Abstract :
This interactive session is for engineering faculty interested in curriculum reform, real-world engineering problem-solving aimed at upper-level content, and addressing ABET Criteria. Participants will take part in a Model-Eliciting Activity (MEA) group problem-solving session and learn the fundamental principles for developing an MEA. Participants will gain an understanding of the process involved in making advanced engineering content accessible to undergraduate students through a well-formulated MEA. They will also learn about new and innovative ways to integrate ethics into the classroom and use problem-solving as a means to elicit misconceptions.
