No online, asychronous alternative was available for thatactivity, so the instructor focused on the case study in EGR 193 instead. In future work, it mightbe interesting to consider how to extend the discussion of data ethics with the data collection andmanipulation tasks that many undergraduates find themselves engaging in as early researchassignments.AcknowledgementsWe are grateful for the students and faculty who participate in undergraduate research and makethis high-impact experiential education opportunity available at Michigan State University(MSU).

ChoiceAbstract:This complete evidence-based practice paper explores the longitudinal impact of a first-yearengineering course designed to help students discern their future engineering major. The purposeof this study was to assess an engineering educational program’s effectiveness in helping studentsto make an informed selection of an engineering major. Effectiveness is relative and based onmeasures of student persistence and major changes after five semesters. The institution studied isa medium-sized Midwestern, urban public institution in which four cohort years were tracked.Two cohorts (2012 and 2013) took a one-credit hour large lecture (200+ students) course to learnabout the engineering majors offered and is contrasted with two cohorts (2014 and 2015

The final outcomefor the first semester is a design package, which will allow for the system to be built to print inthe second semester. The second semester focuses on enhancing the design

This project, usually completed in the senior year, is a design or research project in the student’s major area of study.Each project carries 9 credits, roughly one quarter of an academic year’s work. Each project hasa faculty advisor working closely with a small team of students (usually 2–4 but sometimes 1 ormore than 4).

IntroductionIn a review of recent research, Gaff reported in his article “The Disconnect Between GraduateEducation and Faculty Realities” that graduate students are not equipped for the faculty positionsthey accept and have little exposure to other career paths outside the academy 1. Graduatestudents reported not having enough information to help them choose or plan for a career. Oneresponse for this lack of information is the Preparing Future Faculty (PFF) program launched in1993 by the Association of American Colleges and Universities and the Council of GraduateSchools.
