Common goals for manyof these camps include: introducing students to engineering as a possible career path; engagingstudents in collaborative, problem-based learning assignments that integrate mathematics,science, and engineering; and providing examples of how engineers engage in engineeringdesign to solve problems [3]–[6]. Some programs choose to specifically target women as anunderrepresented minority in engineering, such as the New Jersey

. Technologicaldevelopment is one of the primary detonators of this globalization, and engineering has been themain drive behind technological development. This situation has caused engineering professionalsfrom all over the world to seek to identify themselves, as collaborative projects between engineers ofdifferent nationalities become more and more common.For several years, American and Iberian-American countries have been carrying out studiesexploring this topic. In the ASEE and ASIBEI, one of the primary tasks has been to establishdefinitions of the American and the Iberian-American engineer.AntecedentsAmerica and Iberia-America have many aspects in common; when one speaks of America, it isusually understood as a reference to all American (Western Hemisphere

ConclusionsPreparation, implementation, and the preliminary assessments of the workbook strategy forvarious chemical engineering courses are presented. The workbook strategy incorporates thefollowing in teaching: (i) classroom analysis, (ii) workbook beside the textbook, (iii) group work,and (iv) ‘blackboard’ as information technology aided platform in education and communication.The preliminary assessments show that the strategy may reduce the mismatches betweenteachings and learning styles, facilitate greater interactions between students and instructors, andstimulate critical thinking, problem solving, and active

. Inthe original physics-based curricula, labs involving mechanical application were practically non-existent. To provide for new mechanical lab activities, basic laboratory stations were procured,an engineering measurements lab and course were created, and innovative, low-cost practicalexperiences were developed. These activities quickly became too numerous for a single course,and will need to be distributed into the engineering science courses. The electrical engineeringcomponent has been influenced by technology advances and changes in focus. Improvements tolaboratory equipment and software have simultaneously simplified many lab measurementswhile allowing for more complex projects. The focus has shifted from fundamental physicsmeasurements
themesincluded: cost/quality conflicts; loopholes in design criteria – letter vs. spirit of the law; cost vs.safety; how is “safety” defined; government intervention/support of emerging technology; long-term effect of technology. It would be the responsibility of the engineering students to applythese themes to their individual projects, using the professional mentors as a source, and theInternet for background material3. As part of the evaluation process, students entering the “Ethicsof the Professions” course will take an ethics acuity test, followed by a similar exit test. Thepurpose of the tests is to assess whether the students have developed an aptitude for identifyingand solving potential ethical problems.3. SummaryThe tendency in undergraduate

Bangladesh is a small country located in south-eastAsia with a population of 90 million people. It currently has four state funded engineeringcolleges and one state funded engineering university. Some private institutions are also beingestablished. Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) is the oldestinstitution for the study of engineering and architecture in Bangladesh. The history of thisinstitution dates back to the days of Dhaka Survey School which was established in 1876 to trainsurveyors for the then government of Bengal of British India.

The main subjects currently taught todayin K-12 education: science, math, English, and social studies, are but a select few of theperspectives or different ways of thinking and knowing that exist. With technology becoming anincreasingly important part of our lives and a part of the education of our children, the absence ofthe content and processes of one subject has become increasingly evident over all others:engineering. An "engineering perspective" can be a fascinating lens through which to look at theworld around us that is ever increasing in complexity.

Though ChatGPT usage might present challenges such as academicdishonesty and students have to be careful with the ways in which ChatGPT embeds biases andstereotypes, I outline design recommendations that instructors can pursue to guide studentstowards using ChatGPT to arrive at a more level footing to other classmates. At the end of the day, ChatGPT is a tool that has the potential to both do good and causeharm. It is up to instructors to educate and support students in leveraging it for the good it canbring, and avoid causing harms that it can perpetuate. Considering ChatGPT as a technology tobe leveraged in classrooms the same way
