This concept wasfurther developed to include defining team and task, team climate, communication, and reflection(for a detailed description, please see Table 1)23-26.Design competence focused on finding and evaluating variants and recognizing and solvingcomplex design problems. These were further defined as having the ability to discover and designmultiple solutions to a given problem and to effectively evaluate those solutions to determine thebest solution, and having the ability to see the overall picture of a complex design problem, thenbreaking it into smaller, more manageable parts to solve while keeping the overall problem

market for the product(s) and other revenue generating streams was discussed (Outcomes 2 and 6). e) A clear recommendation as to whether the project should be considered in more detail was made. This recommendation was based on the I/O economic assessment, as well as on environmental and social measures. It was also made clear which process alternative(s) were viable, if any (Outcomes 1 and 4). f) The proposal was written in a logical format. There were minimal typos and formatting errors, the figures were clear and readable, and the references were cited correctly (Outcome 1).Students were assigned the prompt on the first day of class and were allowed eight weeks tocomplete the

– Very good).Analysis of program ratings revealed overall satisfaction with the REU program (M = 4.17; Mo =4). Ratings of “Good” or higher, as evidenced by mean and mode responses, were obtained forthe following REU elements: working relationship with research mentor(s) (M = 3.17; Mo = 4);working relationship with research group members (M = 3.75; Mo = 4); the amount of time spentwith research mentor(s) (M = 2.83; Mo = 4); the advice given about careers and graduate school(M = 3.45; Mo = 3); and the research experience overall (M = 3.25; Mo = 3). The REU elementof the amount of time spent doing meaningful research received a “Fair” rating overall (M =2.83; Mo = 2), suggesting an important area of improvement for the research program.Table 5

while studying chemical engineering.Multiple methods were used to collect data. Demographic information, the grit-S, andengineering identity instruments were collected for chemical engineering students at aresearch institution via Qualtrics. Two students consented to participate in the semi-structured interviews. This pilot contrasts Kate and Dan’s quantitative measures ofsuccess (GPA, grit, engineering identity) with their qualitative experiences from theinterview. Additionally, Kate and Dan’s engineering identity scores were compared to‘other’ senior engineering students’ scores to describe the different ways of definingsuccess.This work shares two student experiences that expand the common definition of success as gettinggood grades.

because when an engineer frames a problem, s/he gainsownership of the problem; having such ownership affirms her/his identity as an engineer. Thus,we sought to connect student assets to problem framing as a means to support a growth mindsetwherein diverse students view themselves as already having the capabilities to participate in thedesign process.Next stepsThere have been calls for more research specifically looking at how, when and why certaingroups—including Hispanics and Native Americans—initially choose and then persist inengineering.8 This research begins to address this call. Simply identifying engineering assets andnot acting on them will do little to change student persistence. This study represents a first step ina longer research

not just the university’s responsibility. You need to go and you need to try and develop your own skills and prepare yourself for the future…This shift in narrative was common for students. Alexander likewise repeated the importance of“tak[ing] advantage of everything they offer. At least, everything that [he] think[s] is applicableto [him] and [his] well-being.” Students began to reference other facilities and services providedby the university, including career offices, recreational activities, and wellness programs. Thefocus shifted from students simply putting effort into being good students and members of thecommunity to direct engagement with university structures.Financial Investment
