Typically,these courses are chosen because about 30% of students earn a D, F, or W.

Although there are many advantages to this dual degree program, there are still somedrawbacks as well. The major drawback is from an institutional side and is related to one of thestudent advantages. Students never see bills from the secondary university. Everything is sentthrough the business offices between the two schools. The communication between these officescan be difficult at times, and sometimes students will get lost in the shuffle. Those bills end upnot being paid and billed

The expectation of theSafeChE initiative is that these real-world case studies will show students howknowledge they are obtaining in their current class can be applied to safety within afuture career in industry. Also, since the CSB investigates incidents within the UnitedStates, some of our domestic students may study an incident that occurred “close tohome”.Another aspect

Both mentors and mentees can utilize these resources during the mentoring process.Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, the mentorship used to happen face-to-face but was then shiftedto virtual meetings.

Autoethnographies allow for the first-hand examination of researchers’ experiences [31]. Others in engineering education have usedsimilar approaches to share experiences as graduate students (e.g., [32]), instructors (e.g., [33])and early career faculty (e.g., [34]). As researchers in these informal learning spaces, we werefascinated by the past work of others and interested in understanding the similarities anddifferences between our lived experiences in informal STEM learning spaces. Our goal was togenerate recommendations for others interested in working in this
attribute emphasized by industries and businessesfor a successful career in STEM fields. Nevertheless, the current scenario is that students inSTEM fields, with their increased demand for more specialized skills in fewer credit hourscombined with a lack of emphasis on writing from engineering faculty members, makeaddressing this need difficult. In addition, students in engineering fields often do not valuewriting skills and underestimate the amount of writing they will do in their careers. Hence, it isessential to understand and quantify the level of writing skills STEM students exhibit in theirtechnical courses so that mitigation efforts can be designed using commonly available resourcesto enhance this important skillset among the students

For example, the University of Colorado Boulder’sSkills for Success program assists students in recognizing skills they have and in learning skillsthat they lack [5], and the University of Minnesota’s Office for Student Affairs has adoptedStudent Development Outcomes that go beyond typical program outcomes and help preparestudents to be “engaged and effective citizens.”Within the context of engineering colleges, we find numerous models on how they develop theirstudents’ non-technical skills, three of which are frequently referenced in the literature.

Additionally, STEM fields,particularly engineering, lack diversity with female students and students of colorunderrepresented in STEM majors and STEM careers. For example, while 25% of the U.S.population are people of color, this group only constitutes 11% of STEM professionals.Similarly, people of color represent 27
with a desire to dosomething positive about it. Regarding compassion within the context of service-learning (SL) andthe development of engineers generally, we ask: 1. Does the use of service-learning, development engineering experiences increase compassion in engineering students towards those for whom the design should benefit? 2. Does the use of these types of experiences increase professionalism and quality of effort in engineering students? 3. Do any potential gains in engineering student compassion and quality seem likely to continue into their careers?Previous work on compassion’s role in engineering service-learningThere have been many service-learning projects in engineering, as the discipline lends
solving opportunities versus traditional lecturing.For biomedical engineers (BME), the importance often holds greater weight given the nature ofthe field. As evidenced from the BME Council of Chairs meeting in 2019, academic surveyparticipants ranked statistics at the top of the list for importance to the career paths for BMEstudents [3]. Thus, it is critical for students to receive adequate statistics training and experiencein their undergraduate curriculum with focus on relevant applications. However, training inbiostatistics varies greatly from program to program. It can range from small elementsincorporated within multiple courses throughout a curriculum to full stand-alone statisticscourses or a combination. An evaluation of available degree

With regards to inclusive pedagogy, the department faculty were encouraged to developrelevant examples for students’ career developments. These examples addressed diversity from aglobal perspective as well as domestic issues of inequality. With the grant approaching its end,there was increased efforts to make sustainable change within the whole university. Withbacking from the grant, faculty members received internal funds that focused on the develop ofinclusive pedagogy. This occurred twice during the lifetime of the

Research conducted by [5] revealed that using astrategy known as a systematic way helps to increase the problem-solving and thinking capabilityof graduate students. This study also showed that after studying theoretical approaches and alsotheir possible implementation, students showed a considerable increase in systematic thinking aftera semester.
