onengineering education.This paper draws from experiences of a multi-disciplinary team (including engineers, scientists,UX researchers, Industrial-Organization (I-O) psychologists, economists, and program andproduct managers) studying talent management in the tech industry, to present lessons learnedfrom leading with science to understand, inform, and improve employee experiences at a largeprivate technology company. Our paper exemplifies how projects in industry leverage multi-disciplinary expertise and presents recommendations for new graduates and engineeringprofessionals. Ultimately, this paper affords an opportunity for educators to expand on examplesof how multiple disciplines come together to study engineers in the workforce.IntroductionThe

This study presents recent efforts of the author and his fellow faculty inemploying ancient machines in the engineering and other curricula. A variety of means wereemployed including an honors thesis, an extra credit project in an engineering course as well asan internal project that replaced the internship requirement for a Robert Morris University(RMU) student: i) A double-degree mechanical and manufacturing engineering student studiedthe innerworkings of the Antikythera mechanism to replicate its operation in a powered LEGOsystem for her

in Student CodeAbstract: The “Rich, Immediate Critique of Antipatterns in Student Code” (RICA) project aimsto provide rich, relevant, and immediate feedback to students learning to program in their first yearof engineering education. This feedback is indispensable in effective student learning, particularlyin introductory computing courses. Conventional classroom feedback mechanisms fall short here,partly because large-scale courses like those in First-Year Engineering (FYE) often strain the in-structional team’s capacity to deliver timely feedback. Our project aims to address this challengeby developing Code Critiquers specifically tailored for First-Year Engineering (FYE).1 The RICA ProjectOur ongoing RICA project is developing a real

While more careers requiring graduatedegrees in industry and academia are becoming available, graduate program enrollment is notmatching this growth. Student enrollment in engineering graduate school has remained stagnant,even as enrollment in undergraduate engineering degrees has increased [2].
