The first class also covers graduate schoolversus full-time industrial employment after graduation. The second class covers “Building aGreat Resume” and is taught by a university staff member who serves as the engineering college’sliaison at the campus’ Internship and Career Center (ICC). The timing of this lecture occurs beforethe quarterly campus career fair. In this lecture, the many resources offered by the ICC are alsohighlighted, providing a great exposure for ICC to the students. The ICC is extremely supportiveof the course, and, for the first offering of the course, two ICC employees

The course requires minimal resources but yet challengesstudents with problems that rise above high school projects, introductory college science,and helps students think like an engineer using the problem as the basis for learningmathematics and consequently mastering solution mechanisms.References: 1.

select an engineer of their choosing if it is not an immediate relative(mother/father or brother/sister). Students are encouraged to select someone in a field in whichthey are interested and are reminded this is one of the opportunities to tweak the class tosomething of their choosing. Other examples are group presentations on a company of thegroup’s choice. The presentation is to give an overview of the company and their business, thetype(s) of engineers they employ, and what roles those engineers have. The only stipulation isthat groups cannot double up (e.g. no two groups presenting on Tesla or Google).Lesson 5: Standardize credits across offeringsWith the common course code from Lesson 2 we realized we needed to standardize coursecredits

to themas long as they are UIC students.For the non-therapeutic content, the research team leaned heavily into the work being done bythe Office for Research on Student Success, particularly a tool called Non-Cognitive Profiles(Appendix). The percentages to the right reflect all students who participated in the survey. Forparticipating students, the areas of highest concern were identified as the student’s likelihood toseek help/view help-seeking as non-intimidating and the student’s confidence that s/he willbelong in college. To address the academic help-seeking, the research team attempted tonormalize interactions with professors, which can often be intimidating to new students.

longterm benefits of the design solution to the client and end users. These descriptions, justificationsand evidence are gained through thinking, in a reflective manner, about the ramifications of whatthe students are designing to solve the problem(s) presented by the project client.Research MethodologyA weekly reflective journal assignment was given to approximately 50 students during each ofour fall and spring semesters, using a template containing sixteen rows and three columns. Eachrow corresponded to a specific week in the semester. The columns contained responses to thesequestions: What did you learn? Why is it important? Where else could you use it? During eachweek, students identified a specific skill, concept or insight that they learned
major. However despite a lack of connection between their identity andengineering, some students may persist in engineering based upon factors such as the desire toearn an engineer’s salary. Students with lower academic performance have been shown to persistin engineering if they identify with the engineering major or feel as if they were getting futureusefulness or enjoyment from engineering.6,10Engineering programs across the country have varying formats and matriculation processesranging from: common course(s) for First-Year Engineering (FYE), direct admittance to anengineering discipline, or programs in which all students are initially undesignated11. Studentsenrolled in common FYE were more likely to persist to the third semester than

Be a human-centered design (report instructions include research documentation) 2. Fit within a 30-cm x 30–cm x 30-cm volume 3. Use an Arduino Uno microcontroller development board. (It must be powered and controlled by no more than 2 Arduino microprocessors.) 4. Receive input from at least one sensor (soil, humidity, sunlight, temperature, etc.) 5. Control at least one actuator based on input from the sensor(s) 6. Incorporate at least one functional 3D printed component designed using Onshape 7. Estimated print time of your 3D printed

Ifthe smooth slider has the speed shown at point A, what is the maximum distance s that it canreach?Figure 4 - Example of a Problem in Mechanics.Solving this problem requires an understanding of kinetic and potential energy and how toaccount for it in a system.Similarly consider Figure 5 showing a tank of water connected to a nozzle. Given all thedimensions, a reasonable question might be to determine the pressure at the throat of the nozzle.Again this problem requires an understanding of how to account for energy in a system. It hasdifferent forms of energy when compared to the mechanics problem but the problem

The instructors who developedthese profiles felt that it was important to showcase this range of jobs to students to help themunderstand that the skills learned while studying engineering can be useful even in what wouldbe considered a non-engineering career and that career shifts are not unusual.To compile each profile, each person whose job was featured was asked to provide as much ofthe following information as they were willing to share: 1. Name and Job Title 2. Description of employer 3. Type of engineering degree(s) 4. Description of a typical day at work 5. What type of skills are important for the job? 6.

Page 26.1461.4Instructional approaches, the flipped classroomA key aspect with respect to ENGR100’s instructional approach was the decision to implementthe flipped classroom, often referred to as “Learn before Lecture”. The professors were asked toimplement this strategy in each of their
their degree program. The UTAs will be trackedthrough their curriculum to determine if this has an impact in their advanced courses and theirfuture career paths. It is anticipated that the deeper understanding of the materials gained bybeing a UTA will entice them to take more rigorous courses as they matriculate. It is possiblethat the teaching experience may influence them to pursue an academic career at either theprimary, secondary or collegiate levels.4.

engineering majors at the start of the course, seven were determined to beknowledgeable about the major. By the end of the course, five of the seven demonstrated astrengthened interest in civil engineering with a positive interest score. The score for one of theother two students was zero, indicating that that student’s interest did not change. The studentreported an interest of 5 in civil engineering and 1’s for the other three disciplines on both initialand final surveys. The remaining student scored a -1, and although that student reported a 5 incivil engineering in both surveys, she reported an increase in interest from 3 to 4 in one of theother disciplines.Industrial EngineeringThere was only one industrial engineering major was interested and
