universities, where the researchers asked participants aboutproblems they encountered during their engineering curriculum and to comment on problemscenarios. Findings suggest that students often lack resources for effectively solving teamproblems, though “high achieving” students, defined as having a self-reported GPA of 3.5 orabove, are often more proactive when dealing with slacker teammates, using strategies such assetting early deadlines or selecting teammates known also to be high achievers. However, acrossthe board, students preferred to “do nothing” when dealing with domineering or exclusionaryteammates.These findings shed light on the disproportionate burden women and under-representedminorities face in team projects and the lack of resources

This course, which is taught by a representative of the mechanical engi-neering department (a faculty member or doctoral candidate) in conjunction with a local secondaryschool educator, is intended to introduce the fundamentals of mechanical engineering in an infor-mative, yet approachable, manner.Structurally, the mechanical engineering course is divided into ten two-hour academic units, eachof which includes a brief technical lecture (approximately twenty minutes in length), a varietyof hands-on demonstrations, and a competitive group project of a design-build-test nature.

plan is presented forintegrating teamwork development into an engineering program to prepare graduates forsubsequent development of high performing teams in the professional workplace. A case isdiscussed to illustrate how team development is achieved in a project-based curriculum setting.IntroductionThe great engineering challenges of the twenty-first century are complex and multidisciplinary innature [1]. Engineers engaged in addressing problems of societal concern that have economicimpact will necessarily be members of multidisciplinary teams that bring diverse expertise andperspectives to the problem solving process. In general, a team is “a small number of people withcomplementary skills who are committed to a common purpose, set of
-scale, industry-sponsored projects. Students are also required to take anapplication domain sequence of three related, specialized courses which emphasize theapplication of software engineering material to different domains. Most software engineeringcourses are offered in the 2+2 format, meaning the course meets in lecture twice for one hour andhave a 2 hour associated lab period.Robert Morris University (RMU)Robert Morris University offers an accredited Bachelors of Science degree in engineering(Software Engineering concentration), and has been accredited since 2002.

Theydiscussed strategies for integrating inquiry-based learning effectively but noted limitations relatedto remote collaboration difficulties and time constraints in projects. Each of these studieshighlights both the potential benefits and challenges of implementing inquiry-based andcollaborative learning methods in diverse educational contexts.Collaborative Learning highlights the importance of group interactions, enriching comprehensionthrough the exchange of collective ideas. Foldnes compared the effectiveness of the flippedclassroom model with traditional lectures, focusing on two flipped classroom implementations[9
. 2The authors have also noted how students in the capstone courses struggle with the requiredteamwork. These difficulties stem, in part, from the fact that team projects in pre-capstonecourses do not prepare students for what is required in capstone. Table 1 documents how teamprojects differ in courses that lead up to capstone and the projects expected in capstone courses.Table 1: Pre-capstone Projects Compared with Capstone Projects Pre-capstone Projects Capstone Projects Team Size 2–5 5 – 14 Team Varies from 1 week to 2 semesters Duration the full semester Team
System-on-Chip CourseAbstractAdding Entrepreneurial Minded Learning (EML) is increasing across engineering programs atmany universities. This paper looks at including EML modules in a System-on-Chip ComputerEngineering course. The course used two new modules, one makerspace prototyping module anda design product cost module, including the distribution and the supply chain.Using case studies in the fulfillment of Kickstarter game projects, students get exposure to real-world examples to explore insight into the manufacturing process, global shipping, and retaildistribution model. Students offer a business analysis addressing a System-on-Chip video gamefor the final project. They created 3D prototypes of the game console using plastic prints

graduate students still struggle tofind the most effective models for ensuring that their students internalize professional values andmake them part of their scientific and technical practices4,5,6. This paper will report on the firststage of a three year NSF-funded research project to develop and assess four differentinstructional models that introduce and educate science and engineering graduate students to themicroethical and macroethical issues in their work.Graduate education in science and engineering ethics has typically focused on responsibleconduct in research (RCR) issues and has had a microethical focus (although collectiveresponsibilities are sometimes explored). Topics such as public policy on stem cell research orthe societal
istaught over two semesters with 1 credit in the Spring semester and 2 credits in the Fall semester.The learning objectives for this course as listed in the course syllabus are to:1. Develop an understanding of the conception, planning, and design phases of a transportation project.2. Integrate information, ideas, and concepts from previous courses into a comprehensive design effort on a particular project.3. Work well in teams and effectively coordinate the efforts of all team members towards a common goal.4. Discuss issues related to the practice of civil engineering such as professional ethics, project management, and various types of design impacts, including those related to the environment, to economics, etc.5.

brainstorming, formalizing a construction plan,drawing schematic representations of the instrument/lamp, generating a parts/tool list, andimplementation of the design. This project addressed the need for promoting creative thought inengineering undergraduate students for enhanced product design. Attention was given to theartistic component, a view often neglected. There were 43 total students in the class and theywere arranged into seven groups. The music department donated the instruments that included a:saxophone, clarinet, bassoon, piccolo, trumpet, mellophone, and trombone. The students weretasked to design and build a lamp from these instruments and the team budgets averaged $60 pergroup. The laboratory activity and completed lamp designs will be
necessary to determine almost every detail of the course,including the semester project, the associated lectures, project-relevant assignments, designreviews and overall grading strategies. The participating universities not only have differentsemester schedules, but also different guidelines and practices that pose significant challengesfor the participating faculty. However, the course has been successfully offered each year sinceits inception in Fall 2000 and on each campus there is a strong student demand for this course.The development of the initial content and format of this course took more than a year1,2,3. Thisis not uncommon for special courses. However, several issues have to be addressed in order tosustain such a course in the long

As such, inaddition to the work presented here about contextualizing Statics, other ongoing engineeringwork at USD includes introducing social relevance to heat transfer [12], reimagining energy asan interdisciplinary and decolonized concept [13], integrating social justice into engineeringcurricula [14], and teaching social responsibility in circuits and materials science [15], [16],among others [17].
