management tasks using an appropriate computer tool,§ Work effectively and ethically as a member of a technical team, and§ Develop a work ethic appropriate for the engineering profession.The syllabus is a coordinated mix of introduction to engineering fundamentals, including graphicalrepresentation, statistics, and economics, and introduction to computer tools used to solveengineering problems, specifically MATLAB and Excel. ENGR 106 has two 50-minute lecturesand one 2-hour computer laboratory period per week. The lectures focus on fundamentalengineering concepts and problem solving. The labs are organized into a series of four or fivetasks that are completed either by teams of four students or individual students, as specified by theinstructors
demonstrate their products attheir team booth in a public arena.Lectures are organized according to design process theory: design specifications,conceptualization, design embodiment, material selection and product fabrication, and designvalidation. Different design methodologies are taught such as Quality Function Deployment(QFD), Failure Modes and Effect Analysis (FMEA) and Design for X (DFX where X can be formanufacturing, assembly, environment, safety, etc.). To further prepare our students, technicalcommunications, environmental concerns, and ethical issues have been added to the lectureseries. In these lectures, we teach the role of the engineer in serving society. Further, that in allaspects of their work and life, they should consider their

catalogue description for ELMC 461: Students work in teams to design and construct an interdisciplinary project. Teams, with clearly defined individual responsibilities, are required. During the course of the semester, each team undertakes the necessary activities to bring about a successful design project that is well understood, documented, and presented in both oral and written form. Emphasis is placed on research, innovation, project management, decision-making, prototyping, design for manufacturing, design for testability, environmental and ethical issues in design, depth and breadth of analysis, quality of hardware, documentation, and communications. Prerequisites: Junior Status; ELMC160

Criterion: (1) Develop design requirements and a project approach that addresses client needs within the constraints imposed by the client, appropriate design standards/laws, and natural limitations. (2) Identify appropriate alternatives to meet client desires within the constraint imposed and evaluate the feasibility of the alternatives choosing the “best” based upon developed criteria.

This decline in randomized experiment studies may partly be attributed to thefollowing factors: (1) randomized designs rarely duplicate real-life situations 15; (2) practicalconditions for randomized experiments are generally not satisfied 16; (3) the randomizationprocess may be especially challenging in an educational setting where study groups may not bealtered to form comparable intervention and control groups; and (4) ethical considerationsemerge when a promising or potential educational intervention is provided to the interventiongroup while the control group is denied of its benefits 17.

the protectionof their employer’s rights to this property.” A similar and relevant concern can exits in theuniversity classroom setting: “corporations restrict the flow of information in order to protectprofits. Professional societies urge technical communicators to do the same. Universitiesencourage the flow of information so that many may learn from it. All want ethical behavior31.”As observed by one author, leading edge companies and professional societies are promotingeducation.

strategies to increase female participation and success in engineering, thus avoidinglabor and economic gaps. Early dropout prediction is a valuable tool for management teams,allowing them to focus support efforts on high-risk students and improve academicmanagement indicators.Machine Learning, particularly neural networks, has proven to be a significant advancementin predicting student dropout in engineering. This technology effectively analyzes large datasets and accurately identifies key dropout factors. By modeling the complexities of studentbehavior and circumstances, neural networks offer a deeper perspective than traditionalanalytical methods. This approach improves early intervention and highlights the importanceof ethical technology for
discussed in aconference manuscript. For brevity, Zach filtered the codes and episodes through his ownexperience as a studio instructor and developed a final set of organizing themes that form thesection headers of the Results.At the outset of this project, the team established a mutually agreed upon set of rules forreviewing any reports of the reflection data. Our results are presented in non-anonymous form;therefore, all team members reviewed the Results section as an ongoing consent process. Allteam members reserved a “right to veto” the inclusion of any of their reflections in themanuscript, and actively engaged in reviewing both their own and other teammates’ quotationsfor possible risks. This process draws on ideas of ethical validation—the
standard that I'm held up to at school which causes me to produce, I think, a better work ethic or just a stronger work ethic, that will prepare me for biology, a topic that I know, or a major, which I know and is known to be a little bit more strenuous.And: I've just heard people say it. I've just heard people say that it's strenuous just as I've heard other people at my school say that certain courses, which I'm taking right now, are strenuous. Just with the information that I have right now, I believe that I'm getting well prepared, but I'm not sure which levels of strenuous they both stand on. However, there's only so much I could do right now to prepare myself in terms of work ethic for that course. I

Students were provided with on-campus faculty and staff contacts, and they weregiven access to numerous networking opportunities throughout their time in the institution. Theoverall program incorporated their pre-existing social skills and strengths, and it taught themhow to succeed through the cultivation of professional support networks. How those supportnetworks changed over time and the resilience of those students that cultivated strong networksin persisting in collegiate activities has been reported elsewhere [10], [11], but the impact ofwork place relationships on those networks has not been fully reviewed. The RS program wasdesigned to prepare the students for life-long
3-credit (1-course)reduction, adding extra pressure on being able to teach a full curriculum. The followingsolutions were used to make things work initially: - Faculty members teaching courses outside of their engineering disciplines (e.g. a chemical engineer teaching Statics and Dynamics). - Cross-listing a Circuits course in both Physics and Engineering, taught by physics faculty. - Creation of a combined Engineering and Computing Ethics course, taught by a faculty member with a doctorate in Computer Science and Engineering. - Although the MATLAB programming course was designed by an Engineering faculty member, it was soon handed off to a Computer Science faculty member to allow the Engineering
, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to drawconclusions. [8]” Comparison to objective b from the a-k criteria shows that a major componentwas added to this outcome – that students must demonstrate engineering judgement in drawingconclusions for experiments. This is significant due to the strong emphasis placed on engineeringjudgement by working engineers who cite such judgements as the ultimate guide to designdecisions [9]. The inclusion of engineering judgement in this student outcome, and nowhere elseexplicitly in the outcomes (except for possibly a reference to judgement in outcome 4 whichdeals with ethics) gives an indication of ABET’s views about the purpose of laboratories asgoing beyond practical necessities.
