During the trip we really never had much of an idea what was going on due to the itinerary constantly changing. This was not necessarily Dr. XXX's fault though, as we learned that changing plans last minute is culturally normal in the Middle East.”Suggestions for enhanced communication between the lecture and lab professors have surfaced asa valuable lesson from the initial implementation of this course

Students described the benefits oflearning an effective socially engaged design process to plan their projects, engaging withstakeholders to gather important information regarding their needs, learning recommendedpractices in idea generation, and creating prototypes before coding. On the other hand, studentsdescribed perceived challenges including lacking experience in socially engaged design skillsthat may impact their ability to implement skills from the workshops effectively, identifying andconnecting with stakeholders who could provide meaningful information, and

, 2024 Novel Approach Designing Interview Protocols with Generative Large Language Models to Study Mental Models and Engineering DesignAbstractThis paper describes the use of AI to support the initial development of an interview protocoldesigned to elicit engineering students’ mental models of socio-ecological-technological systems(SETs) and how these models influence their design decisions. The protocol was created for astudy that addresses the need to prepare engineering students to design sustainable solutionssuitable for a world afflicted by climate change. Three frameworks informed the creation of theprotocol: (1) mental models theory, (2) theory of planned behavior, and (3) social-ecological

In an assessment context, writingnatural language and codes are potentially even more similar: both are done in response to aprompt that sets out expectations for the text to be produced, are evaluated according to specificcriteria and, if the required text is sufficiently complex, students are likely to create plans forproduction that they then execute. Drawing from research on keystroke log analysis of naturallanguage writing, we ask the research question: how do task complexity and characteristics relateto student programming process and performance?

While this can impose limiting curricular constraints, it can also be seen as anopportunity to develop a unique educational product.

Additionally,the Environmental Policy Act 1 (NEPA), requires governmental agencies to perform apublic scoping process that includes making plans available for public review, sponsoringdedicated time for public comment, and holding at least one public meeting. As such,engineering professionals who work for both government agencies and private firms areresponsible for facilitating and participating in public meetings at some point during theircareer. To prepare for this eventuality, civil engineers must be able to facilitate effective,productive public meetings. The research and curriculum development presented in thispaper is a first step to preparing new engineers for this important task

Therefore, one recognizesthe fact that any strategic plan for continuous ongoing assessment should have a clear vision ofwhat the university needs to assess and how the process will be implemented. In reality, themethodology used in designing a continuous assessment plan should actually direct and raisequestions about the significance and effectiveness of instructional delivery techniques.
