was still a perceived imbalance[24].One account of EC 2000’s origins can be found in an early participant account of EC 2000 andits impacts [25]. In our study, we deploy insights from organizational behavior to offer a morenuanced understanding of change processes, such as the organizational inertia that both limit andchannel institutional responses. To begin with an example outside of ABET—but of anorganization that played a key role in coordinating ABET’s stakeholders—the early responses ofthe National Science Foundation are indicative of this particular phenomenon. Faced with thepurported successes of Japanese industrial policy and planning, NSF, along with other federalagencies, shifted towards more targeted funding strategies [22]. The

technology nowadays,writing on a Tablet with a quality stylus could feel akin to their paper-and-pen counterpart. Formost problem-based STEM content, high quality screencast videos perceived as most useful bystudents depended not only on thorough planning of the recorded content, but upon careful post-editing with callouts. Of course, any awkward pauses, misspoken words, or other unwantedportions should be removed to craft a focused video that uses students’ time efficiently andsustains their retention. Furthermore, it is important to stress that rich annotations created byinstructors during pre- and post-editing can help grab students’ attention, significantly enhancevideo quality, result in deep impact, and make it a more fun experience. As shown
of their junioryear. The journal can serve as physical evidence that the student can use to keep track of all theactivities, document the history, write notes, and revisit whenever needed. It is also a way to seethe linkage between the courses [39].3.4 Future PlanThe plan of this project is to assess the impact of i) using VR technology to teach IE conceptsand ii) using VR teaching modules to integrate the IE curriculum. The assessment involves twocohorts: control and intervention groups. The authors are currently collecting data for the controlgroup. Once the VR module is fully developed, relevant data will be collected and analyzed withrespect to the control group. The assessment instruments involve self-report surveys andknowledge tests
representedballistic ball trajectories under gravity.Once students were familiar with the rocket kit components and the model-building capabilitiesof RockSim, the teacher instructed on how to select the appropriate virtual rocket motorconsistent with planned launches and how to simulate flights of the virtual rockets. Consideringthe substantial weight of LoadStar II top stages and the fact each would be carrying an altimeter(adding more eight), the most powerful motor option recommended by Estes for top-stageLoadStar II launches was used: the 18-mm-diameter Estes C6-5 rocket motor [51]. These motorsare available in Educator Bulk Packs to keep costs low. Virtual RockSim launches of simulatedunmodified LoadStar II top stages with C6-5 motors established an
protocol covered questions about the student’s post-graduation career plans and job search related activities. If the student had professionalengineering co-op or internship experiences, they were asked to describe what these experienceswere like and how they may be informing students’ career-related thinking going forward. Eachinterview was approximately 45 minutes long, conducted by phone, recorded, and transcribed.Further details about the overall study and the interview data collection process are provided in[14] and [15]. Because the current analysis focuses on experiences within engineeringorganizations, the data set includes interviews with students who reported having engineering co-op or internship experiences, only.Data Set 2The second
will enjoy the challenge of working with difficult technical issues in the context of advanced technology. The results of our study, particularly the relatively small proportion of time devoted to solitary technical work, have helped to explain some of the frustrations I have so frequently encountered among engineers. Many felt frustrated because they did not think that their jobs provided them with enough technical challenges. Others felt frustrated because they thought that a different career choice might have led to a job that would enable them to make more use of the advanced technical subjects they had studied in their university courses. Many of them were actually planning to leave their
