It was a good feeling to be able tooffer him advice about college, and the path of engineering. This experience, truly made me feellike a mentor.”“For me, if just one [high school] student is inspired to pursue college and some sort of STEMdegree, it would be amazing. Getting to see their excitement in competing has been the mostrewarding experience I have had as a mentor so far.”Improved youth robotics team competition performance demonstrates effectiveness of theuniversity mentors.

In order to take advantage of the benefits of TBL for students, the authors experimentedwith implementing several aspects of TBL in a junior level “Introduction to TransportationEngineering” course. We hypothesized that a shift to TBL would improve individualperformance and learning in the course.Course Description: Introduction to Transportation Engineering is an introductory course intraffic engineering covering vehicle dynamics, geometric design, traffic flow concepts

specific genres is considering audience [25];often, students think only of the teacher or instructor as the audience because they have not beenasked to write for an authentic audience in schools settings. This is especially true for technicalreport writing in engineering laboratory assignments, where students tend to not perceivesituations in which an audience might exist [26]. Instead, they tend to write as a means to justifythat they followed their laboratory and technical processes accurately, with an audience (i.e., aninstructor) in mind who has sufficient expertise to judge this.Although a common place to focus on writing in engineering has been short and long reports inlaboratory courses [20, 23, 26-30], others argue for a broader

The definition of self-efficacy was given to students, and they weresubsequently asked if this course contributed to their sense of engineering self-efficacy. Onehundred percent of students said that the course contributed positively to their self-efficacy as itincreased their confidence in their engineering abilities, they gained key technical skills that theycan apply to future coursework, and it provided the real-world engineering experience that theyhoped to gain.

Weintended to build upon the ability of millennials to interact with information from a wide range ofsources that is available digitally and introduce them to the professional dogma of both the Armyand environmental engineering. The intent of our course is to leverage their strengths to furtherdevelop cadets’ “higher-order” thinking through the correct application of “mind models”, withinthe engineering process [9]. This higher level thinking is both doctrinal [12] and pedagogical [9]in nature. Using the doctrinal framework as a critical thinking tool combined with creativethinking and engineering design principles, we teach students to apply “practical thinking

Scholars have argued thatpreparing engineering majors to develop a design thinking mindset is a promising approach toaddress better preparation of engineering students for their future professions and call for allengineering faculty to “incorporate those habits of mind and the tools of design thinking into allparts of the engineering curriculum” [1].

et. al. (1994) [27] have found that 3D solid modeling systems help enhance spatialvisualization skills in engineering graphics students. Other research involving youth aged 11 to15 has shown that the process of 3D modeling helps develop spatial awareness skills [4]. Thespatial abilities include perception of objects from different angles, mental construction andmaintenance of visuals, and rotation and changing of shapes in the mind [15], [16]. Many of themost powerful 3D modeling tools are difficult for new learners to approach due to issues likeconfusing terminology and having to deal with complex geometries. Tools like Tinkercadprovide a much low barrier to entry with fewer unfamiliar words and simpler geometry [5], [6].This in turn makes

The Icarus program was structured with this theoretical framework in mind. The expectation was thatthe students that participate in Icarus, positively engage with their engineering program, and with their peers, butnot to the expense of their academic coursework. Icarus emphasized the value of the alignment between theresearch project offered, and the coursework students were enrolled in. Furthermore, we expected intrinsicmotivation in the students that participated in the voluntary research projects. In addition, we hypothesizedstudents were going to develop short
