The statistical analysis methods of means, materiality, and Cronbach’salpha will be used to assess the value of the survey. One of the challenges faced by the authors isfinding sufficient data to perform a statistical analysis. It may, in fact, take multiple academicyears to have statistically significant data. The survey itself will allow the authors to examine theimpact of the flipped classroom and the utilization of multiple faculty members in such a class.ConclusionsIn this Work-In-Progress paper, the authors have outlined the current research into the flippedclassroom, discussed the

This papergives an account of partnering in course development.MotivationThe more recent discussions in this partnering paradigm shift concern how industry could orshould influence curriculum. At the 2013 Conference of American Society for EngineeringEducation (ASEE), Chinchilla investigated the question as a matter of ethics and saving industrytraining costs 1.

Capstone design courses included microaggression and implicit bias training,ensuring students developed awareness of DEI in team dynamics. Civil Engineering engagedstudents through external speakers, DEI-focused discussions, and student-led skits, whileComputer and Electrical Engineering emphasized ethical responsibility and inclusive projectwork. Mechanical Engineering introduced an "inclusivity meter" to assess classroom climate andpiloted a course on inclusive design.Faculty development efforts were equally robust. Professors attended DEI training sessions andengaged in university
extreme environments, to name a few. This paper is a collaboration between a mathematics professor and a mechanical engineering professor, combin-ing expertise in applied mathematics and mechanical engineering applications to create an innovative pedagogicalapproach that bridges the gap between mathematical theory and materials engineering practice.2.2 Connection to ASEE Themes and the USAFA Leader of Character FrameworkThis work contributes to the ASEE theme of Inclusive Teaching Pedagogy through: • Course Design: Integrating Laplace transforms as a fundamental tool for modeling non-steady-state diffusion in engineering materials. • Engineering Ethics and Professional Practice: Encouraging critical thinking beyond formula

However, the major portion of the designated time is intended to be used as lab time so thatstudents can work on their projects. Other than the lectures, the instructor meets with each groupseparately at least three times during the semester. The purpose of these meetings is for the teamto update the instructor on the progress of the project. Therefore, if any help is

This concern makes job shadowing an ideal experiential learning program becauseit gives those a shadowing experience while not requiring the shadow participants to have theexpertise needed to perform tasks.A pertinent observation found in medical shadowing programs is that there are ethical concernswhen shadowing physicians during patient interactions [8] [9]. Namely, programs must considerensuring that participants follow confidentiality expectations. This concern can be handled byhaving students sign confidentiality agreements and complete HIPAA training. However, there arestill concerns that even if patients give informed consent to the student's presence, it may affect thehonesty of the interaction. Therefore, the potential

Gen Y (born 1980 – 1996) and Gen Z (born 1997 – 2010s) workers aremostly leaving for non-financial reasons (ethical, cultural, relational and personal factors) [16].Some of the suggested reasons are related to employers and work cultures. For example, someare leaving because of toxic corporate cultures [17]. While this is not a new phenomenon, lowemployment makes it much easier to leave toxic workplaces. Some are leaving because of thelack of opportunities at their previous employers [18]. With low unemployment and remoteworking, many more opportunities are available that may not have previously been an option.Some other reasons that have been suggested include: Those who got COVID are much more likely to quit [19], New skills

This interdisciplinary approach enables students to developprofessional skills in project management, ethics, design, teamwork, and more through hands-onprojects. With diverse team compositions, students focus on various technical aspects, such asComputer-Aided Design (CAD), 3D printing, assembly, testing, electrical, and softwarecomponents.This paper highlights the incorporation of an Internet of Things (IoT) platform into the second-year PBL course. Students were introduced to a low-cost ($6) microcontroller with wirelessinternet access and provided with prototype Python programs. These programs enabled studentsto create their own wireless access points and simple web servers

Similarly, Jenny and Warren appreciated being able tospend additional time with their families in times of celebration and religious/cultural holidays,and still be able to attend class. Such ‘informal’ accommodations also allowed them to avoidgoing through official channels and University services for getting accommodations, whichmight often be slow and backed up under high volumes of requests. These, combined with otherexperiences of students where the option of joining remotely meant that they could safely attendclass when they were unwell or did not have reliable travel options, speaks highly of the equityprovided by the HyFlex modality. Such a modality allowed us to practice ethics of care towardsstudents’ physical and

The first escape room was centered on a hazardous waste incinerationproblem that included, the Ideal Gas Law, gaussian dispersion, and risk assessment. This escaperoom was used in our Solid and Hazardous Waste course to help our seniors prepare for theFundamentals of Engineering Exam. It was also piloted with two faculty teams during a summerteaching seminar. The second escape room was built around an engineering ethics case study inour capstone design course, which will be discussed in the companion paper.
