common courses during their first year of study. These common first-yearcourses become also beneficial as they are typically required for field-specific ABET degree accreditations(ABET, 2018), thus allowing across different engineering and technology fields to use a standard first-yearcurricula.To orient students into college during their first-year of study (Ward-Roof, 2010), common first-year programsin many engineering and science programs are designed for students take introductory mathematics, science,English, and other general STEM courses, typically covering topics such as coding, data representation,engineering design, problem-based solving, teamwork, ethics, and effective communications. In addition, thecommon-first year programs may

Engineering andDesign (ENGR 104) course is a project based class that introduces students to the engineering design processand explores the role of creativity in design, team dynamics, 3D visualization, diversity of perspective, globalimpact of design, and ethics. All engineering and design students are required to take ENGR 104 as pre-majors, prior to applying to major. The majority of students take the course during their first year at WWU.The course is taught by a variety of instructors and has a class capacity of 50 students.The three interventions embedded into the course were 1) a collaborative activity establishing classroomnorms, 2) a mid-quarter activity engaging students with the concept of growth mindset, and 3) instructorconnection

Because of the benefits to the field, some view it as imperativethat we more intentionally include students with disabilities within the civil engineering contextbecause they can provide nuanced and important insights to advance the accessibility ofinfrastructure and the field of civil engineering design. While we agree that diversity itself can beadvantageous, however, we believe it is equally, if not more, imperative to address inclusionfrom the perspective of justice and equity. That is, we believe that as a field, engineeringeducation is morally and ethically responsible for

Inthis way, we likewise encourage these students to continue to keep learning over their 30-year-long professional career.3.0 Lifelong Learning Background The goals of the information literacy components of the communication course aresimilar to those of Feldmann and Feldmann’s [6] assignment for their class, which are thefollowing: to make students aware of the rich store of information available; to help the studentslearn the basic skills needed to locate their needed information; to encourage team-basedinteraction on their project; to understand the ethics of

This paper describes a sequence of plagiarism cases in a large first-year computerprogramming course for engineers, and how the course was adapted in order to address theprevalence of these cases. Part of the issue with plagiarism in computer programming is a lack of consensus on what isand is not ethical to copy and use without acknowledgement when it comes to computer code.Many programmers gladly share code openly, and being able to find examples of code that canhelp you write a program can be a valuable and valid skill for a programmer. However, whencourses are tasked with teaching and assessing

Also within ABET, there are desirable attributesdescribed such as “consideration of public health, safety, and welfare.”17WAYS OF APPROACHING PROBLEMSSolving problems is central to engineering. The first two ABET student outcomes make thisexplicit: “(1) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems byapplying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics, [and] (2) an ability to applyengineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of publichealth, safety, and welfare, as well as global

Yet, as the Boeing report suggests, “major opportunities for reform existbut have yet to be exploited” [1]. Among these curricular reforms yet to be exploited is the move“from the stage of dumping ‘expert-recommended’ communication strategies to the stage oftailoring communication strategies to achieve clarity of understanding with different audiences”[1]. This call for curricular reform is also reflected in the most recent update to the AccreditationBoard for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET) outcomes for engineering programs, whichrequires that

. Surprisingly, from past observations in ECE3873, the studentthat was getting carried by their partner usually did not want to be carried. Far too often theproblem was that their lab partner was not a team player and just wanted to do everythingthemselves because they thought they could do it faster. Being in a dysfunctional situationlike that for a whole semester is miserable for students. There are numerous other reasonswhy having to stick with one student for the whole semester is not an ideal scenario. Some ofthese are personality clashes, scheduling conflicts, different work ethics, and differences intolerance to procrastination. Another important reason that the group shuffling process was implemented forECE3873 was the problem with sections
the degree program [26] or approaches to ethical issues [27], as well as using problem-solving activities as means of reflection [28].MotivationThe motivation behind this project, applying student-centered learning in a Nanotechnology class,was four-fold: 1) To help students engage more critically with the course material by selecting articles related to nanotechnology and building connections between the core concepts presented by the instructor and the latest research in the field. 2) To build the reading and comprehension skills of students in the field of nanotechnology by modeling how scientists approach the process of reading and evaluating technical papers and then having students practice the technique on their

Combined consideration of all of these newchallenges and needs, makes the idea of scaffolding [6] [7] through the curriculum, to be anappropriate metaphor.In the “Body of Knowledge Outcomes” for civil engineering, the American Society of CivilEngineers (ASCE) includes: 1) risk and uncertainty as one of the technical outcomes; 2)experimental methods and data analysis as one of the engineering fundamentals outcomes; and3) teamwork, leadership, communication, professional attitudes and ethical responsibilities,among the professional outcomes [1].

Prior to creating the survey, the research purpose and logisticswere discussed, reviewed and approved by the research institution’s research ethics board. Thesurvey was specifically aimed at gathering non-specific demographic information, andevaluating whether there is a correlation between heuristics in CAD usage in the conceptualphase of design, and how these insights correspond to the designer’s perception of productquality and collaboration effectiveness. The insights derived from this survey will be discussedwith respect to the literature review to assess the recent state-of-art in

Sites are also required to offer training in research ethics[1]. Many sites also provide training about how to select and apply to graduate school (e.g., [5]),for students who choose to pursue further education. However, even with all of these programs(some of which may be offered outside of normal work hours), the bulk of student time at REUsites is spent on research activities.2.2
