consider thesedimensions can result in ethical lapses with far-reaching consequences (Hess et al.,2023). A stark example is the Flint water crisis, where cost-driven decisions led tocontaminated drinking water and severe public health outcomes (Hess et al., 2023).This case highlights the urgent need to integrate ethics more comprehensively intoengineering education.Despite the importance of ethical responsibility, existing research suggests that manyengineering programs do not sufficiently prepare students to navigate the ethicalcomplexities inherent in their profession (Stephan, 2013; Hess et al., 2018). To addressthis gap, the present study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitativeinterviews and quantitative surveys to investigate

Perceived Stress among Engineering Students Lisa Schneider Cornell UniversityAbstractPrevious surveys of students in Cornell’s College of Engineering suggest that, over the past 2decades, students perceived the workload required in the College, the competition amongstudents, the difficulty of the curriculum, and the prevalence of curved grading systems asstressful to the point of detracting from the quality of their educational experience. Intending toexpand on these findings, the College’s Committee on Evaluation of the Student Experienceidentified stress and sense of unhealthy competition as a focus for a Spring 2005 StudentExperience

under pressure – from students as well as fromemployers – to provide curricula which allow new, young chemical engineers to work effectivelyin these fields. In addition, there is pressure – particularly from employers – to broaden students’skills and knowledge in “soft” areas – communications, economics, business and managementpractices, foreign languages, etc. At the same time, there is pressure – particularly from stategovernments – to avoid “credit-hour creep” and to graduate students in four years. One way tomeet these demands is through a layered curriculum in which all chemical engineering studentswould learn the minimum basic material needed to qualify as chemical engineers and then wouldadd layers of specialization and breadth.

As in the laminar flow experiments, thetemperature of the exiting air was recorded as a function of flow rate and was used todetemine the duty and the experimental heat transfer coefficient.

AbstractNumerous national policy papers and studies have reported that the continued lack of recruitmentand retention in STEM fields among historically under-represented populations has a serious impacton the economic well being of the United States and its citizenry. Much attention has been paid tothe attitudes and interests of minority students regarding their desire to pursue postsecondaryeducation in STEM as well as their persistence in these efforts. In addition, various efforts havebeen made to increase the recruitment and retention of these populations through outreachprograms, mentoring, and summer activities. Less attention has been paid to the pervasive attitudesand actions of their peers within the STEM fields and throughout the STEM pipeline

Education innovations are required to empower students with the skills and technologies for large dataset analysis. Over the last few years, there is a high demand for new programs in data science and analytics (DSA). We has performed a systematic study of the existing DSA programs in the US by checking the detailed information about the degree programs, the program competencies, the curriculum designs, the expected learning outcomes, program sizes, professional careers, and other related information. There are more than 70 DSA programs offered in the US

implemented a faculty development program that includes teachingeffectiveness workshops, workshops for administrators on mentoring and supporting newfaculty, and measures to create and sustain engineering faculty development programs on eachmember campus. To assess the impact of these efforts, the SUCCEED faculty development teamdesigned and administered a survey of faculty teaching practices and attitudes toward teaching in19971 and administered it again in 1999 2. This paper summarizes the responses to survey itemsin which faculty rated the importance of effective teaching to themselves, to faculty colleagues,and to campus administrators, and the importance of effective and innovative teaching in theirinstitution’s faculty reward system.In 1999
