In someinstitutions, this service involvement has fueled the creation of courses and programs thatoffer Learning Through Service (LTS) which seems to attract a wider range of students toengineering. A growing body of evidence advocates that LTS may provide significantadvantages to engineering students, but studies to date are quite limited.11-15 Asuniversities play catch-up to these trends, a fundamental question remains unexplored:What motivates engineering students to be engaged in service?2. ObjectivesThis paper presents findings to the above question of student motivation from two LTSprograms at Michigan Technological University: (1) iDesign, an international senior-level capstone design program, and (2) Peace Corp Master s International
events.Student recruitment and selectionThe REU Site was advertised via typical channels, including a program website, flyer circulatedto appropriate listservs and faculty connections, and social media. A single application portalwas used for the Site, with applicants selecting the campuses for which they would like to beconsidered. Applications were considered complete if they included an application form,personal statement, unofficial transcript(s), and at least one letter of recommendation.Applicant review occurred in two phases: initial screening and PI/mentor review. During theinitial screening, personal statements and recommendation letters were read by the screeningcommittee and scored via a shared rubric. The screening committee was comprised of
their creativity. Someworry about bringing a solution to life due to their little engineering experience so far. In week 2,there is a dip in motivation. Most students again find teamwork and discussion helpful. Somecomment heated discussion within their team and difficulty reaching consensus. During week 3,there is an increase in motivation. Many say they enjoy the hands-on rapid prototyping activity.Week 4’s planning activity such as coming up with a materials list gets some students excited.After week 5’s proposal presentation, many students comment that they find sharing their ideasand seeing other students’ ideas interesting. Week 6 is the first construction and testing week.There is a spike in student motivation. Many students share that

Multidisciplinary Engineering Programs Accredited by ABETAs background, Farison and Newberry (2003) previously reported on accredited Engineering and EngineeringScience programs, and explored related historical trends to provide a macro-level perspective of such programs[4-5]. However, only Engineering (sometimes called General Engineering) and Engineering Science(s)programs were considered. From a micro perspective, these general engineering programs varied frominstitution to institution in curricular and student

Many of the NCA factors aremalleable, so understanding these patterns is a crucial step towards introducing initiatives in theclassroom to help students reach their full potential. The

believethat our modules had a greater impact on those students who were newer to computationalthinking, over those who had prior experience and were enrolled in upper-level computationalcourses.1 IntroductionAccording to Wing, Computational Thinking (CT) is the thought processes involved informulating a problem and expressing its solution(s) in such a way that an information processor– human or machine – can effectively carry out that solution [1]. The educational philosophybehind Computational Thinking is that problems in every discipline can be solved by the tools ofcomputation such as algorithmic thinking, decomposition, abstraction, pattern recognition. Forinstance, one of the pillars of computational thinking is algorithmic thinking
