While several theories of retention have emerged over the last few decades, two havedominated the theory and practice of retention: 1. Tinto’s academic and social integration model 8, 9, 10 and 2. Astin’s involvement model 11, 12In a nutshell, Tinto and Astin suggest that retention and persistence to graduation occurs whenstudents successfully integrate into the institution academically and socially and when students areinvolved and connected.

Texas A&M University-Kingsville AbstractThe pathway to graduation can become confusing and lack the support needed for minority studentsto navigate their career goals successful and gain the types of experiences that foster a successfulcareer upon graduation in STEM majors. Capstone design course is a critical component in mostengineering and science undergraduate curricula to preparation senior students for their future STEMcareers. However, the quality of capstone design projects does not always meet the expectation due tothe limited resources and support. Although capstone courses are now standard in engineering andscience programs across the US, the associated required logistics and the

The challenges that await engineering students upon their graduation willcertainly require them to employ the principles of HCD. While many institutions are pursing theprinciples of HCD through service-learning and sustainability engineering design challenges,there are many open questions concerning human-centered design learning. At Harding, throughthe interdisciplinary approach of Ansanm, we expect and hope to generate further knowledgerelated to HCD learning as we explore this area

scrutiny in thepast decade. As cited later, there have been concerns expressed that graduate programshave become less focused on preparing civil engineers for the professional practice ofcivil engineering and more focused on engineering research. An added concern in thisperceived trend has been that the future educators of civil engineers who graduate withPh.D.’s may be less prepared to foster the best possible learning in practical civilengineering design. These concerns may or may not be justified, but the current dialoguecertainly provides an opportunity for civil engineering departments to reexamine theirgraduate programs to identify whether they are doing to their best to prepare theirgraduates.

Service-learning has been used by engineering educators to provide thecontext for students to learn and practice engineering design. Service-learning design projectsdiffer from traditional engineering design projects in the following ways: · Service-learning projects are sponsored by community organizations while traditional design projects are sponsored by industries, professional societies, or by faculty. · Students interact with persons outside of their socioeconomic group with little knowledge of engineering in service-learning

Given the learner-centered creative technicalproblem-solving fundamentals, they make a compelling case for making activities inundergraduate engineering education. Preliminary studies of making in undergraduateengineering education are promising as these activities may appeal to a broader diversity ofstudents [18] [19].Physical Computing Design Solutions for FarmersMain objectives of the open-ended team-based Physical Computing Design

Recently she has successfully led and supported Biomedical engineering and Systems Design engineering programs at the University of Waterloo to apply the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) graduate attribute and continuous improvement approach to the programs. That intrigued her to dig deeper into teaching-learning pedagogy. The abrupt changes that the pandemic brought to the education system, were a trigger for her to realize that change is coming to how we do things. However, before we jump into applying a change, we should understand the impact of the change from all stakeholders’ perspectives.Lisa LachutaDr. Christine Moresoli, University of TorontoDr. Rania Al-Hammoud, University of Waterloo

The desired impacts for the course were to: (1) provide a general introduction to keyskills so students have a platform on which to build as they enter discipline specific courses, (2)provide a guided experience related to design projects that are often part of upper level courses,(3) initiate patterns relevant to teamwork as engineering practice commonly involvescollaborative processes, and (4) reinforce commitment among engineering

First, the Scholars created a need specification statements that included:defining the problem, explaining the significance of the problem, describing the physiology ofthe problem, describing how the problem is currently approached, explaining the issues withthese approaches from all three observational perspectives, summarizing new approaches on thehorizon, and listing the constraints that any future solution will have to meet. Second, theScholars generated three potential solution concepts as well as a preliminary productdevelopment plan that reflects FDA design control and regulatory best practices. Plans includedrealistic timelines considering the necessary research, experimentation and an iterative designprocess.Of the three plans that

term, students were expected to complete an engineeringdesign project during an intense six-week period, and then repeat the process a second time for adifferent project. Students were assigned to some 200 teams (3 – 5 students each) and dividedinto 16 tutorials, supervised by 87 teaching assistants (12 graduate, 75 undergraduate) and 7faculty consultants. Students were guided in structured tutorials, group discussions, andcomputer-mediated interactions. To ensure students made steady progress, there were threedeliverables: a preliminary report describing background research, ethical considerations, anddesign alternatives; a final report that included the team’s proposed technical design, costanalysis, feasibility, and impact on the community

Trust must be built between students and faculty. Time is best spent byfaculty in explaining and emphasizing to students how they need to develop the necessarycapabilities, and if they cheat through school, they will not succeed on the job as thediscrepancies will eventually become apparent.References[1] B.

23.710.3 Researchers found a positive correlation between homework activities and the class drop rate. Leone and Richards[20] found that homework plays a critical long-term role in the developmentof students’ achievement motivation in instructive practice. Homework provides students withtime and experience to develop positive beliefs about achievement, as well as strategies forcoping with mistakes, difficulties, and setbacks. The authors also argued that homework is a vitalmeans by which students can receive the training they need to become mature learners.

backgrounds [9]. Thus, teamwork always emphasizes the importance ofcooperation and negotiation among individuals. Regarding teamwork competence in globalengineering education, we must consider cultural diversity and impact within team-basedengineering practice [10].With increasing globalization, foreign-born professionals comprise a growing share of anycountry's STEM workforce. Most of these foreign-born professionals have completedundergraduate degrees in their mother countries, which makes cross-cultural teamworkcompetence more significant in improving the efficiency of the global engineering workforceenvironment. Therefore, it is imperative and necessary for engineering education research tofocus on understanding how teamwork skills are formulated
