engineeringeducation research to explore how engineering stakeholders conceptually understand or ‘cluster’ thegraduate attributes.In a large research university in Western Canada, an exploratory case study was designed with theoverarching objective to investigate whether the engineering programs in the Faculty of Engineeringemphasized the CEAB graduate attributes to reflect their reported importance by student, faculty andindustry member stakeholders. One purpose of the study was to determine how the CEAB graduateattributes cluster – or group – in practice for an Engineering-in-Training (EIT) at the beginning ofhis/her engineering career so that engineering education can be designed to more closely reflectengineering practice. In other words, when an engineer

engineering design studentsAbstractThis evidence-based practice paper describes the use of creativity practice exercises intended toenhance student creativity in a capstone design program. Engineering programs, in general, andcapstone design programs, in particular, that seek innovative conceptual solutions to complexproblems would benefit from techniques to develop and assess student creativity. Therefore, astudy was performed to evaluate two such techniques. Over the first two years of the study,capstone design students in the United States Air Force Academy’s Department of EngineeringMechanics were each assigned to one of 14 teams which received various learning experiences(treatments) intended to enhance individual creativity and design project

The four raters consisted of one chemicalengineering faculty member, one high school science teacher, and one graduate and oneundergraduate student in chemical engineering. All students completed ten traditional textbookproblems during the respective courses.AnalysesInitial inter-rater reliability was assessed in line with best

This will include recruiting students from different parts of the maps in order to conductlongitudinal interviews about engineering pathways and the negotiation of identities as engineers.This corresponding qualitative work will build upon this study’s existing quantitative results andwill inform additional studies with the insights recorded.ConclusionThis paper described the key model parameters that researchers must consider in using a newstatistical method, Topological Data Analysis (TDA). We also presented how TDA can be usefulto characterize students’ latent diversity from a survey study of 3,711 first-year engineeringstudents’ incoming attitudes, beliefs, and mindsets at 32 ABET-accredited
