Thissemester, the university decided to convert the WU’s to W’s to negate the WU’s adverse impacton students’ GPAs. A student, who is enrolled on the census date, and does not officiallywithdraw from a course but fails to complete it, receives a WU. The NC stands for No Credit,and the students who failed, their grades automatically changed to NC. The students who got Dhad the option to petition for changing their grade to NC. Due to the challenging COVID-19related situations, the university administration believed that these would be the most ethical andcompassionate decisions. As can be seen, five students withdrew from the class eitherthemselves or by not showing

According to Zhu(2017),Professor of computer science at UCLA, artificial intelligence can be summarized intosix main fields: computer vision, natural language understanding and communication,cognition and reasoning, robotics, game and ethics, and machine learning.[3] Inaddition, another scholar (Chen, 2018) pointed out that artificial intelligence is usuallydivided into three categories[4]: (1) special artificial intelligence, which focuses on theresearch of one or more special fields and functions. At present, it is in the stage ofrapid development and has achieved rich results, such as computer vision and speechrecognition. Most

In addition to core research activities, REUprograms generally provide multiple enrichment and professional development activities forparticipants. While the nature and the number of professional development activities vary fromone REU program to another, the most common activities include ethics and safety training,research and industry seminars, GRE workshops

Along with ourresults, we share ideas for improving the project.Methods Our Civil and Environmental Engineering junior project course consists of studentsmajoring in Civil and Environmental Engineering. In Fall 2021, 26 students took the course. The course intends to provide opportunities for students to engage engineering challengesin real-world contexts. We intend for students to advance their design, communication, andteamwork skills through hands-on experiences. We also aim for students to improve theirunderstanding of the professional and ethical aspects of engineering projects. Every fall thecourse features three open-ended
certification bodies—typically nonprofit organizations, professional associations, industry/trade organizations, or businesses— based on an individual demonstrating, through an examination process, that she or he has acquired the knowledge, skills, and abilities required to perform a specific occupation or job. Depending on the certification body, they may be called industry or professional certifications. Although training may be provided, certifications are not tied to completion of a program of study as are certificates. They are time limited and may be renewed through a recertification process. In addition, some certifications can be revoked for a violation of a code of ethics (if applicable) or proven incompetence after

Professional responsibility is modeledand practiced throughout as timeliness, respect, appropriate dress, appropriate language are allmade explicit with continuous feedback coming from faculty and staff. Teamwork skills areprovided in seminars and practiced in design teams.

” is far more than a single event, program, or course. These includerecruitment and admissions efforts; new student orientation programs; welcome week activities,rituals, and traditions; first-year, summer, or common reading programs; first-year seminars;academic advising; academic support centers; supplemental instruction; undergraduate researchinitiatives; learning communities; service learning; and residence education initiatives.To meaningfully integrate what students already know, do and value, into the curricular and co-curricular programs, deliberate efforts are made to create a framework where we integrate thefollowing six principles of undergraduate learning: 1) critical thinking, 2) values and ethics, 3)core communication and
realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political,ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability." [4] Various approaches havebeen found to be successful through the assessment of sustainability knowledge and skillslearned in activities, modules, and courses and across the civil engineering curriculum [5].Among those approaches, integrating sustainability in the capstone design is one of the mosteffective teaching approaches. A capstone course is an integral part of Civil Engineeringundergraduate education. It requires students to apply knowledge and skills acquired in earliercourse work from a Civil Engineering curriculum in a design that solves real-world problems ormimics real-world projects [6

A consent form wasthen sent out through email detailing the specificities of the survey process, the aims of the study,as well as a confirmation to participate willingly, and was completed by the interestedparticipant. Participants were informed that the duration of the study would take approximately30 minutes to an hour and how their data would be used.
