. Therefore, this paper seeks to answer the following research question: Whateducational supports do engineering faculty at HSIs propose to embed in their curricula toincrease their students’ intrinsic motivation?To answer this question, thirty-six engineering educators from thirteen two- and four-year HSIsfrom across the continental United States were introduced to the SDT and approaches forsupporting students’ intrinsic motivation during a multi-institutional faculty developmentworkshop series. Participants were asked to reflect on and prototype learning experiences thatwould promote intrinsic motivation and fulfill students’ needs for competence, relatedness, andautonomy to learn engineering [1]. Data were collected through a series of reflection

Survey: Self-efficacy statements regarding three different aspects of thecourse - statistics, RStudio, and theory - were included in the survey. Since each methodinvolved RStudio and theory, it was crucial to look at each of those measures in thesurvey. Likewise, quality control is part of the statistics curriculum for industrial andsystems engineering so we found it important to include a few statements on statisticsself-efficacy as well.A. Statistics self-efficacy: The survey asked students to reflect on their comfort with statistics as well as their feelings about learning more statistics. Although quality control is a specific type of statistics, we were interested in how the course changes students’ perspectives on statistics in

From the pre-courseand post-course paired T-test, there was a significant increase in the GPI scores in theKnowledge, Social Interactions and Identity dimensions. This might mean that the GlobalEngineering course had an influence on students’ awareness of cultures on our global society andone’s own identity and engagement with a diverse group of people. The Knowledge dimensiononce again showed the largest growth, which may reflect the alignment of the learning objectivesof the Global Engineering Course with the knowledge dimension of the GPI scale.

there appears to be a small positive gaintowards graduation moving the line above average readiness. Additional connection wasobserved when RQ1b was explored. As Table 3 reflects, there appears to be a strong correlation(ρ = 0.913, p = 0.087) between the mean readiness response and the number of professionalexperiences a student has. A t-test was used to compare overall (mean) readiness of the students who had no professional experiences to the group of students who had one or more experiences(p = 0.236, t = 1.189, df = 280).RQ1c explored “Does the self-reported level of the practice readiness differ across variousprofessional experiences?

In theUnited States (U.S.) specifically, study abroad has become more popular due to the emphasisplaced on global citizenry by institutions and employers [2]. This demand has more than doubledstudents’ participation in study abroad programs over the past decades [3]. Educational theoristKolb [4] posits that people learn effectively by immersing themselves in environments thatenable them to observe and reflect on their behaviors. Students who participate in internationalprograms acquire knowledge, skills, and beliefs useful in working with people in cross-culturalsettings [5

. There is no substitute for that experience, so that is a loss plain and simple. However,we realized that the prototyping process in this course takes up about 1/3 of class time and onlygenerates two useful datapoints in testing: truss failure load and weight. Some would argue thisis a poor return on investment. Practically speaking, not being able to fabricate opened up a lot ofclass time.Upon a bit of reflection, the answer to what could fill this void was obvious. Undergraduateengineering design has by definition a strong theoretical and technical foundation, but design isfundamentally creative in that it starts with a problem (nothing) and generates a solution(something). In our experience, beginning engineering designers often resist the

Attracting more women into the field has notyet been achieved, and their participation is still judged as insufficient by several authors [1].This fact is reflected initially in the low number of women enrolled in careers in the engineeringarea. If we specifically analyze the construction sector, it is not effective to push more women toenter these careers since the percentage of women employed in construction is proportional toincome. The probability that they will finish the degree and serve the

Chile is one of the countries that has made significantprogress in reducing the gender gap. However, progress in training women in STEM disciplineshas been low compared to other Latin American countries.The Engineering Faculty of the Universidad Andres Bello has carried out the "Biobio Women inScience and Technology Meeting" for two consecutive years. The first was an in-person event,and the second in online mode.

At University A, most senior students (approximately 75% or more per year)in civil engineering take the FE review course and depend on it as their sole source ofpreparation for the exam.

Integrated ethics content canencourage students to practice “what is right to do and how will my decisions impact thesociotechnical and societal norms within society?” The process of seeking answers for thesequestions can help students to recognize the ethical and moral conflicts as a part of designproblems. In a complex design process, there are often conflicts, and these potential conflictsshould be considered simultaneously by design engineers [7].Researchers conceptualize the design process and propose moral reflections with distinctapproaches that are informed by empirical research in socio-technical contexts [6].
