throughout the United States. All CIS undergraduates are required to take 120 credit hours of course which includes 58 credit hours in the CIS department. Most CIS courses are offered as lecture classes with 4 contact hours each week. There are several classes which also require attendance in closed laboratory sessions. The emphasis in CECS is on small class sizes (30:1 student to faculty ratio) and offering hands on experiences through class assignments, course projects, internships, and a two semester (8 month) capstone design project course (4 credits total). The CIS capstone project experience involves students working as part of a four person team under the mentorship of a senior CIS professor to

Technical/non-technical balance separated the curriculum requirements into these two general pools.Engineering, math, computing, and natural science courses were considered technical; socialscience and humanities courses were considered non-technical. Further, the three engineeringmajors for cohorts 3 and 4 were participating in ABET assessment that included student ratingsof the extent to which they believed that

A number of established assessment instruments exist withconstructs related to motivation. The Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ),developed to measure learning strategies and academic motivation used by college students,identifies motivation constructs for extrinsic motivation, intrinsic motivation, self-efficacy, taskvalue, and control expectancy20The Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI), a multidimensional measurement to assess students’subjective experience in laboratory experiments, includes constructs for attainment, utility

I: how about an ideal engineering career, what does that look like for you? T: Right now, it would be more like research and development. So it would be basically in a lab and doing research in going on to the field and collecting samples and getting data….Then, the interviewer phrased the question a little differently, which seemed to access anotherimportant component: I: What else about that an ideal job, what else is there from the day to day or more broad understanding of the values of the job?

learning that also helps todevelop lateral and vertical thinking [27, 28, 29]. In addition, pedagogical research has shownthat this thinking should be integrated into a specific context [21]. Exploring different solutionsto project design creates lateral thinking, while choosing a solution develops vertical thinking.The project in Lima, which consisted of finding solutions for Asentamientos Humanos, wasdesigned with this learning technique. This engineering project also showed students from PennState the importance of being globally articulate and engaged. The students worked for abouttwo weeks on this project with 5 students from Universidad Nacional de Ingenieria in Peru in afabrication laboratory (FabLab) of another institution, Universidad
