gapbetween the professional skills of recent engineering graduates and the expectations ofemployers [8, 9]. These studies suggest that more traditional coursework and individualassignments do not adequately address some of the most important skills for practicingengineers. These project assignments are designed to offer additional opportunities for studentsto develop teamwork skills, positioning them for success both in their capstone design coursesand in their professional careers after graduation.Methods: Curriculum-Wide Chemical Process ProjectThe Haber-Bosch process for ammonia synthesis was implemented in the courses indicated inbold in Table 1.

This lab plays asignificant role in preparing students for such upper-level courses with more practicalprojects such as courses on “Embedded Systems”, “Testing of Digital Circuits”, but mostimportantly, students take a great deal of experience from the lab and apply it to their seniorcapstone projects, as well as, in their future careers.3.1 Course Content and Outcomes The following lists some of the educational goals and the students’ acquired knowledge and skills upon completion of our digital logic laboratory course: o Design and implementation of logic circuits: theory, simulation, physical circuit o Introduction to TTL Gates o Design with small-scale integration (SSI) and medium-scale integration (MSI

As programming becomes an increasingly central component offirst-year engineering curricula, it is essential that instructors are able to uphold academicintegrity by identifying students who engage in misconduct, either through direct plagiarism orexcessive peer collaboration. Instructors have an arsenal of plagiarism detection tools at theirdisposal, and students are keenly

(It can be argued that this is typical of all people, who put the most time andenergy into actions that are most rewarding for them.) In specs grading, the overall grade isoften linked to the number of learning outcomes that are mastered. This means that for a studentwhose goal is a “C,” they might opt not to take a reassessment, or to meet a lower bar for a termproject. Alternatively, it can inspire students to master one or two more learning outcomes inorder to move up to the desired grade level. The key is that it is the student’s decision, and it is amore clear-eyed decision in the specs grading environment. It should

Two exceptional educators reached out during the research to say that they were no longerin the country, having just begun their academic and professional careers abroad. These starkrealities were further expounded by the deans and provosts of the College of engineering whodiscussed how difficult it was to fill the entry-level positions of faculty in their engineeringprograms, most of whom, they claimed had decided to resign and continue their

The first thirtyminutes of class time are typically spent as a whole group with the faculty instructors coveringthe main themes of the day through a mix of lecture and group activities. In the last hour,former-STS-student TAs lead activities that reinforce the STS Postures and topics covered in thefirst 30 minutes.

As one student noted, “The labs were a good way to build basic lab skills andexposure for students who were previously unable to work in a college lab”. By the end of thecourse, 87% agreed or strongly agreed with the survey comment, “Gaining hands-on lab skills isan important part of this course. I believe it should be continued, possibly with more labs, infuture years.”Figure 2: Comparison of students’ confidence in their lab skills before and after completing each of thethree labs.

Instead, they sought to understand the differences in perceptions ofpair programming between female and male students in an introductory programming coursethrough thematic analysis of survey questions. A majority of men and women had positivesentiments around pair programming. The positive themes included improved learningexperience, gaining career skills, and networking, many of the very same benefits suggested bysocial constructivist learning theory. Women reported that they experienced social benefits, suchas improved confidence, more often than men. Men reported experienced benefits to the overallprocess of completing lab
