you get a job.” Dan finds success is developed by continually applying yourself.- “Success is not something that is learned. Certainly developed if you’re continually applying yourself… Kind of approaching your engineering studies with that attitude [of continually applying yourself] and then being goal-driven… You shouldn’t have dreams. You should have goals. It's just very much the sort of logic that I think the engineering world or the engineering profession would appreciate is always having these goals in mind.” –Dan Dan conveys how the engineering degree serves the purpose of demonstrating you're competent. For Dan engineering is the way he can make money and support his family. Further, Dan voices

With this guidingframework in mind, the purpose of this qualitative research study was to use Bolman and Deal’s(1991) Four Frames model to further the understanding of how first- and second-year chemicalengineering students understand their role in a large, public research-intensive university in theMid-Atlantic United States. This study made use of the analysis of interview transcripts from tenchemical engineering students in each of their first two years of undergraduate study to addressthe following research questions: 1. How do first- and second-year chemical engineering students understand their role in their university as an organization? 2. In what

These skillsets are not only complementary to an engineering education [6], [7],but are critical to graduates’ adaptability on the job market.In this paper, we present a case study of Fulbright University Vietnam, a new, private, non-profituniversity in Ho Chi Minh City. Fulbright is inspired by American liberal arts traditions andoffers a liberal arts, sciences, and engineering education with Bachelor degrees awarded afterfour years of study.

With this in mind, the School of Biomedical Engineering at Colorado State Universitysought to improve the 100-level Introduction to Biomedical Engineering course (BIOM-101).This high enrollment (approximately 150 student) course is required for all undergraduatestudents pursuing a biomedical engineering major or minor and is typically taken the first fall ofenrollment in the degree program. The course has been offered every fall for the past seven yearsand, until 2016, was almost exclusively lecture-based with little to no formalized in-class peer-to-peer interaction.

Surveys are commonly used inqualitative research within engineering education to assess participants through the use of openended questions52. The open ended questions seek to gain a greater insight into what componentsor features of the OWLS helped the students to learn most effectively, or which componentswere not effective in the minds of the students. For example, a question asks, “Was the OWLS avaluable tool for learning in this course? If so, how?” This question and others seek to explainthe reasons behind the trends that are observed in the

“educate” these workers as to the proper ways to do their work.From the perspective of Taylor, the notion of engineering is one “benevolently” doing thethinking for the worker while the worker obediently does it. Armanios then shows how thesedeleterious assumptions persist today with a Job Interests Survey. He asks the students what theyprefer in a job, and then asks them what they think blue collar workers prefer in a job. Invirtually every instance he has run the survey, while engineering students say they preferinteresting work that uses their mind, they assume, just like Taylor, that blue collar workers justcare about job security and wages. He then analyzes data from the General Social Survey [40] onjob preferences between white and blue

Theywere a heavy-gage galvanized hanger, with a cost less than $5.00 to provide one hanger to eachof the 33 students! Concrete materials were generously donated by the Civil Engineeringdepartment. Due to the small scale of the beams (4”x3”x16”) and the fact that students workedin groups of three ensured the material costs were so minimal, the Civil Engineering departmentdid not mind donating these materials.
