kappa of 0.627indicates a moderate level of agreement between the researchers. The results from this paperprovide insight into how students interpret Curiosity and can be used to develop materials aboutEM that might better resonate with first-year students. Future work will explore the remainingtwo “Cs”: Connections and Creating Value.IntroductionThis study involves integrating fortnightly reflective practice into a first-year engineering coursewhile simultaneously beginning to instill an entrepreneurial mindset (EM) (as defined by theKern Engineering Entrepreneurship Network (KEEN)) in the engineering students at a mid-size,Mid-Atlantic, public university. Of particular interest is understanding students’ conception ofCuriosity, one of the

Perceptions of Engineers and Engineering as a Career Relate to Their Self-Efficacy, Career Expectations, and Grittiness?AbstractThis complete research paper examines the potential connection between student beliefs aboutengineering as a profession, as well as the perceptions of their family and friends, to their reportedself-efficacy, career expectations, and grittiness.The student responses examined were obtained from non-calculus ready engineering students at alarge land grant institution in the Mid-Atlantic region. The students participated in a well-established program focused on cohort formation, mentorship, professional skill development, andfostering a sense of inclusion and belonging in engineering. The program, consisting of a one-week pre

as wrong [7]. While one option may be to educate students onwhat is considered plagiarism in computer programming courses, such interventions have hadmixed effectiveness [5], [8]. In reality, plagiarism is likely to be a persisting problem incomputer programming courses. Given what we know about plagiarism in general, we will nowdescribe how it has affected the programming course at the center of this paper.Course Description The course described in this paper is a large (400-700 student), first-year programmingcourse at a large, land-grant university in the Mid-Atlantic United States. The programmingcourse teaches the MATLAB programming language, and focuses on the fundamentals ofcomputer programming for student learning objectives. The
