context of engineering design, this is a powerful combination. The mindsets andprocesses central to reflection align with those of design, namely, to identify problems, ideatesolutions, develop prototypes, test alternatives, and evaluate outcomes with a mind toward futureimprovements and opportunities. Just as design work is done by teams, reflection best happenswhen situated in community conversations where learning and the growth of all is valued [13].As students engage in community-centered reflection, they practice the skills necessary tobecome lifelong learners and engineers who can create impactful designs that serve society’sneeds [12], [14].In this work, we describe plans to extend our current pilot study [15] to include a set of

Along with this vision, the Kern EntrepreneurialEngineering Network (KEEN) calls engineering education for facilitating engineering students tobecome entrepreneurial-minded individuals who create societal and global value. In response tothis call, in addition to teaching students the technical knowledge of engineering, theentrepreneurship education program at our university provides students with curricularentrepreneurship education programs where students gain entrepreneurial knowledge and skills,and resources to pursue an entrepreneurial career path. We aim to not only support engineeringstudents with the resources to start their startup companies but also instill entrepreneurialmindset and self-efficacy into

Reflections on Student PerformanceAfter three years applying the L-CAS model on our pilot group, results are very encouraging.Students were retained and have persisted in their study programs at rates higher than peers inthe general CoE population. Progress in their respective study programs have been steady and ata rate that outpaces students in the general population. They have begun to show graduationrates that double that of the rest of the engineering students. Moreover, students haveaccumulated an outstanding number of high profile

With this in mind, the first-year engineeringprogram is set up to introduce the students to all the engineering majors offered at BinghamtonUniversity. Each semester our students take two linked courses, an introduction to engineeringcourse and an engineering communication course. One of the goals of these courses is to givestudents a better understanding of the engineering majors, so they can make a more informeddecision, when they declare their major.This paper presents the culmination of a five-year investigation into the students’ declarations. Itbegan in the 2016/2017 academic year with an anonymous survey at the start of the fall semesterwith two, multiple

This can become more of achallenge for regional campuses in which affordability is a driving part of the value propositionfor incoming students.

]. Although the order of thesepractices may vary, the EDP encompasses a series of critical steps aimed at addressing a specificproblem [36]. The process of engaging in engineering design is initiated by identification of a need orproblem [26] often expressed through concerns of customers or clients [27]. Following this step,engineers explore similar, previously solved, problems, while being mindful of constraints andlimitations. This research phase is critical because it allows engineers to acquire a deepunderstanding of how the problem being tackled relates to those previously resolved. Theprocess of re-design and re-testing provides engineers with useful insights about the physicalconstraints and limitations of the problem or product
