The focus of this work-in-progress is tobetter understand how these factors manifest in the micro-level interactions that take place withinan engineering curriculum as part of an engineering design process. In this case, we areinterested in how gender composition might affect the ways engineering teams engage in andtalk during brainstorming activities.To do so, we developed an exploratory, mixed-methods study to examine potential factors thatmight influence ideation effectiveness for engineering teams. The present work is focused on ourqualitative codebook development related to the ways power manifests in conversation duringbrainstorming.Engineering Design Processes and Conceptual DesignThe engineering

] - [13]. Mentoring is notlimited to faculty-student interactions. An early study by Good [14] indicated that freshmenneeded networking with upperclassmen to ease the transition from high school to university.Clark et al. [15] attributed peer relationships as a key factor in the success of student satisfaction,integration and retention in higher education. Peer mentoring can build a community of supportfor the mentee (i.e., freshmen) while enhancing the teamwork, instruction and communicationskills of the mentor (i.e., senior) [10]. When mentoring is from someone that is close in age andposition, it can also provide encouragement and social support [11]. Social support from mentorsand other women in STEM increased women’s persistence in STEM [16

Steele signed legislation providing for the establishment of anagricultural and mechanical college as well as an agricultural experiment station in PayneCounty, Oklahoma Territory, effective December 25, 1890 [5]. At long last, Stillwater wasdesignated as the location for the college by the designated commission. On May 15, 1957,Oklahoma A&M changed its name Oklahoma State University of Agricultural and AppliedSciences to reflect the broadening scope of curriculum offered. However, the name was quicklyshortened to Oklahoma State University for most purposes, and the "Agricultural & AppliedSciences" name was formally dropped in

Inresponse to the appeal, many engineering school deans recognized that one solution was toimprove the retention rate of engineering students,3 specifically first-year retention, which at thetime was reported to be around

Afterstudents in the experiment group completed two projects with additional feedback on their testcases, they completed a final project without the additional feedback. Despite not receivingadditional feedback, their test cases were of higher quality, exposing on average 5% more buggysolutions than students from the control group. We found this difference to be statisticallysignificant after controlling for GPA and whether students worked alone or with a partner.2 IntroductionTesting is an integral part of software development that

These includestudents who have courses that may satisfy some courses in our curriculum, particularly theintroductory programming courses (Python, R, Object Oriented Programming). This hasmotivated us to develop a course equivalency list which benefits the students and our academicadvisors.More on these topics in the next sections.Program

individual student and the institution. At the institutional level it is understoodas a mechanism that contributes to reducing attrition rates and enhancing recruitment plans butthere is a scarcity of empirical research related to PhD programs to understand this phenomenon.Contemporarily, Di Pierro [15] conceptualized doctoral mentoring as part of an institution’spragmatic retention plan to counter economic losses, potential loss in Carnegie classification, andvoids in research. Thus, mentoring should not be thought of as a disjointed obscure process, butone that is integrated and benchmarked as part of an institution’s best practices particularly forunderrepresented populations. For individual students mentoring often times is described as akey
early sciencefiction that cautions against misguided and unethical science and engineering. As such, the novelshould be poised to help engineering undergraduates cultivate moral imagination and acommitment to socially responsible techno-science. However, despite recent critical editions ofthe novel that highlight its relevance for scientists and engineers, some instructors have faceddifficulties successfully integrating the novel into an undergraduate engineering curriculum, andstudents have struggled to appreciate its value to their ethical formation as engineeringprofessionals. Nevertheless, the novel’s potential to address ethical aspects of engineeringpractice calls for further attempts at integrating it into engineering education. In

theycan meet the energy demand of a growing population for both the short-term (5 years) andlong-term (100 years). In their analysis, the students first consider providing power throughlocally available natural gas and coal which has an expected finite lifetime based on the Hubbertcurve for coal and natural gas extraction. The first plan then for energy is to potentially use thesefossil fuel resources in conventional combustion power plants that follow thermodynamicscycles such as the Rankine, Brayton and Combined Cycles. The students are given specificationsfor existing power plants and are allowed to refurbish and or retrofit the components to predictenergy production. Their simulation analysis is done with a series of MATLAB® codes that
development [17]Nonetheless, while innovation may be an indirect benefit of myriad engineering curricularefforts, instruction may be framed in such a way as to encourage [17] (or discourage [18,19])students’ development of innovative behaviors. Some scholars have emphasized innovation as adesirable outcome of instruction or learning environments [20,21], others as the demonstration ofcertain abilities [22], and yet others as appropriate conceptualizations [23]. As researchers, wemight ask how goals directed towards these distinct ends vary in terms of outcomes. It might bethat the ideal modality involves the integration of multiple efforts, as studies of expert innovatorssuggest that they demonstrate and deploy a variety of approaches and mindsets

interpreting the regression coefficients, we achieve our secondresearch goal to suggest specific improvements that instructors can use to give their students morefailure opportunities during PBL.1 IntroductionABET’s Criterion 5 requires engineering programs to provide all undergraduate students a majordesign experience that entails technical knowledge and skills acquired through the curriculum andincorporates realistic standards and constraints. The major design experience mentioned in thecriterion is an example of project-based learning (PBL): the theory and practice of using real-worldprojects that have time restrictions to achieve specific objectives and to facilitate individual andcollective learning [1]. PBL is a learner-centered approach that
