(e.g., control of dynamicsystems, mass transfer). In this logic, students spend the majority of their time learning a longsequence of engineering “fundamentals” before they are deemed competent to engage in creativedesign problem solving in their final-year capstone projects.3 This approach is understood as“exclusionary” not in the sense of being elitist but in the more general sense of seeking to keepout that which does not belong, including those persons (or those facets of persons) not in linewith the dominant decontextualized, narrowly technical-analytic way of problem solving withinengineering. Lectures and focused problem sets remain the mainstay educational modalitieswithin university engineering education, even as wide-ranging

He joined the institution in2011 after nearly fifteen years in the electronics industry.The course draws a lot of comparisons to our two-semester senior design sequence. However,there are significant differences between ECE490 and our capstone design classes. First, unlikesenior design, ECE490 has a single course objective: Students will be able to apply theengineering design process. Second, it is a truly multi-disciplinary class, and in ECE490engineers of all majors (bio, civil, computer, electrical, and mechanical) work on multi-disciplinary teams developing solutions to real world problems.One of the most significant differences between ECE490 and the senior design sequence is

The most popular courses (as reported in Table 8)among the survey respondents were structural analysis and earthquake engineering. Senior(capstone/integrated) design, finite element analysis and foundation engineering were given thelowest ratings. The finding that capstone design was unpopular was somewhat surprising, but thesurvey questions did not allow us to uncover reasons behind these responses.Table 8. Respondents’ ratings

ranging from the curriculum requirements of non-engineering courses andengineering capstone projects to the need for engineering instructors to be less negative and moreinformed about the best way to create equitable team projects and articulate their outcomes. Oneof the key recommendations was that students saw the need for and welcomed more suchopportunities to vocalize their concerns and collaborate together in a safe space. It was evidentthat the peer-facilitators were clearly able to convey the goals of the FGs and encourage an open-conversation.3.3 Data Analysis of Open-Ended Questions on Surveys of FG Participants and PeerFacilitators3.3.1 Survey One: Evaluations of the FGs by Student Participants and Peer Facilitators Immediately

MUSE includes academic seminars on a variety ofsubjects that help the freshmen students gain skills that are necessary to academic success. Inaddition, all MUSE classes are certified in one of SJSU’s General Education areas. Therefore,students taking the MUSE seminars receive three units of General Education credit.

Of all ofthese, however, grades seemed to be what most students thought was given the greatest weight inthe decision about their futures in engineering. This is not surprising, given that much of the Page 12.428.9assessments given by advisors relied heavily upon GPA. The other things, like activities played asupporting role. They were things used to bolster or prop up one’s chances, if one’s GPA was notbelieved to be strong enough.The students who were most confident in their chances, like Joe and Renee, talked very little, ifat all
