Dominion University c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Advancing the Engineering Field: Opportunities to Support Transfer StudentsAbstract: Advancements in technology have made it vital that technicians advance their skills tostay current and competitive in the job market. Many technicians choose to transfer tobaccalaureate programs in engineering and other STEM fields in order to advance their skills. Asa result, engineering programs usually have a large population of transfer students. Many oftransfer students are studying while employed in the field and some juggle a career and familywhile advancing their education. Accordingly, transfer students

Discerning Advanced Manufacturing Education Pathways: Insights from Rural Northwest Florida’s Program Origin StoriesAbstractSchool-to-career pathways not only represent a student’s journey, but they also represent theeducational program context; to understand the pathway, one must understand the geographic,political, and social conditions that led to the program’s creation. To determine the kinds ofpathways advanced manufacturing (AM) programs in rural Northwest Florida community andstate colleges enabled for their students, we interviewed faculty and administrators about theirAM programs’ historical emergence. In this paper, we present five detailed AM program “originstories,” using a multiple case study methodology. These origin stories

Modern theories of motivation have been developed basedon beliefs, engagement, control, attribution, values, interest, goal-driven, and achievement-related choices [13]. Such theories have taken various approaches to understanding individuals’motivation.Expectancy-value theory of achievement motivationCurrently, the expectancy-value theory of motivation is one of the most used motivationalmodels to study students’ career choices in engineering [14]. Expectancy-value theory (Eccles etal., 1983) is considered the most influential theory for explaining students’ learning behavior andachievement-related choices [15]. The theory indicates that the students’ task choice and level ofengagement are driven by
