This qualitative analysis will be reported in future publications.The URES tool developed in this study represents a preliminary effort to collect and analyzeperceptions of undergraduate research experiences across all class years. Items were drawnfrom constructs associated with assessment of research training programs that overlappedwith constructs of engineering identity. Responses suggest that students build their definitionsof engineering based primarily on didactic training and do not necessarily view high-impactextracurricular research experiences as part of what it means to be an engineer. Future workwill examine the overlap among measures of engineering identity and research skills and willmap the qualitative

engineering and the profession. Throughmakerspace activities and the perception of feeling included and developing a sense ofbelonging, students can determine if they are perceived as being part of the engineeringcommunity [12] and therefore, are or can be perceived as being professional engineers. Wemaintain that students who do not feel they belong or included in makerspaces may also feel theyare not perceived to be future engineers, influencing their identity as being members of theprofession and the community of engineers. Thus, gender, ethnicity, and culture may beassociated with feeling of belonging in makerspaces, and an indicator of students’ feeling ofbelonging in engineering and developing and engineering identity. Given students are likely

Institute at UGA is an innovative approach that fuses high quality engineering education research with systematic educational innovation to transform the educational practices and cultures of engineering. Dr. Walther’s research group, the Collaborative Lounge for Understanding Society and Technology through Educational Research (CLUSTER), is a dynamic in- terdisciplinary team that brings together professors, graduate, and undergraduate students from engineer- ing, art, educational psychology, and social work in the context of fundamental educational research. Dr. Walther’s research program spans interpretive research methodologies in engineering education, the pro- fessional formation of engineers, the role of empathy

: A review of the literature AbstractGraduates from aviation and aerospace technical and engineering disciplines emerge withcertifications and academic coursework to fulfill the respective degree requirements, but maystill lack fluency in key non-technical competencies to fully leverage their professionalcredentials and academic preparation. Due to the applied nature of the aviation and aerospacedisciplines, problem-based learning approaches implicitly seek to incorporate and develop suchskills as part of the educational experience. Individual resilience is one example of a non-technical competency sought by employers across high consequence, technology-basedindustries. However, a stronger shift from

Activities such as establishing learning communities through project-orientedengineering teams, aim at developing freshmen and sophomores’ interactions with seniorstudents via capstone and design-oriented courses. These interactions are structured around twoone-credit courses, Introduction to Engineering (INGE-3001) and Introduction to LearningCommunities (INGE-3002).In the formative component, interventions in the form of talks and soft-skill workshops are aimedat training students using well-known high-impact educational practices [21].

For example, students who participate in these activities get jobsafter graduation at higher rates than those who do not.[7]But the engineering curriculum is very dense, making participation in out-of-classroom and co-curricular activities challenging. Brint and co-workers [8] found that there are two separateacademic cultures of engagement, where the arts, humanities, and social sciences focus on the“interaction, participation, and interest in ideas,” and science and engineering disciplines focuson

The purposeof the study was to investigate how this napkin sketch activity addresses three concerns ofengineering educators: creativity, visualization and communication, and knowledge retention.Specific objectives of the study were to generate conclusions regarding the activity’s ability to(1) provide an outlet for, and a means of encouraging creativity, (2) provide an opportunity forstudents to visualize and communicate what they have learned through drawings rather thanequations or writing, and (3) encourage knowledge retention by providing a
