ago I became involved in an interdisciplinary program whichwas at that time aimed at first-year curriculum here in the College of Engineering atUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison; I teach a first-year required course in basiccommunication, and this new program offered a way to more closely link thatcommunications course to other engineering, math, and science courses. Others fromUW have published papers and given presentations on different aspects of the UWeffort in this program, which we call “the Links Program.” “Links” is funded by theFoundation Coalition, which is an NSF program to encourage problem solving acrossthe curriculm and link learning communities for freshmen.

pathway has always been open to Georgia Tech students, andanecdotally it is very clear that many Georgia Tech students have found their own way intoteaching over the years. However because this career goal was not previously recognized byGeorgia Tech as one worthy of tracking, there is no data available about how many GeorgiaTech alumni have historically entered the teaching workforce.Beginning in 2009, the National Science Foundation awarded Georgia Tech an Innovationthrough Institutional Integration (I 3) grant, entitled Tech to Teaching, to specifically foster careerpaths in K-12 STEM education and to promote teaching skills for graduate students entering theprofessoriate. This program includes various initiatives to draw more science and
a method of teaching that integrates community service into an academiccourse through applied learning to enrich the educational experience of students and meet theneeds of the community. In this paper, we describe the integration of service-learning into anundergraduate industrial engineering course.Over the past three years, students in the course have worked with four community partners tocomplete service-learning projects. The community partners have included a high school,community library, local farm, and an assistive technology center. Students worked directly withcommunity partners to improve operations and ergonomics within their facilities. Through theprojects, students gained a deeper understand of the course content, as well as

in basic humanneeds. Additionally, it is important to implement these innovations through social entrepreneurship andleadership efforts for achieving the desired societal impact. To apply the above principles effectively,students (especially the Gen-Z students) need to have a skill set in understanding the role of engineeringinnovations in a globalized society with an attitude of leadership to serve society [16], which was themotivation behind this class. Selected successful social innovations across the world were studiedthrough the lens of fundamental science and engineering along with the societal impact. At the sametime, students also reflected on how the innovators applied/integrated leadership skills/approacheswith social

It is noted here that while students are introduced to theconcept of center of mass, moment of inertia in calculus, physics and statics, simple exercisesmentioned above reinforce these fundamental concepts.Computer Aided Drawings:An integral part of this project is for students to produce the component and assembled drawingsusing CAD software. The intent here is two fold. This exercise keeps the students current ontheir CAD skills and provides an opportunity to export the CAD drawings into a professionalreport.

As we write this report we summarizethe progress of the various teams and reflect on the value of the project to their overall learningobjectives.

integrating collaborative educational technologies likeMicrosoft Teams, Slack, and Discord into the class to promote group work outside of class.Students are using these features anyway and they can be a great way to increase peer-to-peercommunication in the class. Professors should go above and beyond to establish and encouragepersonal communications between students and teachers, whether via email, message board, orother channels. Facilitating group work during class meetings is vital to information retentionand helps to foster relationships between students and the professor, even though the class isonline. Professors should also make an effort to be reliable and consistent throughout the class;they should post information in a timely manner, keep

information—in order to create useful toolsand technologies. Consequently, engineering education has the objective of not only presenting thescientific principles, i.e., engineering science, but also of teaching students how to apply these toreal problems. It is not surprising, therefore, that hands-on laboratories have been an integral part ofthe engineering curriculum since its inception [1]. Their importance has been recognized by theAccreditation Board of Engineering Education (ABET) and its predecessors by creation of criteriarequiring adequate laboratory practice for students [2-6]. Unfortunately, during the last severaldecades, engineering laboratories have become highly complex and expensive, with multiplesimulation tools and computer
instructive fortheir future? In many introductory courses teaching practical tools can be risky. The fear is tohave obsolete tools by the time the students graduate. Consequently, in many schools during thelast few decades of the 20th century, the emphasis has been on mathematical and scientificconcepts. Such an approach would build a good foundation for the future classes. It would alsobe a fundamental concept that will remain the same by the time the students graduate. Finally,with that approach from the first class the serious and intellectually capable students would beencouraged to stay with the program and the rest to change fields. In fact, this approach soundsattractive to many of my colleagues, especially those who are focusing on having

integration ofother means of mounting and testing can follow in future design iterations. This project was intended to provide the sponsoring institute with materials testingmachines that are compact and cheap enough that multiple working models could be used in ahands-on undergraduate lab or classroom. A group of students must be able to produce a fairlyaccurate and representative stress-strain curve if given a test specimen and one of thesemachines. It was determined that the machine should not require more manual input via a crankto operate than an average person could easily provide. The output data should equally be easy tocompile, view, export, and interpret. Additionally, the machine should be able to be easilyoperated and serviced with

resultingfrom primary stress. It would be appropriate to include a course in structural analysis usingFEA, but there is not time in the curriculum for it. Instead, the specialized ship structuralanalysis software MAESTRO is introduced in the ship structures course. MAESTRO is amodified FEA program developed by Professor Owen Hughes of Virginia Tech and currentlymaintained by DRS Technologies, Advanced Marine Technology Center where it has beenupdated and modernized over the years. MAESTRO analyzes ship and ship structures using apanel method (where the panel is in effect an element of the FEA). It was specifically designedfor ship structures. Because of this, it is relatively easy for students to use to conduct basic shipstructural analysis.MAESTRO is

ABET/EAC visit under EC2000. In addition, we share how the insights gained willbe used for continuous improvement of our engineering programs.I. Important Differences Between Mason Engineering Programs and Traditional SchoolsThe undergraduate engineering degree programs in the School of Information Technology andEngineering of George Mason University recently underwent an ABET visit under the EC2000criteria. The four undergraduate degree programs that were assessed were: civil andinfrastructure engineering, computer engineering, electrical engineering, and systemsengineering. George Mason’s engineering program is non-traditional in several important waysthat influence the preparation for and compliance with the new ABET criteria. In this
