Two to fourweeks would be a good start for a small group of bioengineering students to travel toanother country and interact with students there. A good example of this type of trip is aninitiative in the aerospace engineering department at Arizona State Univerisity – studentsfrom ASU collaborate with students from ITESM’s Monterrey campus to complete theirSenior Design projects. They communicate via teleconference and email throughout theyear and then spend three weeks together to assemble and present their completedproject.

Professor Orabi has taught courses in both undergraduate and graduate level Mechanical Vibrations and undergraduate level capstone design courses, thermodynamics, Measurement Systems, Engineering Mechanics and Introduction to Engineering. One of Professor Orabi’s most recent projects involves the development of learning modules. These modules provide undergraduate engineer- ing students with improved learning of basic, conceptually-difficult engineering concepts in the context of a basic knowledge of finite element analysis.Prof. Kyle A.

Critical EngagementIn this study, students were invited to participate in a survey to share their experiences using AItools during one semester in four courses. Thirty-five (35) Computer and Electrical Engineering(CEE) students at the University of Wisconsin-Stout responded to the survey describing their useof AI tools such as ChatGPT in their studies. The group included 15 sophomores and 20 seniorsenrolled in 4 different CEE courses titled “CEE-215 Electronics”, “CEE-405 Capstone I:Computer Engineering Design”, “CEE-410 Capstone II: Computer Engineering Design”, and“CEE-355 Applied Electromagnetics”. The survey featured nine questions, seven using a Likertscale to measure students' opinions about AI tools in their education. The Likert scale
application of relevant standards and design codes is integrated into project work and design theory. Section2A.23 deals with industrial relations and asks programs to describe any participation in “multi-stakeholder forums for the developmentof technical standards, codes, regulations or guidelines.” Programs must provide, as part of the sections dealing with facultyinformation, information on memberships in standards developing organizations and on participation on standards developmentcommittees. There are no comparable specific requests in the ABET self-study guidance [7]Canadian engineering colleges are asked to provide information relating to staff participation in standards development work at thenational or international level.

“the assessment tool(s) that will be used to assess studentlearning”25. There are both direct and indirect assessment measures. Direct measures ofassessment provide for the direct examination or observation of student knowledge or skillsagainst measurable performance criteria. These would include such instruments as writtenexams, oral exams, embedded questions in exams and assignments, portfolio analysis,papers/writing samples, simulated activities/case-studies, capstone projects, inside and outsideexaminers, and internship experiences. Indirect measures of assessment ascertain the opinion orself-report of the extent or value of learning experiences. Some examples of indirect measures of

Our students will graduatewith a BS in Engineering and have an exemplary undergraduate experience infused with the liberal arts. We strive to be a leader inundergraduate education with primary motivations being: innovation in the curriculum, effective learning methods, and an authentic liberalarts curriculum to educate the whole person, featuring a project-based curriculum that emphasizes creative design and communitypartnerships. Currently, the department has 7 faculty and 130 students (42% female and 20% minority). Our vision for our engineeringstudents is to help them become (a) leaders and agents of change
Session XXXX 10 Recommendations for Incorporating MetacognitionMetacognitive approaches should ideally be included into the engineering curriculum at all stages,from engineering concepts in the first freshman semester to capstone projects in the senior year.Project/Problem/Inquiry-Based approach to instruction is the best way to address this aspect. Forinstance, the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Penn State University has a course –Bicycle Dissection Labs – whose purpose is “To learn more about the most widely usedtransportation vehicle in the world - how it functions, how it evolved, and how to keep yours inbetter condition.” 17 The stability of a bicycle has also been discussed in physics literature.18 Sucha “hands-on

Most recently, the Software Development CaseStudy [8] project developed a set of case studies that can be used across the software engineeringcurriculum based upon the digital home. However, while testing materials were part of theproject, the materials were not focused specifically on verification and validation.A later NSF project, Collaborative Education: Building a Skilled Software Verification andValidation User Community [9], focused on developing active learning exercises for softwareengineering.

The paper also highlights threeinnovative high schools in the Waco area that are addressing these issues with limited success.Lastly, the paper outlines several new activities at Baylor university to encourage students tobecome engineers. One such program is the mentor program that is being undertaken by BaylorUniversity student organizations in engineering to address some of these secondary schools’needs.
