be a tremendous resource totap; in combination with regular “full-time” faculty- who are, in most instances, the “research-type,” and who have not had the opportunity to practice engineering. Second, industry’sprevailing perception that engineering education does not prepare graduates adequately for thepractice. Therefore, from industry’s perspective, the quality of education for engineering practiceis seen as deficient. Third, blending practical experience in teaching design and design-relatedcourses is repeatedly emphasized by ABET, and by other engineering organizations, such asASEE.(2,3) Thus, directions for proper merging of professional experience with engineeringscience in design courses are a concern that comes up often in

. American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Demographic Leadership –A First of its Kind Diversity Leadership Online Course in a Tier-1 University Doctorate Degree ProgramAbstractThis first course in a professional doctorate degree program called the Doctorate of Technology(DTECH) on demographic leadership at a tier 1 university was premised on years of research,practice, and scholarship. The scholarship was conducted by asking the question “Why don’tyou like me?”“Why don’t you like me?” as a research question, is not about the author(s) individually, butabout each of us as individuals. It is about all of us. The question is really “why don’t

bachelor degree typically non-engineering, or just taken a number of courses.Many of these students also dropped out of college many years ago, due to family or financialreasons, or due to mediocre academic performance. In other words, these online students areusually mature individuals. They enrolled in the program with a specific goal of completing theircollege degree or extending their expertise for career advancement. Unlike the on-campus studentswho have just graduated from high school, these individuals often have rich life experiences andare not looking for the social aspect of the college experience. At the time of the application to theonline program, practically all of them hold jobs and are more mature and focused students. Theyeither

Paper ID #18261Exploring School-to-work Transitions through Reflective JournalingMr. Ben David Lutz, Virginia Tech Ben Lutz is a PhD student in the Department of Engineering Education at Virginia Tech. His research in- terests include innovative pedagogies in engineering design, exploring student experiences within design settings, school-to-work transitions for new engineers, and efforts for inclusion and diversity within en- gineering. His current work explores how students describe their own learning in engineering design and how that learning supports transfer of learning from school into professional practice as well
