The quality of student presentations was high, utilizing the assertion-evidencemethod of slide design.Data was collected to determine whether the following project objectives were met: 1) Studentsin the First Year Seminars will have a greater understanding of the possible careers inengineering as well as the engineering majors; and 2) Students will be more likely to defineengineering in terms associated with health, happiness, and safety. The data showed that thestudents had a very positive reaction to the Engineering Ambassador visits, although a largersample size would be necessary to more clearly understand the impact.Introduction and

All of thesehave the potential to lead to a productive discussion-based seminar and to the long-term successof collaborative student project teams, although challenges need to be addressed as they arise.IntroductionFacilitating professional development and mentoring for STEM students can be a challenge forprograms but is important for students’ ultimate success and satisfaction with their careers.

background established, let’s quickly outline how engineering might be described interms of Kagan’s nine dimensions. We have already dealt with the first dimension, that ofprimary interest.The second dimension has to do with sources of evidence. Here we realize that engineers oftenperform projects that run for months or years, and that different questions are asked at differentstages of a project. Generally, the first step of a project requires engineers to understand theintentions of the humans who will be affected by the project. Evidence of the sort normallysought by social scientists and humanists plays important roles in this early stage. The evidencehere may be heavily contextualized as well. Then, as engineers move into the middle phases

According to the analyses conducted by The American Society of MechanicalEngineers1, it is common for engineers to participate in or lead project management teams, whichrequire working knowledge of procurement, financial analysis, sales and marketing, and othernon-technical areas. As a result, updating the program educational objectives and the courseoutcomes is essential for every engineering program.Engineering programs utilize assessment methods that include both direct and indirect measures.Many articles
