EVT guided the developmentof the data collection instrument and coding of students’ responses during data analysis.Examining course withdrawal decisions contributes to the larger project’s overarching goal ofunderstanding the learning environment in FECs by providing insight into a specific aspect of thelearners in that environment.MethodsTo address our research question, data were collected qualitatively. We developed a form fordepartments in charge of teaching large FECs in a research university in the mid-Atlantic thatcaptured reasons for withdrawing from a course. Participating departments required this form tobe completed, and IRB approval was secured for this study.Data collectionData were collected from 147 engineering students

Zafft et al.32quantitatively determined that student design teams distribute leadership roles across multiple teammembers while Feister et al.33 found that engineering students describe leadership as emergent andfluid in their teaming experiences. This study accounted for this conceptual shift in leadership byexamining team leadership from a shared perspective.Data and MethodsSample and Data CollectionStudent surveys were administered online during the 2014-2015 academic year at the end of thespring semester. Participants were enrolled in year-long, team-based, mechanical engineering-centric, senior-level capstone design courses at three institutions: a large, mid-Atlantic researchuniversity (site A) and two smaller military institutions (sites

It may also provide these professionals insights intocurrent program curricula, teaching methods, student attitudes and other things that may benefitthem as employers. The program leaders and faculty may benefit from these forums as well byproviding useful information that can be used to improve the program. These forums are apowerful example of college-industry partnerships. A relatively minimal investment of time hasthe potential to provide life-changing advice to students.References 1. N.A.

Sustainability is considered broadly to include the three pillars ofsustainability - environmental, social, and economic - but also explicitly addressesaspects from the Engineering for One Planet (EOP) framework - systems thinking andcritical thinking - as well as diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and student agency orempowerment to act. These curricular aspects are often relegated to isolatedassignments, and the current approach is to instead thread these aspects cohesivelythroughout

The class has twomeetings per week, once in a classroom for 50-minutes, and once in a laboratory for 165-minutes. Students from Rowan University’s five engineering disciplines – Biomedical,Chemical, Civil, Electrical and Computer, and Mechanical - are enrolled in the course anddistributed into multidisciplinary sections. There are currently 16 sections of the course offeredwith approximately 18-24 students in each section. Students work in teams on a semester-long,multidisciplinary

How is interdisciplinary competence affected by the participation in a narrative-based interdisciplinary case study?MethodsThis study was conducted at a mid-Atlantic university with three sections of a project-based,multidisciplinary engineering design course for sophomore engineering students. The study wasconducted during the fall 2021 semester. This study consisted of a total of 54 students, 48 ofwhom consented to participate in the study. 37 students completed both the pre- and post-surveyrequirements. The survey for data collection was distributed in the first and last class. The surveyconsisted of questions from the

The background of the students wassimilar at both schools; the students had completed statics, mechanics of materials, and structuralanalysis courses.
