Given the smallnumber of women in the computing programs and the number of those students who participatedin the initiatives, the number of potential respondents was low. Future work includes addingqualitative analysis to the research considering the small number of participants in the study.Additionally, this study did not look to identify the impact of each initiative individually, andthereby can be a limitation. However, this study investigated the initiatives in aggregate. Theresults of this study support [12]’s assertion for the need of multi-pronged institutionalapproaches to

For each UDL feature, instructors rated their experience (novice toexpert) on the feature and the usefulness of the feature for their students.

qualitative data using various coding methods. Two research team members readthe reflections and compared results. One researcher read reflections sequentially by student bycategory and identified salient patterns across participants. For example, Reflection 1 fromStudent 1 in the top 10% increase category was read first, followed by Student 1’s Reflections 2and 3. Then, Reflection 1 from Student 2 in the top 10% increase category was read, and so on.A second researcher read each reflection to determine similarities and differences incharacteristics and analyze patterns across reflections. This research team member readreflections as they were written chronologically within each category. All Reflection 1 samplesin the 10% increase category were read

Thus asserting the view thatengineering faculty “with practical experience under their belt” would, in general,make better teachers. Administrator (deans, chairs, and decision makers in general)should investigate ways for helping new faculty members gain industrial experienceby spending a semester on-site at a cooperating industry, using summer release timeto work within industry, or allow for a dual appointment, say fifty-fifty, i.e., fiftypercent of faculty time at the College and the other fifty percent at an industry nearby.Perhaps the legal and organizational

Using incentives to encourageyoung faculty to increase their commitment to teaching may help, but continuing tohire new faculty whose primary emphasis and interests is in research, inevitably doesreinforce existing cultural norms that favor research over teaching.Facilitate and Support Faculty in Acquiring Relevant Practical Experience:Encourage faculty members, particularly the young, to get involved with the practicein their locale, and devise equitable system(s) that allow faculty to gain theengineering experience they desperately need, in order to keep up with newdevelopments in their areas of specialization.

Engineering self-efficacy is emerging as a usefultheory in evaluating the confidence of students to pursue engineering related professions and theconfidence of teachers to teach engineering related content. In particular, Faber et al. [5] andYoon et al. [18] developed the Student Attitudes toward STEM (S-STEM) survey and TeachingEngineering Self-Efficacy Scale (TESS) survey, respectively. Such surveys used in conjunctionwith outreach activities may help allocate time and resources to more influential activities. In summary, the literature provides valuable information about engineering education inK-12, including typical types of program offerings, what has been most effective, andsuggestions for assessment to help evaluate the

opportunities.IntroductionMost universities use a capstone senior design course(s) to address ABET’s General Criterion 5which states “students must be prepared for engineering practice through a curriculumculminating in a major design experience” [1]. These programs likely use the capstone course(s)to assess at least some combination of ABET Student Outcomes 3b (design and conductexperiments, analyze and interpret data), 3d (function on multidisciplinary teams), 3e (identify,formulate, and solve engineering problems), and 3g (communicate effectively) [1]. In theory,the benefits students gain through exposure to such an experience and the advantages facultyhave in using the experience for assessment are substantial and well-documented. However,students who have never

When combined with an in-depth understanding of the structure, the creation processbecomes more precise. Furthermore, this program is currently the industry standard, much likeAutoCAD was when it arose in the 1980’s; it has become the design standard and a larger part ofthe Building Information Modeling (BIM) movement within the construction industry and so ifany adjustments had to be made to the actual building, multiple firms could use the files toinform the changes. This also allows for the opportunity to test certain conditions, such as anychanges to be made and determine their impacts within the software prior to construction.Finally, Revit
substantial qualification in engineering education pedagogy.Our assertion is that the USA should not risk being left behind, and thus it is imperative that awider cohort of early career engineering educators should acquire substantial pedagogical andeducational training during their initial year(s) of teaching. “Pedagogy” being taken to meaninstructional techniques, and “educational” to encompass the curriculum and the philosophiesthat underpin pedagogies. Four propositions support this view: 1. Assuming that teaching is a professional activity, it is incumbent on a professional to be aware of the knowledge that constructs the activity and act therein taking into account the evidence available. 2. Without such knowledge it is difficult
