notexplicitly reflected in the rubric’s criteria. Specifically within the chemical engineering literature,many key themes were already reflected in the rubric, with the exception of uncertainty. Fromthe electrical and mechanical engineering literature, themes such as industrial ecology,technological adaptability, e-waste, and user experience were missing from the rubric. Inaddition, design for “X” (DfX) approaches, such as design for disassembly, were commonlydiscussed in the electrical and mechanical literature.3 Affordability and Ethics Innovation Equity (Across Disciplines

Synthesize your knowledge of effective and ethical membership on a technical team (i.e., teaming skills) to refine your conduct as a member of the team. 6. Exhibit a work ethic appropriate for the engineering profession.B. ProceduresPre- and post-engineering enculturation surveys were developed to see how studentsexhibit characteristics of the engineering enculturation outcomes through the engineeringprogram on their way to becoming professional engineers. The students were surveyedwith open-ended questions and their responses were dissected for dominant viewpoints.First, the entire FYE foundation course of over 3,600 students was invited through anemail to

results stronglysuggest that the issue of having the FE Exam in the English language is not as critical asoriginally hypothesized. However, additional research, needs to be performed before reachingany solid conclusions; for example, are these results repeatable? Also, will the results hold inother areas of the FE Exam, for example, problems in ethics or engineering economics, in whichthe vocabulary may be more difficult to comprehend and problem statements are usually longerin length? Still, students committed orthographic errors in the translated text; however, these did notalter the meaning of the problem. The author was able to conclude that the students clearlyunderstood the problem and had identified the problem to be solved (find

selections based on a Likert scale of well, very well, exceptionally well, or not applicablebased on the degree to which he/she believed their mentor(s) performed various mentoringpractices.ResultsThe responses provided by the participants to the qualitative open-ended questions on the surveyrevealed several common emerging themes. For example, when asked to describe what factors wereused to select a mentor student participant responses were as follows: 1) professionalism of the mentor,2) previous advising experience with mentor, 3) person demonstrated consideration for the student ingiven situations, 4) person was eager to share information to assist with pursuing degree, 5) commonresearch interests with the mentor, and 6) work ethics of the mentor
