In the summer of their first year, UGTAs learn foundational concepts related toGIDBEA; in the second year, power and privilege; and in the third year, strategies for engagingGIDBEA in their future careers. Training ahead of the spring semester offers time for conceptreinforcement and reflection on the fall. By scaffolding the training over the UGTAs’ three-yeartenure in the program, we seek to sustain engagement as TAs put their knowledge to practice ininteractions with

secondary orhigher education settings [1,2], in which students are primarily teenagers and young adultswhose careers are financed by their parents or by scholarships. These students tend to have noemployment responsibilities and are, therefore, able to dedicate themselves exclusively to theirstudies. Some of this research, including [3], analyzed the issue in the context of the forcedvirtualization of education due to the COVID-19 pandemic.The closest reference found in the literature to the case of working students are [4] and [5]. Thestudy in [5] addressed the use of flipped classrooms in a face-to-face geometry course forengineering students in which much of the class was composed of employed adult learners.The present study's central aim is to
develop the necessary connections between courses,concepts and applications that engineering professionals require in their careers. In thiswork-in-progress study, we present one aspect of a larger engineering research program that aimsto develop such activities and promote knowledge transfer.The goal of this larger program is to develop an intervention that promotes knowledge transferand helps make the links between a student’s courses more explicit. The study is based on priorresearch [8,9] that observed student difficulties in applying mathematical concepts in anengineering context and which piloted a 3-stage intervention aimed at promoting the transfer ofknowledge from mathematics to an engineering course. The piloted intervention was based

curriculum chartThroughout the life of the ET program, the two senior design classes, as well as research, educational, andhands-on projects embedded in other high-level classes, were used to supplement the knowledge andskills of the ET students to equip them with the important skills and prepare them for their career. At theend of these projects, students conclude their experience and present their work at local conferences,professional meetings, and school showcases. This comes in the form of oral presentations, posters, aswell as professional conference proceedings [1 - 11]. Furthermore, some groups prepare a detailed studentmanual for the project they completed so that it can be used later on to guide other groups in getting thesame knowledge

Developing more effective teams in which gender and racialminorities can exhibit their potential and enhance their capabilities adds another layer to theimportance of the subject. Teamwork skills are generally developed in group activities, althoughtypically there is no formal training for that, and it is left to students to practice. The currentstudy explored different aspects of teamwork in engineering programs, especially with a focus onthe role of gender and race. For this purpose, participants were categorized based on their genderand race, and since the percentage of non-white

education curriculum provides graduateswith the foundation of knowledge and skills necessary to begin practice in their classrooms.However, it is also recognized that there will probably be a continuous expansion of knowledgeand an evolution of instructional practices over time. Hence, the first college degree should bejust the start of a career-long education process, where continuing teacher education becomes asignificant part of the life-long learning process for the teacher. The challenge for theprofessional development providers is to ensure that the nature, context, and programs keeps upwith the changing base of knowledge and practices required for the classroom teachers.Too many teachers still feel isolated in their classrooms.

in[-]person interactions.”Notably, students mostly mentioned professors in response to the second question regarding in-person learning. Some of this is because many respondents were still in high school during thebeginning of the pandemic and began their higher education careers online. When students didmention professors during remote conditions their responses were often negative pointing out alack of perceived empathy with pandemic conditions or difficulty connecting with professors.Responses during in-person learning were more positive overall. However, students noted thatsome remote-era features are still at play. For example, one student remarked that“[u]nfortunately, there are still professors who post lectures online or utilize zoom

Management. The course istypically offered in fall and spring semesters with enrollment of approximately 90 students eachsemester. The course exists to introduce the management functions of planning, organizing,motivating, and controlling. Further, the course analyzes the application of these functions inresearch, design, production, technical marketing, and project management and studies theevolution of the engineering career and the transition to engineering management.The course was regularly delivered in a traditional format with two 75-minute classroomsessions each week, including lecture by the instructor with student response to questions usingclickers.

Whether inundergraduate studies or in future careers, there are obvious advantages to possessing goodwriting skills as they may actually improve design skills [5].

broader systems thinking approach to sustainable manuremanagement, projects were devised for both undergraduate and graduate students using twosystem visualization tools – the cognitive map and an analysis canvas.Cognitive maps are generally considered freeform visualizations of mental models that cancontain various structures including diagrams, graphs, and flowchart elements and identifyrelationships among those elements. Cognitive maps were introduced to the undergraduates witha class discussion about their college careers. Students volunteered several engineering coursesthey took. The instructor then asked them to identify which of these courses providedinformation or skills that were needed or useful in other courses and these relationships
characterizes this as an approach “intended todevelop ethical behavior over the course of an entire scientific or engineering career” [1]. Toachieve this objective, however, engineering ethics must more fully engage with the field ofempirical moral psychology.This paper is divided as follows: The first part outlines reasons for adopting ethical behaviors asthe ultimate goal of ethics education, that behaviors are what both professional organizations andthe public ultimately care about, moving on to consider why the adoption of ethical behaviors asan educational outcome would be contentious, that accurately assessing the effects of educationon ethical behaviors is difficult if not impossible.
