Students who studied abroad saw their GPAs rise twice as quickly as a result ofgoing abroad.Rising to the occasion of building a study abroad curriculum to engage students and ensure theyare growing in their intercultural competence is a skill set rarely incorporated into engineeringfaculty’s development. While designing engineering curriculum may have differences fromcurriculum designed for other fields, engineering education researchers have providedrecommendations for curriculum construction. For example, “It is crucial to set expectations foracademic and personal conduct as early as possible, and to emphasize that the pre-departureactivities exist as the first element on the continuum of the program lifecycle,” (Berger & Bailey,2013

[4] writes – universities use internships/co-ops to enable students to develop arange of skills and to help clarify and refine employment intentions and improve their careergoals.As individuals what we perceive at times is totally different than the reality of working full timein a profession. Often you hear individuals say “I would have liked to have been a researcher oran engineering designer, but I could not see myself working all my life in that setting.” A co-opjob allows students to try out the jobs they may wish to pursue in the future and to prepare for thepossibility of working in those settings

courses that do not focus specifically on anyone engineering discipline. Instead, faculty from all engineering programs instruct the freshmenfor a part, or all, of the semester in their respective disciplines 10. This gives the freshmen abroad foundation of academic and practical information on which they base their decision aboutwhat specific profession to pursue. This is a valuable concept in regard to freshman retention inthat it allows the freshmen to make an informed decision about which career fits them the best.

For students who enter underprepared, emerging evidencefrom this study suggests those students who desire the engineering degree and have thefortitude to persist may do so, in spite of initial academic deficiencies, as long as theyunderstand it may take longer or be harder than they

Computersystems may have bias in their operation. Our students need to have an understanding of howbias enters these sophisticated software applications and how to prevent it.We researched algorithm bias education of computer science students because we wanted todevelop a module on bias awareness and assessment for our students.

physics lab report writing and undergraduate research paper writing.I. IntroductionThe City University of New York instituted a writing intensive component in its curriculummore than ten years ago. Queensborough Community College (QCC), being a junior college inthe CUNY System, requires two writing intensive courses for graduation. Our PhysicsDepartment has designated Calculus Physics and Technology Physics classes as writingintensive classes where lab report writing is a substantial element 1. A quick review of the 2014high school SAT score shows that Engineering majors have higher critical reading scores whencompared to English majors, while English majors have higher writing scores when compared toengineering majors 2, 3.

Teaching freshmanand sophomore engineering students is crucial because it is during this initial period that studentsare more likely to change majors or drop out of college 1, 2. Many studies stress the importance offirst-year college experience, and indicate the first-year GPA as the best predictor of attrition.The adoption of an active learning format whereby student participation is highly encouraged

communicate the essence of engineering to high school (and perhapsmiddle school) students and encourage them in these pathways. The Office of K-12 Outreach inthe College of Engineering at OSU frequently gets requests for engineering faculty to speak toK-12 groups and at STEM engagements on engineering careers. However, while valuable,faculty perspectives tend to be representative of experiences in, and of academia, which is asmall sector of practicing engineers. In addition, because of the requirement of advanceddegrees to be a university professor, most engineering faculty are considerably removed in agefrom K-12 students. For these reasons, faculty are, at best, incomplete engineering careerambassadors.Central to career ambassadorship is

Electrical and computer engineering are broaddisciplines with seemingly endless career paths, and the School’s undergraduate curriculummirrored this expansiveness.

The economic impact of the subject has not been revealed for the students. The course should contain modules to emphasize that this course can help to create value and make the designs more cost-efficient.To prepare the students to apply their knowledge in real-world problems, an entrepreneurshipmodule will be added to the current course materials. The students will be asked to analyze andoptimize a wind turbine structure.Current Course InformationThere are nine topics covered in the current course of Mechanics of Materials: Review of Statics: Internal Forces Concept

Then, studentswere tasked with designing, assembling, and operating a generalized measurement system, similar tothe ones available in the laboratory. Thereby, students were able to conduct experiments at home,attained the main objective of the laboratory assignment, and orally presented their results throughBCU. Students were allowed to keep the educational kits for use in other upper-division courses.Another author (Instructor B) taught a required undergraduate course in Thermodynamics (ME4293) with an enrollment of 92 students, as well as a graduate course in Advanced
