proficiencies and understanding of ethical issues andprofessional responsibility2. Furthermore, adopted assessment procedures have beensuccessfully applied using Senior Exit Surveys to assess student outcomes through acomprehensive and integrated approach using both direct and indirect measures3. Understandingstudents through perception surveys is useful to improving engineering pedagogy as a means ofproviding insight into student development occurring during their engineering education4.Embedded indicators are widely accepted as an effective means of assessing student achievementas compared to adopted performance standards5. Use of course-based embedded indicators,detailed grading rubrics, and graded student performance scores compared to
goal of developing“Changemaking Engineers”. This revised canon teaches technical skills within a contextualframework that includes humanitarian, sustainable, and social justice approaches. This requires acurriculum that includes a focus on student teamwork, a greater consideration of social factors,improved communication with diverse constituents, and reflection on ethical consequences ofdecisions and solutions. This broader perspective of engineering practice will produce graduateswho can address a wider range of societal problems bringing new perspectives to traditionalareas. In this paper, we review our recent efforts towards achieving this vision, focusing on thedevelopment of curricular materialsSummary of course materials developed and

Students still experiencecultural diversity, challenges with linguistic barriers, and differing norms and ethics similar to anexperience of longer duration.Global CompetencePresently the engineering industry is changing rapidly in terms of technology more than everbefore. Engineers are expected to keep up with the change of pace by constantly upgradingthemselves with technical engineering competence and to develop additional skillsets, includingglobal competence to survive in a global engineering environment. A key element to developglobal competence and perspective is
design solutions that meet specified needs;(3) an ability to communicate effectively to a variety of audiences;(4) an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities and make sound judgments;(5) an ability to function on a team, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives;(6) an ability to develop and conduct experimentation to evaluate their own project; and,(7) an ability to research solutions to problems as needed.Many of these goals form a template to help students learn and evaluate their own progress. Ingeneral, students like structure but it is equally important to allow them the opportunity to bothsucceed and fail.

. Those key elements of cooperative learning are highly required in multidisciplinaryindustrial environments and should be incorporated in designing interdisciplinary courses.There is an emerging understanding by many accrediting agencies that our students requirestronger career preparation. The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) hasidentified eight career readiness competencies: 1) Professionalism/Work ethic; 2) Oral/Writtencommunications; 3) Critical thinking/Problem solving; 4) Teamwork/Collaboration; 5)Leadership; 6) Digital technology; 7) Career management; 8) Global/Intercultural fluency [10].These competencies are echoed by our governing accrediting bodies, the Association to AdvanceCollegiate Schools of Business (AACSB
, increasing their motivation tolearn and persist when faced with failure or challenges, and they further develop an engineeringmindset. Consistent with the most recent Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET) [11], makerspaces may increase the ability to meet the expected student outcomes forengineering preparation programs [8]. Thus, makerspaces can be used to increase students’ability to apply STEM knowledge, conduct experiments, analyze the outcomes of thoseexperiments, work within constraints, work in teams, understand engineering as service tosociety, and understand their professional and ethical responsibilities. It is important to keep inmind many engineers working in large companies may never directly create a prototype as

Weare proud of this innovative, cross-disciplinary curriculum as solving future issues with social andeconomic components will require majors outside of the environmental sciences.The Minor in Sustainability is 18 hours (6 courses). Three of these courses can be selected as part of thedegree plan of most students if they choose wisely from the list of course options. For these three coursesstudents must take one course from each of three course areas. The areas include 1) environmentalscience fundamentals, 2) social and ethical considerations and 3) technical and business applications. An important addition to the technical

However, it is possible, somewhat, to shape engineering curricula throughsubject syllabi. This paper is concerned with the development of a subject syllabus inChemistry and Materials Technology with an emphasis on, what Felder and Brent1 to refer as,independent and contextual knowing. In independent knowing students are exposed to theattitude that a significant proportion of engineering knowledge is uncertain and tools of Page 12.495.3critical thinking and ethical attitudes are required in the decision-making process

This is now being address through several mechanisms. First, a seminarseries has been created to expose students to the real-life experiences of regional entrepreneurs.30The Ethics, Leadership, and Entrepreneurship Seminar is mandatory for all senior students intheir first semester of the capstone design sequence. Student teams are tasked with identifyingand inviting a regional entrepreneur to deliver a seminar session, working with the guest todevelop a topic/focus for their session, coordinating the actual seminar, and then taking theirguest to dinner to develop a

freshman engineering course, called “Exploring Engineering,” was created in 1992.The primary goals of the course were to introduce the students to engineering, to help them tochoose a major, and to develop basic computer literacy. The course consisted of two largelectures (attended by every student in the class) and one computer lab (in sections of 20 studentseach) every week. Three of the lectures were devoted to each of our four majors: civil,computer, electrical, and mechanical engineering. Other topics of importance to our studentswere interspersed between the lectures. These included study skills, time management, graphing,statistics, ethics, and engineering careers. Engineering alumni frequently spoke about theircareers and provided valuable
