Groupsare then formed such that each group could offer a balance of the aforementioned skillsaccording to students’ self-assessment. The groups maintain their composition throughout thesemester.Prior to this course, based on the mechanical engineering curriculum, it is anticipated thatstudents have received writing instruction in an Academic Writing Course, and a Physics Lab. Inthe Academic Writing course, they are given a foundation on writing, reading, and thinkingprocesses that are anticipated at the university. The course emphasizes drafting, revision

It is veryimportant that this date be valid and consistent as organizations and businesses’ life depends onthis data. To ensure the integrity and consistency of data in a database, the database designers needto consider many rules called business rules or constraints. This is done mainly by action assertionstraditionally implemented in procedural logic buried deeply within user’s application program ina form that is virtually unrecognizable, unmanageable, and inconsistent. This approach places aheavy burden on the programmer, who must know all the constraints that an action may violateand must include checks for each of these constraints. An omission

In our mechanical engineering curriculum, bits of basic concepts of GD&T arebriefly mentioned or discussed in several different courses. It has been observed in the lastseveral years that some students in their senior capstone project designs still didn’t know how toproperly define assembly dimension tolerances or component dimension tolerances. In the lasttwo years, the authors used one and a half weeks out of a total of a fifteen-week semester toteach GD&T

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

“Simulation…hasbecome ubiquitous in engineering education.” More recently, Magana [4] presents research donewith a panel of 18 experts from academia and 19 from industry, on what modeling andsimulation (M&S) practices should be integrated into engineering education. There wassignificant consensus on the need for skills related to validation, acknowledging uncertainty inthe interpretation of simulation predictions, and developing intuition and being critical of results.Developing a healthy doubt of computer-generated results in students is an issue that others haveaddressed [5], [6].

Once a desired result is identified, in this case the goal is to developengineers who are able to use comprehensive systems thinking knowledge and skills to addresscomplex problems, the next step is to determine how the achievement of that goal will beassessed [8].

Researchers used Braun & Clarke’s thematic analysis to identify emergent themesrelated to engineering students’ mental health help-seeking beliefs. Six major themes wereidentified: 1) An unsupportive engineering training environment creates stress, 2) Difficult workand time constraints create stress, 3) Supportive input from others promotes help-seeking, 4) Iftime is limited, mental health is a lower priority, 5) Students operate on a suck it up mentalityunless they’ve reached a breaking point and 6) Help-seeking

However, there is limitedempirical evidence on the effectiveness of reflective practice in Data Structures courses, in whichcomputing students are honing problem-solving skills. To fill this gap, we evaluate theeffectiveness of assigning guided reflection prompts with programming assignments in anundergraduate Data Structures course in encouraging students to articulate their problem-solvingstrategies. 219 students completed two programming assignments and were asked to respond toreflection prompts after each. Students’ responses were (1) analyzed for word and sentence countas a measure of
