Department at a private, mid-sized university was awarded theNational Science Foundation (NSF) Revolutionizing Engineering and Computer ScienceDepartments (RED) grant in July 2017 to support the development of a program that fostersstudents’ engineering identities in a culture of doing engineering with industry engineers. TheDepartment is cultivating this culture of “engineering with engineers” through a strongconnection to industry and through changes in the four essential areas of a shared departmentvision, faculty, curriculum, and supportive policies.As we conclude this project, we are auditing all the activities we did throughout our project. Inthis audit, we review our activities with an eye toward what was particularly impactful for us

The grading scripts were used for 6 years until the Linux operatingsystems (CentOS 5 and CentOS 6) of the virtual machines reached their end of life.

artsinstitution initiated a comprehensive feasibility report for a new and innovative biomedicalengineering program. The feasibility report included assessment of growth of the bioscienceindustry, cohesion with existing programs at the institution, potential students, and current trendsand future needs. Based on the outcomes of the report, a new undergraduate biomedicalengineering (BME) program was established with an innovative and unique curriculum. Theinnovative nature of the new program is demonstrated through the utilization of liberal artspedagogical practices and interventions, 4 credit hours courses, the background and training of theprograms 3 faculty members, a project-based curriculum, and the program emphases on analytics

In this intervention, studentsare challenged to consider bias in engineering design and its impacts on others through a semester-long project composed of a series of individual and team exercises. This intervention is designedto raise students’ awareness of bias in biomedical engineering designs and processes and theimpacts they have on them and on others.Demand for inclusive design and responsible innovationEngineers’ works significantly affect the world, so they should be aware of assumptions they makewhen they create a new product. It means that consideration of inclusive
need to learn embeddeddevelopment comes up repeatedly in the context of our capstone senior design experience, and hasresulted in the individual instruction of many students at our institution, over many years, often in theform of guided tutorials. While effective enough to support the capstone course, this approach does notexpose every student that wants to acquire this skill set with the opportunity to do so; such instruction islimited to those students that need to learn the skills to support a project. It also lacks the efficiency of aclassroom approach.Microcontroller skills can be acquired today without formal instruction. Students can learn much of thismaterial on their own through the “Maker Movement” [2], in which makers learn through
co-decision makers, instead of beingtreated as commoditized instruments [7] of the business machinery.Simultaneously, we pay attention to the engineers’ privileged position – e.g. as experts and high-income earners, with greater proximity to large-scale project decisions – and its role in the unequalinfluence relations engineers have with other knowledge disciplines and/or communitystakeholders. Engineers can be important mediators or gatekeepers for the input of diversestakeholders on the technology development (e.g. machine learning bias). Therefore, our workingvision for engineering ethics education is two-fold: (1) to empower students as moral agents whoeffectively negotiate for social and ethical responsibility in the technology

advising, career guidance,and faculty support are frequently reported by students who leave an engineering program(Seymour et al., 1997, Meyer et al., 2014).

These recommendations are consistent with those from a more recent paneldiscussion on standards education at the Capstone Design Conference in 2012, which furtherrecognized that, to help achieve the desired proficiency of students to apply standardsappropriately in their capstone design project, standards education should start earlier in thecurriculum [7].Several barriers to effective teaching of standards in engineering curricula have been cited
