Instructors also should , give feedback on how each group is performing, and insure adherence to accepted standards of: ethics, social responsibility, and safety.Success in implementing active learning is attributable, in large measure, to: proper planning,dedication and care shown by the instructors, as well as their abilities and foresights. Experienceis definitely a major factor. A proper start for instructors wanting to try active learning versustraditional methods of delivery is to step into it gradually, seek continuous feedback fromstudents who are directly involved, and

Traditionalcurricula have limited potential for real-world project-based learning opportunities in comparison tointegrated curricula and co-curricular activities. Furthermore, some research [5], [31]-[34] suggestsaligning pedagogy to authentic industry related/driven projects enhances employability [35].Fisher [36] commented that co-curricular activities present an opportunity for students to developprofessional skills that include teamwork, ethics, communication, life-long learning and the socialimpact of engineering. Research on the higher level impact on student involvement in specificco-curricular programmes show favourable development of professional and technical skills [37]-[40

One of the most important provisions of the UCC is that it allows students whosuccessfully complete core curriculum courses at one institution to transfer (up to) the entire setof completed courses to another public institution of higher education without the need to repeatany core courses. Students who transfer without completing the whole (42-SCH) core curriculumalso receive credit for each of the core courses they satisfy. Although the studies included in theCUC may vary by institution, every higher education institution's core curriculum in our statemust consist of 6-SCH of Foundational Component Areas.

To warrant such a claim, the MIL issupervised by faculty with extensive diversity and inclusion training, who has had years ofexperience addressing related issues, should they ever arise. Additionally, inclusion training andconflict resolution is part of the curriculum of the courses taught in MIL, as well as theprerequisites to these courses. Each course in this space is also guided by a class diversity andinclusion statement, in which it is made clear to the students on the first day that inclusion is akey part of professional engineering ethics and is expected in our classrooms and laboratories.Furthermore, care is taken to signal

Given the absence of a unified professional vision, engineeringeducators may also need to remain cognizant of the moral and ethical dimensions of their work,and pursue change initiatives aligned with the needs of their own student body, and other locallydefined interests.2.

Despite the extended timeframe for degreecompletion, SCS students have shown a strong commitment to completing their degree withexceptionally strong work ethic and engagement [8], while prior work experience provides SCSstudents with a valuable perspective that the career switch allows to recover losses in theirprofessional development [9]. A number of critical environmental supports/resources and barriers/demands cansignificantly affect the academic success of engineering students [5, 10]. Traditional and SCSundergraduate students typically face different combination of environmental supports/resourcesand barriers/demands. This is due to the intrinsic differences in the professional development thatboth groups

had hoped for, and studentresponse to the courses has been positive. To assess our goals more rigorously, we havedeveloped a set of rubrics which we have described in detail. Results of the initial assessment arepositive and have provided insights that we will use to improve the Cornerstone courses. Forexample, we will insist on more formal planning of testing, and better presentation of prototypetesting results. We will also emphasize the difference between debugging and testing, which areoften confused by students. In the future we also plan to expand our discussion of the designprocess and to introduce topics on ethics in engineering.The novelty of our approach is in: 1. Introducing a project-based design course sequence in the sophomore

We believe human-centered design activities can directly benefit at least thefollowing three criteria, quoted here: • An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors • An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences • An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed

An effort tocollect a second sampling of pre-course, mid-course, and post-course data has been repeated todetermine if results are repeatable. The original design was taught by another instructor, so theonly way to obtain a control comparison would be reversion to the older approach, away fromthis new approach described here. However, this only seems ethical and viable if studentssupport this approach and it is unlikely that this

Oneapproach explores the potential long-term impact of pandemic ERT on the future of onlinelearning3, 4, 5: will the forced experience make students more or less receptive to bona fide onlinelearning in the future? Another perspective examines lessons to be learned from ERT during thispandemic to improve continuing and future ERT.2, 4, 5, 6, 7 Indeed, continual improvement of ERTis an ethical imperative.4, 5, 8 This paper joins both efforts by examining student courseevaluations during ERT, and it asks: 1) How does feedback of students who were forced into online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic align with established best practices for online teaching? 2) How did student feedback on

The students were encouraged to use criticalthinking skills to analyze requirements and constraints which would apply for advanced real-worldproblems. Significant improvement in the critical thinking skills of students has been achievedthrough this sequence.An integrated thinking approach is adopted by Katz [3] to bridge the educational gap betweenanalytical and design thinking for mechanical engineering students. The suggested approach isimplemented by reforming science engineering courses by stressing the physical interpretationof mathematical derivations to analyze and design simple
