By design, these students are generally just completing their coursework andhave not yet formally begun their dissertation research; this allows them to apply their socialresponsibilities training to it once they do start. To apply, students submit a cover letter, a CV orresume, and one letter of recommendation (from their advisor, if assigned). Applicationstypically exceed spaces by around two-to-one, making admissions competitive. We do selectstudents based on the strengths of their interest in the social relevance of their work or field, sothis selection should be kept in mind when generalizing the results of the program.

Theselessons may also be instructive to other engineering faculty who manage or advise undergraduateengineering projects. To recap, four key lessons learned by the team phrased as suggestions hereinclude 1) keeping the big picture in mind to helps project team members focus on what works toserve the client by effectively meeting the need, not just developing fancy technology, 2) whendeveloping a new product, it helps to start by trying to meet a specific need in a smaller localmarket, and gradually work toward the larger market, 3) grant funding or other support for fieldtesting proves

Theteam was composed of an undergraduate student, midway through a general engineering programwith a concentration in mechanical engineering, and a professor in electrical engineering. Theproject was a second-stage of development for an idea originally developed for a Senior Capstoneproject. The research group for the capstone project consisted of four students of variousengineering concentrations, who ultimately presented their work at a regional conference6.With the above context in mind, the instructor set out to design a research experience that wouldbe challenging and rewarding for the student.

Specifically, I investigate a psychological mechanism – perplexity - through which engineers thrive when their habitual mind clashes with the social realities. In addition, I test interventions to nudge engineers to reframe problematic schema-incongruent situations into unique opportunities for cognitive growth, creative performance, and effective teamwork. My work contributes to revealing the science behind multicultural, interdisciplinary technological collaboration and providing actionable guidance for

Out of the six performance indicators for theirmodel, libraries can have the greatest effect on both "institutional climate/culture" and"institutional receptivity". The climate/culture reflects how students are treated, opportunities forresearch and contributions to a chosen discipline, and especially whether students feel like theybelong.

Traditionalengineering coursework often leaves students in a position where they can construct and solve aseries of equations to find a requested answer, but they do not understand “why” or even “whatthey just did”5. This is often evidenced on exams when students do not realize a computedanswer is incorrect by multiple orders of magnitude, and poor conceptual understanding such asthis has been observed in young engineers during their work in industry6,7. With this in mind,instruments which can effectively teach and evaluate engineering students’ conceptualunderstanding are key tools for engineering

As part of this degree program, a gateway course will be required for all EETsophomores that is designed to recruit into the ENET major, to serve as an introduction to AC systemsanalysis, and to explain electric energy and power systems in a systems context. This course wasdesigned specifically with the IEEE mandate in mind, and great importance was placed on meeting theprogram characteristics described above. Therefore, the course content was chosen to emphasize theapplication of building renewable and efficient electric power systems. Topics such as renewable energyresources (wind, solar, and fuel cells), cleaner
