, studentsare evaluated by individual work and tests [7]. This trend is common regardless of thelocation. A previous study has concluded that engineering students have similarperceptions of culture despite their country [8]. Many students report feeling academicstress at some point in the semester; a great number of them agree that studying forexams is the biggest source of stress and anxiety, especially when there is a gradecompetition or a large amount of theory to master in a small amount of time [9].Alternative ways to measure the students’ knowledge and understanding have beenproposed. A previous study concluded that visual representations have many benefits onengineering students’ thinking, and the findings highlight the creation of

Some assigned individual projects, and some offer collaborative team work [10]. Of moreinterest in this paper is interdisciplinary capstones at the graduate level. Some programs do offerinterdisciplinary capstone at the graduate level in particular graduate sustainability programs,environmental studies and sciences [7], [9], [10]. Jiji at al.

They developed a six-credit, year-long capstone for students from different disciplinesworking on interdisciplinary projects. Instructors from

sought to develop a “safeplayground” to allow students to attempt something new. As students are most likely unfamiliarwith the different painting techniques employed it would be easy for them to be intimidated orfrustrated if simply asked to create something [11]-[12]. Such anxiety was partially mitigated bylimiting the materials made available for the art creation (i.e., students have less choices tomake). Second, the authors undertook background research and preliminary studies withdifferent techniques so that the information could be provided to students with the goal ofavoiding/reducing undesirable effects when students began working hands-on with a paintingtechnique. The goal of the art creation was not to have the students master any
1The number of times a program has been awarded and what ET programs have benefited fromthe NSF program are listed in Table IV. The most listed program is Engineering Technologywith no specific major. Still, the number of awards for ET is very low compared to those inengineering in Table III. Most of the awards granted by NSF S-STEM program involvesscholarships for students and the number varied from very few to over 200 students. Someuniversities included minorities such as Hispanics or Black populations in their project. Thedegrees varied from Associates to Bachelors and even some Master degrees. When comparingthe summaries from Tables III and IV, clearly, the number of students impacted by grantsawarded to those in engineering surpasses

Each rubric wasbased on a 4-point Likert scale and ranked from 4 (master) to 1 (novice) based on multiple DTconcept categories (see Appendix). These categories were defined as problem description, needsstatement, design criteria, multiple solutions, prototype creation, component testing, finalprototype testing, and context, which stem from different aspects of the Design ThinkingProcess. The SD design documents were reviewed to determine if these items were mentionedand described based on the defined rubric levels. These rubric

EC2000 requires engineering programs to evaluate studentperformance according to 11 learning outcomes, and use the evaluation results forprogram improvement. Program heads say these practices have received strongsupport from teacher. In addition, in order to share and master advanced engineeringeducation evaluation theories, tools and methods, teacher also actively carry outrelevant research on the quality assurance in engineering education teaching.Encouraging teacher to “embed” evaluation activities in teaching and use evaluationresults to continuously reflect and improve teaching, has laid the cornerstone of

For example, sessions held in computer labs involve a professor orteaching assistant demonstrating spreadsheet skills or techniques that can be mimicked bystudents. While instructors can give real time feedback in computer laboratories with smallnumbers of students, measuring students’ spreadsheet skills at scale is quite difficult.Alternatively, multiple choice tests can assess spreadsheet skills [10].

examine the role offaculty beliefs in student success [24]. Carol Dweck [25] identified two types of mindsettendencies driven by beliefs: fixed or growth mindset. Fixed mindset is defined as believing thatqualities are set and everyone is born with a certain amount of intelligence, creativity, personalityand moral character [25]. Alternatively, a growth mindset is the belief that intelligence ismalleable and can be developed over time [25].Faculty with a fixed mindset believe that certain students have an innate ability to be successfulin their course. While they may not be overt about their beliefs with students, often theirpedagogical practices and underlying messages to students communicate their stance onstudents’ ability to master

In relation to entry level course hurdles,competence is key. Competence, or self-efficacy, can be achieved with the support of well-structuredenvironments to tackle challenging tasks, receive positive feedback and exercise professional growth.

completing this fully virtual course.Responses regarding ‘cognitive competence’ indicate a positive attitude towards intellectualknowledge and skills when applied to thermodynamics. Students also seem to believe thatthermodynamics is a difficult subject that takes time to master. However, they still worked hardin the course, as depicted by their responses to the ‘effort’ questions. Further, they wanted tolearn and understand the material, based on their responses in the ‘interest’ portion of the survey.This is likely because they believe that knowledge of thermodynamics will make them moreemployable and think thermodynamics should be a required part of their training, based on theirresponses to the ‘value’ questions.The analysis of exam scores
