Additionally, we aimed to ease the path for transfer students,especially transfer students from our state’s community colleges. However, the research on thepotential for improving graduation rates is mixed. For example, [4] in a study across 731universities found that when a university switches from quarters to semesters, first year gradesare lower, average time to graduation increases, and students are more likely to be enrolled inbelow a full course load.

A study was designed toanswer the following research questions: How many jurisdictions within the United States have licensure exemptions for engineers who perform tasks commonly considered engineering practice? Are there patterns in the number and type of exemptions found in licensure laws? Do civil engineering graduates practice in areas that are commonly exempt? What should undergraduate engineering students know about licensure exemptions?Research MethodsThe study used licensure exemption data from fifty states, four territories, and the District

The classassignments included short ‘design review’ shares where students described the progress madeon their projects during these teamwork times and discussions sessions. The dedicated teamworktimes in class provided allocated opportunities for students to work together as a team and toengage in joint enterprise, and the discussion sessions provided opportunities for students andinstructors to engage in mutual engagement.MethodsTo complete the aim of identifying best practices of how to engage students in experientiallearning and to form a community of practice in hybrid project-based courses, pre-and post-course surveys were completed with the students taking the Capstone course and semi
that there are two main definitions ofentrepreneurship education. “The narrow definition equates entrepreneurship education with aspecific course aimed at training young people to start their own business, while the widerdefinition equates entrepreneurship education with general skills that all students should learn,and which are construed as helpful for preparation for life in general.” (p. 554-555). Both highschool and university programs vary around these two general definitions. Some programs focuson specific skills and experiences designed to support a student as they set up a business. Otherprograms focus more on skills that could be used in either entrepreneurial or intrapreneurialcontexts, but with a strong focus on practices that

problem finding plays a key role in producing tangible outcomes. Problem finding tasks aremore interesting, engaging, as well as ill-structured, eliciting free associations of ideas [11].Rubenstein et al. found that students who planned to use more elaboration strategies tended toidentify more potential problems and the number of problem identification strategies significantlycorrelated with problem-solving fluency and problem-solving flexibility [12]. This finding haspractical implications for educators of mature students, as it suggests that they should incorporateexercises that promote problem finding skills into their teaching practices. Much recent research addresses the need to improve engineering education. For example, [13-15] discuss

To assess studentdevelopment of curiosity, a direct and an indirect assessment for curiosity were integrated intothe curriculum for a first-year engineering honors program at a large midwestern university. TheFive-Dimensional Curiosity Scale (5DC), a 25-item instrument developed by Kashdan andcolleagues, was implemented as the indirect assessment. The direct assessment for curiosity wasdeveloped by the research team and tasks students to brainstorm about a topic and then write 10distinct questions about that topic.
