Several studies have investigatedhow first year undergraduate engineering students in particular, approach design problemsolving, and their interpretation and knowledge of engineering design [4-7]. These studies usedvarious methods to evaluate students’ design thinking including pre- and post-tests associatedwith group design projects in a classroom setting [4], pre- and post-essay response critiques oftwo design plans [5], gender differences in students’ attempts to evaluate design factors [6], andshort essay

While retaining these key elements was important, the coordinators ofthe OTET workshop quickly discovered that the conduct of the ETW over the years was equallyvaluable, including the use of group seating, 4-person teams, mentors, a dedicated logisticscoordinator, a workshop content coordinator, and dedicated financial support.Development of the workshop involved identifying workshop coordinators, seminar presenters,and group mentors, with only one person who had attended ETW prior.

Nevertheless, literaturenot only shows that Saudi women are interested in engineering, but the fact that segregation isenforced in schools can be a reason why women may succeed more in engineering than in theUS or the UK [4], [36].

To accomplish this, an ill-structured problem is developed, which will later be used todetermine, based on analysis of oral and written responses of participants in semi-structuredinterviews, attributes of the gap between student, faculty, and professional approaches to ill-structured problem solving. Based on the results of this analysis, we will identify what pedagogicalapproaches may limit and help students’ abilities to develop fully-formed solutions to ill-structuredproblems.This project is currently ongoing.

learning.IntroductionIt has long been recognized that engineers need strong communication skills in addition to strongtechnical skills.1, 2 Engineers typically take a sequence of composition and rhetoric courses dur-ing the freshmen year. These courses are followed by other writing experiences more technical innature, including formal reports in laboratory courses and writing associated with the capstone de-sign experience. Many creative attempts have been made to improve writing frequency and qualityin academic programs. One example is the PITCH (Project to Integrate Technical Communica-tion Habits) initiative at the University of New Haven.3 The goal is to develop communicationskills (written, oral, and visual) and professional habits in engineering students

But while our students learned a great deal about product-market fit, design, andbusiness models, the course lacked content that provided direct learning about thestudents’ aspirations, professional growth, career planning.We realized that it might be possible to fill this gap by applying the courses’lessons ofdesign and entrepreneurship to each student’s own professional self. In a sense, eachstudent would be her or his own people group. To this end, we integrated design thinkingabout the students’ own lives into the

Incontrast, students with a growth mindset might appreciate the learning opportunities that awell-structured but difficult class offers.The purpose of this project was to first determine the mindset of MSE 308 students and then todetermine if their mindsets can be shifted away from a fixed mindset and toward a growthmindset. There were two research questions this project sought to address based on the plannedinterventions, (1) will those students with a more fixed mindset adopt more of a growth mindset?and (2) will students’ attitudes about their own abilities in what are perceived to be difficultclasses change?Method

The ICAP framework intends to link the often-elusive cognitive engagement toovert, observable behaviors. Foundational to this study is the use of a survey tool based upon theICAP framework. This survey, the In-Class Cognitive Engagement (ICCE) survey has emergedfrom the development of a larger project targeting student engagement cognitively and socially[8]. Development of the ICCE survey remains ongoing. Here, we seek to discuss studentperceptions of this instrument.

Engineering studentsexpect to make higher incomes than many other majors. That increase in expected earning powermay cause students to take out higher loans than they otherwise would have. MK Consulting [1]defines a 10% rule, that the amount of income that is typically needed for paying off this debtwithin 10 years has been around 10% of the borrowers’ income. Anything above this 10% isdefined as excessive debt [1]. Assuming an average debt of $50,000 at an interest rate of 4% for10 years, these
