A Direct Method for Simultaneously Teaching and Measuring Engineering Professional Skills Edwin Schmeckpeper1, Ashley Ater Kranov2, Steve Beyerlein3, Jay McCormack4, Pat Pedrow5Abstract – Proficiency in professional skills related to teamwork, ethical responsibility,communication skills, the impact of engineering solutions, life-long learning, and contemporaryissues is critical for success in the multi-disciplinary, intercultural team interactions thatcharacterize 21st century engineering careers. Yet, programs across the nation have struggled todefine, teach, and measure professional skills since their introduction as ABET criteria forengineering programs in 2000. The Engineering Professional Skills Assessment (EPSA) is

This course involves student discussions and studentreports and examples of the type of topics that are considered for these purposes are described.IntroductionIn the delivery of engineering programs environmental problems are often treated toosimplistically. In reality the solutions to such problems frequently involve choosing betweenoptions that all have their own unique advantages, drawbacks, and limitations and involvedealing with complex and often contradictory ethical considerations. It seems important,therefore, to expose engineering students to complex real-world environmental problems whichinvolve making difficult decisions about which solution to adopt. The environmental

engineer will entail: “strong analytical skills, practicalingenuity, creativity, good communication skills, business and management knowledge,leadership, high ethical standards, professionalism, dynamism, agility, resilience, flexibility, andthe pursuit of lifelong learning.”Furthermore, in 2008, the NAE identified fourteen global challenges for the 21st century. GrandChallenges are key initiatives fostering innovations to solve the world’s problems in relation tosustainability, health, vulnerability, and human wellbeing. Subsequently, in 2009, the NAEGrand Challenges Scholars Program (GCSP) was announced at the GC Summit in Durham,North Carolina9, 10. The intent of the GCSP is to prepare students via a combination of curricularand extra
support studentdevelopment of professional competencies and engineering identity. Resources include a set ofrubrics for 12 professional competencies often associated with experiential learning (teamwork,ethics, global & cultural awareness, etc.). Structures include our new web-based learningresource platform, which we believe provides important professional and identity developmentsupport to students who engage with it. Furthermore, we believe that this approach can be doneat scale and provide meaningful support to the thousands of undergrads at our institution.Utilizing these supports and analyzing student outcomes will provide an exceptional opportunityto advance our understanding of the professional formation of engineering graduates

Some have opted for take-home or open-book, open-notesexams, while others take advantage of the variety of software that monitors student activitiesduring exams. In the end, academic integrity comes down to trust and ethics. Students must bedriven to build this strong sense of ethics that will be with them throughout their engineeringcareers. Students (and everyone) should strive to do what is right and fair even when no one islooking.Time should be taken upfront in an online learning environment to teach students how to succeedin this environment.

Yet, no studies haveexplored how ill-structured problems, specifically used in engineering classroom contexts,promote learners’ understanding of their own social realities. Our study seeks to redress this gapin the literature by exploring how the ill-structured characteristic of an engineering mechanics-based PBL unit fostered learner’s understanding of the world around them.We use Freire’s critical consciousness (CC) to understand how a learner comes to understand theworld, its injustices, and their individual responsibility to resolve those injustices [20]. There
can occur across many areas of engineering problemsolving. Engineers might leverage divergent thinking when developing their understanding of theproblem and its context, identifying stakeholders, or exploring potential problem-solvingmethods and strategies [9]. As educational tools, stories have been employed to convey complex factors that impactengineering solutions in practice, such as ethics [20], conflicting technical requirements [21],sustainable development [22], and the human impacts of engineering decisions [23]. Accounts ofhow individual engineers have pursued divergent thinking in their workplace may be helpfulpedagogical tools for engineering students to better understand its importance and motivateefforts to learn more.

The participating preserviceteachers’ disciplinary specializations were Social Studies (n = 3), English Language Arts (n = 8),and Mathematics (n = 12). We found that all students portrayed that learning goals aboutartificial intelligence (in general) and machine learning (in particular) were relevant to their focaldisciplinary areas and their understanding of literate participation in society. Additionally, someTCs focused on students’ understandings of the social and ethical dimensions of artificialintelligence technologies. This included perceptions of the ethical dimensions of AI and thediverse cultural

design projects. Senior capstonedesign courses share many common features [21,22]. They synthesize knowledge gained duringthe degree program and they instill professional values such as ethics and societal relevance.Many programs feature industry sponsored projects [23-27] while others feature competitions[24,28]. The ability to work on an interdisciplinary team is becoming a more common goal:Colorado School of Mines, Harvey Mudd, Missouri-Rolla, and Lake Superior State amongothers have established multi-disciplinary team project courses [29-32].Design courses in the sophomore and junior years are less common. A sophomore course maybe an introductory design course (used instead of a freshman course) [33], or it may expand on afreshman course to

indicators. Students should use information by recognizing the need,using it effectively, evaluating it, using it ethically and legally, and recognizing its changingnature. Since freshman engineering students need to learn the same things, engaging the newlibrarians in teaching basic information literacy components to freshman engineering studentsseemed to be a good place to train them.The learning process included three significant steps: Observation, reflection (and input), andpractice. A key component was to maintain the novice librarian’s engagement at each stage ofthe learning process. The novice librarians first observed sections of the in-class component,taught by an experienced engineering librarian, with the knowledge that they would be

Professional Practice (CAP3) began by analyzing the three fundamentalcharacteristics of a profession—an ethic of service, a professional organization, and a specializedbody of knowledge.2 The committee’s analysis of the civil engineering profession suggested thatonly the first two of these three characteristics had been adequately defined. Thus began abroad-based effort to define the Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge.In January 2004 this endeavor achieved a major milestone with ASCE’s publication of CivilEngineering Body of Knowledge for the 21st Century—a report describing the knowledge, skills,and attitudes necessary for entry into the practice of civil engineering at the professional level.3This report describes the Civil Engineering Body of
course goals include: (i) introduce students to open ended problems at the community level;(ii) help students develop the skills to solve those problems and provide holistic engineeringsolutions that are sustainable and appropriate to the community being served; (iii) help studentsdevelop cultural and social awareness; (iv) help students work in interdisciplinary teams; (v) givestudents the opportunity to reflect on the importance of their community service; (vi) givestudents a professional work ethic, and (vii) help students gain a better understanding of theimportance of engineering in society and in community development. Two different models forthe course have been used: in year one, a single team of three students worked on two

Students in Engineering Design through Engineers Without Borders ProjectsAbstractIt is important that first year engineering students learn that the engineering design processinvolves more than mathematics and physics. To accomplish this, students choose designprojects from a variety of disciplines, developed with Engineers Without Borders (Canada) andsituated in either a developing country or a remote area of Canada. All projects required, not onlya technical solution, but also consideration of ethics, health and safety, economics, and impact onthe community. Among the design projects were a rain-water harvesting system and ceramicwater filter for villagers in Cambodia and a press for extracting oil and producing biodiesel
