by anoverview of the context in which this study took place. We then present an analysis of the surveydata we collected that examines how students at our university conceptualize energy.Literature ReviewThe current body of literature in energy education explores not only the pedagogical aspects, butalso the nature of energy education. Energy is a foundational concept and is taught in manydifferent contexts, both within engineering and more broadly in Science, Technology,Engineering, and Math (STEM). As we reviewed this literature, three major questions emerged:how do we define energy? (ontology), how do students conceptualize energy? (epistemology),and how do we teach energy? (pedagogy).An Ontological Question: How do we define energy?Energy

Our study evaluates gender diversity and ethnic diversity among U.S. citizensand permanent residents in terms of African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and NativeAmericans. Engineering diversity remains a problem in the USA despite ongoing efforts bygovernment, academia, and the private sector. Chubin et. al.

We have designed two entry-levelcourses that are designed for both AS and AAS students to take together.In our Mechanical Design and Prototyping course both Engineering Science andPrecision Machining students learn to use CAD and CAM software in lecture and thenfabricate their designs using manual and CNC machines in lab. Faculty from bothdepartments team-teach the course which entails a final design-build project and coursecompetition. A series of short instructional videos have been created to supplement classinstruction.Our Digital Electronics course is taken by both Engineering Science and ComputerTechnology students

In the last 23 years, Manhattan College, likethe rest of society, has undergone tremendous shifts with regards to technology. This paper willgive the reader insight to the evolution of chemical engineering education at Manhattan College,and how the students, professors, and curricula have been affected by the technological advancesof the last two decades.

applications of engineering work. An interest in emphasizing mathematics andscience led to the launch of a number of undergraduate and graduate programs around the worldin Engineering Science, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, and the persistent inclusion of acomprehensive foundation in mathematics and science in engineering programs.This foundation has enabled a focus on first principles as part of the teaching and learningdiscourse in some engineering programs. More recently, first principles thinking has also beendiscussed in the popular technology discourse as connected to innovation. Here, it is described asa method used to identify and reason from the most fundamental truths in our knowledge base tosupport problem solving and innovation. While

teach students from diverse disciplines someessential concepts on computer technology in the context of applying cyberinfrastructure. Thesecourses developed for K13 & K14 levels will be offered in an innovative classroom setting forhands-on experimental learning with a focus on solving scientific problems as a team. Thesecourses will also be deployed for online learning in a virtual classroom. The effectiveness of suchan approach, introducing concepts from engineering education to the non-engineering students,will be assessed through formative and summative methods for further development anddissemination._____________________________________________________________________________*CIBRED is funded by NSF award OCI-0753375 to O

Comparative Analysis of Engineering Ethics TextbooksABSTRACT - Engineers play a critical role in bettering humanity via technological andscientific innovations. This ethical responsibility to the practice of engineering is the reason thatengineering ethics is required of all accredited engineering programs at all levels of education,and engineering ethics is required of all facets of professional licensure in engineering. Educatorsat all levels leverage textbooks to teach engineering ethics. In this paper, we conduct asystematic, comparative review of twenty-six of the most widely used engineering ethicstextbooks. This comparative analysis has enabled us to identify over forty thematic topics thatare collectively covered across these twenty
