She enjoys serving as a ”communication coach” to students throughout the curriculum, and she’s especially excited to work with first year and senior students, as well as engineering project teams, as they navigate the more open-ended communication decisions involved in describing the products of open-ended design scenarios. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Gender
programs or assist in the enhancement of existing programs. To gain a greaterunderstanding of mentoring, a subset of interviews from the SPRITE (Student Perspective onResearch Identity and Transformation of Epistemology) project, a larger research project aboutundergraduate students’ experience in research, were analyzed and coded in relation to the topicof mentoring. The larger project focused on the identities and epistemologies of undergraduateresearchers, but various data collection measures, allowed for information regarding mentorshipin undergraduate research to also be collected. By reviewing the mentorship informationcollected in the large study, we were able to develop a deeper understanding of three pillars ofmentorship, including

By using the developed AR application, students will be able to learn aboutdiverse science topics more efficiently and visually. The AR mobile application allows the userto project a 3D (3-Dimensional) AR model of science topics on a real-world surface (such as atable or a piece of paper). The users will be able to interact with the model as if it existed outsideof the mobile application using touch interfaces. Visual information helps us to
aspect to the successful performance of student teams is communication. Student teamsnegotiate many aspects of collaboration, including deadlines, meeting times, and expectations.Previous works have found that the different meanings which people place on commonly usedwords or phrases often lead to miscommunications in the professional workplace. It is unknown,however, how this situation translates to the collegiate setting, specifically on team-basedprojects, the manners that this could potentially affect the progress of the students, and if thereare any differences in interpretation of these phrases that are along demographic lines. In thisstudent-directed project, participants (n=119) of varying technical backgrounds were surveyed asto their
colleges; and primarily white and Hispanic serving institutions are alsoincluded in the student data set. A subject selection matrix was employed to also maintain somedegree of balance within our sample with regards to gender, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomicbackground, with the project PIs helping to secure additional interviews to round outdemographic variation. We currently have N=29 interviews completed, and their mapping to thelarger project and the basic demographics of our sample are described in Table 1 & 2,respectively.

preparation, and itscourse projects have been well described in other studies [16], [18].Background and Institutional SettingAlthough many senior level engineering students at The Citadel participate in internships foracademic credit, many do not wait until their senior year for this experience. Many will seek anengineering internship, typically over the summer, primarily for the pay. As a rising sophomoreor junior, they have limited technical knowledge to contribute. However, as a rising sophomorethrough senior, they can gain considerable knowledge of collaborative problem solving and learna variety of new skills through internship experiences. Perhaps learning from both theory andexample is one of the greatest benefits of an internship, not only
expertise in mechanical engineeringwas required. Thus, during a departmental faculty meeting two senior professors were selected forhelping the students with technical issues; one professor in the area of thermo-fluidics and the other inmaterials, machine tools and manufacturing. Each one was given one and half (1.5) credit hours of releasetime per semester for mentoring the undergraduate students with their specific technical problems, suchas technical projects and their oral presentations, preparing them for job interviews, writing technicalpapers for publication in journals and conference proceedings, etc. Both the professors maintained awritten document like a log-book or field notes for each mentoring session. These are powerful tools, forthe

days, I try to put reasonable effort into winning academic accolades while remembering the manyaspects that can make them arbitrary and biased. I try to think about it pragmatically-- it is certainlyuseful, functionally, to me to win an award. It will help me have social capital to move on to the nextmore impactful project. I do not need to put the measure of my self worth in the academic accolade. Allacademic accolades come down to the decisions of a set of people, who may be very knowledgeable, butare still fallible. I try to remind myself that I do my work for bigger reasons than my own self-promotion.Any academic accolades are tools that help me do that work, not an end in themselves. 4.

between the ages of three to five years acquire these skills. The second development stagereferenced by Piaget is visualizing objects in three-dimensional forms and being able to perceivethese objects from different dimensions via mental rotation. Students typically acquire this skill byadolescence for objects they are familiar with [24]. He cautions, however, that if the object is notfamiliar, students may have difficulty in visualizing the object even while in college. Piagetclassified projection skills as the third stage, where students can visualize different measurementsand combine them such as distance, rotation, volume, translation, and reflection [24].Theoretical PerspectiveThis study evaluates the literature through the lens of a social
