engineering departments themselves remain pri-marily concerned with how design directly impacts their teaching and interactions with students.As architects, engineers, and planners for more than a dozen collegiate engineering-departmentbuildings in the past decade, SmithGroupJJR has helped develop a series of best practices re-lated to facility design in this new era. While not the only firm to explore them, SmithGroupJJRhas organized these new best practices into five distinct trends that encourage active participa-tion, collaboration, and even spontaneity, reflecting an underlying ethic of student engagementfrom the freshman level up. We present them here, provide real-world examples from Smith-GroupJJR’s portfolio, and also propose methods of

This paper presents our study with differentlab delivery formats, including preparation, implementation, survey data, observations, andfindings.Course BackgroundIntroduction to Engineering in our institution is a 3 credit course. The course includes one 1-hourlecture, and two 2-hour labs/week. In the lecture, students develop the skills needed during theirstudy of engineering. Topics include task/time management, effective use of notes, engineeringresearch, oral and written communications, problem-solving techniques, ethics and professionalresponsibility and institute resources. In the laboratory, students work in teams to complete avariety of engineering tasks.Each class is set to 85 students maximum. The lecture is held at a

becoming increasingly common in the engineering education field.The field of Science and Technology studies has explored these interconnections for years.Thought leaders Baillie and Vanasupa design contextualized concepts for materials sciencestudents that introduce materials characterization, semiconductors, polymers, composites, andother common material science topics [5]. Others seek to bring sustainable engineering practicesinto the materials science classroom with short modules over the semester, a model much likethose presented in greater detail in this paper [6]. Some develop full courses that blendtechnology in materials science with ethics and social responsibility [7-9].The integration of the social and technical is also valued by ABET
group activities. The course works with an organizational real-life counterpart (acompany, the State or an NGO). At the end of the course the student will be able to understandand apply qualitative research methods to inform innovative design solutions. The focus of thecourse is to prepare students to face ill-defined issues using tools to understand the humaninterface and culture and to synthesize in innovative opportunities; to identify a qualitativeresearch question; to detect and delimit opportunities for innovation using tools to tackle ill-defined issues and imperfect knowledge; and to develop an ethical standpoint and criticalthinking on the social responsibilities of an engineer-designer” (Pontifia Universidad Católica,2018).

veteran hiring as more charity than thestrategic boon that it is: 2) “I have worked as a recruiter that hired strictly veterans for manufacturing roles and have also been with two software companies that targeted veterans. I am also a veteran myself. I think the biggest challenge I've seen is convincing hiring managers to hire for soft skills (i.e. leadership, work ethic, etc.) when they're used to hiring for specific experience. Mentorship is also huge in the military. I was very used to my superior officers mentoring me, giving me books to read, always developing me professionally. I've personally had a lot of veterans voice their disappointment because they come to

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. Multiple workshops per week address topicssuch as: inclusion, ethical action, leadership, reflection, management, happiness, life-workbalance, overcoming adversity, and communication. Each week during the EDP students writethree one-page learning journal entries, most of

This is our university’s motto [1]. It fits well with theintents and purposes of service-learning for students. Service-Learning has long been proven tobe an effective tool for engineering education [2], [3], [4]. In a National Academy of Engineering(NAE) report titled Educating the Engineer of 2020 - Adapting Engineering Education to theNew Century, service-learning is listed as one of six

These engineering traits have also been recommended in publications such as TheEngineer of 2020 [2]. In this report attributes of the future engineer are explicitly described aspossessing strong analytical skills, practical ingenuity, creativity, good communication,leadership roles such as in business and management, demonstrated levels of ethics
