c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019The Motivations of STEM MentorsIntroductionSchool-Based mentoring (SBM) currently is the most widely available and fastest-growing formof mentoring in the United States [1]. One challenge limiting mentoring programs is their abilityto attract and retain mentors. Why mentors decide to become involved and the conditions underwhich they persist as mentors are questions that require robust answers due to the importance ofcultivating deep relationships between mentors and mentees in order to obtain positive results[2], [3], [4]. While we know some demographics about individuals who mentor, we know lessabout why mentors decide to become mentors and why they persist. Existing research points

IntroductionThose who have a relationship of use with design solutions – defined as “users” – play animportant role in engineering design projects [1]. The use of any technology is defined by thosewho use that technology [2]–[7], and user acceptance strongly influences which technologiesbecome widely adopted [7]–[10]. Designers may interact with users for a number of reasons,such as to elicit user requirements or to solicit

Many potential pitfalls have beenidentified in the literature and resonate with us from our combined >20 years of teaching a team-based first year engineering course, including inequitable task allocation [2-4] and inequitablegroup conversational dynamics [5,6].To minimize students’ negative experiences with teamwork, faculty should critically considerhow they choose to support teams. Many factors necessarily impact that decision, including classsize, team size, and student level. There are a

, assessment methods related to these outcomes that rely onLikert-type responses or structured assignments may be susceptible to social desirability orpositive response bias. When prompted, students will normally agree that ethics are importantand can select the correct answer for simple ESI questions. But what do engineering andcomputing students quickly draw to mind in relation to ESI? To explore this, students were askedto respond to two open-ended survey questions: (1) How do you view your role in society as anengineer or computer scientist? (2) List the ethical issues that you think are relevant to engineersand/or computer scientists. It was of interest to determine if student responses would vary fromthe beginning to the end of a term or across

With this increased prominence of engineering as a K-12discipline, education researchers have begun to explore the outcomes of engineering educationin the context of K-12 schools.

A seminal report published by the National Research Council in 1999, HowPeople Learn: Brain, Mind, Experience and School [2], includes a call for a university culturewhere a deep understanding of how students learn determines both the content of thecurriculum and how it is taught.
