potential participants to voluntarily provide certain aspects of theiridentity. These aspects included: class-level, major, race, gender, sexual orientation, documenteddisability, to name a few. When selecting participants for invitation in this study, we sought tomaximize variability within these identity-based categories in an effort to capture a broadspectrum of experiences and viewpoints. For instance, in assembling the focus groups of BlackMen, we not only looked at their shared racial and gender identity, but also sought to represent adiversity of academic majors within engineering, such as Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical andComputer, and Fire Protection. We were equally diligent in grouping participants based on classstanding, from

The majority of the joint research projects in which WMG are engaged atany one time involve the automotive and aerospace indust ries, and it was therefore logical toselect cases within WMG's research portfolio with representation from those industries. Ofthe five cases, four were components of a larger research programme involving theautomotive industry. These projects were therefore selected because they formed a naturalmultiple case study; the projects had a number of common characteristics, i.e., similar set-up(1 university plus several companies), similar collaboration agreement terms, and the projectsshared a common timescale. These common characteristics provided natural boundaries forthe study, limiting the extent of

Significant Differences in Student Affective ExperienceAbstractThis study looks at differences in non-intellective measures expressed by two engineeringstudent populations, one at a large public university in the pacific northwest and the other a smallprivate aerospace institution in the southeast. Both student populations are in their first year ofstudy in their respective engineering majors. Previously validated, Likert scale items were usedto measure self-efficacy, task value, peer support, two forms of faculty support, and two forms ofbelonging using a survey instrument. Students at the small private university reported that theirinstitution was friendlier and had a greater sense of togetherness than the public institution.However, no significant
engineering fields, several students changed from onearea of engineering to another. It is worth noting that, despite a heavy focus on CivilEngineering due to the Caltrans' SEI curriculum used in 2009, the only change in studentintended major is one student changing from Civil Engineering to a non-engineering major.Table 3-A.

This was voiced despite the existence courses being taught formany years with clearly stated learning objectives. As the stakeholders who provided jobs tograduates these comments were strongly considered. When similar statements were voiced bytop executives from large employers in the community, namely aerospace, energy, andagriculture, inactive could be disastrous.

253 600Students were asked to self-report their GPA. GPA was based on a scale of 4, with an “A” being a4.00, a “B” being a 3.00, a “C” being a 2.00, a “D” being a 1.00, and an “S” being a 0.00. Someclasses also used a “+” or “–” system. A “+” adds 0.33 to the base grade, while a “-” subtracts0.33. For example, a “B+” would quantitatively be a 3.33 (3.00 + 0.33), while a “B-” would be a2.77 (3.00 - 0.33).Data was gathered on students’ expected majors. Out of a total of 600 students, 311 (51.8%) weremechanical and/or aerospace engineering students, 114 (19.0%) were civil and/or environmentalengineering students, 102 (17.0%) were biomedical engineering students and 73 (12.2%) studentshad other majors. This data can be seen in Figure 2
