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

The following sections summarize the most significant aspects.Global skills articulationTo help students translate their global experiences into professional assets, students developedresumes that highlighted these experiences. Students identified three key skills gained abroad,such as flexibility, intercultural communication, or problem-solving, and provided briefexplanations of how these skills were demonstrated during their experiences. This assignmentensured students could effectively showcase their global competencies to potential employerswith supporting examples from their programs. A guest speaker from the career office

Once data were cleaned and processed, we were able toconduct statistical analyses that addressed the two research questions.The study population (post-data cleaning) consists of 876 students in freshman engineering fromFall 2013 at a large, Mid-Atlantic research university. Students who opted-out of having theirdata part of the on-going research project were removed from the data set.

The same collaborationcould work for two sections for a slight increase in budget. These costs are modest, and industrysupport is a real possibility since industry interest in this type of project is growing. AlthoughISDN lines guarantee quality connections, they are expensive and accounted for almost half ofthe total cost.

In terms of positionality, the author isa faculty member in an electrical and computer engineering (ECE) degree program at a liberalarts university in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States. My perspective is shaped by myacademic background, professional experiences, and personal values.

Spending time at the NationalScience Foundation facilitated this divorce from institutional priorities, shifting my perspectiveto understand education’s role in supporting larger

Results come from twostudent populations, sophomores and seniors, both attending the same engineering undergraduateprogram at a medium (~20,000 students) public mid-Atlantic, liberal-arts research university.Through the comparison of sophomores to seniors, the authors look to explore how students’mental models develop over the course of an undergraduate engineering degree.The study involved the completion of an in-class activity that elicits mental

Moreover, algebra is a key lever topromoting rich postsecondary opportunities. To address limited algebra proficiency in one urbanschool district, a mid-Atlantic university outreach center developed a strategy of extendedlearning time for ninth to eleventh graders and received funding from the NSF (DRL-2005790).The program’s curriculum entails online learning with math/algebra (reinforcement) lessonscontextualized within engineering challenges (i.e., “missions”). Ten missions were originallydeveloped with input from stakeholders and students though only six were tested. Each
Education, 2023These discrepancies can lead to difficulties when the students’ level of base knowledge is notequivalent to what professors in college programs expect, potentially leading to a difficulttransition to college, additional years of study, and, worst case, attrition.Math preparation has been largely viewed as one of the keys to success in engineering. Thefollowing paper reviews the program requirements of nine civil engineering and civilengineering technology programs in the Mid-Atlantic region and the current high schoolgraduation requirements of the average incoming student. The expectations of programs,remediation options, and additional education options are reviewed to determine how differentprograms handle the various levels of
