But that standing has been in jeopardy due to the shortage of domestic studentsgraduating in STEM. This concern has led researchers to investigate why graduation numbers areso low and also to propose ways in which STEM retention and hence graduation can beincreased. The data show that there are

Still, the verdict of independent scholars studying our program has been that we are notthat different, and our efforts at innovation may not be having their intended effect.51 Moreover,the structure of accreditation limits change at our institution and in other new and innovativeengineering programs.52I have pragmatically used EC 2000 as a motivation or justification for the use of criticalpedagogies and for liberal education reforms in the engineering curriculum. At the same time,EC 2000 undercuts some goals of critical pedagogies (and in fact ABET’s own lifelong learningoutcome) by reinforcing the idea of credentialing as the central purpose of an

The QFT’s impact on studentlearning will be described and eminently practical details for integrating the QFT intoengineering coursework will be outlined.1. IntroductionThe Question Formulation Technique (QFT) is a teaching strategy first made widely available tothe field of education in the book Make Just One Change: Teach Students to Ask Their OwnQuestions [2]. Since the publication of the book, the strategy has been used across all gradelevels [3]—from pre-k through higher education—and across

collegesfor some time, they assumed the majority position in undergraduate and graduate levelinstitutions collectively between 2005 and 2007, pointing to a “structural shift towardcontingent labor” previously predicted by [5].In engineering specifically, adjunct faculty representation is far less, but no less critical. Datashows the adjunct faculty full time equivalence (FTE) represents about 7% (2,940 FTE of36,776) of all engineering instructional positions [6]. Similarly, the National ScienceFoundation’s National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics reports that about 10% ofScience, engineering, and health doctorate holders employed in universities and 4-year collegeswere adjunct faculty in 2017, i.e. 19,800 of 212,700 faculty positions [7
. Engineering students who had completed the WGS 250course in Spring 2018 or 2019 but had not yet graduated (N = 7) were invited to one of two focusgroup sessions held in February, 2020. The invitation included a description of the study and anassurance of confidentiality.Informed consent was obtained from the study participants in writing before any questions wereposed. Discussions were facilitated by one author and a faculty colleague, neither of whom hadserved as an instructor for any WGS class. Focus group facilitators provided copies of the WGS250 reading list as a way of reminding participants of past course content and providingreference points for specific reading and authors.

need foundations in mathematics and physicswhich are best taught by members of the departments of mathematics and physics, which there-fore offer service courses to students in other departments. Since the study of engineering at theundergraduate level has not traditionally provided a foundation for the practice of any professionother than engineering, few non-engineering students take engineering courses for purely utilitar-ian reasons. Page 4.603.1 The second reason for such courses is cultural. Nearly all institutions of higher learninghave “general education” or “core” requirements which constitute the school’s notion of what

Following Green Zone training, attendees usually receive some visual designation (e-badge or physical sticker) to signal their office or person is a veteran ally.3. Resultsa. Role and Level - The use of roles provides very interesting profiles, but additional definition isrequired to understand the experience level and course levels of instructors, senior instructors,associate, and full professors.Generally assistant professors have been faculty for fewer than 6 years, are heavily focused ongaining tenure generally through research, and, therefore, may teach more graduate level courses,depending on institutional priorities and faculty development

Many of the ideas mentioned in this section are ideas that students learned about in theirintroductory design courses. Another student also mentioned how the idea of empathy can also connect tothe Jesuit tradition of educating the whole person. Specifically, they talked about the practice of“examenitos,” or short contemplative reflections about their day, that allowed them to “practicemindfulness, gratitude, and reimagine our own experiences and conditions… all of which create a moreholistic brand of engineering (Mystical Mango).” Humanity. The idea of humanity is highly related to the idea of empathy

One can find examples from all of the scientific andengineering disciplines of individuals who did just that and made immeasurable contributions asa result. This is a more honest portrayal of the way that science and engineering is actuallypracticed. One needs creativity and imagination to be a successful innovator in science andengineering, part of the ability to innovate arises from different life experiences and interactingwith people of different backgrounds and technical training.

As such, their perceptions of theseconnections are possibly different than those of the authors, who might see social media as eithera distraction, or a potential “add-on,” to the learning and practice of engineering.Increasing our understanding of the students’ attitudes and dispositions towards social media,engineering and leadership can inform the development of engineering education and practice.Therefore, this study explores two related research questions: 1. How are social media, engineering and leadership related to one another from a student perspective? 2. How do student self-perceptions of their leadership skills change
