ASCE President in 2004, envisioned a practice oriented degree in200715. She states: “The master of professional engineering management is designed to meet the needs of those who are already at work in professional practice—to provide them with the professional skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the 21st-century workplace without requiring them to place their careers on hold while they complete graduate school. This master’s program will provide engineers with the knowledge and skills now required of engineering professionals—specifically, an understanding of globalization; of the importance of ethics and professionalism; of how to work effectively with diverse, multinational teams; and
modeling learning and reasoning processes. In particular, he is attracted to fine-grained analysis of video data both from a micro- genetic learning analysis methodology (drawing on knowledge in pieces) as well as interaction analysis methodology. He has been working on how learners’ emotions are coupled with their conceptual and epistemological reasoning. He is also interested in developing models of the dynamics of categorizations (ontological) underlying students’ reasoning in physics. Lately, he has been interested in engineering design thinking and engineering ethics education. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 “Turning Away” from the Struggling Individual

The importance here isto embed these new recruits into a community of STEM learners, seeing others with similargoals and aspirations, to help clarify and confirm their STEM decision. The STEM

Pre-determined questions focus on their driving experience, their assessment of aspects of thedriving interaction and interface, and their recollection of various aspects of the drive-along experience and their response.These research procedures are minimally risky, they are driving their personally ownedvehicle, on quiet campus roads or parking lots, and riding a car with “trained” passengersas researchers. Two elements outline ethical consideration in the study:a. Audio and video recording occurred. The recordings were used to code participantbehavior, to examine and transcribe interactions with the existing automation.Additionally, videos may be shown for educational purposes, in classrooms, labs

The key attributes are listed as: strong analytical skills,practical ingenuity, creativity, communication, business and management, leadership,high ethical standards, professionalism, dynamism, agility, resilience, and flexibility, andbecoming lifelong learners. The NAS also prepared reports entitled The Engineer of 2010,Rising Above the Gathering Storm, and Examination of the U.S. Air Force’s Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Workforce Needs in the Future and Its Strategy toMeet Those Needs.9-13 One statement is
]. However, there is some evidence to suggest that ambassadormembership does benefit the undergraduate students and their burgeoning sense of themselves asprofessionals, which involves a commitment to serving “the public with specialized knowledgeand skills through commitment to the field’s public purposes and ethical standards” [7]. Forexample, Anagnos and colleagues [8] surveyed students in two such programs and found reportedbenefits including exploration of career goals, a sense of belonging to the engineeringcommunity, and a perception that they were making a difference in the lives of others. In engineering, it may be argued that individuals from minority groups (women,individuals of color) benefit especially from professional
needs within realistic constraints such aseconomic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, andsustainability”72. A thorough understanding and mastery of the design process is necessary tosolve these difficult challenges; however, one of the most critical stages of the design process,prototyping, has remained largely unstructured and unstudied. This work evaluated the impact onprototyping awareness of a guided prototyping framework. Future work will explore how PFXmay help engineering students test and iterate on designs faster and more effectively. Finally, our work aligns with the National Science Foundation’s second strategic goal “stimulateinnovation and address societal needs through research
life; thus, making this assignment a highly authentic assessment option due tothe personal nature of the question being asked; hence, there is no boilerplate answer that can befound online. Lastly, when in the lab, Lab Instructors reminded students about ethical and moralconduct when completing peer reviews for each assignment.In support of learning, students were given (a) a full lecture surrounding digital literacy, (b) alecture on the importance of citation when reporting research, (c) online APA references forexploration and review, (d) the option to take a Basic Library Training module for extra creditcompletion, and (e) were asked to conduct APA style and format guideline information researchoutside of class.

characteristics of high quality STEM integration, including providing“opportunities for students to learn from failure and redesign.”18 Many in engineering educationpromote the idea of teaching it through the habits of mind, or how engineers think and do theirwork.19 These include: “systems thinking, collaboration, ethical considerations, creativity,communication and optimism.”20 Failure, although not explicitly named, is best exemplified aspart of the habit of mind of optimism. Resilient responses to design failure include an optimisticmindset that the problem can indeed be solved or that the failure can be overcome. Theseresponses are representative of a growth mindset, in which students learn from failure andbelieve that growth is a natural byproduct
