power utility as they began new jobs. The study is based on an inductive,qualitative design using semi-structured interviews with 12 newly hired engineers.A major milestone in the professional formation of engineers is the transition from student topractitioner—typically via employment into commercial/industrial organizations or other formsof employment [1]. Transitioning into a new job from school is an experience akin to crossing adistinct cultural boundary requiring one to transfer and/or translate one’s current knowledge andskills and learn new knowledge and skills [2]. For engineers transitioning from one engineeringjob to another the experience requires learning new cultural, social, political, and practical normswhich vary more or less

A bruteforce approach to tutoring learners with mastering a knowledge domain is also described. Theresults of student node tracking are also reported.Constructivist theory of education is to assist students with the construction of their ownunderstanding of a knowledge domain. Bruner [1] considered knowledge of a domain to beembedded in a structure and “grasping the structure of a subject is understanding it in a way thatpermits many other things to be related to it meaningfully. To learn structure, in short, is to learnhow things are related.” As stated by Montfort, et al. [2] these structures are

underlying goal of this work is to combine thetraditional knowledge-based curriculum with skills-based experiences to broaden students’horizons, while helping them develop transferable knowledge and skills. Skills-based learningalso opens up opportunities for hands-on learning in which experimentation plays a key role –also known as Experiment Centric Pedagogy. This is based on the idea that engineeringeducation should have plenty of activities that enable students to act like engineers.IntroductionEmerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), Augmentedand Virtual Reality (AR and VR), and Autonomous Vehicles, among many others, haveincreased the global demand for skilled workers [1].

They allow studentsto focus on the structure and logic of a program independent of the particulars of syntax.

Thus, most of such work has been spearheaded by administrative groups such asdepartments of Diversity and Inclusion and Gender Studies who typically seek to promote equitythrough changes to broader institutional culture [2-4]. Student classroom experiences, however,remain relatively neglected and thus such efforts rarely inspire STEM faculty buy-in.Consequently, students from historically underrepresented groups, especially students perceivedto have lower social capital than their peers, may still face disparities in their classroomexperiences, disparities that may include

In fact, engineering students outside of computer and electrical engineering may notrealize the value of computer programming skills until after they have graduated and advanced intheir career [1]. Failure to find value in computer programming may have negative consequencesfor learning. Indeed, engineering students who do not view programming as interesting or usefulshow poorer performance on tests of programming concepts than students who do [2]. This findingis consistent with theories of technology acceptance [3-4] that emphasize perceived usefulness
