Overall, we have noted that smartness is a function of the context inwhich it is constructed, and the context of each pathway is of importance in understanding howstudents construct their identities. As such, this finding is being further explored acrosspathways, and a conceptual model of smartness identity is in progress to help us further explorethis finding.Future WorkFuture work will consist of the full analysis of the second and third rounds of interviews alongwith a more in-depth exploration of

semester.Background on Problem Being AddressedIn the first-year engineering program at Vanderbilt University, students take a three-credit coursein the fall of the first year called Introduction to Engineering. The Introduction to Engineeringcourse is broken into three modules, each consisting of 14 sections. Because the program aspiresto preview what students can expect to learn in each major and the possible career paths thatcould follow, students are encouraged to explore modules that align with their interests or thatfall outside of their previous experiences.While the design of each course section reflects the expertise and interests of the individualinstructor who leads it, most sections include problem-based learning opportunities and someform of

as to thecontent of their coursework and neither of these goals are easily met in large-format courses thatserve all majors [6].Students desire a community of peers and faculty as well as a sense of belonging [7] within theirmajor. Belonging can be developed in many ways, but a core piece of belonging is knowing whatyou belong to. When students understand what they are studying, they can connect their input(academic effort) to an output (degree attainment, career) that reflects their values and self-identity now and, in the future, [8]. A large contributing factor to programs not being able to helpstudents make connections is a lack of major-specific courses available where students can findand spend structured time with peers/faculty in

Giving students the opportunityduring their education to recognize the wider social and ethical impacts of the profession - throughmultimedia simulation, role-playing games, case-based learning, and review of other, fictionalizedcases - can give them opportunities to reflect on the need to identify complex situations in futuresettings, as well as a safe environment in which to explore, make mistakes, and discuss theramifications of various decisions in authentic contexts.

. 1Literature reviewIn recent years, academic libraries have reported a major shift in focus towardsscholarly communications and research management services [1]. Craft and Harlow [2]observed increased requests from graduate students for scholarly communicationstraining in a variety of topics, with the top choices being “publishing tips” and“post-dissertation publishing” [3]. This demand for training reflects the need amongstudents for guidance in navigating the publication process. Many doctoral programs,especially in the sciences and engineering, require students to publish in order tograduate. As relative novices in the complicated, often opaque arena of academicpublishing, many of these students struggle with the task and would benefit fromguidance

The module originally used multiple techniques (i.e., probes and test strips) to test thequality of various water sources, including a creek running through campus. The virtual modulealso tested water quality, but each student chose a water source near them and results werecompiled and compared for different samples across the country. While both versions (in-personand virtual) included an interactive lesson on water quality and treatment
