It isvirtually impossible to use the course delivery and assessment methods previously used in face-to-face classroom setting without modifications for use in an online setting. The activitiespreviously used in a face-to-face classroom setting have to be replaced with similar activitieswhich are conducive to be used in an online setting.The course delivery methods and instructional activities part aside, assessments methods must bemodified as well for use in an online setting. While one of the reasons being that some of theassessment methods cannot be effectively used in an online setting, the other
(CEL) can be defined as a type of experiential learning wherestudents collaborate with members of the broader community in support of learning goals.Service learning can also be considered a type of CEL. One stakeholder framework for CELprojects in a university setting is that they serve three main stakeholders with these being thecommunity, students and the university. CEL should provide value to the community partners byproviding a benefit to their organization which can take a variety of forms. CEL should providestudents an opportunity to apply the skills they are developing to a meaningful project. In termsof the university curriculum, CEL should provide opportunities for engagement and reflection onlearning outcomes. The reflection piece

other engineering education institutions: at heart, the project aims to helpstudents better understand, and hence be better prepared for, their post-graduation futures. Lackof student preparation in all dimensions needed to succeed in the engineering environment–a“misalignment” between engineering education and practice has long been noted, and manyengineering graduates still endure a challenging transition to the workforce [1], [2]. To addressthis need, engineering educators have incorporated project-based learning in the curriculum [3],[4], [5], including capstones [6] and design projects [7]. [7] proposes more broadly that“curriculum developers and instructors should employ an integrative approach where studentscan connect their use of

, faculty atEmbry-Riddle Aeronautical University began integrating communication instruction with thesenior capstone design classes in 2003. This effort was formalized in 2013 when a one-semesterSpeech class was replaced with a two-semester Advanced Technical Communication class that isco-taught with the capstone classes.For these co-taught courses, a communication instructor and an engineering instructor work intandem to guide student teams through the year-long design process. Teams report on theirprogress and results through technical reports and presentations modeled after those used inindustry.Problem DefinedThe authors, who co-teach a mechanical engineering senior capstone design class, have observedthat students come to their capstone
passion for the engineering profession among students. Theseprograms often adopt engaged pedagogies that integrate technical and non-technical (e.g., ethicsand communication) competencies into the curriculum. A major goal of such an integrativeapproach to engineering education is to present students with a more holistic vision of theengineering profession, and communicate to students that skills necessary for good, responsibleengineering are integrative by nature. Therefore, it is relatively natural that instructors oftenassess the efficacy of these pedagogies in their classes in terms of how these pedagogies affectstudents’ ethical perceptions and the development of their ethical competencies. As a result,some first-year engineering instructors
societyIntroductionCommunity engaged learning (CEL) involves students interacting with community groupsthrough a partnership which provides benefits to the community group and furthers studentlearning. Within literature service learning is one common form of CEL. There is a rich historyof CEL in engineering curriculum [1]. CEL has been found to provide a number of benefitsincluding motivation for social engagement [2], communication skills development[3] andacademic benefits [4], [5].Given these benefits, CEL was integrated into a second-year chemical engineering design coursein order to enhance skill development in students and with a particular focus on EngineersCanada Graduate Attribute (GA) development [6]. In particular we focus on GA 9 being theimpact of
request anonymous feedback on the course at the end of each quarter to provide an alternate forum for their voice to be heard.c) In addition to teamwork and communication, we also embed diversity content in the curriculum. A highlight of the year is when we invite guest speakers to talk about their experiences as women in the engineering workplace. Hearing about how women have been and continue to be treated as engineers is an eye-opening discussion for the students. We also include practical applications for the students. For example, we discuss what they should do if they see someone disrespecting someone from an underrepresented group in the workplace. Another major theme in the course is ethics, where we study ethical dilemmas
