Another prominent professional organization in thefield is the American Society of Engineering Management (ASEM), which was founded in 1979by a group of 20 engineering managers from industry. The ASEM currently certifies engineeringmanagers as: the Associate Engineering Manager (AEM) or Professional Engineering Manager(PEM) through certification examinations.Systems Engineering (SE) traces roots to the laboratories of Bell Telephone in the 1940s, whenaccording to Buede (2000)4, the Department of Defense and the RAND Corporation usedsystems engineering approaches

Further, students participated in the elaboration/preservation of a widevariety of processed foods such as cheese, tofu, confectionery products, baked goods (bread),canned food, dehydrated food, and frozen foods, among many others.Learning outcomes of the course include that students will be able to: 1. identify the major components of food and the factors responsible for deterioration during storage 2. identify the main technologies available for food processing

Typical communication skills include, but are not limited to, maintaininglab/design notebooks, writing technical reports, and oral presentations. A project-based coursemay also include writing a proposal.On-line collaboration tools, also known as groupware, are widely used in many organizations toimprove their productivity and the quality of their products.

Types of collaboration tools include bulletin (discussion) boards for threadeddiscussions, public folders for sharing documents, and version control systems for concurrentediting software source codes or CAD

professors “felt the students were able to demonstrate adeeper understanding for the subject areas than in earlier versions of these courses.”4 Thestudents, while agreeing that their learning was enhanced by the service aspect of their projects,were unsure about the net benefit of participating. Biology students were concerned thatperformance in traditional laboratory courses would be weighed more carefully thanparticipation in S-L courses by graduate schools and employers, and many students worried thatthe perception of a lack of scientific rigor would reflect poorly on them. A barrier to faculty’simplementation of S-L was a resistance to the idea of reflection as a learning or evaluation tool,in spite of its integral nature in the effective

- Main Effect of Instruction, No Preconception-Instruction-InteractionIn this first example, students completed question sequences as required by a "flexible" homeworkassignment whereby they were required to participate in a physics education research experiment at somepoint during the academic term. These students were enrolled in an introductory, calculus-based physicscourse at large, public university, and completed the experiment in a physics education researchlaboratory by answering questions on laboratory computers.In particular, students were presented with questions in which they were asked to compare the time offlight of two projectiles. Specialized stimulus-delivery software was used to present these questions andrecord responses 6

engineering course, Fundamentals of Soil Mechanicsand Foundation Engineering (FSMFE). The course was 6 credit-hour seminar that was taught inan asynchronous, fully online format over 11 weeks, and a prerequisite in the Geotechnical trackof the Master of Civil Engineering (MCE) program. The content of this course aligned well withboth my professional background and my previous teaching experience with a traditional lectureand laboratory courses covering similar topics. At the time, however, I had never developed ortaught an asynchronous online course and was eager to find out more about working within thismedium. Therefore, for the 2011 spring semester I registered for both the CAP and AIDEcourses, hoping that together they would provide a
the underlying concepts and performances. The focus isprimarily on first and second order systems, and especially ones dealing with motion controlsince the class typically includes both electrical and mechanical engineering students. After extensive coverage in several lectures of the underlying mathematical theory of theposition and speed of a motion control system, the response of the system to a step input isdemonstrated in the laboratory using a configurable MS150 Modular Servo System fromFeedback, Inc. Important aspects of this hardware demonstration include the effects of gain,inertia, and damping on the response of the system. Students often express appreciation andstate that this complementary demonstration helps to make the theory
procedure employed, thus reducing the educationalexperience for the student. The goal of ChemProV was to provide a scaffold for learningbut leave the problem solving strategy flexible enough to accommodate multiple learningstyles and approaches. The intent was that by the end of a typical material/energybalance class, the students would have developed their skills to the point where the use ofChemProV was no longer necessary.In 2008 and 2009, we conducted a laboratory experiment to assess the effectiveness ofChemProV. To conduct this experiment, we divided the material/energy balance classinto four groups. Two different material balance problems, of equal difficulty, weredeveloped. Each group was asked to solve two problems: one problem to be

Looking at the word clouds shown in Figure 5, multiple studentsmentioned team aspects. 80% of students who participated in the escape room either agreed orstrongly agreed that the escape room required teamwork to be completed.

In this extensive survey, student motivation (42% ofrespondents) was identified as the most significant factor that contributed to course difficulties.Remote learning was present long before the pandemic. Bourne et. al. [5] provide examples ofonline engineering programs and courses dating back to the early 1990s. They identified thedevelopment of meaningful laboratory experiences as one of the major hurdles to onlineengineering education. Park et. al. discussed the challenges associated with delivery of online labcourses in engineering programs, the core part of the undergraduate engineering curriculums andmandated for accredited programs [6], and reflected on the emotional toll of online learningduring the pandemic for students.

However, engineering students solving problems insmall groups in the context considered here (i.e., not in a laboratory or capstone project) hasreceived little attention in the literature. At least until the time of their article, Springer et al.(1999) argued that small-group learning for undergraduate engineering students was notcommonly practiced, even though many studies have shown a statistically significant andpositive effect on achievement, persistence, and attitude on undergraduate STEM students [21].They strongly recommended it be used, although they did not specify a particularimplementation.

Academic OutcomesAt its core, mindfulness is a practice that involves enhancing awareness of the present moment,which can significantly improve skills necessary for successful academic outcomes such assustained focus, increased open-mindedness and innovation, and time management. Sustainedfocus is crucial for engineering students who must master complex concepts and problem-solving skills. Mindfulness practices help train the mind to resist distractions and redirectattention to the task [30]. By regularly engaging in mindfulness practices, engineering studentscan develop the mental discipline to stay focused during lectures, laboratory work, and studysessions. In addition to improving concentration, mindfulness promotes a non-judgmental andopen

Despite this, however, the impact of graduate student mentoring is criticalto their mentees' future academic and career trajectories [4], [9].
