This literature review examined relevant published work on 1) What impacts do LLCs havefor all students who live in an LLC; 2) What are the impacts on first-year engineering collegestudents living in an LLC, and 3) What theoretical frameworks are used in literature whenexamining the impacts an LLC has on first-year engineering college students.IntroductionTwo of every three students in Singapore, and one out of every two students in China obtaindegrees in science or engineering. In the United States, that statistic is less than one in sevenstudents who earn degrees in science or engineering [1]. Given the

. Students were going to 6th grade (40.2%), 7th grade (31.5%), 8th grade (28.3%) duringthe summer. Additionally, the researchers randomly selected one or two students from eachgroup/table in camp 1 to 4. A total of 22 students presented their groups/tables to conduct in-depth interviews with us on the last day of each camp. Of the 22 interviewees, six were fromcamp 1, seven were from camp 2, five were from camp 3, and four were from camp 4. Allstudents and their guardians were required to sign consent letters.Instruments The instrument used in this study was the Middle/High School Student Attitudes towardSTEM (S-STEM) survey. This instrument was a useful tool in the evaluations of the university’soutreach projects and K-12 STEM initiative [46
findings, Barba-S´anchez et al. [33] identified Financial Motivation as one of the leadingmotivational factors for industrial and computer engineering students. They further elaborate thatmoney is seen as a synonym for well-being, and reflects safety and a good standard of living forthe society. Having the power to act seems to be a strong factor for engineering graduates. Thegraduates value the power to make their own decisions but also to take responsibility. Previousresearch from Barba-S´anchez (2012)[12] identified ”do things my way” as one of the factors, rep-resenting the possession and execution of power. The participants talked about the reputation ofstarting a company and could appreciate additional visibility. A similar factor has been

In addition, to make each individual’s emotional state curve and key milestonesmore readily distinguishable from each other, and to enable us to explore the relationship betweencognitive style and emotional state, each individual curve was colorized based on the individual’scorresponding KAI score, as shown in Figure 6. The 10-point ranges were chosen based on the 10-point just-noticeable-difference for individual KAI scores3,23.

prototypes created by the users.One view of technological development assumes that new ideas present themselves with apredictable, self-determining trajectory—the ideology of technological determinism. However,the new trends of empathy and human-centeredness of design convince us that human choice,not technology, moves history. Lo-fi prototypes, therefore, should be built with an explicitemphasis on having an element of understanding the impact on human users, both directly andindirectly.Consider the impact of automation trends in the 1970’s on the labor market [37]. Theintroduction of numerically-controlled machines, for example, has had social impacts onworkshops floor workers, who viewed the new technology as a threat to their jobs
, Be familiar with relevant background and technical knowledge that lead to successful design.The starting point of any design project, irrespective of the object or nature of the project, is theproblem definition phase characterized by: asking relevant questions and attempting to findplausible/realistic answers. No sooner has a client or professor defined a series of objectives for adesign project than the designer- whether in a consulting office or in a classroom- want to findout what the customer really wants. Questions such as: what is an economic project? How doyou define the best design? What is a safe design? What are the factor(s) that will affect thedesign the most? Phrasing it differently, knowledge resides in the questions
