics raised by lectures, readings, and relevant issues that capture students’interest. Students also keep journals as a way of tinkering with ideas that may then develop intolonger, more involved reports.Course MaterialsIn addition to Environmental Ethics, Our Ecological Footprint, and a novel, the following textsare used in this course:◊ Beer and McMurrey.

Portfolio Format The format for undergraduate portfolios was developed based on the goals set forth in the1995-97 Bulletin of North Carolina A&T State University , the objectives of the Department ofIndustrial Engineering, and the ABET 2000 Criteria. The portfolio consisted of a three ringbinder with dividers for the following sections:• Leadership Skills• Oral Communication Skills• Written Communication Skills• Technical Competence• Critical Thinking• Teamwork Skills• Social Consciousness• Global Context of Engineering• Lifelong Learning• Professional and Ethical Responsibility• Interpersonal Skills• Career Readiness This portfolio format allowed the Department of Industrial Engineering
and knowledge in marketing environment, social science, ethics, etc. The main bodyof a speciality should be restructured, and overall arrangement should be made for the basictraining of the undergraduates and ability training of the graduates in order to solve theproblem in our undergraduate program that the students have a solid foundation, but lack theability of research and creativity. The second category is to train the certified professionalengineers with a Bachelor degree in architecture, civil engineering and a few engineering Page 3.597.2departments. The training program will be modified in accordance with the standards ofinternational
organization, relevance, one’s level of interest, etc. The strategy category involves theperceived effectiveness of methods for achieving goals in cognitive undertakings, like a goodway to learn is by writing things down. As Flavell explains, “cognitive strategies are invoked tomake cognitive progress, metacognitive strategies to monitor it” [5].The authors look to allow the students to formulate their own learning objectives specifically inregard to ABET Criterion 3, Student Outcomes in the capstone design course. Criterion 3,Student Outcomes prepares graduates to enter the professional practice of engineering with sevenrequired outcomes that can briefly be articulated as an ability to solve, design, communicate,recognize ethical and professional

This form ensured that students were fullyaware of their rights to abstain from answering the survey without any consequences to theiracademic standing or university services. We have ensured that participation was completelyvoluntary, respecting the autonomy of

norms and behaviors thatmarginalize underrepresented students, further exacerbating their sense of exclusion andalienation [4]. Engineering's “hidden curriculum” covers things like professional norms,confidence-building, and ethics, taught indirectly in early foundational courses, makingadaptation difficult for transfer students [5].Mentoring has been identified as a valuable strategy for decoding the hidden curriculum andsupporting students in navigating the implicit messages and norms present in educationalsettings [3], [4], [6]. Mentors can provide guidance, share their own experiences, and offerinsights into the hidden curriculum, thereby helping students to understand and navigate theunspoken rules and expectations of the academic
not sign the consent letter to participate in the IRB-approved evaluationresearch.Evaluation MethodsEvaluation of the project consisted of a pre-post survey instrument focused on perceived self-efficacy in universal teamwork and research skills. This instrument was an adaptation of theResearch Self-efficacy scale [9]. Questions focused on things like the perceived ability to“engage in effective team practices,” “follow ethical principles of research,” “identify my ownstrengths within a team setting,” and “present research ideas in oral or written form.” This pre-post survey was augmented by weekly surveys aimed at understanding fellow engagement in theprogram. A final focus group was held with the project evaluator to further elucidate the
about the research project from the expertise of community members,while community members develop skills in conducting research (Israel et al., 1998). Studentswho are integral to the research team also derive benefits from engaging in community-basedprojects. This involvement enhances their awareness of community issues, fosters communitycollaborations, and refines their research skills and methods (Dunbar et al., 2013). Despite thesebenefits, CBR also presents challenges, such as ethical dilemmas between community desireswith respect to research design and methods and outsider researchers scientific rigor (Minkler,2005). Additionally, early career researchers engaging in CBR face challenges due to competingdemands on their time and resources

ethical considerations in working with K-12 studentsand obtaining authorization from school districts to the EDM community. The objectives of the EDM course are to cultivate an environment where students can acquireknowledge and develop skills associated with data science techniques, advanced software usage for dataanalysis, and learning theories and educational practices to interpret and design educational interventions. Considering that it is very likely that participants in an EDM course may come from strong datascience or education backgrounds, there are two considerations to accomplish the learning outcomes ofthe EDM course. First, students must learn concepts and skills that may not be part of their background,such as
applications in ethical development, equity and accessibility issues (e.g. web scraping) o Future-proofing o Economics o Project management and team software processes o Communication skills o Conflict resolution o Individual software processes, resiliency, self-reflection, self-assessment o Revision control and use of tools o Innovation and creative capacity o Entrepreneurial mindsetOverall, students and faculty both wanted to see more diversity in senior technical electives.These courses also allow students to specialize in specific areas of interest since it is not possibleto cover the immense breadth of software engineering in a limited timeframe.
