usually framed as a problem ofrepresentation with solutions and interventions aimed at increasing the numbers ofunderrepresented groups. Historically, and in the present moment, the field of engineering hasnot been the most diverse in terms of race and gender. As of 2014, only 19.8% of all engineeringundergraduate students in the United States identified as female, down 0.7% from 2004 [1].Compared to this percentage, the University of Virginia’s engineering school had a 31% femaleundergraduate enrollment in 2017 [2]. Yet, nationally females represent greater than 50% of allcollege students. Recent efforts have initiated means to strengthen an atmosphere of inclusion,but there is more work to be done to bridge the identified gaps.Reasons for the

diverse teams lead to better conclusions for complex problems. Therehave been numerous studies, from a variety of contexts, which have studied this premise.Recently, an article described using a linearized maximally diverse grouping problemformulation to create diverse teams within University of Michigan’s Engineering GlobalLeadership Honors Program. Their results were implemented with minimal changes [1].Work in homogeneous teams (“Group of Same”) versus heterogeneous teams (“Group ofDifferent”) has shown that heterogeneous teams encounter more challenges as the diverseteammates learn how to work together; however, they often overcome their homogeneous teamcounterparts with better results [2, 3].

, educators and policy makers have expressed growing concerns over thelevels of math and science achievement among American students and the gradual decline in thenumbers of young people moving into science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM)careers [1], [2], [3]. These concerns have led to the development of new standards for scienceand technology education [4], [5], [6], policy initiatives aimed at promoting science andtechnology education [7], [8],[9], and to a growing body of research on math and sciencelearning and the pathways leading to STEM-related careers [10], [11]. While the picture oflooming shortages of scientists and engineers has been challenged and recent studies haveindicated that American students are taking more science and

Taken together, these documents constructthe department’s image of an ‘ideal engineer.’ Undergraduate students’ engineering identities have emerged as a prominent researchtopic among engineering educators. Identity—both in terms of social identities (i.e.,race/ethnicity, gender, etc.) and as engineers (i.e., viewing oneself as an engineering person)—has been found to play a role in undergraduate persistence [1], [2], retention [3], [4], [5], andeven teamwork [6], [7]. Recent research extends beyond assessing impact to understanding theconcept itself—for example, recent work has identified recognition and interest as key players inwhether or not a student will develop an engineering identity [8], [9], [10

Although Wing describes CT as a problem-solving approach that utilizesfundamental computing concepts, which is applicable not only for scientists but everyone, mostof the computational thinking instructional approaches are related to computer programming.Unfortunately, it is also unclear whether people use CT when solving non-programmingproblems. This study aims to answer two research questions: (1) In what ways do students usecomputational thinking skills when solving non-programming problems if any?; and (2) Ifstudents use CT when solving non-programming problems, in what ways do their approachesdiffer from computer science students?

Education, 2018 Early Career Plans in Engineering: Insights from the Theory of Planned BehaviorIntroductionCalls to address labor market demands in engineering industry often cite the need to increaseengineering degree attainment at postsecondary institutions. However, prior research onengineering students’ career decision making indicates that degree attainment in engineeringdoes not guarantee students’ plans to pursue engineering careers after graduation [1]. While thereare numerous studies of engineering career decision making processes, most researchers studycareer decisions as students exit college or enter the workforce. In this paper, we suggestengineering students’ career plans are a set of evolving

There is a focus on developing theory and knowledge related to both classroom learning and implementation through systematic inquiry; and 4.

The rapid growth of robotics and automation, especially during the last fewyears, its current positive impact and future projections for impact on the United States economyare very promising. Even by conservative estimates1, the number of robots used in industry in theUnited States has almost doubled in recent years. From 2014 to 2016, robot installations areestimated to increase about 6% a year, resulting in an overall 3-year increase1 of 18%. Likewise,industrial robot manufacturers are reporting 18-25% growth in orders and revenue year on year.While some jobs will be displaced due to the increased rollout of robots
