course for future goals were used. Procedures regarding saliva collectionspecifically followed best practices guidelines provided by the Institution of InterdisciplinarySalivary Bioscience Research (IISBR) at Arizona State University. Upon entering the classroom, students were given a packet of materials that describedthe study. This packet also included a saliva collection kit, a self-report survey, consent formand a bottle of water. The saliva collection kit contained two oral swabs and two collectionvials marked with the participants’ unique identification code. After collecting signed consentforms, a researcher explained the saliva collecting process and instructed students to rinsetheir mouths with water and to place the oral cotton

thatprovide similar benefits in the classroom, we can better ensure all of our students have theopportunity to acquire this much-needed skill. Developing intuition is not only a majoreducational advance in creating stronger problem-solvers and critical thinkers, but also narrowsthe opportunity gaps that persist in engineering. Furthermore, by creating effective interventions,we will give useful tools to engineering educators that can help promote intuition development.As we prepare students to become practicing engineers, we must also equip them with both theconcrete and abstract technical skills necessary for not only personal success but also positivesocietal impact. While catastrophic failures of engineering intuition are not often reported

increased effect on engineering faculty. Itwould be a significant finding to describe even one passing student with an insufficientconceptual understanding of stress.Although high-performing students were chosen to increase the impact of the study’sfindings, it is important to emphasize that any students could have been selected for thepurposes of this research. It is not assumed that these three students represent anypopulation other than themselves. It had been induced from theory that very few studentsin any class would have a conceptual understanding of stress states, so case studies wereundertaken with the goal of finding and describing their particular understanding andapproach to solving problems.Possible threats to internal validity

introduction of lifelong learning as a required outcome for allengineering graduates, ABET exposed major deficiencies in the approaches of conventionalengineering curricula and illuminated the fact that conventional approaches may inducedependency rather than autonomy in learning. Educators now recognize that students’development of a capacity for self-directed, lifelong learning is critical for their success intoday’s global engineering environment, but the details of how we may best engage students inSDL (and eventually lifelong learning) still pose a substantial challenge. To effectively promoteSDL, faculty need to develop skills in facilitating pedagogies that engage students in self-direction, a sensitivity to and understanding of student

to grow at a faster rate than the demand for qualified graduates inother occupations. Despite the value and increasing necessity of STEM skills within today’ssociety and the 21st century workforce, substantial numbers of Americans still do not have equalaccess to postsecondary STEM education and, thus, have limited opportunities for STEM-relatedemployment and careers [4].Along with unequal access to STEM degree programs, researchers report stark differencesbetween traditional and nontraditional undergraduate enrollment and degree attainment in STEM,wherein nontraditional students consistently fare worse.

Henry expresses internal motivation to learn the material. A well-developed interest causesstudents to self-regulate their learning 31, which Henry expresses in the quote above.Scott also expressed a characteristic of a developed interest.
