Fundamental principles areintroduced in the context of solving a given engineering problem, and other skill sets such ascommunication, economics, safety, and ethics can also be introduced to add depth and meaningto solving the problem. As Felder states, “students learn best when they perceive a clear need toknow the material being taught” [11]. PBL creates learning environments with rich extendedproblems that, when carefully designed and implemented, can engage learners in challengingtasks (problems) while providing guidance and feedback [12, 13]. Moreover, there have beenmany active learning strategies like cooperative learning, guided design, problem-based learning,hands-on learning and computer simulation, “clickers”, gamification, etc. that have

In an effort to re-purpose already existing credit hours in the first year, we determined that use ofthe four credit hours dedicated to Graphics (2 cr-hr) and Programming (2 cr-hr) in the first year might affordus a way to both update the learning expectations of these courses, while simultaneously providing aplatform to explore the ME major directly in the first year.The current Learning Outcomes for ENGR1110 Graphics, taught by General and

Criterion 3 student outcomes 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7 would probably be satisfied in a quality Master’s program. These can be briefly termed solving complex engineering problems using engineering, science, and mathematics, engineering design, communications, experimentation and data analysis, and acquiring and applying new knowledge.

lessons.Approximately 30% of the surveyed students cited technical difficulties, audio lags, blurryvisuals, and wifi issues as challenges. Other constructive feedback, specifically from ADVsinclude: • Only two of my teachers posted lectures to canvas. Defeats one of the main purposes. • Hard to read white boards and tech issues (sound and disconnects). • Notes on board hard to read. • It is distracting and difficult to hear students' questions.Summary of FindingsVeteran and active-duty students bring persistence and mental toughness for academic workstemming from their goal-oriented work ethic in the military [8],[ 9]. In addition, their worldexperience provides a different and critically broad experience, which contrasts with thetraditional
experiences bytalking with these students.The research team will collect additional data as students graduate to gather further feedback onhow the mentoring shaped the student's experience. However, at this point, while we havecollected data from the seven students who graduated, the data would reveal the students'identities, which would be contrary to proper ethical research methods. Thus, at this point, onlydiscourse analysis of student documents and survey responses from mentors were used in thispaper.conclusionsDiscourse analysis was used to analyze the ideas and themes that were the most influentialstudents, as reflected in mentoring reports and scholarship sponsor thank-you notes.

mathematics. In manycircles ET is described as hands-on or as applied engineering. Ethics of the engineeringprofession also requires that graduates be mindful of the impact that technological advances haveon society, its culture, and the economy and the environment.Therefore, the importance of understanding the use of research in the educational environment issignificant. Understanding changes, how to interpret current findings, and develop ways toincorporate those changes in ongoing projects is critical to the continued progress of technologyand our society. With a clear focus on the engineering technology student and the tool used toassess their experience of research in the classroom this work will set a precedence for thisimplementation to
disability (e.g., non-disabled) in ways that reflect on the fluidity of disability; that is,one is non-disabled until they are disabled [1, 4]. Such perspectives center individual personhoodand lived experience of people with disabilities, highlight the diverse nature of disability, andposition accessibility and inclusion as ethical necessities that a society is responsible for. Theseperspectives contrast those often used in the social, physical, and bureaucratic structures thatshape the lived experiences of people with disabilities [5]. Such structures tend to rely onmedicalized models that describe disability as a condition to be treated and/or accommodatedusing a set of prescribed approaches regulated by policy [6, 7].Conceptualizing and

On the other hand, faculty brought up having access to resources and how it impacts theircreative problem solving. They tend to be less creative when resources such as googling similarproblems on the Internet are available to them. This was not mentioned by practitioners. Thisparticular example may not have

plans to pursue graduate education. Participants were asked toraise their confidence with specific scientific skills on a five-point likert scale (5 = veryconfident, 1 = not at all confident). Results from the pre- and post-assessment from 2019through 2021 indicate gains in a number of scientific skills (Figure 2). Results in 2017 and 2018were not included in this analysis due to changes in the pre- and post-assessment surveys. In allthree years, positive gains were found in participants’ skills in writing an abstract, using thelibrary and scientific databases, understanding research ethics, and preparing a paper forpublication. The greatest gains across all three years were in preparing a paper for publication,which is one of the direct
and analysis methods such as impedance concepts, power principles, phasor notation,circuit frequency response principles, and filter concepts were covered. Capacitive networks andsimple inductive transient analysis along with operational amplifier circuit analysis principlesincluding simple active filter design were learned. Lastly, motors, transformers, power supplieswere introduced. Foundation of engineering design (MENG 2000) gave students an introduction to whatengineering is, how to design using accepted philosophy, process, and methodology. Feasibility,human factors, ethics, and economics concepts of a design were explored. Case studies were usedto highlight design successes and failures to understand engineering principles

Students write about why they are at our institution, and what type of engineeringdiscipline/field they plan on pursuing and why; how they are coming to understand personal,academic, and professional integrity and ethics and how they might continue to pursue personaland professional integrity as they become practicing engineers. In the spring course, ENGCMP412, students pursue individual writing projects that are integral to their understanding ofcommunicating in a professional context. They also engage in a multi-step process of working inteams of three to write, revise and submit a paper to the First-Year Engineering Conference
implicitly account for complexcriteria, including the welfare of those who use or are impacted by the systems we design and theeconomic needs of their employers.As a result, in many ways engineering is an art that requires practitioners to routinely navigatedifficult tradeoffs that require professional judgments. These judgments include economic,ethical, social, and value-based dimensions. Each of these dimensions could be conflicting,increasing the complexity of practice and foregrounding the prominence of judgment. The result,as Dorothy Winsor observes, is that engineering is information work requiring skill in persuasivecommunication [1]. Such information work means that engineers not only must developengineering judgment, but must also develop
