Students are able to track their progress, design their ownacademic path to graduation, and develop their own enrichment activity plan that best fits theirspecific interest. The engineering portfolio also assists students to prepare their resume for jobinterviews and, when used as a tool for interviewing, the portfolio highlights tangibleexperiences outside what is normally found in transcripts and conventional resumes.Our approach focuses on capturing the entire breath of each student’s educational experience,while setting the foundation for students to build an open-ended self-guided career plan thatdraws from their skills, experiences, and achievements that comprise their engineering portfolio

To develop relationships with local schools (K-12) and aid them in fostering student interest in future careers and study in engineering and engineering technology II. To encourage engineering undergraduate students to continue their studies on the graduate level III. To increase the interest of engineering graduate students in

A series of newcourses that are to be offered as standardized courses at participating TexPREP institutionsthroughout the state are being developed by undergraduate engineering students.Nine undergraduate students majoring in mechanical and civil engineering and computer sciencewere hired to write the TexPREP course curriculum with the idea that students would be able todevelop course content that the participants could easily relate to. Following development of thecurriculum, undergraduate students actively participated in the implementation and reviewprocess. The primary

Autoethnographic techniques are used to construct three accounts ofthe student’s encounters with an upper level administrator, various members of faculty, and anacademic advisor. Critical analysis of these experiences using a prior evidence-based model ofstories ‘told’ about engineering in the public discourse reveals tensions between the freshmanstudent’s values and career interests and the emergent, dominant discourse he observed in hisundergraduate program. These tensions are described in terms of: i) The prioritization of nationaleconomic recovery and growth over the life and career goals of individuals; ii) A predominantfocus on the quantitative and technical aspects of

In the LSE program,iterative revision and recreation of an individualized curriculum and career plan are understoodas signs of success rather than failure or deviation. Students are encouraged to understand anddesign their major as a “whole-person technical degree” that does not require them to pass, toassimilate, to compartmentalize, or to conform to stereotypes. We suggest that this holisticflexibility may disrupt barriers such as impostor syndrome by positioning the student not asimpostor but as designer and creator – even when enrolled in technical courses in which thesex/gender ratio is skewed male.

Developing a community of practice can be an effectivemeans for helping new teachers learn to teach. “Communities of practice are groups of peoplewho share a concern, a set of problems, or a passion about a topic, and who deepen theirknowledge and expertise in the area by interacting on an ongoing basis” (p. 5).2 The biomedicalengineering fellows were interested in learning about and educating students with reform-basedinstructional practices. It is anticipated that fellows work together with faculty and mentorteachers as a community to develop a shared knowledge about the practice of teaching science inpreparation for future careers as tenured faculty members at the
