for Engineering Education, 2020Work in Progress: Openness, Conscientiousness, Self-Direction, and Mindset in First- Year Engineering StudentsIntroductionStarting in 2004, the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Western MichiganUniversity (WMU) began placing most incoming first-year students into cohorts based on theirpreferred major. Students placing into at least Pre-Calculus as their first math class aredesignated as ‘Pre-Mechanical’, ‘Pre-Electrical’, etc. After successfully completing 1.5-2 yearsof foundational coursework, the ‘Pre-’ is removed and they can take upper-level courses in theirmajor. First-year students who wish to major in engineering, engineering technology, orcomputer science but who
lower level of math preparation, available researchin the literature as well as our own internal data (mentioned above) shows that they arestatistically less likely to be retained in engineering, technology, and computer science programs.Previous research has shown the potential impact of focused tutoring interventions on first-yearengineering student success [e.g., 4-8]. Drop-in tutoring has previously been available atmultiple SSCs including one in a residence hall with a large first-year engineering population(open in the evenings) and one in the main engineering building (open during the day).However, usage of these SSC locations by students in ENGR 2100 has tended to be low. Tomake the tutoring more intrusive, time has been specifically

. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 An Exploration of Identity Development in a High School Maker ClassMaking and the maker movement have garnered attention among engineering educators as apotentially promising context for the development of design and engineering skills. Making canbe defined as “a class of activities focused on designing, building, modifying, and/or repurposingmaterial objects, for playful or useful ends, oriented toward making a ‘product’ of some sort thatcan be used, interacted with, or demonstrated” 1 (p. 31). Maker projects often involve thecombination of traditional hobbies, such as sewing or woodworking, with digital technologies,such as microcontrollers
Engineering Education, 2016 Preparing Engineering Students to Work on Taboo Topics in the Service of CommunitiesIntroductionAccording to the WHO, 2.4 billion people lack access to proper sanitation resources.1 Faced witha growing problem, engineers, locally and internationally, have responded to this crisis throughavenues such as the Gates Reinvent the Toilet Challenge. In the case of the Toilet Challenge,engineers were able to create what were seen as “practical” toilets that convert waste into energy.However, each toilet cost upwards of $1000 and required infrastructure and technology notavailable in their target communities, thus presenting a huge drawback in fighting the sanitationstigma.2 There is much to learn

This study will significantly advance higher education's effortsespecially HBCUs to provide a more inclusive and effective learning environment.IntroductionHistorically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) are essential to the effort to promotediversity and inclusivity in higher education. These establishments have played a pivotal role inadvocating for active learning pedagogy, an innovative methodology that places learners at thecore of their educational journey.

For the specific focus onengineering undergraduate education in this paper, we refined our criteria, resulting in a total of37 articles.Databases and search termsWe utilized four databases: Education Source, Academic Search Complete, ProfessionalDevelopment Collection, and ERIC. After experimenting with various search terms, our finalcriteria included “Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics” and “Hispanic Serving” or“Hispanic-Serving” in the abstract, title, or keywords.

This underscores the criticalimportance of the problem definition and goal development phase in ensuring the ultimate success of theproject [1].Conventional engineering design commonly relies on an exclusively "bottom-up" approach, assuming thestatus quo and proceeding incrementally towards externally defined technological goals. While this methodallows for identifying short-term, narrowly focused solutions, it raises concerns regarding

This course, Engineering and Society,contains elements that are common among FYE courses such as the study of engineeringdisciplines, ethics, and a team-based design project, yet it uniquely focuses on the connectionsamong engineering/technology and society and the development of technology within a societalcontext. This allows us to integrate ethics and the engineering design experience with thetechnology and society content, which provides a platform for analyzing current technologicalsystems and exposes students to the breadth and diversity of engineering.
