As part of the study, students characterize the microstructure ofthe material at room temperature, and at the series of test temperatures selected. Everythingproceeds normally until the super-eutectic peak temperature, rapidly-heated sample is pulled. Theunexpected result gets every ones attention, and starts to beg ethical questions. Groups typicallyfeel that they should repeat the test; because the initial consensus is that there was some sort ofprocedural or material problem with that particular sample. At this point, the

They do a beam deflection experiment toexplore some of the properties of a variety of materials that might be used in a bicycle. Theygather and analyze data on static and dynamic forces on the bicycle’s components as they sit onand ride a bicycle with strain gages on the front fork. Students consider how each of the topicsthey study affects the bicycle’s design. Student teams also
atmosphere of trust and confidentiality.4 This could potentially open upcertain legal and ethical issues (e.g., how does one respond to blatantly racist remarks in a journalentry?).12 Third, grading is problematic. It is time consuming and difficult to objectively andconstructively evaluate journals. 12 And finally, although a number of authors claim that journalingappeals to multiple learning styles, 3 the fact remains that journaling may simply not work for somestudents.12 Few studies to date have addressed this issue from a research standpoint. If thesedifficulties are not addressed, students are likely to revolt against journals and may even hardentheir dislike for writing (and thus defeat the purpose!).3.

In the third section, we willprovide more detail of using robot as a tool to introduce Mechanical Engineering. In thefourth and last section, we will highlight some impacts and benefits of the project. 2. Freshman Clinic Generally speaking, the freshman clinic corresponds to the Introduction toEngineering in many other universities, though in a unique format. It consists of twoparts. The first one is the teaching of basic engineering skills and ethics that will be Page 7.990.1essential to students’ success or even survival in engineering
agencies, research and development funding,venture investment, and the partnering between the university and industry. Another premise adopted by the program is the relationship between business and thesocial aspects of life. The program will stimulate projects that could be based on the principlethat business ethics and honest is in average more profitable. Policies for the Program a) Policies for the courses, activities and subjects: 1. To create conditions to attract students with different backgrounds with interest inentrepreneurship related to science and technology. 2. To hire instructors with experiences in innovation and people able to drive thestudents in a risk taken behavior. 3. Select disciplines

, the lecture also covers other, less obvious, but importantengineering skills. These instructions include basic and general aircraft -design principles,technical report writing, presentation methods, as well as professionalism and ethics. Besides theformal lecturing, the students skills and abilities in these subjects are constantly challengedthrough their design and fabrication activities.Design ActivitiesAbout four to six students make up a design group. In these groups, the students design andanalyze complete sailplanes or parts of them. The theoretical work includes performanceanalyses of modern high-performance gliders, their stability and control, as well as theirstructures. Other examples of that activity includes the design of testing

No credit is granted for the internship thatcounts toward the total of 150.There is strong anecdotal evidence that graduates from Thai engineering schools generally dowell in graduate schools anywhere in the world.Professional RegistrationThe same Council of Engineering that accredits academic programs also regulates professionalregistration of engineers at four levels; Associate Engineer, Fellow Engineer, Charter Engineer,and Corporate Engineer. Registration as an Associate Engineer requires a degree in engineeringwith a minimum of a C grade in each of ten specified subjects plus passing an intensive two daycourse in each of the following areas: Ethics

The USLPfinesses this by placing the formal learning in a professional context. Site learning provides anenriched learning environment. The goal is to enable students to achieve the same technicalcapability as if they were studying on campus, but to add value to this through the developmentof other graduate attributes. These attributes - professionally and ethically responsible,appreciation of the social, cultural and environmental context of practice, etc. - are the sorts ofabilities that cannot be acquired by attending

Apart fromsupporting Criterion 3 student outcomes, the PBL-based course offering also contributes tomeeting the Criterion 5 (Curriculum [8]) and applicable Program Criteria [8] requirements suchas project management, public safety, professional and ethical responsibilities, and quality andcontinuous improvement.Student CommentsThe process of developing, implementing, and testing a project from scratch for the first timewas a valuable experience for most students. The majority of students were pleased with theproject management structure, though a few suggested that the project duration be extended tofour weeks (instead of the currently allocated three weeks), to help them transition into thesemester-long capstone design
opportunities. Students were engaged inintroductory research tasks as a bigger team to establish a baseline of basic cybersecurity knowledgeand research framework. Then, they were grouped into teams. The team approach was used toreflect a “real-world” work environment where student develop their ability to collaborate on a teamand function as both leaders and team members. In addition to hands-on work in the laboratory,students participated in weekly meetings centered on different topics of interest to undergraduates.These meetings included guest speakers who presented on different research topics and jobopportunities in their fields, lessons on how to read research papers, the responsible conduct ofresearch/ethics, how to apply to graduate school
ethical guidelines and practices [6].Purpose:This project seeks to advance combat-casualty patient care through a more detailed, objectiveapproach using a DSS tool that promotes system time-efficiency and decision accuracy whileconsidering a range of pertinent factors. The prototype tool aims to operate within the currentNDMS processes and hospital systems to advance patient care, specifically servingconflict-related casualties. The intent is to contribute to existing literature on patient triagedecision-making methods.Scope and Limitations:The scope of this project is limited to casualties expected to result from a conventional war witha near-peer adversary outside the United States. Also, the scope is restricted to the patientdistribution
withconsiderations on intellectual property and research conduct, universities from a variety of sizesand demographics continue to adopt policies for standardized and ethical AI (Kansas, 2024).Universities also support training initiatives for faculty to complement these guidelines, such aseducation training (Dyer, 2024) and the Ole Miss AI Winter Institute for Teachers (Watkins,2023).Student-focused: Universities also make efforts to provide students with concrete roadmaps ofwhat to do and what not to do in education (Latrobe, 2024). For career focused usage uponentering the workforce, companies provide services for understanding how to use AI (LinkedIn,2024).
