Engineering as Lifestyle and a Meritocracy of Difficulty: Two pervasive beliefs among engineering students and their possible effectsIn this paper we discuss a series of narratives collected from ethnographic interviews withengineering students concerning questions about what they wish to be an engineer. Our paperreports on two related beliefs that we have found among engineering undergraduates, mostcommonly in their first two years of four-year programs. These are: engineering as a lifestyleand a meritocracy of difficulty. Engineering as a lifestyle refers to the anticipated comfortablelife that students expect from their careers as engineers. In terms of a meritocracy of difficultywe are referring to how

must consider that since students are typicallyenrolled in the IEP program for one or two semesters prior to beginning pursuit of anundergraduate degree, the time required to earn this degree is substantially lengthened for thosewho spend time refining their English language ability prior to achieving degree-seeking status.This lengthening of the amount of time required to earn a degree may lead students to become‘academically exhausted’ toward the end of their academic careers, and thus less willing toinvest the time and interest required to obtain higher grades.

Finally, the third course in the senior design sequence consists of the construction,testing and optimization of the proposed design.

For the group responses, we did not askstudents to record the gender, race, or major make-up of their small group. Going forward, wewould like to capture this information in order to see how the diversity of the small groupsimpacts the discussion.

important consideration in course structure. Although these skills are critical for a successful career in engineering, they are often not explicitly included in lecture based course outcomes. Student ability and learning in these areas is also not typically assessed, likely due to the lack of metrics available to evaluate this type of learning. We have therefore introduced a weekly reflection, including both multiple choice and free response questions, into the course structure. The importance of reflection on teaching and learning has been well documented (Boud, Keogh, & Walker; Brookfield, 1990; Dewey, 1993, King & Kitchener, 1994; Schön, 1983). Providing students with opportunities to reflect on their learning helps them

program because in this framework students are led to view the coursecontents as unconnected pieces. Thus, students lack the understanding of how theseunconnected course materials build on each other to form the core knowledge expected of acompetent electrical engineer. This lack of understanding manifests itself in low studentmotivation, interest, and knowledge regarding the discipline. Furthermore, it results in studentsperceiving a lack of value and career opportunities relative to the amount of effort required togo through the program [1]-[4]. As a result, attrition rates in engineering departments havebeen higher than expected. For example, the number of American students earning bachelor’sdegrees increased by 16% over the past 10 years

influence of students’ individual characteristics(e.g., personality, prior knowledge, values, motivations) on their interpretation of theirexperiences and subsequent understanding or perspective shifts [8]. Further, student decisions toengage in global activities after returning from a global experience can increase the long-terminfluence of the global program on their attitudes and career plans [9]. These studies suggest thatalthough the structure and components of global programs can influence program outcomes,there can still be different pathways for students who have the same experience. As argued byStreitwieser and Light, global education research has often focused only on aggregate programoutcomes and not individual student experiences, but

. However, some items still needed to be cut, as thegoal of piloting these two surveys was to shorten them and combine them in to one. As a result,we looked back to interview data gathered previously [11] and determined that the best items tocut were 'My family sees me as a SCIENTIST' and 'Others ask me for help with SCIENCE'. Thefirst was cut due to statements from students that, as they became increasingly specialized intheir graduate careers, their families were less familiar with the work they were doing and theylooked to them less often for recognition and approval. The second was cut to maximizeparsimony, as it potentially conflated 'recognition' with 'performance/competence' and there wasalready an adequate number of 'recognition
