competent field. The National Academy of Engineering, for example,have stated in their vision of “The Engineer of 2020” that engineering activities should beframed in the context of rapidly moving technological changes, global interconnection ofresources, and an increasingly diverse and multidisciplinary population of individuals involvedin or affected by engineering developments. Among the NAE aspirations for the engineeringfield is “a future where engineers are prepared to adapt to changes in global forces and trendsand to ethically assist the world in creating a balance in the standard of living for developing anddeveloped countries alike”3. This vision reflects the need to embrace global competencies framedwithin ethical considerations, where
the socio-economic dynamicsand business culture globally even to succeed locally. Recognizing the need, many engineeringschools in the U.S. have started offering ethics and study abroad programs to their undergraduatestudents. Our research shows that selection of countries for study abroad programs have widenedsignificantly in the recent years. For example, in the nineties, the US Universities were offeringstudy abroad programs mostly in European and few other developed countries in the Asia pacificregion. In recent years, that list has grown significantly including many other countries aroundthe world like South Africa, Brazil, Russia, China, Chile, and India to name a few. This paperpresents a survey of select U.S. engineering schools
underserved communities globally.Prior research shows that difficulties often arise as students arrive unprepared to addressthe cultural and technical challenges international work entails. For example, oneparticular case study in Gary Downey’s book highlighted the challenges inimplementation of a program to connect student engineers with underserved communitiesin an international setting. Differences in culture and language coupled with thegeographical distance compounded made the project untenable and it had to stop. Someof the reasons she cited included that “the large body of knowledge in the developmentarea was not readily accessible or available to engineers,” and students did not activelyseek out the ethical and social understanding necessary
engineering (e.g., teamwork, communication, ethics, inclusiveness anddiversity, new ideas/business development). The development of these professional skills arealso integrated into all courses within the curriculum.Curriculum Design Approach We are using a combination of instructional systems and the “Backwards Approach (BA)”to design GalvanizeU/UNH curricula. As a field, instructional design is historically andtraditionally rooted in cognitive and behavioral psychology, though recently constructivism(learning theory) has influenced thinking in the field. Instructional Systems Design (ISD) orsimply instructional design8 is the practice of creating "instructional experiences which make theacquisition of knowledge and skill more efficient
Engineering Design Service Projects various Public Policy Professional Organizations various Ethical Responsibility Engineer Interactions various Lifelong Learning“Students-Teach-Students,” These lectures place responsibility on students to teach new coursematerial to their peers. Students are assigned a course topic, which necessitates considerablepreparation and understanding in order to teach their peers. Student presenters are encouraged toprovide handouts, notes, and/or PowerPoint presentations, plus use approaches to keep theirclassmates engaged. The professor is on-hand to assist students through lecture material, ifnecessary
questions and essays, and if that can be available to the students from the first day, the iterations to conceptualize the subjects as well as the skills to solve problems will be much more meaningful. It may sound that we are teaching for a test, but if the problems are conceptual with applications in mind that is fine. 5. Teaching engineering needs to be connected to the philosophical basis of engineering and reflect on this connection. We need to teach within the pragmatic and ethical framework of engineering . The instructor needs to have strong connection to historical events and 13 relevant applications and encourage reflection on these aspects. The concepts specifications, what is a good
not be true. We have added some catalyst strategies during class study, the observation is very interesting. Third, collaboration and ethics. WReSTT-CyLE is an environment that emphasizes the collaborative learning strategy through a team based approach. At the same time, as an online learning environment, out of class study would be suitable for students and is one of the main purposes of this project. Does the organic collaboration bring efficient results and learning outcomes? Does gamification emphasize independent and team wide learning? Is each team learning on an independent based XP? If some of the answers to the above questions are no, how do we adjust the bias in the results?After the study, we retrieved the data and
otherindividuals might mine existing qualitative data does not exist. In this paper, we present such anoverview. We provide the example of how one existing qualitative data set was used for threedissertation studies. We show how each study had its own considerations for the use of that dataset, and how those considerations could help others identify whether a data set is useful for themwhile they are mining qualitative data.There are two main reasons that researchers should consider qualitative data mining. Seale[3]notes that secondary analyses like those that are performed through qualitative data mining arebeneficial to both the researcher and the research community in general, stating that, “It is botheconomical and ethical to analyze existing data

Creat[ing] a vibrant campus learning community that blends curricular and cocurricular learning opportunities and capitalizes on the roles of all constituents (faculty, staff, and students) in promoting student learning.” (p. 19)In the summer of 2011, the College of Engineering at Michigan State University (MSU)introduced a comprehensive professional development program to complement its existingundergraduate summer research internships.12–16 As part of this EnSURE (Engineering SummerUndergraduate Research Experience) program, students participated in weekly professionaldevelopment seminars and periodic

No further instructions were given, otherthan some discussions occurring if there was a problem just like in the case of editing .stl files.The student faced a large time commitment over several months but acquired strong knowledgeand great amount of skills in 3D scanning, 3D data manipulation, and 3D printing, along withAFO design knowledge due to her strong work ethics and will to learn. The student’scompetency and confidence also improved. After completing this project, she took an internshipposition with a high-tech tissue simulation/phantom company and performed successfully withthe skill and knowledge gained from this project.

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.

can provideopportunities that challenge students out of their comfort zones, allow for problem solving in adiverse group and subsequently provide a taste of globalization [8]. 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

, epistemic notions ofprofessional engineering need to be de-constructed. This is a large project and beyond thescope of this paper. 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
