Abstract Laboratory safety poses inherent legal and ethical responsibilities that all engineeringeducation programs in the United States (U.S.) must address. However, developing safer habitsin the creation and testing of engineering design solutions starts long before students enter post-secondary engineering education programs. P-12 engineering education programs are a criticalpartner to develop greater safety awareness and safer habits among prospective engineers andour future workforce. This research utilized data from a national safety study involving 718 P-12engineering educators from 42 U.S. states, specifically focusing on the subsample of 117teachers from middle Atlantic (mid-Atlantic) states. Analyses found mid-Atlantic P

We propose to redesign theundergraduate curriculum to integrate security concerns and concepts during early phases ofembedded systems design. The goal of this new curriculum is to create new learning materials andteaching strategies, which will re-enforce life learning skills that incorporate security concepts inthe design of embedded systems. The curriculum will include a research component to assess thestudent’s learning skills. Through this curriculum, undergraduate students will learn the basics ofintegrated and collaborative research as well as research ethics. The key educational componentsthat need to be

From $99 billion in 2020 to almost $460billion in 2027. This is a global movement for improving the quality of life and tackling some ofthe most challenging issues such as climate change, by using information and communicationtechnology Universities have a critical role in growing implementation through training theworkforce with cutting-edge skills and knowledge and conducting

However, the development offaculty members’ interest in and teaching skills related to EML were based on the broad array ofFD opportunities provided.Example 1: Sustainability, Ethics, and Professional PracticeSustainability, Ethics, and Professional Practice is a course that most engineering students takeduring the sophomore year or later at the University of New Haven. The course is divided into 14modules of which 10 focus on the different engineering aspects of sustainability. The course wasoriginally developed with a theoretical term project of greening the engineering building byreducing the energy

Introduction to engineering (EGGN-100) at California State University, Fullerton (CSUF),is offered to first-year and undecided engineering majors every fall semester. Besides theobjectives mentioned earlier, one of the primary goals of this PBL course is to “introduceundecided freshman engineering students to major projects in Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, andComputer Engineering projects so that students can make an informed choice about their major.”The course starts with an active introduction to the engineering profession, different engineeringdisciplines, engineering ethics, team building, and engineering

Whilenot an exhaustive list of undergraduate majors offered by the COE, these four broad cohortsenabled the SBP to cover major areas of interest to participants.Engineering presentations by Texas A&M University-Kingsville faculty addressed introductoryengineering topics such as the design process, importance of math for engineers, use of computerprograms, professional registration and public safety, engineering ethics, and engineering careerpaths. These were distributed throughout the 3-week period. The organizing faculty decided thatworking or retired engineers from the community and alumni from the COE would be invited tospeak individually or as group panelists about

Addingsustainability tasks into their proposed designs encourages the students to think about the largerimpact of their projects. Consideration of sustainability within the undergraduate capstone designis linked to professional ethics for all civil engineers, as noted in the BOK3: “striving to complywith the

critically examine social issues and situate students within a community setting. CEL also enhances the engagement with a community to address and embodies ethical and effective service principles, which result in producing reciprocal benefits for students, faculty, and community partners. Thus, CEL is commonly connected to innovation, learning, and partnership and all these together make a better life. Through mutually beneficial partnerships within the community, students cultivate their identity as lifelong learners and active citizens. CEL promotes a culture of active and engaged learners by integrating opportunities for students to apply construction theories and knowledge through real-world experiences

In the Job Outlook 2019 Survey, employers ranked critical thinking, oral and writtencommunication, teamwork and collaboration skills, and professionalism/work ethic as more thanessential competencies in new hires [3]. While the training in this project did not address thecritical thinking competency, it addressed the other top three skills cited in the NACE survey:oral and written communication, teamwork and collaboration skills, and professionalism/workethic.Recognizing that we had two groups from distinctly different disciplines that shared a

addition, two experimental studies were carried out to understand differentinsights into human-robot collaboration and the task fulfillment process [7], [23]. The findingsfrom the studies highlighted the importance of preparing students and the engineering workforceto develop teamwork competencies for an effective hybrid collaboration in all the three levels.However, with the increase in autonomous system Hoeschl et al.

strategies to create a conflict resolution plan (based on the case study scenario)1 Ethics approval: Office of Research Ethics #41447 • Considering that some types of conflict can be productive, how did this influence the decision-making in your team? How might this influence the way you approach future teamwork? • Consider the nine attributes of effective teams, which of the attributes may have been lacking in your current team? What steps did you take as a team to strengthen and improve these attributes?A thematic analysis was conducted on these reflection reports to understand where students sawvalue in the conflict modules that they participated in.
