graduation age is comparable to that of other STEM fields, it is in stark contrastto average graduation ages in fields such as education (38.3) and humanities (34.2), where it ismore common for students to return for a degree after working in the field for several years [8].Though there is limited research on returners at the doctoral level in engineering, research onreturners generally in a number of fields suggests returning students may have distinct strengthsand challenges. In addition to the rich applied work experiences they can bring to their doctoralwork [3], returners may be more mature, goal-oriented, and motivated, and possess strongteamwork skills and a high work ethic [9] - [11]. However, returners can also face challengestransitioning

, causeslearners to appreciate the contribution of engineering in our culture, assists learners inrecognizing the ethical and moral values that engineers need to demonstrate, and aids in theteaching and learning of engineering instruction. However, NOE teaching is not an easy task,and a lack of NOE understanding also raises many issues and obstacles for science teachers toincorporate NOE in science instruction. Science teachers need training to fulfill the requirementsdescribed in the NGSS and to inform teachers about NOE aspects. To meet this goal, weprovided a professional development that focuses on NOE and the engineering design processduring summer 2017 in a southwestern research institute.

We framed eachquestion so as to obscure its origin while potentially allowing the student to draw out and discussa decision error of systems engineering. Why not simply give students descriptions of the failuresand the findings we discussed and have the students evaluate them? First, we wanted to eliminatebias due to students being familiar with a particular failure. For example, the Space ShuttleChallenger accident is a frequent topic in engineering ethics lectures. A learned, in-context,response from a previous exposure would not give us an indication of their abilities in systemsengineering. Second, the point of framing a question around a

coursework,Rebecca sought to achieve the best performance in relation to others.However, in Rebecca’s view, being the “best” reflected a conscientious and unrelenting work ethic ratherthan an innate intellectual talent. Indeed, she expressed disdain when people attributed her success oraccomplishments to raw intelligence: I feel like smarts don’t really have anything to do with it. It’s just your time management, your willingness to work hard, your willingness to get your stuff done, not be lazy or give excuses. . . You know if you’re any student, I feel like those are expected of you. It’s a major, and so your job is to do your job.Thus, Rebecca’s overall expectations for herself were highly informed by comparison to the

undergoingevaluation. As mentioned above, here national studies such as the NAE Grand Challenges aremore likely to serve as inspiration for local action.There is also a considerable extent to which institutions model what they do based on initiativesthat are already taking place at “peer and aspirant institutions.” Many universities in fact engagein the routine practice of assembling study teams when launching a new initiative, and theseteams are almost always welcomed at the colleges and universities that have alreadyimplemented successful programs. Academic traditions of openness appear to contribute to ageneral ethic of sharing. In addition, accreditation visits themselves serve as an importantmechanism for faculty to see what peer institutions are doing

Instead, the question was rewritten to reflect planetary protection policies.The rhetoric surrounding planetary protection policies is presently a popular topic of discussionpertaining to current and future space exploration. What makes this issue so controversial andtimely is the ethical debate around the importance of planetary protection policies. These policiesare extremely crucial and timely for deep space travel to distant celestial bodies including theMoon, Mars, and asteroids. Thus, gaining the perspective of the undergraduate participants’opinions on this topic is meaningful to depict future policy initiatives around planetaryprotection.At

According to ABET’s EC2000 standards, the new generation ofengineers is expected to possess deep technical knowledge in their field of study as well asprofessional skills, such as communicating effectively, working in teams, solving unstructuredproblems, and an awareness of ethical and contextual considerations in engineering (Lattuca,Terenzini, & Volkwein, 2006). The NAE believes engineers need to be flexible, resilient,creative, empathetic, and have the ability to recognize and seize opportunities (NAE, 2002;Sheppard, Pellegrino, & Olds, 2008) How can entrepreneurship education lead to these learning outcomes?

The journal score represents student engagement, attitude, initiative, time managementskills, study habits, and willingness to persevere. Since women students, in general, do better onthose attributes, the authors believed that the journal score did not influence their GPA as muchas men students.Insight 3: There may not be any gender difference in creativity skills
