American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021A Characterization of Engineering and Computer Science Undergraduate Participation in High Impact Educational Practices at Two Western Land Grant Institutions IntroductionTo maintain its technological competitiveness and innovation leadership into the 21st century,the United States requires a robust engineering and computer science (E/CS) workforce withsubstantial diversity across gender and underrepresented racial and ethnic minority groups [1][2]. However, there are growing concerns about the ability of U.S. educational
undergraduate engineering programs. He has advised on over forty (40) Senior Design Projects and his teams of students have received five (5) National Championships and three Best Design Awards. In the recent years, he has challenged himself with the creation of an effective methodology for successful Invention and Innovation. He was part of a 14 member multi-disciplinary team to design and create the ”Society, Ethics, and Technology (SET)” course at TCNJ in 1994 and has taught multiple regular and Honors sections of this course since then. He is currently leading a multi- disciplinary team of faculty from TCNJ’s School of Engineering and the Department of Sociology for assessment of the Professional Formation of Engineers
teaching methods and tools, he has received grants and established collaborations with colleagues from different fields and countries. Dr. Gulacar has developed and organized workshops about implementation of social constructivist methods and effective use of technological tools in science classrooms.Dr. Jennifer H. Choi, University of California, Davis Jennifer Choi is currently a Lecturer with potential for security of employment (LPSOE) in the Depart- ment of Biomedical Engineering (BME) at UC Davis. In addition to teaching core undergraduate courses, Jennifer is aimed at integrating engineering design principles and hands-on experiences throughout the curriculum, and playing an active role in the senior design
Career Theory to Explore Factors Influencing the Post Baccalaureate Decisions of High Achieving Black Engineering StudentsAbstractThe literature indicates that the representation of minority science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) professionals is significantly disproportionate to minority representation inthe U.S. general population and workforce, thereby impacting the current pool of primarilyWhite male STEM professionals’ ability to meet the rapidly changing demands facing theengineering industry. The need to increase the numbers of science and engineering degreesconferred to ethnic minorities at the baccalaureate level and beyond is evident. This paper sharesdata from the first phase of

In her thesis, titled ’Integrating top-down and bottom-up nanomanufacturing: Controlling the growth and composition of seeded nanostructures’, an innovative nanomanufacturing method is explored and optimized. Upon graduation, she started her career as Senior System Design Engineer at Lumedyne Technologies. She worked on design, simulation, and
projects by using mnemonics in the Visual Basicsoftware and by using functional blocks in the LabVIEW software. Finally the students use theindustrial software in the lab. The overall object of the virtual lab is to allow the students to bothgain theoretical knowledge and experience the creation of electrical power systems. In the virtuallab the students also gain experience in the use and operation of software used in industry.

teaching ofethics in engineering education.There is strong evidence that active learning can be beneficial to learning in science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields in general. A meta-analysis by Freeman et al. of225 studies compares student learning outcomes in lectures versus active learning inundergraduate STEM courses [3]. The researchers found that when instructors used activelearning strategies, student exam scores increased significantly and student failure ratesdecreased significantly when compared to students whose instructors used lecture methods alone.Such instruction is useful in engineering specifically.
