EMEs have not necessarily starteda new business (although they may have), they are, most often, working in established small- andmedium-sized firms, many work in Fortune 1000 firms [1].The Kern Entrepreneurship Education Network (KEEN), a collection of twenty-one privateengineering schools across the US, in partnership with Target Training International (TTI), aworldwide leader in personal and professional assessments, is undertaking the KEEN – TTIPerformance DNA Assessment Project.

New interdisciplinary courses are needed, and students should be given an opportunity to work on a capstone project or final year dissertation thesis specifically in the area of materials and AI/machine learning. In fact, whenever possible, collaboration with a computing department or a computing school should be pursued. Such collaboration will enrich students’ experience and expand the selection of courses students can read in order to specialise and be competent in this niche field. 4.2.2 Materials and Sustainability Materials sustainability is cited as one of the emerging trends in materials engineering industry through our stakeholders’ analysis.

The disagreement between students and experts possibly shows thatfurther exposure to real-world scenarios may be needed in engineering ethics courses. Thesekinds of disagreement may have implications for algorithm bias instruction as well becausestudents are not trained to respond to cases of systemic bias but may be responding to scenariosfrom an individual perspective.A paper by Bowers, Maccarone, & Ricco [7] discussed their experiences integrating ethical,legal and societal issues within a senior design computing capstone program.

Pennsylvania.While the benefits to the students are vital, the impact of a co-op program goes beyond thestudents. Industry can gain benefit by obtaining staffing for projects at a substantially reducedrate (and typically without the benefits overhead). Moreover, by hiring interns and co-opstudents, industry can develop a recruiting system that allows them to make better hiringdecisions than can be done via a resume and interview alone.The benefit also extends to the higher education institutions. An organized co-op program canhelp the institution develop relationships with regional and national industry. Thoserelationships can be valuable in many ways.

A paper in the Journal of Engineering Education notes that amovement to move to higher course content on manufacturing in both of these disciplines isneeded8. Many current engineering programs do not emphasize the marriage of design andmanufacturing in a modern industrial technical workforce.Many research studies have assessed the quality of exposure to manufacturing through the senior“Capstone” design project course.

number of authors have urged a moreintegrated approach to developing the whole range of technical and professional skills requiredof engineers (Felder and Brent 2003, Shuman, Besterfield-Sacre, and McGourty 2005). It may beespecially important that programs design courses so that each of the learning outcomes is ad-dressed in more than one or two courses (Felder and Brent 2003). So, outcomes associated withethical responsibility might be taken up in a stand-alone course in ethics and in core engineeringcourses and in the capstone design course, just as other professional skills might be integrated intowhat is otherwise a stand-alone ethics course. As a step toward the goal of greater integration of ethics-related outcomes into the

might be all but one. In this method,students can also choose to work towards the grade they want in order to spend their timeelsewhere (Nilson, 2015). Another instructor might use a mix of traditional grading and pass/failgrading. For example, to earn an A in a course, a student may have to receive an average examscore of 80%. The instructor can also set bars for specific grade levels such as a C resulting fromfailing a peer evaluation. In all of these systems, missing one element on the overall gradechecklist results in a lower grade.As all elements become pass or fail, the specifications for an assignment must be made veryclear. Writing good specifications is a lot like writing good requirements for a project. Just likerequirements in
