Following, that areresults from the thematic analysis, followed by a concluding discussion in Section 5.2 Literature ReviewThe Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) is the theoretical framework for this paper. TPB was ini-tially introduced by Ajzen [15] in 1991 and has been supported with empirical evidence since then.The theory says planned behaviors, such as starting a new venture, are intentional and thereforebest predicted by intentions towards the behavior, not by demographics, personality, beliefs, or atti-tudes [15]. TPB is also an important cognitive process model for the evaluation of EntrepreneurialIntention as the model describes the complexity of the relationship between human behavior andrelevant

It is a good taste of what projects will be like in the future of college and I liked the responsibility to set my own deadlines and get things done on time.” At the end of each semester, we give the students a chance to provide feedback toimprove the final escape room project for the following year. Over the course of the project, 54%(N = 82) of students volunteered constructive feedback. The two major requests from studentswere to 1) increase the number of responsibilities in the projects and 2) to enable the committeesto better plan or organize their pieces of the project. In response to these requests, in second yearof implementing this theme, we added a ‘waiting room
. One leadership and advising office manages the MDE and IDES programs; however, theprograms are administered as two separate entities. Students who pursue an interdisciplinaryengineering studies education (IDES) do not plan to practice engineering, while themultidisciplinary engineering program (MDE) is ABET accredited and provides students with aneducation that supports an engineering career by combining multiple disciplines to solve theirproblems of interests.ParticipantsWe used purposeful sampling to recruit participants for this pilot study. To be broadly eligible forparticipation, students had to be currently enrolled in either the interdisciplinary engineeringstudies (IDES) (n=1) or multidisciplinary engineering (MDE) (n=6) program. To
a reason, but others viewed theirengineering degrees as a “back-up” in case other plans failed [7].Because of the disconnect between students studying engineering and choosing career pathsoutside of engineering, major selection is not necessarily a perfect predictor of career choice andthe terms should not be used synonymously. Major selection is the decision of what to study at acollege or university; for example, chemical engineering. Career choice is the field in which arecent graduate decides to work upon graduation; for example, paper processing and production.In this example, the student’s major selection and career choice are in a common field:engineering. However, if the student had decided to pursue medical school or work in

industry is well established and active in all sectors ofconstruction. Most construction managers have attended training to receive their 10-hour or 30-hour safety cards. Few programs exist in higher education where students receive a safety card,but the number of programs providing students with a safety card upon course completion isgrowing. At Mississippi State University, students in the Building Construction Science programobtain their 30-hour construction safety card in the third year program curriculum. Studentslearn about federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) construction safetyrequirements. They also write site specific safety plans to meet accreditation requirementsthrough the American Council on Construction

For brevity, the rubric for step 1 (studentengagement) and step 4 (planning) is indicated in Table 1 and 2 in Appendix 1.

The common misconception is that finance students are only studying to learn about markets and how to manage personal finances. However, finance students focus on much more than that. They carry an innate ability to understand budgets, interpret meaning from these budgets, and make important decisions that are in the best interest of the financial wellbeing of all of those involved.

Theoverall impact of the program will be understood at the end of the program and moreprominently, after several years from now by tracking the students’ advancement in high schoolto see whether they are progressing towards taking college admission in engineering/technologyareas.After the grant period is over, the team plans to institutionalize the

Bridge students wereless prepared than comparison students on number of high school calculus AP (or equivalent)credits received. We analyzed group differences in final class grades from 2012-2017 among thecomparison group, the bridge group, and the rest of the class (i.e. non-comparison and non-bridge), standardizing grades using Z-scores. Planned contrasts found that bridge studentsperformed slightly better than, but not significantly different from, comparison students in first-semester math. Conversely, planned contrasts found that the bridge group significantlyoutperformed the comparison group in second-semester math. These results suggest that bridgeprogram

Specifically, the development process contained the followingphases: • Determine faculty goals and objectives; analysis of potential students (students, who take the course are freshmen and do not have prior knowledge in the field of mechanism kinematics, design and its applications); • Determine faculty role in the learning process and develop an instructional plan; • Identify other faculty interested in collaborative research and education activities across disciplines; • Design cross-disciplinary

While most of our graduates plan to enter the local job market followinggraduation, an increasing number are going on to earn master’s and PhD degrees. With nograduate degree in our ME program, service learning projects provide a good opportunity forboth faculty and students to engage in scholarly work and service activities. These types ofprojects are particularly well-suited for our program, as our students are often very hands-on andenjoy working on practical solutions within their community.The focus of this project is building 3D printed prosthetic hands and arms for children in need.The impetus was a one-off project in which a nearby elementary school teacher who

These programs follow an “Introduce, Reinforce, Master” curriculum mapas part of the assessment plan where each student learning outcome (SLO) is assessed in at leastthree courses of different levels, so that each SLO is assessed at each of the three levels(introduced, reinforced, and mastered). We seek to effectively assess, at the introductory level,the proposed ANSAC SLO (2) and the new EAC SLO (2) with a single project and rubric in ourintroductory physics courses. The primary difference between the SLO (2) from the twocommissions is that the EAC is more specific in that students must apply “engineering
