especially true at public institutions driven toexpand access while improving retention rates, based on performance metrics set by the state.Retention studies have been conducted for nearly every sub-population including women andmany racial and ethnic groups. Some of the work has shifted to intersectional analyses—forexample, Archer’s exploration of black male students’ resistance to “geeky” identities [10], orJohnson et al.’s study which highlights some Native American and Latina women’s preference towork as scientists within their ethnic communities as a method of balancing ethnic andengineering identities [11]. However, less work has been done on the interactions that occuracross different student cohorts. Indeed, scholars have argued that due

Theindustries distribution of respondents is shown in Figure 3. The organization ofrespondents is shown in Table 2. 58.8% units have more than 1,000 people and 14.79%have 501-1000 people, indicating that TRIZ is mainly applied in large and medium-sized units. As for the nature of the units surveyed, state-owned enterprises, privateenterprises, and research institutes account for 33.47%, 34.275,29.84

The preservice teacherswere given a template for writing lesson plans (see Appendix B), and as a class they reviewedthe template and example lessons prior to writing their first lesson.The lesson plan format used in this course began with the aim of the lesson, or what thepreservice teachers will be teaching about, a lesson standard, and the lesson question(s), of whichthe students will be able to answer by the end of the lesson. Following this, the preserviceteachers described the learning objectives (what students will be able to do) and the assessmentfor each objective.

Working closely with afaculty advisor provided relatedness as well as the opportunity for identity development. Theseimprovements satisfied all of Kajfez’s requirements to progress towards an engineering future self.This experience thus paved the way towards an improved professional identity for the author. Thecritical factors that led to these improvements were the revision of an inflated self-concept, theidentification of gaps in engineering knowledge, and the development of a more refinedengineering identity.References [1] S.

know you well. Determine application deadlines for schools where you are interested in applying. Draft application statement(s).Most graduate programs in engineering expect that you will apply 9-12 months in advance of thesemester in which you wish to begin graduate school. Thus, during the fall term of your finalyear of undergraduate studies, you should complete the following tasks: Narrow your list of places to apply; generally 3-8 completed applications is a good goal. Ideally, you will apply to a range of schools (size, location, ranking, etc.) where you can make a strong case that you are a good investment and “fit” for their program.

-care. The advice provided by online students in 2020 introduced a new concept to thetheme of time management, the idea of attending online class at its “scheduled” time. For classesbeing administered synchronously, student advice indicates that students should attend class atthe time scheduled by the university, regardless of whether the session will be recorded andavailable to view later. For asynchronous courses, where lectures are pre-recorded, onlinestudents should schedule time(s) each week to watch the recordings, supporting advice offeredby unsuccessful online learners.6 In traditional in-person learning environments, a student’s classschedule is dictated by the available course offerings and their associated times.
