persistence toward graduating with an engineering degree.Student attitudes and beliefs are known to be important. For example, student beliefs aboutengineering career security and salary are predictors for persistence [3]. Student career aspirationhas also been observed as an indicator of persistence [2]. Other studies have highlighted theimportance of guidance and clarification of the role of engineers through advising, as manystudents may have incorrect assumptions about the culture of engineering [4]. One studyidentified six broad factors that drive attrition from engineering: classroom and academicclimate, grades and conceptual understanding, self-efficacy and self-confidence, high schoolpreparation, interest and career goals, and race and gender

andsubmitting research proposals to different funding agencies or entities. Once you have decidedon the kind of research you will pursue, recruiting students is the next critical step.Experienced researchers know that the students who perform best in class are not necessarily thesame ones who will excel at research. Initiative counts for more in research, as does the abilityto address problems that are not well formed. At the beginning of their career, graduate studentsare knowledge consumers, with a need to learn what is the state of the art in their discipline.Later they become knowledge generators, contributing results to their research group and thecommunity at large. Successful graduate students walk a healthy balance between working withtheir

Learners consistently identified innovative activities like debates and livedemonstrations as the most impactful for student learning. They identified hands-on activitiesand field visits as the most engaging and memorable. At the end of each course, instructors self-identified as gaining knowledge of research-based educational methods, greater ease in teachingand managing a classroom, and confidence in assessing student learning. The innovativeteaching approach to pre-college education has encouraged new cohorts of high school studentsto pursue engineering as a career and current graduate students to pursue engineering educationas a

Autoethnographic StudyIntroductionAn academic career may involve a semester or even years away from the classroom as onepursues research or enters administration. Unlike a sabbatical, where you may engage studentswhile expanding relationships in industry or another university, returning to the classroom after awhile in an administrator role has challenges and opportunities. This paper describes some of myexperience as a veteran administrator who recently returned to the classroom after nearly adecade away and shares lessons learned that I hope new educators find valuable.My early academic career was focused almost entirely on teaching and advising. For more than adecade, each year, I taught over a thousand students. In addition, I supervised nearly a

The concept of Sustainable Manufacturingencourages the manufacturing of products using processes that minimize the overall negativeimpact through the conservation of energy and resources. One of the challenges in SustainableManufacturing is that many currently available processes are not economically sound comparedto other traditional processes. However, this dynamic is changing very rapidly. The othersignificant challenge is the shortage of skilled workers in this area. This pressing need hashighlighted the clear Skills Gap in the workforce. This paper reviews Sustainable Engineeringoutlining the career options and learning objectives that need to be addressed

itself — a key macro-objective of the course. Indications of this appear in suchcomments as: I really enjoyed it! Definitely an engineering discipline for me to think about possibly exploring! I didn't think I would be good at geotech but I'm glad I took the class because I love it and can see myself doing geotech as part of my career. I know so much about soil now! I go around thinking about all the soils I step on, what type they are, how saturated they are, how strong they are, and how they would drain or consolidate. Especially at the barn because it’s so muddy, I’m trying to think of ways to drain it better. Maybe installing wick drains would help

Additionally, for instructors, this educational format can provide benefits such asenhancing their career portfolio or resume, expanding their professional community, andexchanging teaching practices and feedback [9]. In this line, it is clear that a definition of theinstructor's profile is required since the courses with the COIL strategy are relatively new.Moreover, no formal faculty training programs include founding techniques to design courseswith faculty of different universities, developing evaluation techniques for acquiringknowledge, and the correct

PjBL is an instructional method that aids students in deeper learning anddevelopment of non-cognitive skills that are necessary for their future career [4]. The main issuewith these two instructional methods is that it can present significant challenges for students thatare under-prepared or are not provided adequate resources (e.g., instructor office hours or tutors)[5,6]. A variety of PBL and PjBL methods utilize programming software such as MATLAB toallow students to simulate their model and various conditions.At the Virginia Military Institute

If a student is able to master all the fundamental skills, they will have a C- and they willpass the class as shown in Table 2. While students who only pass the fundamental skills may notget as much practice with the essential and advanced skills, they will still be exposed to theseskills on instruction days and through homework and laboratory exercises. By achieving masteryon the fundamental skills, students should have a full understanding of these topics which theycan apply to future engineering courses. This is where mastery based learning and traditionalgrading differ—mastery-based learning prioritizes

oral communication skills tothe humanities courses or faculty is not beneficial for a future career in engineering (Newell etal., 1997; Kmiec, 2004). It may be for this reason that Vanderbilt’s Chemical EngineeringDepartment dedicated a technical communication co-instructor to their junior and senior level labcourses (Sharp, 2003). The technical communication element of Vanderbilt’s chemicalengineering senior course was presented by Sharp (2003). She counts alumni guest lectures as avaluable addition to this lab course. The alumni talked about the communication needs of theirjobs during the dedicated technical communication lectures. The other positive experience thatshe cites is the peer feedback on student teams’ presentations. After each
