problem in its simplest terms and “fix” it without understanding what the issue really is or if it [i]s an issue at all. I think deep listening is an essential tool for being an engineer. We have to learn to listen, to understand things deeply and from multiple perspectives, and then approach the problem with all these things in mind. 7Another student expressed similar sentiments about the need for empathy and perspective takingfor engineering to have positive impacts: Engineers need to be more than tech-smart, we need to be able to empathize and connect with the world, see it for what it truly is and

[BLINDED FOR REVIEW]. Students in the program participate voluntarily in research projects lead bymentors who are part of the academic staff of the department. The Icarus Program was developed with threeprimary goals: • to boost undergraduate student interest and experience in diverse and interdisciplinary projects; • to foster close collaboration between academic mentors and small groups of students, and • to leverage this engagement to elevate student learning pathways, student career outcomes, and [BLINDED FOR REVIEW]’s national and international reputation for producing the leaders of tomorrow. The Icarus program was created on several premises: 1. Research

Hence the committeeresurrected idea of assessing each outcome in the affective domain, using the Taxonomy ofEducation Objectives Volume II - Affective Domain [7] as a guide.Educational TaxonomiesFrameworks for assessing intellectual and emotional development have existed since at least thelate 1800s, but a common framework and language that defined activities and concepts toeffectively classify and assess intellectual and emotional development across the disparategroups in education did not exist [8]. In the mid-twentieth century a group of educationalexaminers, led by Benjamin S. Bloom, committed themselves to create this common framework.They met annually as a working

-term projects than a single semester or year would permit. This allows faculty to take on more ambitious projects; it gives new students experience in coming up to speed on an existing project - as they'll inevitably need to do in a future workplace; and, it gives returning students leadership experience, as they help on-board and organize the activities of new members. 3. The program is curricular and all participating students are graded (A-F; not P/F or S/U). VIP is not an extra- or co-curricular activity. It is a sequence of courses whose credits count towards students' degree requirements. Letter grading holds students accountable for their work. In many ways

The PanelView HMI is configured with the FactoryTalk View Studiosoftware and has SCADA features configured for data acquisition and control of an Allen BradleyMicrologix 1000 PLC through an RS-232 serial connection. The communications configurationfor this HMI application is unique because it allows for assessments of a SCADA system wherethe PLC is wired through a serial connection opposed to Ethernet.Summary of Student InvolvementThis project started with the announcement of Enhancing Undergraduate Research Experiences &Creative Activities (EURECA)’s Faculty and Student Team (FAST) project/grant announcementswhere
