As Spring 2021 was a completely onlinesemester for the University (except for laboratory classes), it was skipped.

. The contentof this introductory course varies from program to program, and there is no well-acceptedcurricular model for it. Programs typically use this course for student orientation to theengineering field, to teach problem solving, for design projects and contests, for developingcommunication and professional skills, for developing computing and software skills, and forpotentially a host of other local interests. Some programs have also aligned this introductorycourse with an existing traditional engineering topic, such as engineering graphics, as is the casewith the UT-ME program. There is also an opportunity to introduce the program outcomes inthis course and to even establish some assignments that can be used for assessment purposes.The
their attitudes on ethical issues.From students’ own discussions and from Goulet’s experience, it appears that studentattitudes and perceptions can be favorably impacted by clearly and forcefully settingstandards of appropriate behavior and by integrating ethical and legal decision-makinginto the curriculum. In that manner, ethical behavior is something that is done, rather thanstudied. Wankat and Oreovicz have proposed strategies for instilling honest behavior inengineering students by stressing (as did Goulet) the Engineering Code of Ethics; byreducing anxiety that might foster unethical behavior; by faculty always being a presencein the classroom and laboratory; and by structuring engineering education in such waysthat unethical behavior is
accreditation requirements for both the College of Education and the School ofEngineering. Education students require additional exposure to engineering concepts that theycan subsequently take into the K-12 classroom [1]. Engineering students need practice indesigning experiments and communicating effectively with a range of audiences [2]. In addition,appropriate content and limits are suggested for teaching at three possible educational levels:elementary, middle school, and high school. This virtual thought experiment [3] is part of a largereffort to develop a new lab manual for earth science courses that will include a variety of moreholistic engineering-related lab experiments [4].A novel feature of this experiment is its holistic approach to

. What are thepreferred learning styles of Gen Z engineering students and how do these relate to theirpersonality types? While we assume that effective teaching in engineering involves active andgroup learning, use of makerspaces, and problem solving studios, we really don’t know thelearning preferences of the new generation of students. This generation has grown up withelectronic screens and social media in front of their faces from a very young age. And now facultyare trying to have them work in groups, take them to the makerspace, and so on without knowingwhether the Gen Zs will respond in the same way as Gen Xs and millennials.IntroductionThere have been many studies performed to understand the relationship between students’personality types

challenges within astructured design course.Shifting budget priorities within engineering departments has meant that a wide range ofinstructors teach senior design. Often, fewer full-time, tenure-track faculty members are teachingdesign. The gap is filled in a number of different ways: graduate student-teachers, adjunct faculty(particularly from industry), and professors of practice.With these drivers, it can be challenging to create and deliver a coherent design experience thatmeets all of these objectives. This paper will present the configuration, tools, and methodologiesof a senior design course sequence that addresses its large menu of objectives in a rational,structured fashion.IntroductionThroughout the Bachelor of Science in Electrical
