The evaluator askedparticipants to share their opinions on the conference sessions by indicating the name of aspecific session or sessions(s) in which they gained important new knowledge, insight, orunderstanding of research and/or practice in broadening participation in engineering (Woodruff &Li, 2017). As Figure 5 indicates, the largest percentage of participants felt that the culminatingsessions, Data Analysis and Concept Mapping, contributed to their new knowledge. TheConference Threads Breakout Session and Panel of Champions were also selected by a largepercentage of participants.

Majors that wouldn’t normal collaborate such as graphic design andelectrical/computer engineering have shown to have had some of the most impressive outcomes in terms ofend design and function.

inengineering.The RStudio integrated development environment was used to perform the statistical analysis [8]. All statistical tests were conductedwith an alpha=0.05. A standard t-test is used to compare means. For the odds ratio estimate, the Fisher’s Exact Test for Count Datafrom the R-“stats” package is used[8]. The cohen.d function from the EffSize package estimates the effect size for all t-tests[9]. Thisis a measure of the strength of the difference between means and we use d ≤ 0.2 for a small (S) effect, 0.2 < d ≤ 0.8 is considered amedium (M) effect, and d > 0.8 is a large effect [9]. The statistical power is also estimated using the “pwr” package in R using defaultvalues for all non-required parameters [10]. A comparison of means is

There isalso an expectation that it encourages more female students to enroll in graduate school. Theauthors’ specific findings indicate a positive impact of research experiences on graduateenrollment. Given these findings, the following research questions were formed with respect tothe industrial engineering major: 1. Does having a CURE experience inspire more female industrial engineering students to stay in the major? 2. Does having a CURE experience inspire more female industrial engineer

The use of active voice is intended
a new paradigm for engineering education,one based upon a contemplative pedagogy in conjunction with service learning. The nexus of thetwo paradigms seems to hold great promise in developing the skills in engineering students theNational Academy of Engineering has described.

Therefore, I asked a couple of close friends whocompleted their Ph.D.’s in a similarly short period for some additional resources. However, I amhoping that current and prospective graduate students may find some of these resources helpful totheir success as well.Setting GoalsVagueness and confusion can lead to procrastination and lack of motivation. 1 One way to addclarity is to define clear long-term goals. 1 Covey’s second habit is to “begin with the end inmind.” 2 Both Tracy 1 and Covey 2 emphasize that importance in setting long-term goals to helpmake decisions on what to do in the short

solution process is more important than the finalproduct.”Barrows4, doing research in the medical education field in the 1980’s, stated that problem-basedlearning can have many different meanings, depending on the skills of the teacher and theeducational learning objectives being pursued. In the medical field, existing cases taken from themedical research literature are an important part of the educational process. Barrows saw that ataxonomy was needed to help differentiate the many types of case-based learning processespossible. The taxonomy ranges from cases explained mostly via lecture, through looking at acase from beginning to end, applying lessons learned, and starting back at the beginning of thecase again, to see is a different approach to

program, Leading Oneself. In defining“leader”, student responses shifted from simplistic definitions that viewed leaders asauthoritarian figures with the responsibility for command and controlling others to morecomplex definitions that view leaders as those who have a positive and authentic relationshipwith and responsibility to those s/he is leading. There is a shift from a focus on the leader to afocus on the relationship the leader has with others. In defining “leadership”, once again thestudent responses shift from simple to more complex definitions. They started with a focus onthe leader him or herself, and moved to an understanding of leadership as a process that must bemarked by positive interactions and relationships with others. These
