robotics, biomedical devices, and engineering education. He teaches introductory design, mechanics, mechatronics, capstone design, medical devices, and product design & entrepreneurship. His interests in design education includes increasing student motivation, teamwork, hands-on projects, and integration of theory into design projects. In 1999 he co- founded Coactive Drive Corporation (currently General Vibration), a company that provides haptic solutions. In 2016 Nate co-founded eGrove Education, Inc. an educational software company focused on teaching sketching and spatial visualization skills.Carolyn L Sandoval (Associate Director) © American Society for Engineering Education, 2022
Participation was less than 100% because some students were allowed to use prior work experience to earn theirinternship credit or substitute the internship with a capstone project. Internship participation has risen from 84% ofgraduates in 2015 to 96% in 2019.12 At MECC, the internship was not offered for credit (either as an elective or required) in the Electrical and CNCEngineering Technology programs.The challenges surrounding finding an internship were reflected in the MWCC InternshipSurvey. Finding an internship was by far the most difficult aspect of the internship. 78% of thewomen and 64% of the men reported that finding an internship was somewhat difficult, difficult,or very difficult. In comparison, 66% of white students, 59% of Hispanic
largerresearch project. The instructor did not ask students to use SolidWorks or any other drawingsoftware; the students came to this decision on their own. We include a description of this team’suse of SolidWorks because this process, while not typical of student work in the full data set,does provide an example of productive beginnings of making assumptions. We do not claim thatall students will or should demonstrate particular forms of emerging engineering judgment;rather, we believe that developing a diverse portfolio of forms of emerging judgment will help usrecognize additional forms of emerging judgment.In the transcript below, Greg recognizes that the SolidWorks sketch might be manipulable, andasks Kevin to try lowering the chair seat.

He holds a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the University of Kansas. Kong currently teaches a few entry-level engineering courses, engineering mechanics, and capstone design courses. Before joining Coastal Carolina University, Kong had years of experience in civil engineering in both industry and academia. His research interests lie in the areas of
, an outcome spaceemerged with five main categories of description about the kinds of obstacles studentsencountered in regard to the hiring process in computing and industry practices: Uncertainty,interview techniques, time demands of preparation, anxiety management, and improvinginclusivity. Yet, our goal was not to focus on the issues faced, but the solutions to resolve them.As such, the perceptions of the students’ experiences guided the creation of a set ofrecommendations for students, academia, and industry, to mitigate concerns with the currentprocess and to consider avenues for improvement.1 IntroductionOver the next decade, computer and information technology occupations are projected to rise11% [1]. However, disparities in the
the program context and changes,participant selection, and the interview questions and analysis.While Engineering Science continues to promote theoretical understanding, the program hasplaced greater emphasis on design in more recent years due to accreditation requirements andother motivators. Curricular experiences of more recent graduates may differ from those ofearlier graduates who did not experience cornerstone, middle-year, or capstone design courses asopportunities to apply their theoretical knowledge or learn through different modes. There havealso been program, faculty, and university-level efforts to provide greater support for learners, sostudents in the past may have been more unsupported in navigating and adapting to the
. Although students worked in groups, they were required to hand in individual solutions, which were another component of each student’s professionalism grade. The TAs graded one capstone problem each week and gave limited written feedback. • Exit Quiz + debrief (50 mins/week). Every Friday, following the Problem Set, the students took a zero-stakes Exit Quiz on the material for the week. Although not a component of their grade, the Exit Quiz was designed to closely emulate an exam question. Following the quiz, the instructor went over the solution in class, and provided a detailed rubric for the students to grade themselves. • Exam Feedback (2 times per quarter). Summative assessment of the students was accomplished the same way as
