This was detailed in our pervious poster [4].Institution 1 approaches first-year engineering through a discipline specific model whileInstitution 2 uses the FYEP approach. Information from these surveys was used to inform thedevelopment of an interview protocol related to engineering communities and engineeringidentities.

Similarly, Gage and Thapa’s [36]study of volunteer motivations found that college students were more interested in volunteeringto further their career paths than non-student volunteers.Mentoring in STEM FieldsResearch on STEM school-based mentoring programs has focused primarily on the impact ofprogramming on participating students and teachers [37], [38], [39]. However, recent studieshave examined the role of mentors and the benefits they receive as mentors. As an example,Nelson and colleagues [11] studied how STEM undergraduate mentors reflected on theirexperiences working with K-8 low-SES youth. These undergraduates noted that the

America’s Promise (LEAP) was able to identify many suchHIPs that are gaining attention [1]. In a subsequent report, Kuh found that students whoparticipated in these HIPs show that they were positively affected by these activities, asmeasured by the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE). It was found that these“deep approaches to learning are important because students who use these approaches tend toearn higher grades and retain, integrate, and transfer information at higher rates [2].” Thus,what we set out to do is to apply HIPs to a 300- level engineering course at a state collegelevel and gather data regarding its effectiveness, student reflections, and possible futureimprovements for better learning outcomes.HIPs in a Mechanical

Conversely,the effectiveness of hands-on learning can be reduced if there are inadequate levels of studentengagement and reflection [1] - [3]. Due to advances in portable data acquisition devices, laptopcomputers, and an array of affordable sensors, there is an unprecedented opportunity to bringhands-on experiments out of the centralized labs, and into lecture classrooms, and even studentdorm rooms. While such mobile hands-on experiments have had substantial inroads in the fieldsof electrical and computer engineering (ECE

Therefore, universities should prepare integral professionals that articulateglobal knowledge, professional knowledge and work experiences, and recognize the needs andproblems of society to create sustainable and effective solutions. Competencies are the set ofskills, behaviors, and abilities that allow people to reflect on an action and know how to act whensituations are faced, even if the situation occurs in a new context [7].

For instance, he frequently minimizes or skips sections of theactivities that require whole group discussion, writing, or reflection; thus each activity runs about15 to 20 minutes under the suggested time. He infrequently emphasizes the activity’s purposewith the whole group (Table 4). His use of questioning strategies with the small groups appearsto support development of engineering habits of mind and sense making. The educator often usesquality pedagogical strategies that support youth, such as open-ended questioning (Table 4).Overall the educator facilitates a youth-directed experience
