. These projects comprise a significant portion of the engineeringcurriculum at the college, and students at the college have reported in exit surveys that theseprojects have had significant impact on the formation of their engineering identity.The initial hypothesis of this paper was that positive team experiences, facilitated by similar goalorientations among team members, contribute to increased performance in team projects andenhanced engineering identity. To examine this hypothesis, ten semi-structured interviews wereadministered to seven students in two courses. The courses were a first-year introduction toengineering design and a third-year, industry-sponsored capstone project class. Students in theintroductory course were interviewed

Work-in-progress: Examining engineering seniors students’ perception of justice and fairness of grading practicesThis work-in-progress paper reports preliminary results about engineering students’ perceptions of thejustice and fairness in grading. The paper quantitatively compares students’ perceptions between aspecifications graded and traditionally graded capstone class and analyzes qualitative comments aboutstudents’ overall perceptions of grading. Specifications grading, as defined by Nilson (2015), is a systemof assigning grades primarily characterized by grading each assignment as pass or no-pass (i.e., fail).Specifications grading responds to the call for grading reform in education (Brookhart, 2011) and buildson

undergraduateengineering curricula. Communication, especially in the context of working with teams and othersoutside of business organizations, was lacking in new engineers, and they emphasized teamworkskills from capstone design projects to hold the most value. Survey results also found that criticalthinking, seen in design skills for parts, processes, and systems were of utmost importance forsuccess in the workplace.Through a survey of Atlanta area construction engineers and managers, the highest emphasis wasplaced on competencies of “communication, ethics, professionalism, commitment to lifelonglearning, and multi-disciplinary team collaboration.” In comparing these industry preferences withundergraduate engineering programs, the study concluded that

be valuable activities for discovering career paths, acquiring full time jobs, and gaining orimproving professional career skills [23]. Internships may also positively affect outcomes withinother HIP, such as capstone projects [24]. Internships have been reported to improve theautonomy and technology, methodology, and project management skills of computer sciencestudents [24]. In engineering, underrepresented students reported that internships supported theirprofessional career goals by providing opportunities for them to apply theory to practice inauthentic industry environments [25]. In engineering and computer science programs, it is important for students to envision the linkbetween theoretical course work and real-world practice. Senior

Students also have a number of substantialdesign project challenge experiences over the course of the semester. The senior cohort ofstudents is in an optional senior elective that augments their engineering design experiences(foundational product development through capstone design) with introduction of a human-centered design approach to get at latent and expressed needs for problems where people are atthe center of the problem and solution space. Similarly a problem-based learning approach istaken and students have many in-class hands-on activities to support different aspects of humancentered design (like

distance education is nothing new, the pandemic of COVID-19 forcedinstructors to rapidly move their courses online whether or not they had ever received priortraining in online education. In particular, there is very little literature to guide instructors insupporting students in online engineering design or project-based courses. The purpose ofthis research is to examine engineering students’ report of social support in their project anddesign-based courses at a large research university during the move to online instruction due toCOVID-19 in the Spring 2020 semester and to provide recommendations for instructors teachingthese types of courses online in the future. Our study is framed by social constructivismand social capital theory. We surveyed

courses'competitive nature.Engagement is one of the main factors that can be used to predict academic success. An engagedstudent is more likely to have short-term goals such as an intention to participate in an internshipprogram or long-term goals such as intentions to pursue graduate studies or move into the technicalworkforce. Tutoring sessions, field trips, and research projects have been introduced to theundergraduate engineering student's curriculum ostensibly to increase engagement. Peerdiscussions in undergraduate courses have helped develop the personal and social skills to thrivein an engineering major. Peer discussions seem to enhance student learning compared with coursesthat do not allow peer discussions [2]. Capstone projects serve as a great

the impact of cooperative learning during the Spring2020 semester by studying team retrospectives written by students enrolled in a system analysisand design course.The pedagogical foundation for the system analysis and design course was cooperative learning.The course required students to work in teams to develop a software prototype. The project wasdivided into four milestones and each team was required to submit a team retrospective detailingoverall planning, task allocation, group processes, and strategies for improvement. The first twomilestones were completed during face-to-face instruction, while teams met online for the lasttwo milestones due to the shift to online instruction. To investigate team effectiveness, a rubricbased on the

other individuals. For example, engineering work producessignificant and long-lasting impacts on society, and engineers are responsible for understandingthe potential societal implications of their solutions [1]–[4]. As another example, engineers maywork closely with communities and stakeholders as part of their problem definition and solutiondevelopment processes [1], [4]–[6]. Furthermore, communication and collaboration are coreaspects of professional engineering practice. To achieve optimal engineering outcomes,engineers must be able to work effectively with diverse teammates and co-workers [1], [7]–[9].Engineering students engage with the social aspects of engineering work in several contexts,including internships and project-based design

She spent the next four years in developing navigation technologies for underwater robotics that were used to understand environmental issues in the coastal regions of Singapore. She was always interested in the education aspect of engineering that led her to take up a position as a lecturer in Singapore Polytechnic. Rubaina spent the next five years developing interdisciplinary engineer- ing courses, designing activities to promote engagement and motivation in the classroom and supervise students in their final year projects mainly in robotics. This led to her thinking about issues related to engineering education and pursuing a degree in education
