We also found that among enrolled students, a large number of engineeringstudents (almost 20%) have not declared a major some until later in their studies.1. IntroductionScience, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) professionals are needed morethan ever; based on economic projections the nation may suffer from a workforce deficit inthese majors if college graduation rates remain the same (Olson & Riordan, 2012). Highereducation, at the same time, and STEM fields, in particular, are aware of this issue andcontinue to identify ways to increase the number of STEM degrees graduates

The tunnel-hull design project plays a role inaddressing the challenge these situations posed by introducing pre-major students to a vehicle-design process that includes calculations of fundamental vehicle forces.The tunnel-hull design project grew out of an earlier design project developed for high-schooland first-year engineering technology students who developed Ekranoplan or wing-in-ground–effect vehicles powered primarily with rubber bands.1 For the Ekranoplan project, the

Implementation in a Bioengineering Honors ProgramReflection is a process in which one examines current or past experiences, and then uses thisinformation to make decisions about future actions. In engineering courses, reflection is usedprimarily to promote cognitive development.1-3 For example, immediately after an exam,students articulate what helped them do well on the exam and what they could do differently toimprove their performance on a future exam. In addition to improving academic performance,reflection is associated with student gains in social skills, civic engagement, and attitudes towardself and learning.This work-in-progress describes the novel implementation of reflection to enhance studentengagement in the Bioengineering Honors Program at

Each response was then coded so that“strongly disagree” equaled “1” up to “strongly agree” having a value of “6”. Participantsresponded to these items both during the first week of the program (Time Point 1, TP1) and alsoat the end of the program (Time Point 2, TP2).We initially developed 12 items to assess participants’ perceived

Over the years, universities have adopted the capstone Senior Design project inorder to provide students the opportunity to put their engineering skills to the test in real-worldprojects. However, educators agree that obtaining competency in engineering design requireshours of hands-on practice beyond the time and scope of a university course. As a result, we arepilot testing a series of supplementary active-learning
