Session Description

This special session invites participants to consider how to develop students’ transversal
competencies in engineering education. Despite broad agreement about the importance of transversal skills for engineering students, such as collaboration and communication skills, from instructors, industry and accreditation boards (ABET, 2023; ENAEE, 2023; Kolmos and Holgaard, 2019; Passow and Passow, 2017), there are complexities in how they can be operationalized and importantly whether students are actually acquiring relevant knowledge, skills, and attitudes. This session will assist educators to adopt ... (continued)

FDD Business Meeting

Session Description

Affirmative action (AA) policies in American history have been controversial due to ideological disagreements, particularly in prioritizing equality versus equity. Although affirmative action policies intend to dismantle all forms of discrimination, such as race, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnic origin, and age, race/ethnicity draws the most attention. Recently, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against race-conscious admissions policies, effectively limiting affirmative action practices in higher education, including in engineering education.

While numerous efforts have been ... (continued)
