performance is one of many reasons why students drop out ofSTEM career programs [22]. Aside from transfer students who may experience high stress due tochanging school cultures, students who perform poorly on initial exams may suffer from poorself-esteem and doubt their ability to succeed in engineering. Such self-doubt may result inemotional disengagement with learning tasks. Disengaged and poor-performing students areoften at risk of withdrawing from engineering courses, such as statics, that they deem to becognitively challenging. Because resilience is particularly relevant for students who experienceinitial poor performance, we will study the resilience/academic performance relationships ofstudents who struggle initially in statics and either

Augmenting instructor experiencewith appropriate Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to guest lecture on particular topics (e.g., UserExperience and User Interface Design, iOS, JavaScript) has proven valuable, both for theexperience such SMEs can provide, but also for students still learning about the wide variety ofengineering and software development careers available.The complexity added by a hardware component creates additional complexity for a course ofthis nature.

It isbetter to learn this axiom early, rather than late, in an engineering career. Engineering studentsare reminded of this throughout the course.The engineering-ethics guidance provided to students in the course may be summarized in thefour practical points below. 1.

, Competencies, and Trust Measured in Student SurveysAbstractAerospace engineering students at the Florida Institute of Technology are required to complete a3-semester capstone design project. In their junior year students propose topics, form teams, andwrite a proposal for their senior project, then as seniors they complete preliminary and detaileddesign, then fabricate and test their system. Their efforts culminate in a Student DesignShowcase, where industry participants judge the final projects. Many students identify thecapstone design project as the most significant event in their academic career.

The purpose of STEP is to provide incoming College of Engineering (CoE) students(1) an opportunity to become familiar with the university community prior to the start of theiracademic career, (2) academic enrichment in subjects known to be historically difficult for first-year students at the particular university, and (3) opportunities for personal and professionaldevelopment. STEP participants take courses in chemistry (lecture + lab), calculus, andengineering fundamentals.STEP 2016 consisted of 63 incoming first-year students accepted to the CoE.

tends to focus almostexclusively on distinctive professional responsibilities – that is to say, ethical issues that arecommonly presented by the immediate practice of the work typical of each. For undergraduates,this is professional ethics in an industrial or consulting context.1 For graduate students, whosetraining is preparation for a career in research, this is typically research ethics, implicitly in anacademic context.2 Thus, both construe the responsibilities of the engineer relatively narrowly.In particular, the concerns of each taper dramatically as the borders of the immediate work siteare crossed. While some focus is of course necessary and appropriate, the present narrowness hasarguably become unhealthily myopic, particularly

A previous researchproject investigated documentation methods using a variety of media with rising high schooljuniors in a summer session of a college preparatory program [1]. That study revealed thatalthough students had design

This occurs wheneconomic news shows how global competition, downsizing, decentralization, re-engineering,mergers, and new technologies have made careers more complex and uncertain for graduatesfrom all sectors [5,6]. In this context, political, economic and academic leaders conceiveentrepreneurship as one

To use a spoon, the person may need to like the color; and the material ofthe blade must be strong enough for an endurance task. Because design decisions areconsequential, undergraduate engineering programs have a responsibility to prepare students asdecision makers.Capstone design courses allow undergraduate engineering students to experience open-endeddesign projects before starting their professional careers. As such, capstone serves as anopportunity to develop students’ ability to make decisions in an ill-structured setting. Typically,explicit instruction related to decision making includes an introduction to rationalistic tools, suchas decision

Foundationalmoments came from undergraduate and graduate pressures, recognition that there was a dearth ofequity in engineering, as well as connections made at nascent stages during their career.

They then assembled the components into the raceway (Fig. 5), againfollowing a schematic.

They then monitored the use ofthe tables on site to check for efficiency and to collect feedback.Because of the great mix of student backgrounds, the instructor relied on his parallel career as asuccessful youth soccer coach whose philosophy was that “there’s a place on the soccer field forevery player.” As an administrator, he has

highlighted that it allowed them to immediately apply what they were learning tosolving simple problems: “I used the practice system every time it was available, because being able to personally use the commands, and having to think about how they were used ahead of time definitely gave me a fuller understanding of how to use the commands involved than just watching someone else use them in the videos.” “The practice app was very useful and I responded well to the hands-on learning strategy. Part of what drew me to engineering as a major and a career is that I learn best while doing. The practice app had a good balance of reading information and applying concepts.”Another benefit students identified was
