hoursConclusions:This paper presents an effort attempting to prepare College of Engineering and Technology faculty for allthe uncertainties and changes they had to face as the result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The series ofdiscussions organized by faculty across different departments certainly have helped many facultymembers facing the enormous challenges in multiple facets. The ideas collected from these sessionsparticularly assisted in transitioning essential experiential learning to appropriate contexts in order tocomply with capacity limitations, PPE requirements, and social distancing. Experiential learning wasunderstandably one of the most impacted areas of teaching and learning given all of the constraints.The authors wish such a discussion at an ASEE

This initiative worked to cultivate aculture that prepared students for the “realistic world” of mechanical engineering with a focus on identity.Even though these investigation of mechanical engineering curricula have been wide ranging, and supportpedagogical advancements, they are focused on education. This limits the scope of investigation of the actualactivities a student could be expected to do upon completing their undergraduate program. A look into thepractice of engineering would provide a better understanding of what education is truly preparing studentsfor.The practice of engineering has
contributing to this lucrative profession [1],[3], [12]. There is limited research to indicate how CSE affects female students and theirdecision to major in engineering, and how CSE predicts the retention of women engineeringstudents in the major. This study sought to further investigate CSE of undergraduate womenengineering students, and how their beliefs about creativity and their lived experiencesinfluenced them to choose and succeed in engineering as a major. Industry Needs The need for architecture and engineering occupations is expected to increase 3% overthe ten-year span from 2019-2029, during which approximately 74,800 new jobs are projected tobe added, predominantly in engineering [13].

This effecthas been observed specifically within engineering (e.g., (Jones, Epler, Parastou, Bryant, & Paretti,2013; Jones et al., 2010; Matusovich, Streveler, Loshbaugh, Miller, & Olds, 2008; Matusovich,2008)), and so it seems important to examine the ways UVIs might be able to promote studentmotivation here.

Data from surveys conducted in senior design courses were analyzed toexamine students’ perceived confidence and importance of various design skills while cross-analyzing these perceptions with the courses they have found to be relevant in their preparationfor their design capstone course. Overall, this study is guided by the following research question:How do the perceptions of mechanical engineering students’ design skills evolve throughout thecourse of a senior design course sequence?Site and SampleThis research is currently being conducted at a large public Minority Serving Institution (MSI) inthe southeastern United States.

For electrical engineering (EE)degree attainment, the numbers are more dismal. In 2017-2018, 14.2% of all bachelor’s degrees;23.5% of master’s degrees; and 17.3% of doctoral degrees were awarded to women in electricalengineering [36]. Percentages for women faculty members in tenure positions parallelpercentages for degree recipients.
