environment to industry by providing designproblems originating from industry, and a setting for graduating engineers to work in designteams. Industry-sponsored projects not only provide a link between practicing engineers andgraduating students, but also give students a deeper understanding for how they will use theirdiscipline specific knowledge and skills in industry. Thus, although a few concerns areraised 11-12, there is overwhelming evidence for the success of capstone design courses thatemploy industry-sponsored design projects 2-10.

approach to research on first-generation students, reflecting a focus on what thesestudents can add to engineering rather than focusing on what they lack [10]. We pose thefollowing research question: How do two first-generation students, one a first-year and one a fourth-year, describe their journeys through engineering?By comparing the perspectives of a first-year and fourth-year student, we can identifyopportunities for better supporting our first-year, first-generation students. Identifying thespecific challenges endured by both students in their first years, and the stories of how thosechallenges were navigated, allows educators to adjust existing practices to be more supportiveand inclusive of first-generation students.MethodsIn
case studies for use in thecapstone course,10, 11 and the Architectural Engineering project involved the development of acomputer-based tutor to assist students in designing steel structures.12 The latter two initiativesdid not have a lasting impact because they were each led by a single investigator who eventuallyleft Penn State before being able to convince other colleagues to buy into the pedagogicalinnovation. In Aerospace and Electrical Engineering the involvement of multiple investigatorsand the integration of the projects into formal curricular changes led to their continuation, and inCivil Engineering, the project was led by a single investigator who persisted in his efforts,eventually leading to a follow-on project involving more

Writingassignments are used to create a practical context that deepens their understanding andcomprehension of the content area. The sequence of assignments progressively advancesstudents from solving single solution problems to more complex open-ended problems that moreclosely resemble the engineering design process.Developing Context for Engineering PracticeA program goal of the civil engineering department is to guide the student’s development as afuture professional engineer (PE).

authors,but its presentation and analysis is left for subsequent papers.ConclusionsEmpathy as well as innovation-related self-efficacy and interests are believed to help engineerscreate solutions that better match the needs of their end-users, whether they were designing in thecontext of a larger firm or a startup. However, research on the effect of engineering education onthe development of empathy is virtually nonexistent, and even studies linking empathy toinnovation outcomes are rare. This study takes a first step towards evidence-based practice bydemonstrating that graduate students’ self-reported empathy (as measured by perspective takingtendencies) as well as their innovation self-efficacy (as measured by confidence in design

A more nuanced conclusion is that these results are sensitive to the definitions of totalwork hours and research productivity, which has implications on institutional policy inevaluation and reward structures and their potential impacts on faculty groups. Link et al.

deliverables:(1) a “research sequence” consisting of a rhetorical analysis, an annotated bibliography, and aliterature review, (2) a humanities assignment in which students explore the impact oftechnology on societal needs, and (3) laboratory and design reports stemming from the projects.In many cases, there are two grades associated with a design project- one for the report and onefor the “technical merit” of the design itself. For example, when a project on wind turbine design[6] was introduced into the course, 20% of the course grade was based upon how muchelectricity a student team’s turbine generated, and another 20% was based upon the final designreport associated with the project. (The other 60% was primarily based upon other major

There is no currently existing CIfor networking and telecommunications. Our initial results seem to suggest that the developmentof a CI for this field would be very useful. However, we would like this CI to be applicable to adiverse set of students, with respect to both their culture and their educational level(undergraduate and graduate). At the moment, the development of such a CI is still in an earlystage.In summary, this study expands the breadth of knowledge on student preconceptions in STEMby including the subject of QoS in telecommunications, identifying some of thepreconception(s
