Lattuca et. al.’s2017 engineering education study found that a curricular emphasis on interdisciplinary topicsand skills (specifically including participating in non-engineering co-curricular activities andhumanitarian engineering projects), “significantly and positively relate to engineering students’reports of interdisciplinary skills” [4]. In this paper, we suggest an interdisciplinary computerprogramming exercise based on Ada Lovelace’s 1843 program for Charles Babbage’s AnalyticalEngine, thus promoting knowledge transfer between the humanities (history) and computerscience. Every student of computer science should be aware of the Bernoulli

Having exceptional professional skills is what leads to success in roles withgreater responsibilities in management [6]. This emphasis on professional skills could allude to ashift in expertise from technical to professional skills when switching to a managerial role inlater career stages. The transition away from technical expertise may be difficult for engineers tonavigate, as professional skills align less with the technical skills associated with early career.We present our examination of practicing engineers’ definition of their expertise by genderidentity and

While we do consider the support mechanisms students mayleverage to overcome obstacles, in general, these results emphasize the larger issues in existinghiring structures, and demonstrate the importance of not treating students as a monolith. Thefindings from this work are intended to inform educators about how to better prepare students tosucceed on technical interviews, and to encourage industry to reform the process to make it moreequitable.1 IntroductionBetween 2019 and 2029, demand for workers in computing occupations are expected to surge28.8% [1].

These philosophies were correlated tofive teaching styles: expert (who is interested in knowledge transfer), formal authority (whonever hesitate to give negative feedback), personal (who encourages students to follow theirway), facilitator (who present alternative and encourage students to take the initiative andresponsibility to construct knowledge), and delegator (who expects students to studyindependently in projects). Saritas argued that teachers mostly adapt a facilitator teaching styleand prefer experimentalist philosophy [12].Typically, we develop TPS with administrators and promotion committees in mind.

Within our own discoveryprocess, we developed stronger collegial relationships and applied our learning not just to theclassroom, but to our service and scholarship work.

As a result, the patterns of disadvantagedocumented here may be conservative estimates of the patterns in engineering education morebroadly.The ASEE-DIS asked students a range of questions about their experiences with engineeringpeers and professors, their thoughts about the engineering profession, and their future careerplans.

This method is based on designing or creatingproduct, solving problem, investigating, and developing an answer (J Dewey, 1980; J Dewey,2008; Kilpatrick, 1918). The PBL approach improves group work skills and collaboration whilekeeping students more engaged in learning by keeping them motivated as the key element of thisstrategy (Harun, Yusof, Jamaludin, & Hassan, 2012; Huang, 2010).

Our results suggest that, despite the many contextualdifferences (e.g., age, point in professional career, race, ethnicity, etc.), role models and mentorsshare many of the same kinds of narratives around their values and aspirations. However, theapparent differences are often identity-relevant, and the role models’ narratives generated deepemotional responses in the researchers as viewers.
