The survey questions used for assessing their impression is presented in table 1below. Questions 1, 3, and 6 were focused on their perception of the activity on their career.Questions 11, 10, 9, and 7 were skill development questions, and questions 12, 8, 5, 4, and 2were topic engagement questions.

Average scores for each theme identified in Table 1 and changes inself-reported scores from the pre-internship to post-internship survey were determined. A pairedt-test was performed to determine statistical significance from pre to post internship (p<0.05). Theme Question 1. Attitude towards Q.

engineering students. The first objective of this study is to explore theengineering epistemological beliefs among students in introductory engineering courses, using aunique methodological approach, Q methodology. The second objective is to examine whethersuch epistemological beliefs are related to student academic outcomes among first yearengineering students.This study focuses on students in introductory engineering courses for two reasons. First,introductory STEM (including engineering) courses are often large, posing difficulties forinstructors and students to closely examine and discuss concepts and knowledge covered in thecourses. Students’ epistemological views in these courses can be potentially used to relate tostudents’ course performances
expansion of the content itself. Many educators argue that authentic engineering unknown in the field of engineering education research: The Q-methodology. The Q-methodology tasks and prepare students for engineering in the 21st century. Co-operative education (co-op) can is a quantitative analysis approach that is intended to systematically measure and document provide such experiences. Studies have shown that students who have participated in co-op perspectives or viewpoints. Twenty-five students will first sort a set of subjective statements related programs

For survey question # 1, senior-level ME 440 students were asked: “Of all the engineering classes that you have taken at thisuniversity, which do you feel was best at helping you with your technical writing skills? Brieflydescribe why you selected this course.” Survey question # 2 followed up by asking students tothen specify their choice of second best course which fit this criteria. Table 1 summarizes theanswers to Question # 1 (Q#1) and Question # 2 (Q#2), by tallying all of the courses mentioned,whether by course code, explicit course title or some combination of each.Table 1: Student responses to 5 point Likert-scale

The following showsthe survey questions and the students’ responses: 1. Q: The project was interesting? Student Response: Likert Scale 6.3/7.0 2. Q: The level of complexity of the assignment was adequate for this course? Student Response: Likert Scale 6.1/7.0 3. Q: You feel that this assignment should be included in this course for future students? Student Response: Likert Scale 6.3/7.0 4. Q: What changes would you make to the assignment?

and rThis topic introduces students to sequential circuits, typically covered during the first half of thesemester. An SR latch is the simplest circuit that stores 1-bit. A timing diagram is a commonway to analyze the inputs and outputs of such a circuit. The objective of this activity is tofamiliarize the students with the workings of an SR latch. This is done with a timing diagram asin Figure 2. This activity has two levels of progression with equal difficulty. Each level presentsa randomly-generated combinations of s and r, and the student needs to input the corresponding qfor each combination of s and r, as in Figure 2(a). Clicking a square in q toggles between 1 and 0values. When a student submits, the activity compares the student's q
