engineering education. Thesegoals were met by incorporating career exploration, collaboration, self-reflection, and diverselearning opportunities. The effectiveness of the course re-design was evaluated through surveysand interviews with students that took the course. The survey results showed, overwhelmingly,that the course increased their sense of connection to the engineering community. In addition,those students felt more confident in leading outreach activities regarding STEM education.There were two common themes identified from the interviews, sense of belonging andcommunity. Students were also able to identify their enduring goals and reasons for becoming anengineer [6].An intervention at a mid-Atlantic university showcased a positive impact
focus on understanding how the shift to online remoteinstruction was experienced and understood by students in an engineering department at a mid-Atlantic university. Through focus groups, students discussed their experiences with onlinelearning over the course of the pandemic and how they felt they were affected. Student responsesyielded categories that included their experiences while at home, the expectation violationsassociated with pivoting to remote instruction, changes in content delivery, initial experiences ofpivoting to online learning, the perceived learning gap, their professors’ ability to adapt, andtheir individual experiences using spaces during online learning. The themes that emerged helpto describe the experiences of four

Thisquestion also asks for the friends’ gender, if they are the same race/ethnicity as the studentcompleting this survey, and how the student interacts with the listed friend (Studying/GroupWork, Extracurriculars, Coworkers, Friends outside of class, or Other), and how the listed friendsinteracted with each other (if at all). This data was used to determine the relationship betweenhomophily, the number and quality of friendships, and engineering students' self-efficacy

IntroductionChoosing a major is a daunting task for many first-year college students, especially if the choicesspan fields with which students have little exposure and experience. It is estimated that 20 – 50%of first-year college students enter college as “undecided” about their major[7]. In order toprovide first-year engineering students time to discern, a set of resources and course activitieswere created and assessed in an introduction to engineering course. The results of two studies arepresented in this paper.The structure of the remainder of the paper is as follows. The next section describes theeducational theory relevant to this study, models of introduction to
choices. In this study, we are concerned with GTAs‟ autonomy inteaching tasks.MethodsBecause little is known about GTAs‟ teaching experiences, this research is exploratory in nature.Moreover, qualitative research methods are most appropriate for answering our researchquestions as we seek to understand GTAs‟ experience in their own words 19. Although there area variety of quantitative instruments for studying SDT none are directly applicable in thissituation and using qualitative methods could help us develop appropriate quantitative methodsfor future use.ParticipantsParticipants were selected from graduate teaching assistants in the College of Engineering at alarge, research intensive, land-grant university in a Mid-Atlantic state. Only graduate
courses includegiving students hands-on experiences and providing them with an integrated perspective on ECEtopics so that they see the linkages between material across courses, such as transistors in theelectronics course and in the digital systems course.The project described in this paper is for the ECE 2804 “Integrated Design Project” course in thesecond semester of the second year. The course is meant to be a “mini-capstone” course thatprovides a scaffold for students toward a more open-ended design experience in their fourth year,as well as exposes students to a variety of professionalism topics, as will be described in moredetail in Section 5. The course also serves as a gateway to choosing a major in the third year, asthe course is a
