some type of familiarity to help me in university. After 1.5 years atPurdue, I can say that I’ve developed a friendship with a Turkish professor in our Polytechnicschool that has given me the parent perspective on maintaining Turkish for 2nd-generationTurkish-American immigrants as her son and I share the same language struggle. Myprofessional network is also rooted in the relationships created in the engineering communitythrough university connections and tools such as LinkedIn. As a student, it’s been emphasized, Ifeel, that people love to share their experiences with engineering students and I’ve personallysought out engineers in different industries such as aerospace, animation, renewable energy, andmore to help me figure out what I want
study used UVIs to make connections between mechanics concepts and their usein various engineering disciplines. We defined Disciplinary Connections to note instances wherestudents reflected on how specific mechanics topics might be useful or important for success intheir area of study or eventual career. The following excerpt shows a student reflecting on howtheir knowledge of rigid body rotation and angular momentum will be pertinent to their futurework as an aerospace engineer. … I also am enjoying dynamics more - especially what we're doing right now, rotation and angular momentum - because I know it will be applicable in my career. I'm an aerospace major and my ultimate goal is to work for NASA, Lockheed Martin

AUC campus; later the wind pump was transported to El Heiz, adesert oasis community in the Western Desert. Travel to the Western Desert was restricted byEgyptian authorities at the time which is why the wind pump was erected and tested at AUC andlater transported to El Heiz. In addition to the wind pump project, the students travelled acrossEgypt to survey communities in the Delta and Red Sea coast to assess their water needs anddevelop potential solutions or proposals for future work in these areas. Nine students participatedin the program; four from Princeton and 5 from AUC from diverse backgrounds in Mechanicaland Aerospace Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Computer Engineering, andOperations Research and Financial
complexities.Informal leadership structures are established in these projects. The study clearly established theperceived leader-follower relationships in the ten-member aerospace. Informal leadershipfunctions are distributed across the student design teams participating in this research. The densityof the structures is indicative of this distribution.The network distributions present in this study suggests that student design team members will beengaged in informal leadership functions during their capstone engineering projects. Faculty andstudents may benefit from preparation to assume these roles that extend beyond formally definedpositions. Leadership behavior interventions may be beneficial, however, it may be necessary tofirst identify where influencing

Like, yes, this is a small town, and I'm lucky to have it growing up, but I felt like, you know, there's points in life where you have to move on, sort of.Student E had a similar response, noting that there were no jobs that were of interest in herhometown: “I probably won't be able to return home for a permanent amount of time becausethere's not many opportunities as a chemical engineer there except for, like, paper mill. I don'treally wanna do that. I don't really wanna work at the paper mill.” She goes on to talk about
boxes that generate results from inputs. There are a few examples of incorporatingcomputing into mechanics courses [4−7], but the depth and range of the projects vary from using a cannedprogram as a black box to projects that involve the full creation of a working program. In one case, theintroduction of regular programming assignments in an aerospace department proved beneficial forstudents, but they concluded that the students lacked the needed foundation in programming for theproject to be successful [8]. Further, integration of MATLAB as a regular exercise in a dynamics coursewas shown to have an impact on the students learning of programming concepts [9] as well as exposure tomore complex problems and the concept of uncertainty [10
