Paper ID #19066Measuring Students’ Subjective Task Values Related to the Post-UndergraduateCareer SearchDr. Samantha Ruth Brunhaver, Arizona State University Samantha Brunhaver is an Assistant Professor of Engineering in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University. Dr. Brunhaver joined Arizona State after completing her M.S. and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University. She also has a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Northeastern University. Dr. Brunhaver’s research examines the career decision-making and professional identity formation of engineering students, alumni, and
effectivedesign of engineering projects [49, 50].In this current iteration, five of the design teams had unrelated design projects, while theremaining four teams performed projects that were a subset of their larger research project. Thischoice was at the discretion of each team’s project advisor. The teams are formed from 37senior-level engineering students. Most teams have a majority of mechanical engineeringstudents with a minority of systems engineering or electrical engineering students. In this work,we sought to discover if varying the depth of instruction in the design process steps would havean effect on the students’ execution of the designette project, as well as their execution of theirlonger-term, real world project. It is with this in mind

workshops thathighlight exemplary academic planning within our institution. Another external factor, marketforces, pointed to the need for interdisciplinary, “well-rounded,” and “T-shaped” students.17, 18 In addition to these external factors, internal factors also played a significant role in thedesign of the minor. For example, pre-existing faculty relationships influenced which classes weselected as core classes and student characteristics influenced logistical decisions related to theminor (e.g., prerequisites, capstone requirements, marketing strategies).Interdisciplinarity and General Education While the Innovation Pathways Minor is housed in the College of Engineering, it isimportant to keep in mind that it is a general

During GLP, a design-based wilderness education class addressesthe development of design thinking, engineering science, and leadership skills; it consistsof project-based classroom and shop activities on campus, followed by a multidaywilderness expedition. After the 2015 class, students tended to place increasedimportance on tasks related to immediate action such as building. At the same time,decreased importance was placed on exploratory tasks such as understanding the problemand iterating. The 2016 curriculum was modified with these findings in mind, increasingthe time spent discussing exploratory aspects of the design process and increasing thenumber of

perceived divisions between STEM andthe liberal arts by linking those perspectives and assignments to broader habits of mind that arenecessary for engineers and designers. We then describe our strategies for integrating a richdesign experience into the course and consider how that integration alters typical approaches todesign projects. Finally, we discuss our plan to implement assessments that account for bothstudents’ technical abilities and their application of course theories and concepts.Course development was supported at the Institution by a summer course development grant thatencouraged faculty to partner across disciplines to create unique course offerings.

senior year, encountered mostly non-open-ended problems, with predominantly pre-defined, closed-form solution sets. Even more challenging for the industrial engineering population is thatthey tend to crave order, processes, lists, and procedures, either by self-selection into the major or throughinculcation. Once they arrive at capstone, they are commissioned to solve problems that don’t have anexplicit algorithm, list, or established process to solve them.Due to the real-world nature of senior capstone, in effect the students receive a blank sheet of paper,hearing “go figure out what the problem is –and solve it”. In addition to this, there are some sponsorswho may not respond very quickly, or change their minds, or receive the initial data and

11 | P a g e 12 Conclusion & Significance of Study One of the persistent instructional challenges teachers working with ELLs face is theirmeaningful integration into learning activities [31]. This study explored the extent to which acombination of activities developed with the learning and developmental needs of earlyelementary ELLs in mind. We integrated routines for academic conversations into hands-onliteracy and engineering-centered inquiry activities. The analysis revealed significant results withlow to moderate effect sizes. These results provide preliminary evidence of the impact of
, paving the way for the design of effective scaffolds and resources forhelping teachers overcome challenges that they might face, while facilitating students’productive engagement with engineering design and science concepts. This study focusesspecifically on the intersections of technological, pedagogical and content knowledge to facilitatea deeper understanding of how these interact in the context of the engineering design process.Based on Mishra and Koehler’s (2006) definition of these intersections and keeping the researchcontext in mind, in this paper, Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) is the knowledge ofpedagogy that is applicable to the teaching of specific content related to efficient energygeneration and use.
