Given thelow rates of participation in co-curricular activities during the freshman year, efforts should beconcentrated on increasing participation in activities that may benefit students most, such asparticipating in engineering student organizations. The findings presented are part of a largerproject supported by the NSF under Grant No. 1504741.References[1] National Academy of Engineering, “Understanding the Educational and Career Pathways of Engineers,” The National Academies Press, Washington, DC, USA, 2018, doi:10.17226/25284.[2] S.

, “Students’ agency beliefs involve how students see andthink about STEM as a way to better themselves and the world along with being a critic ofthemselves and science in general [20, p. 939]. The critical thinking perspective is intimately tiedto engineering agency beliefs, where students become “evaluator[s] of STEM as well as becomecritics of themselves and the world around them through self-reflection” [39, p. 13]. In essence,agency beliefs in this framework are based on a spectrum of how students view engineering as away to change their world or the world at large.Most agentic frameworks in engineering education used qualitative research methods. However,Godwin and colleagues [40] and Verdín and Godwin [41] used quantitative measures to

most interesting emerging trend is students’ conception of what anengineer is and does. In response to the question “How would you define "engineer"?”, themost common words students (n = 641) used were “problem[s]” (n = 398, 62%) and “solv[e,er, ing]” (342, 53%). Strikingly, only 2 responses mentioned “research” and only 2mentioned “stud[y, ies]”. This result suggests that students do not consider research as part ofengineering work or identity.Furthermore, coursework, and particularly “real-world” or applied projects and problems,seems to be students’ primary experience with engineering work and identity. In the question“Please describe an experience that made you feel like an engineer,” students (n = 498)mentioned “course[s, work]”/”class[es

skills they need to tackle that next topic.One challenge was motivating even the strongest students to prepare for the more open-endedportions of the exams. With such clear goals for the proficiency analyses, many of the beststudents over prepared for these problems, at the expense of the higher-order skill set. Studentsmay need coaching on how to balance their preparation and how to develop the higher orderskills.Works Cited[1] B. S.

After reviewing the game rules and starting the countdown timer, the students chose aroom from a drop-down menu. An image of the “room” was then displayed within the MATLABGUI. As is customary in escape rooms, students had to identify both the question being askedand the answer to that question in order to determine the “secret code” (consisting of three lettersor numbers) required to escape the room. When the students solved the final room puzzle, theprogram immediately stopped and computed the time it took each team to escape. Two hints anda

In summary, this work-in-progress paper presents a survey that measures a range ofoutcomes to assess the impact of a first-year engineering design course. By surveying thestudents at the beginning and end of the semester, positive changes in student self-efficacy andstudents’ perceptions of their skills are measured.References[1] A.

At thereceiver side, reverse operations of the transmitter are performed. The RF signal is first down-converted to baseband for processing. Then, the signal is low pass filtered, converted to digitalsignal using an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter, and down sampled. The serial stream ofsampled time signal is converted into parallel streams by the serial-to-parallel (S/P) converterand the cyclic prefix is discarded from the received composite signal.
