(PAL) or Peer AssistedStudy Sessions (PASS). The implementation of the SI model at UMKC was deemed successfuland expanded to other courses [1], [3]. As of 2008, the SI model is used in 29 countries and over1500 universities [4]. SIs are considered a resource for both students and instructors to enhanceundergraduate courses. These PAL models, where certain students are selected to assist inenhancing education, were implemented at the University of South Alabama in the College ofEngineering (COE). The SI model is associated with the following courses: Statics, Mechanicsof Materials, Economics and Ethics, Dynamics, Engineering Thermodynamics, ElectricalCircuits, Fluid Mechanics, and Material and Energy Balances.

At its core, ICF emphasizes the partnership between a coach and client, and the importanceof ongoing reflective practice and situational awareness [20]. ICF awards credentialing for coachpractitioners which involves building coaching hours with clients, engaging in required traininghours, and working towards assessments [21], [22].However, access to professional coach training is realistically not accessible for all those infaculty development – it requires funding, time, and long-term commitment toward thisprofessional practice. In consequence, members of the research team engaged in varying levelsof ICF coach training to inform and create the first

Typically,this course is taught during the Fall semester for all first-year engineering students (nearly 500students). Teamwork is integrated into the course in two, multi-week team projects throughoutthe semester. For many years we have followed the recommendations by Oakley et al. [4]regarding team formation, establishing expectations, instruction in
engineering self-efficacy levels.Data Analysis Pre-test and post-test scores on the TESS questionnaire were compared to determinewhether there were significant changes in participants' engineering self-efficacy after completingthe course. Statistical analysis techniques, such as paired t-tests and ANOVA, were employed toanalyze the data and identify any significant differences. Moreover, the relative percent gainedwas also calculated by comparing the difference in mean scores between consecutive years andexpressing it as a percentage of the initial mean score for each construct. This approach allowedfor a standardized comparison of improvement rates across different constructs and over time. This study adhered to ethical guidelines
revolutionizing logistics. It enables newstrategies (e.g., optimal route networks and modes, end-to-end supply chain visibility, customertracking), tactics (optimal truckloads, vehicle choices), and operations (real-time tracking,handling weather, traffic, emergencies, failures). CEAT-enabled freight logistics are synergisticwith these digital trends and can drive these new strategies, tactics, and operations. These includemerged warehouse and fleet logistics, real-time control, compatible data formats, and self-adaptive supply chains. However, there are risks and ethical issues to consider, similar to otherAI and big data technologies, such as the intrusive monitoring of drivers and their states of mind.Industry needs accurate market predictions based
in the taught programs, which could be adapted tovarious working environments. Thus, the need for assessment of taught skills and the ability ofthe learner to translate them becomes an inevitable component of teaching-learning assessments[5].Various studies have highlighted the increasing importance of transferable skills in civilengineering education and their impact on the success of graduates in meeting industry demands[4,6,7]. Some of the widely recognized transferable skills are communication, teamwork,problem-solving, critical thinking, leadership skills, ethics, and adaptability [4,8]. Thecurriculum models used for the development of transferable skills are embedding, bolting-on,and integrating. In the “embedding” strategy, the
sample identified asfirst-generation students and 8% identified as international students.Instrument & Data CollectionTable 2 describes the instruments used in the survey. The survey included four sections. The firstsection utilized the Learning Activities Survey (LAS) aimed at measuring the extent of eachstage of transformative learning experienced by students in their first-year engineering courses[13]. The second section collected data regarding the extent of changes the students experiencedin their habits of mind and the factors that may have influenced those changes. Cranton [15]conceptualized six dimensions of habits of mind: Philosophical, Moral & Ethics, Psychological,Sociological, Epistemic, and Aesthetic. The third section

Future Work:Currently, in one of the First Year Engineering classes at Wentworth Institute of Technology,ENGR14XX, Applied Engineering Analysis [8], students are introduced to the fundamentals ofMATLAB, focusing primarily on mathematical operators, as well as Excel, coveringmathematical operators, basic formulas, and introductory statistical analysis. We believe thataugmenting this curriculum with the inclusion of advanced features such as GoalSeek, Solver,vpasolve, and introducing basic programming skills in languages like MATLAB, Python, or anyother language of student

Further, it is essential to include a variety of realisticconstraints, such as economic factors, safety, reliability, aesthetics, ethics, and social impact.Educators in engineering schools struggle constantly with assimilating creativity into theengineering curriculum. 20 21 Our current engineering curriculum, in fact our entire schoolingsystem, favors a convergent thinking approach. This bias is apparent early in the schoolingprocess. Roger VonOech, in his book, A Creative Whack on the Side of the Head : How You Canbe Creative tells a very poignant story. He says this : “When I was a sophomore in high schoolmy English teacher put a small chalk dot on the black board. She asked the class what it was. Afew seconds passed and then someone said, ‘a

For example, an exam may have only one or two questions that capture student“ability to practice professional ethics and social responsibility,” or this outcome may beembedded within a design problem. In such cases, the overall exam or assignment scores do notrepresent student performance of the one particular outcome in question. Unless the exam wasautomated through a scan form system or submitted electronically, someone must

Students seemed to be less preoccupied with memorizing an analysis procedurethat they could reproduce by rote on an exam and more worried about big picture issues. Thedirection of learning has clearly shifted from the compartmentalized application of designconcepts learned only in the foundations course to integration of topics learned throughout thecurriculum.Course AssessmentStudents complain bitterly about the workload this design problem represents
formula; but, it is possible to evaluate understanding usingother types of questions.LearningLevels of learning have been categorized by numerous researchers (Bloom, 1956; Biggs &Collis, 1982; Pask, 1975; Säljö, 1979; Anderson & Krathwohl, 2001) giving the engineeringinstructor some guidance as to the types of questions to ask to determine the level of learningthat the students have obtained. Bloom identified three domains of learning: 1) Cognitive, 2)Affective, and 3) Pshyco-Motor. Cognitive learning refers to knowledge skills, which is the areaof learning we are interested in for teaching engineering (except possibly for ethics). Cognitivelearning was further subdivided into levels of understanding, which from lowest to highest are
