An engineeringeducation integrated with ethics as a way to make longer-lasting systemic change [13], [12].Incorporating experiences such as community outreach and guest speakers helps, in part, toframe an education in the ethical issues beyond the workplace [16]; however, this is just anextension, albeit a very valuable one, of the current education strategy. More recent papershave proposed game-based learning experiences, or ‘playful learning’ as a way for students toimmerse themselves in ethical issues and consider them from new perspectives [9], [8].

Thinking via Pictures: Getting Students Started through Graphing Stephen A. Dyer Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS 66506 USAAbstractVisual languages are among the most important to the STEM disciplines, but most students en-tering a STEM curriculum seem to have little ability to think or converse in any visual language.Further, there are few curricula that include a formal course in either basic graphics or the art ofapproximation. One foundational visual language is that of two-dimensional presentation of quan-titative information and mathematical relationships. This paper offers some topics to

The money will be used to buy much needed equipment and revise themanufacturing and mechanical engineering technology programs. The industrial partnershipswill become an integral part of the culture at EWU. These partnerships have already resulted in Page 11.1421.6several paid internships for our students.

Among the students, we have undergraduate and graduate populationsfrom engineering, business administration, and other disciplines within the sciences andhumanities.The undergraduate student data were collected at three universities: 1. Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST): from students taking a freshman-level course focused on the fundamentals of conceptual design and critical thinking [24]. 2. Anonymous U.S. University: from the entire entering class of 2015 to a new Integrated Design Program (IDP). 3.

Each semester, diverse teams of three to five studentswith complementary skills in the areas of computer, electronic, industrial, and mechanicalengineering technology apply the product realization process to research, brainstorm, design,build, test and validate project deliverables. The authors of this paper have both taught thiscapstone design project and provide an analysis of the characteristics of this model and itsoutcomes,A particular opportunity arose when the authors co-taught the course in spring 2020 and thismodel was

Thepressure on control as a class increases with the advent of a strong push to reduce curriculumsfrom 130+ credits to 120 credits to increase enrollment into engineering and make in theoryretention of students in engineering easier. There have been papers published trying to push majorchanges in control education methodologies many limiting or removing Laplace Domain usageand increasing use of nonlinear simulations, and yet not happened to large extent [2],[3],[4],[5],[6].Perhaps best summarized as follows: “Process control is a core course in the chemical engineeringundergraduate curriculum, yet it sometimes suffers from an over-emphasis on
construction in an efficient manner.The team put significant effort into providing a high quality facility that can be used for teachingand research purposes. While the design project worked well as a capstone project, theconstructed water channel will be used as a valuable facility in both Mechanical Engineering andElectro-Mechanical Engineering Technology programs.1.

teachers were trained to fabricate DSSCs as partof an ongoing NSF RET program. The materials and equipment used for producing DSSCs arebasic, and a standard procedure was formulated for the work to be replicated in a regular classroom.DSSCs were constructed using fruit juices from blackberry, raspberry, mulberry, blueberry, andstrawberry. The absorption spectra of fruit dyes, along with food dyes, were examined in contrastto the solar spectrum. Teachers demonstrate the working principle of DSSCs and integrate hands-on activities into the K-12 curriculum. As the outcome, students should be able to (1) explain howa dye-sensitized solar cell converts sunlight into electricity; (2) design and build a dye-sensitizedsolar cell from basic components; (3
application.Previous Course Content:Since 2012 the content of the Introduction to Composites (PCE 372) course consisted of lecturetopics, a prescribed laboratory exercise, and two projects. The lecture content covered a largevariety of topics but had its focus in room temperature materials and processes. An AdvancedComposites course was (and is) also part of the curriculum and focused more on classicallamination theory and elevated temperature materials and manufacturing process.The prerequisite for the introductory course is an introduction to polymers and processing thatmainly focused on the basics of polymer chemistry and thermoplastic materials. The goal of theintroductory composites course is to enable the students to understand the basics of
University of South Alabama(USA) began, in Fall 1993, an evaluation of the undergraduate program to meet the challenge ofengineering education for the 21st Century. Restructuring of the mechanical engineering curriculum atUSA is also prompted by the changing ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology)requirements for design. Under the current criteria, design is defined as "an experience that must grow withthe student's development," and "the design experience is developed and integrated throughout thecurriculum"1. In addition to the development of student creativity, formulation of design problemstatements and specifications, consideration of alternative solutions, and feasibility considerations, ABETsuggests that design should also

Computer Programming Skills to Engineering Students Using Mekin2D Modular Kinematics SubroutinesAbstractComputer programing is a fundamental discipline taught early in the curriculum to allundergraduate engineering majors. Fewer opportunities exist however for students to practicetheir programing skills before they graduate. In this paper, a number of computer programingexercises on planar mechanism kinematic simulation given to Mechanical Engineering studentsat Texas A&M University Corpus Christi are presented. Students are instructed on how todownload the MeKin2D subroutines and the Free Pascal Integrated Development Environment(IDE) on their computer. Then they perform, as homework assignments, three exercises usingthese

their social positions and unconscious biases might be operating in teamdynamics (DiAngelo, 2011). Recognizing the value of the work we have done on a smaller scaleand also the above, our university has, for instance, taken steps to begin to integrate this work ata programmatic level across the curriculum so that students have regular and repeated exposureto it. We have also, however, seen instances where this work does help privileged studentsbecome more aware of these processes and become able to recognize when they are happening.Such students then work to further understand and counteract the effects of stereotyping andbias, as one of our students writes: “As a white-passing male, I now feel obligated to learn moreabout the systems and

These two modules areinfluenced by the Framework for K-12 Science Education: Practices, Crosscutting Concepts,and Core Ideas [20] published by the National Resource Council in 2012. This frameworkprovides an approach to strengthen and diversify the STEM pipeline through three dimensions:core ideas, scientific and engineering practices, and cross-cutting concepts. This framework,which additionally calls to address lack of diversity in STEM by equalizing opportunities tolearn, serves as the basis of the NGSS [21]. We used this framework to drive the design of ourmodules. We report here on the development of the two

This framing of engineering codes of ethics begins to expandfrom microethical issues into larger macroethical issues such as sustainability and socialresponsibility. Social responsibility (SR) has been defined as “an ethical theory that an entity, beit an organization or individual, has an obligation to act to benefit society at large.” 2 In thecontext of engineering, Vanasupa et al.3 define SR as “the responsibility of engineers to carefullyevaluate the full range of broader impacts of their designs on the health, safety and welfare of thepublic and the environment.” Some have suggested that engineering ethics education should
