measurement of engineering identity was accomplished using an adapted version of Godwinet al.’s (2016) measure of identity. Godwin et al. concludes that an engineering student’sengineering identity is a function of four attitudes relating to interest, performance, recognitionand agency. Interest is the student’s innate attraction to the subject material surroundingengineering, such as math, science and physics. Performance is an academic self-efficacyconstruct measuring how much a student believes in their ability to positively perform inacademically in engineering coursework. Recognition is how a student believes they arerecognized as an engineer, particularly by meaningful others such as parents or professors.Finally, agency or as Godwin et al

Although males are still the majority in this field, biomedical engineering is one of themore popular engineering fields among women.15 The final major change to our program fornext year is our goal to interview participants about their experiences. We will utilize this as away for students to reflect on their experiences as well as a way for us to receive more rich dataabout the short-term impacts of our program.Resources[1] F.

Both learning style and formativeassessment strategy significantly affected student achievement, though, consistent with Pashler etal.’s conclusion, the interaction between these factors was not significant. Additionally, as thisstudy was performed with a web-based middle-school biology course, a gap remains with regardto undergraduate engineering education.As the primary motivation for this study is increasing the diversity of the engineering graduatesthat colleges and universities prepare for the workforce, some evidence demonstrates thatvarying teaching approaches to favor a multitude of learning styles may aid in achieving thatparticular end.

These results may also be indicative of the relationshipfor traditional capstone design experiences. Additional research is necessary to see if theseeffects hold true in that context. The implications for the study are that additional information inprogram applications must be included to effectively predict a student’s performance.References 1. S. Singer and K. A.

organizations often tend to amplify the moral and political values that are lacking and need to be further enhanced in developing contexts. They view technologies as instruments for well-being rather than profits.As engineering educators who are interested in preparing future engineers for the increasinglyglobalized future, we need to be careful about what kind(s) of “global engineers” we are training.Emphasizing one or two approaches to engineering ethics over others represents an incompleteapproach that fails to project an appropriately comprehensive view of global engineering practice.Obviously, we are not training every student to become a professional engineer working in amultinational business company, nor do we expect that

Then, as now, “technological literacy” is the most widely recognized way of describing theproject(s) in which this division is engaged. In my 2006 paper, I argued that we needed torename the enterprise, mainly because “literacy” implied remediation rather than the aspirationto create something that had never existed before: a well-informed citizenry with the knowledge,motivation, and confidence to engage in purposeful deliberation about technology. Looking back from a distance of over 10 years, I am pleased to say that

Instep 3 (Decide what should be modeled and why), students imagined the model(s) they would create tomatch their physical system. This process didn’t simply ask students to rely upon knowledge they alreadytheoretically had. Rather, it forced them to research in order to learn how they might model the systemthey were analyzing. This research might take them back to foundational knowledge they had alreadybeen exposed to or to new knowledge; although at the beginning the modeling efforts tended to mainlyemphasize the former. The point is that there had to be early imagining of the ultimate model(s
