Spatial visualization (i.e., thinking in 3D), is an essential skill for engineering students. Learning to freehand-sketch orthographics and isometrics increases spatial skills and performance in many engineering subjects. Sketching skills also aid concept generation and sharing technical ideas with teammates. The Spatial Vis™ software makes it more engaging for students to learn and easier to teach technical sketching. Students sketch on a computer, tablet, or smartphone, and their sketches are graded automatically. If a student makes a mistake they receive a small hint and are encouraged to try ... (continued)

Engineering Education has continually called for implementing inclusive and diverse teaching practices to invite and accommodate the needs of a plurality of learners. One way to respond to this call is through the use of Universal Design for Learning (UDL). UDL is a framework created to guide educators in designing learning experiences in an accessible and engaging way. The principles of UDL focus on reducing barriers and rethinking the learning environment rather than forcing the learner into a single learning model. This workshop invites current and aspiring engineering educators to collaborati ... (continued)

Background - The ProQual approach. The premise of the ProQual approach is that training faculty on how to conduct high-quality qualitative research should begin not with an overview of approaches, theories, and methods. Rather, it should begin by helping participants flesh out the social system that interests them, and then to define which specific parts of that social system they want to investigate. We call this approach a “methodologically unencumbered” introduction to educational research, intending to arrive at a “social reality under investigation” (SRUI): A tightly scoped segment of a larg ...

Connecting technical knowledge with ethical inquiry in engineering coursework fosters deeper engagement with course content and critical reflection on technical challenges, yet this approach is often overlooked in engineering classes. Questions regarding ethics in engineering may appear in first-year programs or in capstone as “one-and-done” lessons, but ethical considerations should be broadly integrated across the curriculum. This integration helps students see the essential relationships between the technical content of engineering and the tough decisions that they will inevitably make as prof ... (continued)
