application of individual research methods [5; 17].With these characteristics of the field of engineering education research in mind, the goal at theoutset of this project was to build on an initial theoretical understanding of research quality withthe view to developing a quality framework that reflects the practices of engineering educationresearchers. This goal was to be achieved through two streams (see below) of integrated datagathering and educational workshops and the qualitative analysis of the data using iterativecoding methods of constant comparison [19; 20; 21; 22; 23].

Also, direct studentassessment was performed in the second junior-level course and senior-level course in the engineeringentrepreneurship minor program to assess their entrepreneurial skills.The survey was administered during the fall 2014 term to all 506 junior and senior engineering students.The response rate to the survey was 17% (although 132 students started the survey, only 86 completed itin its entirety). The direct assessments were performed during the final

To accomplish this goal, a cohort of women of color engineers willparticipate in international mentoring relationships, networks, and research collaborations, whilethey learn strategies for mindful intercultural communication. The GEESN builds upon UMBC’shighly successful Eminent Scholar Mentoring program and International Engagement forWomen of Color project. The initiative has two main components: a 2-year formal

Several students identified the user-centered approach in theirreflections on their learning. This semester was an extremely useful experience in the social aspect of my understanding of engineering. Working with our project partners in Uganda and developing a solution with cultural aspects in mind has helped me to develop a much more broad scope of mu cultural understanding. Working with

With all these objectives in mind a group of five companies foundedthe Industrial Consortium to Foster Applied Research in Mexico in February 2008. UNIVERSITY-INDUSTRY PARTNERSHIP THE SYNERGY THAT MAY CHANGE THE INDUSTRIAL FUTURE It is well known that most of the top engineering students receive good work offers fromleading companies at the time of their bachelor graduation, but a few of them reject these offers,as they are willing to pursue graduate studies. These students are not attracted by just a goodsalary
half of the lectures are devoted todesigning against the failure mode of yield (19 lectures), while the modes of buckling, andfatigue and fracture have only a few lectures (3 and 2 lectures, respectively). Studentspreviously misunderstood that yield was “more important” and did not recognize that there areother failure modes that must be checked for in design. An instructor-developed concept mapwas used to help students see that, despite the large number of lectures required to fullyunderstand yield as a mode of failure, it was equally important as the other failure modes. Thispaper outlines the development and implementation of three concept maps: Dynamics, FluidMechanics, and Ship Structures.KeywordsConcept Map, Mind Map, Dynamics, Fluid
