in the eastern United States. Allfirst-year engineering students at the study site take a common course sequence preparing themto enter their chosen engineering discipline at the end of the freshman year, with studentsintending to major in electrical and computer engineering or computer science taking a second-semester course with an emphasis on computing and circuits. This course was the setting for thisstudy, with data collection occurring in the 2012-2013 academic year. Course content includedan introduction to ECE concepts including programming and analysis in MATLAB, and basiccircuits and sensors culminating in a half-semester team-based engineering design project andreport. In the first half of the semester, students engaged in a

As ASCE’s Executive Vice President, Dr. Lenox led several educational and professional career-development projects for the civil engineering profession – with the overall objective of properly preparing individuals for their futures as civil engineers. An example is his staff leadership of ASCE’s initiative to ”Raise the Bar” for entry into professional engineering practice. Dr. Lenox’s awards include ASCE’s ExCEEd Leadership Award, ASEE’s George K. Wadlin Award, ASCE’s William H.

depend on the kinds of questions instructors ask, the use of supportivefeedback, and their attention to issues of content versus formatting and editing concerns.The one-page letter report assignment provides a balanced time and length for students to write.However, this type of written assignment mainly emphasizes narrative writing with fewerfocuses on preparations of figures, tables, equations, and reference citation. Therefore,department-level efforts in the engineering major should be made to allow students to practice allaspects of technical writing in the curriculum from first-year courses to the senior capstonedesign project. Because the survey results from this study show that almost no one in thislaboratory course visited the university

resources engineering at Penn StateUniversity, the majority of the students, while majoring in civil engineering, are not focusing onwater. This means that motivating the students to learn the material conveyed becomes crucial,and asking the students to work on extensive projects, which often do not have a clear-cutanswer, is difficult. In addition, at Penn State, the average hydrology class size is approximately80 students, which is a considerable contrast to most US Universities where hydrology classesare considerably smaller as shown by a recent survey1 (Figure 1). Such large class sizes make itdifficult to engage the students and provide meaningful feedback on student understanding. Figure 1. Distribution of class sizes based on a survey

For example, we may construct a design rubric that specifically addresses thehow effectively students develop design standards for new technology within their project in theabsence of explicit building or design codes. This rubric can easily be incorporated into theLiveText system and aligned specific assignments that address this performance index for thedesign outcome.As the department has grown, there is no longer the resources nor the need to assess everyoutcome for every student.

], indicatingretention benefits for both the mentee and their student mentor [15]. Related research on facultymentoring of STEM students suggests ‘non-intrusive’ mentoring practices are effective insustaining motivation and building a sense of autonomy [16]. Non-intrusive practices are thosethat are based in a notion of self-determination; the role of the mentor is not to direct menteesbut, rather, to support them in arriving at their own solutions and ideas. In attaining this form ofmentoring practice mentors require ‘qualifications’ that go beyond their technical background.These might include attainment of a professional level and training expertise, willingness to help,communication skills and other individual characteristics [9].
