, hiring committees and faculty mentors follow this implicit model of astraightforward academic pathway to the detriment of a diverse professoriate. We address thisby presenting an alternate model that better reflects alternate pathways that currently exist andcould be better encouraged and supported through infrastructure and social means.A Traditional Model of a Faculty CareerA traditional engineering faculty career moves from high school, to a bachelors degree, to a PhDprogram and then into a tenure track position, followed by promotions to associate and fullprofessor and then eventually a happy retirement, perhaps with an emeritus position to maintainan active mind until death. This is shown in Figure 2. In attempting to follow the

Evaluation data were collected regarding student knowledge gains and attitudes. Both theoverall gain in technical knowledge and positive attitudes toward the field of biogeotechnicalengineering were reflected in participant responses. With the advent and development of thisnew field, this work represents a pioneering effort in the biogeotechnical engineering educationspace. Looking ahead, the study could contribute toward longitudinal research in understandingthe best practices of interdisciplinary approaches to developing engineering instruction.IntroductionThis study is situated in the context of an interdisciplinary

As shown through the discussion of engineering identity this reflectionis typically left to chance at best or, at worst, actively discouraged through the viewpoint thatleadership is a “soft” skill not worthy of consideration in an engineering curriculum. Thequestion of incorporating effective reflective learning is central to the work underway.Moving engineering students from a positional to relational understanding of leadership has twobenefits: first, they should have a more stable sense

Students use wax or parchment paper as a work surface (seeFigure 3). A piece of fabric, slightly larger than the finger or gripper, is placed on the worksurface and covered in Ecoflex. The silicone mixture should saturate the fabric (you can help itby spreading forcefully with a plastic knife) and evenly cover the area where the top half of therobot will sit. The top layer of liquid Ecoflex should be deep enough that there is good surfacecontact with the top of the gripper or finger—looking at an angle, the surface should be smoothand reflective, not pocked by

progressing at an accelerated pace in recent years. Most people perceiveAI as creating human-like robots or humanoids, it is more than that. AI is to use neural networktheories to simulate the human thinking processes by computers; to inject the human’s ability toscreening data, provide sound reasoning, to make self-reflection, and self-correction decisions tothe computers. According to TechTarget, artificial intelligence can be broken down into twomain categories: Weak AI (or called Machine Learning category), which is a machine’s ability tobe trained to perform specific tasks. Strong AI (or Deep Learning category) is the machine’sability when equipped with enough cognitive skills, to find solutions to problems on their own.Particular applications

This increasingly accurate reflection of graduate experiences providesnovel insight into the experiences of students that have been traditionally ignored or unjustifiablylumped in with other students who share the title of graduate student.The initial findings of our qualitative analysis indicate that student perceptions of control and theability to utilize multiple resources to overcome barriers are fundamental to the successfuldevelopment of their identities and motivations.

The hardware requirement imposed severe constraints on another important coursegoal, online delivery. Ultimately we decided not to implement the hands-on component. Thathad the side benefit of allowing us to open the course to all majors, including engineeringmajors. The course discussion boards have

IntroductionAlthough there are many standardized questionnaires used to assess students’ self-regulatorybehavior and motivation to learn, the MSLQ is one of the more widely used in general educationresearch [1, 2, 3]. The MSLQ is a self-report instrument specifically designed to assess students'motivational orientations and their use of different learning strategies. . By focusing on the rolesof both motivation and cognition during learning, the MSLQ reflects the research on self-regulated learning, which emphasizes the interface between motivation and cognition [4, 5].Prior research using the MSLQ has found relationships between constructs on its motivationalsubscales such as: intrinsic goals, extrinsic goals, task value, control of learning beliefs, self
