, “Seeingthe faculty frequently and being able to talk to them about more than just school or assignmentshas given me a better relationship with them than other students. I feel as though I'm a welcomedpart of the engineering program.” The student who answered “Unsure/other” when asked if thelunches allow them to feel more connected to their engineering program remarked, “I feel likeI’d still have the same relationships with the same people, but I would see those people less so Iam unsure of the result.” However, most scholars reflected the sentiment of one scholar whostated, “Since all of us have split up into our major based classes, we rarely see all of each othernow. The lunches allow all of us to reconnect, even if it is just one day a week

It alsoprovides students with an opportunity to reflect and synthesize the connections between bigideas, so it can be useful as a metacognition activity. Concept maps have been used successfullyto help students recognize connections between topics in complex courses [5]. Fostering theability to make these types of connections is a key component in the Entrepreneurial Mindset.The motivation for this work is to study how student perceptions of EM change over the courseof a design project using concept maps as an assessment tool.BackgroundEntrepreneurial MindsetThe Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN) is a leader in defining and

In addition, the university was accorded renewal of Bronzestatus under the ASEE ADRP.

The diverse nature of UREs leads to arange of skill development and interest among participants, adding complexity to the landscape ofundergraduate research experiences. Thus, the type of UREs could develop a varying degree of skills andinterests.Theoretical Framework In the development of this research, we have applied the theoretical framework of engineeringstudent identity [17] to develop our interview protocol for a large project. In this framework, there arethree key constructs that contribute to one’s identity as an engineering student. The first is engineeringstudent interest, which reflects curiosity and

that engineers need to develop verbal andwritten communication skills to share their ideas with others. Engaging engineering students inwriting activities is an effective mechanism to help them reflect and develop critical thinking skills.Scholars have argued that engineering students are reluctant and demotivated to engage in coursesfocused on academic or technical writing. Studies have confirmed that training engineeringstudents in writing will help them to share disciplinary knowledge with the community. Sincewriting is an essential communication skill that needs to be mastered early on in the program,therefore, engineering institutions need to create courses that focus on writing. In this paper, weintend to focus on a first-year

therepresentation of female students (28.3%) when compared to Electrical Engineering(14.4%) [14]. Further, in our experience, extra-curricular opportunities to engage with HEprojects, for example through student clubs, are often rooted in the civil and mechanicalengineering disciplines. For example, many Engineers without Borders student chapter projectsfocus on water access and building construction. While electrical engineering students mayparticipate in these experiences, not seeing their discipline reflected in the projects may limit theappeal. In short, there is at least the perception that electrical engineering students do not engagewith HE themes as often in their coursework or in extra-curricular ways as their peers in otherengineering disciplines

First, the scope of engineering ethics has grown and diversifiedowing to evolving accreditation criteria and reflections from the engineering educationcommunity. Second, teaching practices for engineering ethics also expanded and divergedaccordingly to answer the increased and changing needs in engineering ethics education. Third,even when a promising ethics teaching practice is identified, there is a great variation in facultyviews about its effectiveness, further compounded by the methodological challenges
