Therefore, this study focuses not only the learning approaches andstrategies that these students use in our one-semester introductory engineering course, but in allof their courses.The learning objectives for the one-semester version of the introductory engineering sequenceare as follows: 1. Use guided design methodologies to analyze engineering problems in order to achieve an optimal solution. 2. Identify and analyze holistic issues that impact engineering solutions, e.g., ethical implications, stakeholder needs and interests, and constraints. 3. Collect and analyze data and information to support/inform engineering decisions. 4. Use mathematical, graphical, and physical models
administration of the Global Perspective Inventory (GPI)?Literature reviewThe NAE report on Educating the Engineer of 2020 states that the engineering graduates shouldbe “technically proficient engineers who are broadly educated, see themselves as global citizens,can be leaders in business and public service, and who are ethically grounded [5].” Most of theprograms that aim to teach cultural intelligence to engineering students opt for some form ofinternational travel, despite the challenges that it represents [4]. Although most of theseprograms do not focus solely on global engineering practices, they present unique learningopportunities that allow engineering students to experience some of the global challenges ahead.When properly conceived and

Figure 5 - average or “overall” engineering identity [15, Figs. 2, 5]. The authors reference the engineering identity as an ‘average’ in place of “overall” engineering identity. Instrument and interview (Kate & Dan) convergences: From the interviews, we found some student-reported experiences aligned with what was reported in the literature. Both participants identify an engineer as having a hard work ethic. This hard- working identity is reinforced by the high score of performance/competence on the engineering identity instrument. As reported by Godwin and Lee [15], a high score for this measure indicates having strong performance/competence beliefs or the self-beliefs to perform well and understand concepts in
professional and careerdevelopment, such as professional guest speaker presentations, career development activitiesoffered through university student support centers, and publishing their work in undergraduateacademic forums. Coupled with these activities, participants were enrolled in at least three of theCollege of Engineering and Technology’s project-based learning (PBL) courses, starting at thejunior level. The PBL sequence included the following courses: ENGR 350 - Engineering Practices and Principles III - Engineering project-based learning (open-ended) with emphasis on project control and engineering design processes.

Studies have found that womenwho persist in engineering describe themselves as having an engineering identity [1]. Accordingto Faulkner, however, the normative engineering culture tends to make working relationshipseasier for men than women, and women are “visible as women, yet invisible as engineers” [2, p.169]. This

In addition, every field tends todefine creativity differently as it relates to that field, but most people view creativity as highlyvaluable [9].Creativity in Engineering. Creativity is increasingly essential to engineering. It is listed as thethird most important skill for an engineer to have [10]. The core of engineering is to solve real-world problems. In order to do this, engineers have to apply scientific principles in creative waysto develop effective and efficient solutions [11]. The problems we face today are becoming morecomplex as technology advances, therefore the solutions to these problems are required to bemore creative [12, 13

On the simplest level, this may take the form of asking students what content was unclearat the end of a lecture, and sharing responsibility for the learning of the material by spending afew minutes clarifying those concepts before the period ends. An examination of the function of content suggests that it is ethical to teach less contentin favor of spending a small portion of student energy on self-reflection, helping them to developas learners. When tangential conversations occur about the applications and implications ofcontent in a lecture, instructors recognize these conversations for the valuable learning momentsthat they are, while
