measurement of engineering identity was accomplished using an adapted version of Godwinet al.’s (2016) measure of identity. Godwin et al. concludes that an engineering student’sengineering identity is a function of four attitudes relating to interest, performance, recognitionand agency. Interest is the student’s innate attraction to the subject material surroundingengineering, such as math, science and physics. Performance is an academic self-efficacyconstruct measuring how much a student believes in their ability to positively perform inacademically in engineering coursework. Recognition is how a student believes they arerecognized as an engineer, particularly by meaningful others such as parents or professors.Finally, agency or as Godwin et al

practical projects.Since the publication of those documents, very little has happened in terms of concrete solutions,mainly due to the large number of bureaucratic hurdles and the amount of effort required toimplement the proposed changes. Meanwhile the economy is still increasingly demanding morequalified engineers both for industry and nowadays for so called technological entrepreneurship,which happens when a technological idea is combined with a business opportunity, a way tomarket it and escalate its growth. To support this process, resources in the form of capital andtalent are paramount. Among the talents necessary is engineering, which has been one of its mostimportant driver3.Implementing a new curriculum to develop the student´s abilities
hisor her research abilities. For example, while a student in Category 1’s reliance on authority andconcrete rules might be less sophisticated than a more self-directed, self-assured approachevident in Category 3, learning from experts in the field and developing a familiarity withfoundational knowledge and skills in engineering is a key step in being able to progress as anindependent engineering researcher. Though students’ responses at a particular point in time maybe best represented by one category, it is possible and likely that students’ level of researchprocess sophistication will change over time as a result of their experiences.Though our process for classifying graduate engineering students’ research processsophistication was an

Theglobal theme was found to be particularly strong within U.S. programs: the ability to workeffectively across cultures in an international sphere was seen by many as an increasingly vitalattribute of an engineer-leader, and is reflected in many of the programs. Another strong themewas student empowerment in their own leadership

The work from Howe, which can be found in the ASEE database, is more recentand relevant to this work. In 2015 Howe did both a qualitative and quantitative analysis ofsurvey results from 256 ABET accredited institutions executing Capstone projects in 464 distinctdepartments for a total of 522 respondents. This work looked at many aspects of the Capstoneexperience. One interesting reported observation was how various programs and institutionsvalued “process vs. product” in the final outcomes of a Capstone experience.

In other words, if a teacher can develop students’ 21st-century skills, the students are more likely to be successful in STEM fields in the future.RQ2: How situational are teachers’ subjective theories of troublemaking behaviorand troublemakers? According to participants, “being defiant” is an all-agreed troublemaking behavior.This indication was supported by P2’s perceptions that students now have more behaviorissues, and that teachers are losing respect from students or parents.

instructors might want toemphasize the importance of breaking down concepts as students learn them, asking questions,and/or make sure to acknowledge the hard work and time their students are putting into learningnew concepts. This might provide students with positive feelings or attitude when learning aconcept. On the other hand, when it comes to participants P1 and P2’s intrinsic feelings aboutbeing excited to learn, it is unclear how to make other students feel the same way. However, P1’snote about appreciating when instructors engage students more frequently during class may be ashort-term way to keep students engaged. Although this is not an intrinsic desire to learn, it mayhelp keep students more involved in the learning process, and this may

spring and didn’t have a summer camp [14]. Within the engineering sector, summer camps have shown to provide an outlet for children ofvarying age levels, racial, and ethnic backgrounds, with similar interests, to interact with one another [15].This is particularly important as studies have shown that with engineering awareness certain children groupsneed more exposure to the topic. Within those who do enter engineering, white female, African American,Latino, and Native American high school students traditionally have had little encouragement in pursuingcareers related to these subjects [17-18]. Given early 2000’s work, there has been an increase in women’srepresentation in all STEM fields, yet they remain significantly underrepresented
