Role of Engineering Ethics Case Studies and Student LearningAbstract The engineering profession requires a high level of training and study at a college leveldue to its vital importance and impact on the public. However, engineers may not be particularlytrained in psychology, sociology, economics, or in many areas relevant to assessing the socialconsequences of technology. This type of insight is crucial because engineers have an obligationto the public good, specifically the safety, health, and welfare of society. While engineering usedto prioritize business and technological advancements, it often meant that morals took a backseatin projects. The profound shift of emphasis took place in the 1970s when the primary obligationof

It is not theintention for this paper to showcase a rigorous research study, but rather to demonstratethe advantages and potential of a practicum course for future engineering educators.BackgroundResearch done by Seely and ASEE assert that improving teaching practice is necessary toimprove the development of skills required by the Accreditation Board for Engineeringand Technology (ABET) and industry.2,7,11 An emphasis has been made on theimportance of innovative teaching strategies, such as active and team-based learning, inthe development of future engineers.

The major hurdles needed to overcome are; changing the mindset of faculty, budgets,teacher training in new technologies, online student population’s new studying habits andquality of instruction.ChangeChange is never easy; perhaps it is the most difficult hurdle in online teaching. Faculty, need tobe fully aware of the linking of pedagogy, technology and learning-styles [2]. Furthermore, it hasbeen our experience that the need of “electronic textbooks availability” is a critical event thatfacilitates online teaching of electrical engineering in a very large scale.

ASEE Southeastern Section Conference Speaker Nonverbal Unintentionality: An OpenPose Intervention for Engineering StudentsAbstractEngineering programs require students to demonstrate communicative competency with a broadrange of audiences across different rhetorical situations. For example, engineering entrepreneurscommonly seek funding for ideations and innovations using a presentation to potential investors.The presentation intends to convince investors to financially commit to the investmentopportunity. Therefore, communication skills can positively or negatively impact the evaluationof the product or technology. Of particular importance is how a speaker manages physicaldelivery (i.e., nonverbal
