For the employers of our graduates, we believed that withengineering programs we would be able to provide them with better prepared graduates than wecould with the engineering technology programs. Part of this was due to aforementioned increasein foundational math and science courses, and the ability to achieve more depth in upper-divisioncourses as a result. In addition, we knew that we would be able to increase the number of creditsin the programs as we transitioned from engineering technology to engineering, so we felt that wecould add content without having to give up any content that

Jill explained her hope that students will take on STEM identities whileengaged in classroom work, I would love for them to start to be little engineers where they are keeping their own little engineering notebook and saying okay this is how I’m going to make a table, this is what the table is going to look like and then make the graph afterwards.By putting students in the position of STEM professionals in the classroom, Bob had similarhopes, “And so, hopefully, and maybe no one will from there, but I hope some of the kidsthere…maybe they will want to

. Targeting these types of activities may be effective atreducing student loneliness. Diehl et al. conclude their study with the following: Universities are a perfect setting for conducting interventions to support students in attaining a healthy lifestyle (e.g., by offering sport courses) and also for giving them the opportunity to start their professional career being healthy. Giving support at this stage of life is important in preventing lonely students from “being trapped in loneliness as they age”Moving forwards, the authors are planning improvements for the 2020 fall break intervention.Speaking with students who remained on campus, there is clearly appetite to increase the numberand variety of social activities running during the week

Since then, some scholars have called our attention to how the focus ofwell-intentioned ECD projects on technological fixes and deliverables tend to leave out criticalreflections of engineers’ motivations to be in these projects, and of the processes required tobuild trust and determine communities’ priorities and desires [3][4]. Unfortunately, these calls tocritical reflection in the ECD space are often overshadowed by the continued emergence ofmilestones and challenges (e.g., UN Sustainable Development Goals, NAE

Individuals tend to orient themselves to the people in theirenvironment; that is, they tend to be able to imagine themselves in the positions of people withwhom they come into contact [6]. The alignment of engineering students is significantly associatedwith the majors and careers they choose to pursue [6]. Therefore, when facing ambiguous ethical 8dilemmas, orientation to others in their environment is likely to predict microethical understanding[6].Bairaktarova and Woodcock (2015) also found that differences in individual

They proposedoing so by asking traditional technical questions in ways that require students to interrogatepotential circumstances of problems they are given in class [13]. This can be done in ways thatdo not forfeit the technical requirements demanded of an engineer, but rather complementlearning in the classroom to better mirror (and prepare students for) the socio-technical worknecessary for acting as Engineering Changemakers or, simply, for successful careers inengineering.This paper details the first iteration of a module to incorporate

Further, student decisions toengage in global activities after returning from a global experience can increase the long-terminfluence of the global program on their attitudes and career plans [9]. These studies suggest thatalthough the structure and components of global programs can influence program outcomes,there can still be different pathways for students who have the same experience. As argued byStreitwieser and Light, global education research has often focused only on aggregate programoutcomes and not individual student experiences, but

He writes,“one suggestion for research might be to inquire of those engineers whose career paths haveled them out of engineering into positions in which they are making contributions in otherspheres of activity. Engineering is well known for the fact that many formally trained asengineers are now fulfilling other responsibilities that may also be occupied by individualswith other types of formal training.

Students need more practicesolving complex real-world problems. It seems unnecessary to make students wait to start thispractice only after they have mastered basic math and science concepts.
