groups with noviceengineers. Career history interviews of experienced engineering leaders, interspersed with guidedreflection, provided us with an interesting way to access implicit leadership learning over thecourse of participants’ three-to-four decade career histories [9, 54, 55]. It allowed us to askquestions about career transitions—something most engineers have a relatively easy timerecalling—with follow up reflection questions about the leadership insights they gained along theway—something many of us struggle to define, particularly busy, task-oriented professionalsfacing pressure to complete projects in time and on budget.When we asked direct questions about how participants learned to lead, most of them said one oftwo things; either

The SEaffect items in the survey do not appear to directly measure the elements in the sustainabilityaffective rubric in the CEBOK3. Self-efficacy items reflect students’ confidence that they haveknowledge and abilities related to sustainable engineering; as such, they are somewhat a self-assessment of the cognitive domain outcomes (e.g. identify is cognitive level 1, understandingreflects comprehension or cognitive level 2).Supporting data from the College of Engineering’s graduating senior survey has also beenincluded.

interview. Furthermore, because the author had developed a close workingrelationship with each of these students, a significant impact from the “Hawthorne effect”would be expected and these results should be interpreted with this in mind7. In otherwords, the responses of the alumni is likely biased by the personal relationship with theauthor, and therefore the results reflect a combination of both the views of the alumni onmastery learning as well as the views of the alumni on the author (i.e., some alumni mayseek to provide a “positive” response in hopes of “pleasing” the author).Of the ten alumni: 1) seven were male and three were female; 2) the ages ranged from 22to 26 years of age; 3) all were employed in the practice of engineering; and 4) all

Alternatively, students with theappropriate AP credits are not required to take first-semester calculus, though the programencourages participants to take the class regardless.The Current StudyThe current study was designed to explore whether RESP successfully increased

Advisory Board, we identified aset of topics for mentor training related to facilitating engineering activities. We organized thetopics into three modules: Engineering Design; Engaging Students in Engineering; and FosteringPositive Collaborations in Teams. For each of these three modules, we created pre-workassignments that consisted of a combination of pre-reading (text we created to summarizerelevant research literature), short videos, and on-line quizzes. The pre-work assignments weresent to the mentors in May 2018. We also created Tip Sheets to reflect (1) the topics emphasizedin the pre-work assignments and (2) topics specific to each specific curriculum module.Next StepsAt this time, we are analyzing data collected during the Summer 2018

An important outcome of the preliminary data analysis is some changes in the campactivities. This includes shorter presentations, emphasizing the engineering design process, anda follow-up hands-on activity closely connected to the presentation ending with a “reflection”session (theme 1). The “reflection” session after each activity would be where campers coulddiscuss why a design or approach worked or failed, like in a real engineering environment.

To enter the Engineering major, students must receivea C or better in core courses and achieve certain GPAs to allow entrance into enrollment-controlled majors. The intention is that this academic support and cohort building will increasethe retention of second-year Engineering students, particularly those at Penn State regionalcampuses who expect to transfer to the Penn State University Park (flagship) campus (2+2students). Jump Start participants spend the month of May at the Penn State University Parkcampus before the sophomore year at their regional campus.

with graphical communication skills [2, 3].The main problem with this sketching deficiency for engineering students is the impact on thelearned design process. This problem can manifest in several ways. For one, a correlationbetween freehand sketching and regulated thinking reflects students’ understanding of anunderlying conceptual structure [4]. This link is especially important for engineers, as complexsystems often must be sketched in order to offload working memory and sketching is a standardcommunication tool. With sketch interface systems, less emphasis is placed on the tool, andmore emphasis is placed on the fundamentals of learning. Tools change over time, but thefundamentals do not.

Guest lecturers and a field trip to a localmedical device start-up company were incorporated to illustrate real-life applications of theconcepts presented in class. At several points in the 6-week course, students were asked to reflecton the talks or activities to evaluate what they knew before, what they learned, what they foundinteresting, and what they hoped to learn next [2]. This process of self-reflection and evaluationnot only helped students identify topics they had learned but also determined what they wantedto continue studying.
