April 30 th marks #honesty Day here in the US. Take some time to discuss codes of ethics within
#engineering with your students. Here’s a link to the NSPE’s and ASCE’s codes. https://t.co/nEpLk8N8yS

The Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Museum of Design in Manhattan can be an excellent destination for a field trip for engineering students. It’s important to be exposed to different elements and uses of design. https://t.co/r10ZhNFZh0
Ever wonder how engineers today can gain a historic appreciation of their craft? Take a look at Engineering Iron and Stone by Thomas E. Boothby to see how civil engineers of the late 1800s conducted structural analysis.
Have you ever noticed how bridges and towers can be similar across time and space? Read The Tower and the Bridge by David Billington for an exploration of how art can be an essential part of good engineering design.
If you are looking for ways to encourage design thinking, have students watch #ProjectRunway. The contestants deal with timing, resources, iteration, and needs just like engineers do. Lead a discussion about how design is common between engineering and fashion.
Swimming pools are surprisingly old and elaborate engineering systems. Show your students that there’s more to pools than just beating the heat! https://t.co/FIRmMKUM0k #DiversityandInclusion#summer#Engineering
If you want to get kids serious about engineering you have to get them started on it early! #PurdueUniversity has a model for summer camps targeting interested students from 6th-11th grade. https://t.co/mVnjxePPDt
Global competency is an important engineering skill! The Institute for the International Education of Students has several study abroad programs that focus on the international education of engineering students. This is open to all students! https://t.co/WyLZ0ITpBS #STEM
Are you looking for ways to investigate the intersections of society and technology? Or even how user-
centered design can influence the world? Have a look at the development of exoskeletons to help
paraplegics walk. https://t.co/UIx1SeS1my
3D printed buildings are coming! Imagine what can be done with so few time and resources? Use this as
a case study to explore the intersections of society, policy, and new technology.

"Process-Driven Math is a form of math instruction and assessment that is User-Centered and improves accessibility of math to many students." @AnnLogan#CoNECD2019
Don't forget! WIE is holding a new event called Arts and Engineering They will show them off in the Rowan Art Gallery on TOMORROW, April 16th from 6-8pm.
Check out if your campus will host a #SafeZone training
session. Safe Zone seminars explore themes that are experienced by LGBTQ+ individuals.

Celebrate and explore the story of Lynn Conway, a transwoman who revolutionized Electrical and
Computer Engineering! She was able to rebuild her entire career after being discriminated against. Truly
an inspiration! https://t.co/FcT7SQWjNZ
While mainly used in service-learning, reflection can be used as a means for assessing student learning and development. You could use this to foster more critical thinkers in your class. https://t.co/orO00qi1Lu
