Reflection in Engineering Education (CPREE). He is also a regular contributor to the Improve with Metacognition blog. In May of 2018, Dr. Cunningham received the Rose-Hulman Board of Trustee’s Outstanding Scholar Award for his research work. Dr. Cunningham teaches a range of courses across undergraduate levels with specialization in dynamic systems, measurement, and control. In his teaching he seeks to apply what he has learned from his research, spurring student reflection and metacognitive growth, so that they may become more skillful learners. Skillful learners are capable, independent, and adaptable thinkers who are able to succeed wherever their career paths lead. Dr. Cunningham has industry experience through 7 co

Graduate programs play a critical role in preparing studentsfor an academic career. Together with faculty, librarians can work to give students agrounding in the fundamentals of publishing ethics due to their combination of scholarlycommunications expertise and hands-on experience with the information behavior ofstudents at their institutions

We were especially interested in (a)the students' impressions on the accuracy of their experimental data and (b) the students'confidence in their ability to carry out the experiments. Some of the survey questions includedwere: “How easy it was to understand and perform the experiment?”, “Was the outcome of theexperiment same as predicted?” Last question on the survey inquired about the long-termusefulness and impacts of the lab experience. “Do you think the experience gained inexperiments will help in your future career?”All students in this study have answered the surveys.

orconsidering changing out, we see three recurring issues:First, students begin their undergraduate careers with a distinct lack of understanding, or intuitive“feel” for electrical engineering. For many other disciplines it is relatively easy to relate subjectmatter to previous personal experiences of the students. For example, when discussingconservation of momentum, the basic ideas that heavy and/or fast objects are harder to stop thanlight or slow objects is something that students have personally experienced and themathematical models serve to reinforce what they already “know”. In electrical engineering, wedo not have this advantage when describing the physics internal to our electrical devices so themath is not verifying a concept that they

Water contamination can include multiple issues, includingsuspended solids, turbidity, dissolved organics, and heavy metals, as well as bacteria or otherpathogens. Problems such as water quality may attract students to engineering as a means topursue a career dedicated to improving the human condition. Opportunities for students to furthertheir knowledge and awareness of humanitarian issues within the undergraduate curriculum canenhance their knowledge of these career paths and build on research or extra-curricularopportunities related to humanitarian engineering.

Math self-efficacy refers to one’s specific beliefs aboutunderstanding math concepts and applying related skills [13]. For engineering students, mathself-efficacy is important because it may impact general engineering self-efficacy and in turnretention and performance [14-16]. The Mathematics Self-Efficacy and Anxiety Questionnaire(MSEAQ) is one instrument available for quantifying math self-efficacy.

The “academics” code wasused to label any struggles related to coursework, such as low grades, dropping courses, or poorstudy habits.

Unfortunately, thedecline in state support for these schools and the rising costs of operation have forced land grantschools to admit more out-of-state and international students that pay tuition upcharges for theirincoming classes, at the expense of in
