age [16]. Chemistry departments, through a variety of courses and programs,provide opportunities for students to explore the nature and significance of chemistry forknowledge about ourselves and the world around us [17]. The chemistry field, as a major area ofstudy, provides excellent preparation for graduate study in chemistry, biochemistry, chemicalengineering, environmental sciences and the medical sciences. It can also be useful to thosewhose later professional or business career may be related to chemical materials or processes. This implies that in developed countries, faculty research projects and curriculum involveundergraduate participation. Thus, the developmental role of chemistry becomes wellpronounced appreciated and adequately

we analyze these five students’ thought processes as they completed theOEMPs [11]. Here, we examine only what they thought about the problems, and find fourthemes: 1) The OEMPs related to the real world, 2) the OEMPs helped to teach course concepts,3) the OEMPs were fun, and 4) the OEMPs made the students think.Two students discussed how they thought the OEMPs were a good addition to the coursebecause they showed how the material applied to the real world and required them to practiceskills they would need for their engineering careers. Broderick remarked twice that he “thoughtthese problems were really good real world applications.” Henry described how the OEMPsprovided more real world practice than a standard problem: You start out

Subtle, covert negative interactions perpetuate the difficulties in the career and academicpursuit of underrepresented minority women hindering minority retention within engineeringeducation (Camacho & Lord, 2011).

Our private institutionhas a significantly lower acceptance rate and a higher graduation rate than the pubic university Itaught previously. The lower acceptance rate is a result of admitting students with higher gradepoint averages and higher college admissions test scores. The lower rate has less, albeittraditional retention issues. Unlike the public university, the private institution does MTBIpersonality preference testing, but the purpose is to help identify potential career paths.The department’s retention issues occur at the end of the first semester and at the end of thesecond year.

Students who excelon project teams are able to network with industry professionals at competition events, duringsponsorship activities, and while seeking mentorship and guidance.

]. Outside of engineering, disciplines such as social work explicitlyteach empathy and utilize it on a regular basis to make their students successful in this field,again showing evidence of the ability for educators to design learning environments to helpstudents develop empathy and apply it to their chosen careers [12]. As stated by Walther, Miller,and Kellam [13], three challenges of designing learning environments to teach a trans-disciplinary content such as empathy are: “(i) the danger of disciplinary separation of content,(ii) the challenges of students’ gradual transition to accepting a concept such as empathy asrelevant to engineering, and (iii) the role of epistemological differences for both students andinstructors.” Further research

education had numerous benefitsincluding improved learning and achievement in science and mathematics; increased awarenessof engineering and the work of engineers; understanding of and the ability to engage inengineering design; interest in pursuing engineering as a career; and increased technologicalliteracy.2Initially, individual states led the effort to include engineering in K-12 education. More recently,attention has shifted to the national level with the integration of engineering design into the NextGeneration Science Standards (NGSS). The NRC notes that the insight and interest students gainfrom this integration should “help students see how science and engineering are instrumental inaddressing major challenges that confront society today

performance is one of many reasons why students drop out ofSTEM career programs [22]. Aside from transfer students who may experience high stress due tochanging school cultures, students who perform poorly on initial exams may suffer from poorself-esteem and doubt their ability to succeed in engineering. Such self-doubt may result inemotional disengagement with learning tasks. Disengaged and poor-performing students areoften at risk of withdrawing from engineering courses, such as statics, that they deem to becognitively challenging. Because resilience is particularly relevant for students who experienceinitial poor performance, we will study the resilience/academic performance relationships ofstudents who struggle initially in statics and either

For undergraduates,this is professional ethics in an industrial or consulting context.1 For graduate students, whosetraining is preparation for a career in research, this is typically research ethics, implicitly in anacademic context.2 Thus, both construe the responsibilities of the engineer relatively narrowly.In particular, the concerns of each taper dramatically as the borders of the immediate work siteare crossed.
