the curriculum.In 1828, the Institution of Civil Engineers defined engineering as “the art of directinggreat sources of power in nature for the use and convenience of man.” 1 By 1956, thisdefinition expanded beyond harnessing physical phenomena to include “application ofknowledge” and “design and production.” 2 What remained consistent however, was theidea that engineering is artfully disposed. This suggests a level of care and understandingthat conjoins thought and feeling. If the transformation of science and technology intoproducts and systems requires empathy or “emotional union,” 3 (i.e., the projection of selfinto objects) then the education and training of engineers should include an understandingof intuitive processing.Engineers must

Strategies such as creating project-based clubs and academic learningcenters support application of knowledge outside the classroom, contributing to experience withengineering and computer science content [1], [2]. Bridge programs, research opportunities, andstudent group centers add to academic confidence while strengthening ties to people within anacademic community [3], [4], [5], [6]. Retention literature is closely tied to that of Self Efficacy(SE) and the value of Albert Bandura’s research [7].

The effectiveness of anintegrated STEM approach is enhanced when teachers to think outside the classroom byconsidering use of place-based resources. Consistent with the work of others, we argue thatwhen teachers become aware of the local resources and opportunities, and align thoseopportunities to the curriculum 7, they can broaden the curriculum focus and more effectivelyintegrate STEM content using the local resources as context for teaching and learning.

Hence, for the purpose of this study, only text matches that were eightwords in length or longer were counted as copied. This means that theses and dissertations thatonly had copied phrases seven words or less in length were coded as having no copied strings.Finally, since this study focused on textual copying, copied figures or charts were also

One method is to restructure the notes from a given classand place the set on Blackboard so the new notes respond to student issues raised in MuddiestPoints. This can reinforce class learning, clarify muddy points, and potentially assist in solvinghomework problems. A second method is with Class Warm-ups, which consist of a slide or twofor discussion at the beginning of the next class which can help clarify confusing or difficult-to-grasp concepts. Another method is to create Muddiest Point YouTube tutorial screencasts

Embracing emerging technologies,interactive learning platforms, and industry partnerships can revitalize engineering education,empowering students to not only grasp foundational principles but also actively contribute to thefrontiers of scientific exploration and technological breakthroughs [3].As concerns about environmental responsibility

The report does not contain systematic recommendationsfor team training among its numerous contributing sources. This absence may indicate that teamtraining measures do not keep up with the increased curricular use of team projects. In fact,students are often required to work in groups without adequate preparation and guidelines for suchinterpersonal interactions [2-9

While some engineering programs embed one stand-alone ethicscourse within a curriculum, other programs embed ethics modules across a few courses within acurriculum. Very few engineering programs weave engineering ethics across a four-yearundergraduate curriculum in a concerted and developmental way [7]. Engineering ethics taughtin stand-alone courses is usually offered within the first two years of study [4]. According toDavis [6], several engineering programs also embed ethical modules into technical writing andcommunication seminars, senior capstone projects, and introduction to engineering courses

experience is limitedto a single capstone project undertaken in their final year [13-15]. Despite the fact that engineering and scientific knowledge has grown at an astonishing rate overthe past century, engineering still only nominally requires 4 years of training (i.e., a bachelor’s degree) tobe able to enter and operate in the engineering workforce. For comparison, the number of years oftraining needed to practice law has increased from 4 to 7 and to practice medicine has increased from 3 to10 over the same time period. Given the breadth and depth of the technical knowledge students need tomaster, there are very few opportunities to incorporate additional non-technical material into mosttechnical courses, especially the engineering
