. The mentor retreat includes several teambuilding activities and providessocial time for the group to get to know each other. The workshop portion of the retreat is meantto inspire students to be good role models and to reflect on what it means to be a mentor. A fewPMLs conduct activities and give presentations on topics such as making the most of LinkedIn,preparing for internship interviews, leading K-12 outreach activities, and doing what’s rightinstead of what’s easy. Having student leaders present these activities not only builds their ownskill sets, but also inspires newer mentors of the organization to become more involved. SPMalumni who recently graduated have also come back to share their experiences with the programand how it helped

Currently two surveys regarding the opinions and attitude changes of students have beenadministered, where a self-reflection on given questions was answered. The provided questions were splitinto two categories: a technical skills section and a soft skills section. The technical skills sectionconsisted of five questions asking the students’ opinions regarding their own proficiency in soldering,multimeter and power/hand tool usage, circuit diagnosis and device repair. The other category

To combat this effect, California, for example, has enactedAssembly Bill no. 1826 in 2014 [9]. This bill requires organizations to establish wastemanagement facilities; this also reflects onto universities and colleges. The inclusion ofuniversities in this bill is following the landmark 2001 decision of EPA to hold higher educationinstitutions responsible for their environmental impact on an equal footing with othercommercial and governmental institutions [10], [11].

“Project Budgeting” has been retitled “Project Cost and Value” and revised to reflect that: 1) in the end, project sponsors care far more about how much the project cost than its original budget; and 2) the most important monetary consideration for project managers is delivering owner/sponsor-defined value. Effective project managers have thoughtful, probing discussions with project sponsors of project value. Every project has deliverables, which might, for example, include a facility, a product prototype, or functioning software. The goal, however, is to produce project outcomes; e.g., a hospital that provides regional care for children, a refrigerator that is x% more efficient, or an enterprise management system that supports

Jobperformance records suggest that engineers who struggled with supervision tended to move intoproject management rather than senior leadership roles. While Roberts and Biddle’s studyincludes valuable insights about engineers’ long-term career paths, they conducted it in aparticular era at a single organization and thus their findings may not reflect the experiences ofthe engineering profession as a whole.More recently, Tremblay and his colleagues surveyed 900 engineers in Quebec, Canada andfound that their career paths were multiple and divergent, not homogenous or linear as might beexpected by a dual (technical/managerial) career

Formalizing a process for feedback and revision [24] during a project makeslearning meaningful since it emphasizes that creating high-quality products [23] and performancesis an important purpose of the endeavor.

The team felt it was important to encourage DLCs to explore different types ofteaching practices. The team used three core ideas defined by the CIRTL community to guidethe development of the learning objectives, which will encourage facilitators to work with theirparticipants to identify different types of teaching practices. The core ideas that drive CIRTLprogramming are the following.  Learning-through-diversity  Learning communities  Teaching-as-researchThe six learning objectives reflect not only a commitment to teaching research-based practices,but modeling them.

Today, nearly every consumer electronics device contains a microcontroller, meaning that every product is a mix of analog circuitry, digital circuitry, and software. Our labs reflect this by incorporating a microcontroller and software into three out of the four major projects. • Focus on real applications. Real applications provide the essential motivation for students to keep learning the material, and this cannot be deferred until years later in the program. As the following sections will show, we aim to incorporate real applications not just in the labs but also in lectures, homework, and exams

At present, the body of actionable research on student motivation in engineering writingcourses is limited. In absence of such research, teaching designs are likely to be based oncommon assumptions about our students, some of which no longer reflect today’s engineeringstudents and most of which approximate diverse classrooms to a single homogenousmotivational profile.

But we found the distance Rebecca sought to achieve from beingcategorized as an engineer reflected more of a desire for her individual agency rather than any disdain forengineering. This desire for agency was particularly heightened in light of her participation in engineeringas a woman. She described how others’ perception of her, in particular as a woman in engineering,invaded her individual sense of control of her choice to exist as an engineering major: I’m a girl so I think a lot of people [will say], “Good for you.” Sometimes it makes me feel

Uneven population sizes from the resulting separation is due in part to themany students who had a neighborhood socioeconomic that was the same value as the quartilemedians. This challenge in data analysis alone emphasizes the need for study of low-socioeconomic students and their relatively few pathways into engineering. Students who attendcollege in engineering majors are surprisingly homogeneous in their neighborhood socioeconomicstatus.
