well as temporally influenced.Additionally, the concept of future self has been developed specifically in the context of theworkplace as the future work self: this type of future self is “explicitly future focused, positive,and specific to work” [16]. Because it is framed from a positive perspective, a future work selfcan begin a feedback loop of career exploration and adaptation leading to positive reinforcementof the future work self [16], [17]. A salient future work self grows from realism and vividness[16], like the more general future self. The concept of future work selves was initially researchedwithin the workplace, and it was found that observation of role models can help strengthen thesalience of a future work self [16], but the

It also promotes three key graduate attributes required of allCanadian engineering students: communication, teamwork, and leadership [3].

in the field of education analytics have identified student grade point averages (GPA)as an important indicator and predictor of students’ final academic outcomes (graduate or halt).And while semester-to-semester fluctuations in GPA are considered normal, significant changes inacademic performance may warrant more thorough investigation and consideration, particularlywith regards to final academic outcomes. However, such an approach is challenging due to thedifficulties of representing complex academic trajectories over an academic career. In this study,we apply a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) to provide a standard and intuitive classification overstudents’ academic-performance levels, which leads to a compact representation ofacademic-performance

The highest average was for question number 2 (Q2) in the effectivenessdimension which pertained to completing all the activities of the lesson. The lowest average(closest to a neutral response) was for Q7 in the effectiveness dimension which was about thesense of presence. This result was expected as the lessons were not experienced in an immersiveenvironment. The average of responses to Q8 of the impact dimension which pertained to theimpact of VR lessons on interest in a STEM-related career was the largest. The average for theimpact dimension was the highest at 4.08 compared to the other three dimensions.The averages of responses by the students of AENG 242 are given in

invite engineering educators to carefullyexamine how temporality might matter when considering the connections between previouslyconducted studies with their own ongoing projects. Our survey also asked students to provide anexample of unethical behavior in engineering and possible ethical problems they anticipate intheir future careers. Finally, we asked students to list three most important values for defining agood engineer. Such a question on professional ethical values responds to a gap in theengineering ethics literature, namely, that engineering students’ perceptions of professionalvirtues and values are not sufficiently addressed (especially among first-year students). Thispaper is part of a larger project that compares how students

for thejob market [11]. For this reason, education during these years is very important [1, 2]. However, as in otherlevels of their educational careers, due to a lack of motivation students sometimes fail to achieveadequate learning/program outcomes [1].In a study by Smilkstein [5], a group of college students was asked to list the stages of thelearning process. The students developed a six-step process, with the number one step beingmotivation. Motivation was considered to be the necessary foundation on which the other stepsfollow and build [1, 10]. Student motivation translates to the students' willingness to participatein the learning process. But it also concerns the reasons or goals that underlie their involvementor non-involvement in

One studyin the field of engineering has shown that participation in a rigorous engineering course led to asignificant increase in spatial ability [6]. One of the long-lasting benefits of enhancing spatialability, as a student, is the positive correlation it is seen to have on success as a professional inSTEM fields. Research has shown that a majority of students who demonstrated high levels ofspatial thinking in high school and college went on to lead successful careers in various STEMdisciplines [7
