While there were clear learningobstacles to overcome in the class, it was even more challenging for part-time students who wereeither working to support themselves financially or doing an internship. Consider the followingtwo anonymous comments from students of the Summer 2015 class, which are reflective of someof the difficulties faced by the students: 1. Less homework. It’s impossible to finish if you work and have other priorities in life. 2. The difficulty of the class. The home works were

The firsttool was a series of workshops taught by the tutors, guiding the students in reflecting on theirexperiences so far in the course and how they fit into a fixed or growth mindset. The second toolwas a handout listing resources, tools, and tips successful computing students frequently use toget unstuck.

The demonstration was confusing at first, but I feel like struggling my way through it really helped me understand the concepts. It was helpful to be required to solve these equations and calculate actual values. It was, however, do to inconsistent data, unhelpful to get values that were no reflective of reality. Yes, the hands on nature of directly seeing the effects of the energy balance helped me understand the equation visually and mentally.

approaches with technical engineering skills. This requires anenhanced curriculum with a focus on student teamwork, a greater consideration of social context,improved communication with diverse constituents, and reflection on an ethical understanding oftheir decisions and solutions. Effective faculty members need to mirror these values and skills intheir instruction and mentoring. Efforts have begun to reimagine the “engineering canon” whichrequires a shift from positioning engineering as a purely technical endeavor to framing it associo-technical. We are developing a new General Engineering program that incorporates thisperspective [30]. In addition, we are developing modules that emphasize the sociotechnicalnature of engineering for traditional

Thus, changing to the Arduino allowedfor advances to the projects being conducted in the classes. Also, choosing to use the Arduinorequired the curriculum developers to design a chassis to make the microcontroller mobile for theENGR 120 robot challenge. This chassis construction added more fabrication opportunities forthe students to experience.When the Arduino was implemented in the curriculum in 2011, updates were made to coursematerials to reflect the new microcontroller. However, since that time six years ago, the coursehas not undergone a major update. Viewing curriculum as a living document, faculty atLouisiana Tech

These results are interesting, because the stateof Michigan as a whole has one of the largest per-capita populations of engineers in the country.Yet, the greater Lansing metropolitan area is a bit of an exception to that trend, with very fewtechnology based employers. That is reflected in this data, with only 14 students reporting thattheir parents are engineers. The majority of those responding that they knew an engineer tendedto cite a more distant relationship both in terms of bloodline and geography.Many of the survey questions focused on student perceptions of what do engineers do, and whatdoes it take to become an engineer.

Civil Engineering Capstone Design which exposesthe senior engineering students to real-world design challenges reflects experiences students willface as professionals, benefiting those who plan to pursue engineering careers after graduation.Exposing students to both the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Envision RatingSystem aligns with both the ASCE BOK and ABET criteria requiring engineers to understandthe importance of sustainability within their designs. The Capstone Design projects examinedwithin this study are all infrastructure projects which did not address all of the UN SustainableDevelopment Goals, but they did address eight out of the seventeen. With the addition of theEnvision Rating System students learned to think beyond
