approach of this research is to employ an outreach program as a non-classroom basedpedagogy of engagement. A number of non-outreach opportunities outside the classroom forengineering students have been studied to determine if they do indeed encourage intentionallearning goals and active reflection by the student on what he or she learns throughout theexperience.[22-25] These opportunities range from volunteer community service to field education,such as internships and co-ops.[26] Research has shown that these experiences not only allowstudents to gain a sense of civic responsibility, but that they also help students to developprofessional teamwork and communication skills, assist in identifying career paths, preparestudents for the demands of

advantages of portfolios is their potential to engagestudents in intentional learning, resulting in an increased ability in life-long learning 12, 13, 14, 15, 16,17 . Portfolios are expected to have a positive effect on attitudinal, motivational, affective, andprofessional outcomes 12. These may include increased self-confidence, increased awareness ofprofessional identity, more positive attitudes toward profession, improved career-decision self-efficacy, and increased ability to build a network of professionals. DiBiase18 described manyother potential benefits of e-portfolios including an increased learning effectiveness for students,the opportunity for faculty to leverage student motivation and align objectives and evaluationstrategies, and the
sections of E MCH 213 (Strength ofMaterials) will complete a mini-design project as a part of the traditional analysis courseworkwhile the students in the remaining three sections will instead complete an extended writingassignment on career issues in several different engineering fields. This way, the workload forboth sets will be comparable, but the experience will be different to help us determine if small-scale design activities can have a measurable influence on overall design knowledge. We willuse the spring 2008 data collection to measure the effects of this implementation.Bibliography1.

The assumption is a satisfiedstudent equals a happy family, which translates directly into the efficacy of the family’stransitional success.Personal TransitionsBeing at a university means being a newcomer in a strange, and possible lonely community.Some days students may want to fly, run, walk, or drive home. There will be days where thestudent feels they cannot stand one more day in the residence halls, in the large lecture, with theirroommate, with their professors and teaching assistants, or their load of courses. These personaltransitions can consume a first year student’s thoughts if they are unable to seriously focus onwhy the university experience is important to their career goals.

forging of commitment to values,careers, relationships, and personal identity. Drawing on Piaget’s theory, Perry hypothesized thatshifts or changes from one position or category to another are brought on by disequilibrium or astate of flux. Interactions with the environment present the individual with an opportunity toassimilate the new information into their existing cognitive framework or accommodate theentire framework itself. Perry’s work established a baseline for subsequent research studies torefine and extend Perry’s developmental sequence;[15-19] unfortunately, very little agreementregarding the stages has ever been achieved across studies.Schommer [19] approached the task from a different angle by challenging the notion

Page 24.830.2Andragogy, Self-Directed Learning, and HeutagogyAndragogy is a theory that holds a set of assumptions about how adults learn. Accordingto American Council on Education, adult learners are learners over the age 25 and oftenreferred to as non-traditional learners. These individuals usually have additionalresponsibilities such as family, career, military or community and are seeking a degree oreducational offering to enhance their professional or personal lives (American Council onEducation, n.d.)[1].

Whether or not they learn the material better, this method provides them additionalopportunities to practice assessing their own abilities, which is a practical skill that is oftenoverlooked in engineering education.AcknowledgmentsThe author thanks Gigi Yuen-Reed, Ismet Handzic, and Samuel McAmis for their insights andfeedback.References1.

part of a larger investigation on the impacts of diversity harnessing in ECE 10111.Diversity harnessing refers to the process of incorporating current students’ personal interests,educational backgrounds, and career interests into the content of ECE 101 as it runs during thesemester. The semi-structured interviews presented in this paper were conducted as a baselineassessment of students’ outcomes of ECE 101. The students interviewed took ECE 101 beforediversity harnessing was implemented in the fall of 2011. Starting in the spring of 2012, we planto conduct longitudinal interviews with students who took the course after diversity harnessingwas implemented.AcknowledgementsThis work is supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant

. I am an early-career mechanical engineeringprofessor, and prior to participating on this project, my classes consisted of entirely lecture-basedteaching. Now, even when a course does not have a “lab-period”, I will take time out of lecturesto run MEAs or other group-based learning exercises. I recognize that I will not be able to coveras much material in class, but instead my students are achieving greater depth of learning on keyconcepts. Model-Eliciting Activities enhance my ability to convey difficult concepts to studentsand have provided an invaluable tool for identifying misconceptions in understanding. On apersonal level, it has been extremely rewarding to observe improved understanding offundamental concepts that results from

But only in a few cases have any steps used to create the rubric been described. Ourreview has indicated that none of these rubrics has been based on executiveinput, as ours is. Building on this foundation results in a rubric very relevant to engineeringstudents in becoming successful in their first jobs and as they ascend the career ladder.
