Similarly,visiting a potential employer site which employs many or all of the disciplines in the coursemakes it easier for students to envision how the skills they are developing will interface withthose of their peers in another discipline and how all the disciplines work together to developengineered solutions.One way that was simple to communicate which content “belongs” to a discipline was to usecolor codes on the schedule to show what activities/lessons apply to all disciplines(communications, ethics, engineering design process, etc.) and which are more specificallyfocused on a given discipline

Recently some courseshave been developed for undergraduate engineering students with some success demonstratingstudents’ increased global competencies even among students were are not able to travel, see forexample [5].This paper will report on the experience learned from a program that was developed to provideopportunities to practice engineering in a global context.

Did the virtual setting present an opportunity to reach a broader community?BackgroundEngineering education has experienced transitions before, often during large cultural shifts. Afterthe Second World War there was a significant transition in STEM curricula toward scientificintegration [3]. In the early 2000s the change in ABET requirements for ethics created anothersea change in engineering curricula [4]. The increase in active learning and evidence-basedinstructional practices has started a slower change in engineering education during the last 20years.Another example of

Dr. James Duderstadt's report,published in 2008, was part of the Millennium Project at The University of Michigan. The Duderstadt model mirrors the medical school training model credited with propellingadvancement in medical practice during the last century [7], where the Bachelor of Sciencedegree includes a broad-based curriculum of engineering design, entrepreneurship, businessacumen, project management, technology, ingenuity, and innovation, professionalcommunication, ethics, and social sciences.

intervention activity directly addresses our second andfourth goals: teach students to appreciate diversity in engineering and computer science andserve diverse populations in their professional work.Algorithmic Justice LeagueModern technologies continue to implement features that rely on human interfaces, e.g. afingerprint reader or facial recognition to unlock a phone. However, the consideration of diversepersons is often not foregrounded in the development of the underlying technologies that makethese features possible. As a result, diverse populations are not granted equal access to thesetechnologies and may be underserved by them.The purpose of this intervention is to develop student awareness about the ethical considerationsassociated with
students in somatic awareness exercises will enhance their empathicperspective-taking ability and ultimately their skill in ethical reasoning and engineering design”(p. 1769).Two specific design approaches have potential to accommodate the limitations mentioned above.The first approach is participatory design [38]. Participatory design “attempts to actively involvethe people who are being served through the design process to help ensure the designedproduct/services meet their needs” [38]. The goal is to “involve those who will become the usersthroughout the design development process to the extent that this is possible” ([38], p. 14). Thesecond approach is generative design [38]. Generative design approach “empowers everydaypeople to generate and
twenty to fifty percent of entering freshmen, according to Gordon,are undecided about their major, while seventy-five percent change their major at least once priorto matriculating [1]. Faculty mentorship is additionally indispensable as young adults willtransition into professional roles post-graduation, and in numerous cases, particularly in STEMrelated disciplines, ethical principles are necessary to maintain the public’s well-being. In thisregard, Johnson outlines that faculty mentorship in engineering fields is utilized to transmit values,cultural mores, and ethical principles to the engineering profession [4].According to Levinson, a mentorship role can exert a greater influence on student success due tothe relationship it builds between

The revitalization efforts focused around three basic groups or modules of materials. Thefirst is aligning the content and materials to support the university requirements of ethics,academic and personal success, and work habits while in college. The second focus is on helpingstudents develop the social support networks by connecting to faculty, to other students and withthe physical campus itself. The third is providing an

It is often espoused as an essential skill byengineering employers [4] but generally not reified or taught within undergraduate engineeringeducation.Current approaches to fostering adaptability in engineering emphasize experiential learningopportunities such as team-based projects, co-op/internships, and undergraduate research.However, these activities seldom provide formal adaptability training, and whether they nurtureor merely test adaptability is unclear. This project calls for adaptability to be explicitly taughtand assessed, much like other professional skills such as communication and ethics that havebeen added to ABET criteria [5

We included four groups of variables for analysis in light of the conceptual framework for thisstudy and used the general Input-Environment-Outcome framework to assess learning experience andoutcomes in postsecondary education [32, 33]. The focus of interest for the study was self-directedlearning. We included five measures—motivation for learning, time management, self-regulation,persistence, and help-seeking—to serve as the self-directed learning (SDL) indicators as theyrepresent the key characteristics of self-directed learners [10].

. Unfortunately,engineering educators generally find it difficult to foster critical thinking among their students.This work-in-progress paper describes a strategy to inculcate critical thinking ability inengineering graduates. Examples are taken from two core courses in the Materials andManufacturing stream.Several critical thinking models were explored, such as Gibbs’ reflective cycle model, Facione’smodel, Kronholm model, and King and Kitchener’s model. Paul and Elder’s (P-E) model forcritical thinking was found to be more suited for engineering. P-E model provides a good basisfor the way in which engineers think, and is especially suited for CT as it targets issues such ascreativity, design development, and professional and ethical issues.

While, considering that every stage of design is a prototype from astoried drawing to in-market solutions; iteration empowers the application of new thinking toseemingly stale issues. The keys to scaling design thinking to complex problems and complexteams involve aligning on a common understanding of the most important and most impactful useroutcomes to achieve (called Hills); and bringing the team and stakeholders into a loop of restlessreinvention where they reflect on work in a
