achievement, persistenceand transfer status to four-year colleges and universities, and (c) how in turn the students’propensity for innovation and creative problem solving affects such choices and persistence. Thispaper presents on four years of a multistage research project funded by the National ScienceFoundation (NSF). The value of the study’s findings depends largely on an exploratory researchdesign, which analyzes the pedagogical practices—practices designed to foster successfultransfer from community college to four-year colleges and universities and how students’innovative capability influences such transfer capacity. The goals of this research are: (1) toexplore the pedagogical practices used to support non-traditional students in community

survey would have identified the areas where they have hadsubstantial benefits and where improvements could be made. However this has not beendone. This hindsight led to the development of a questionnaire that could be used in thefuture.1.IntroductionWhetton [1] rightly states that most important professing of a professor, involves histhoughtful choice of reading materials, assignments, activities and most of all learningobjectives. This is even more pronounced when the instructor has to choose few experimentsand a project from a wide variety of mechanical engineering applications. The choice has tobe further developed to meet the learning outcomes called the student outcomes defined byABET [2]. Outcomes are descriptions of the end product of

the KS2 survey may bedue to the timing closely coinciding with a project deadline. There may also have been somesurvey fatigue associated with the third administration of the survey. These two factors mightalso have negatively affected the time and effort invested by those students who did respond.Two additional observations are that there is a visibly stronger correlation for the highest-performing students and that the normalized survey score generally under-predicts the examresult for the lowest-performing students. Bell (2005) observed that higher-performing studentsappeared to be better at estimating their knowledge than lower-performing students and attributetwo explaining factors.1.

In classdiscussion and individual conversations, it was also clear that students could see thephilosophical connection between the bigger picture engineering decisions (e.g., moving towardindustrial automation) and social justice, though they clearly perceived a disconnect betweenthese more philosophical concepts and the details of the classroom activities.Since the fall 2014 semester was the first

Spinoza’s call for caution. Reason became a tool in the grip of evil. Here in the United States, President Truman either was unaware or ignored the pleas of O.C.Brewster, a talented engineer, who as a condition for working on the Manhattan Project hadreceived written assurance from Franklin Roosevelt that a demonstration nuclear bomb would bedropped first—as a warning—before actual use against a city. A petition18 from Leo Szilard,physicist, signed by 70 colleagues, had recommended a hold on atomic weaponry, but this wasignored by Secretary of War Henry Stimson, who said: “I think the bomb instead constitutesmerely a first step in a new control by man over the forces of nature too revolutionary anddangerous to fit into old concepts.” In fact

This, in turn, increases the potential for generating adesign solution that best meets a problem’s given constraints.The importance of ideation within the engineering design process is recognized equally in bothacademic and industrial settings9. The collaborative nature of engineering design is also well-established,9 with individuals of different personalities, technical backgrounds, and levels ofexperience coming together to meet shared design objectives. Following this real-world practice,engineering educators routinely put students in design teams to complete both simple andcomplex projects. However, in many cases, they do not consider the cognitive diversity amongthe students in

). In all, we intend from the findings of this study to generate a set of principles thatteachers can consider when they are creating learning environments in which their studentsengage in engineering. Teachers might engage students in socially-situated activities that aresimilar in purpose to those of engineers. Within this context, they can provide their students withdevelopmentally-appropriate genres that are similar to those engineers read; and they can modelfor their students how to evaluate those genres like engineers evaluate texts. On a pragmaticlevel, ultimately, we also intend for this project to result in instructional materials, including setsof texts for students and guiding teachers’ materials (e.g., discussion prompts) that might

If I’m working on non-disability-related projects, I feel it less salient and relevant to my research and will not disclose. However,in my current research area of exploring identity formation in undergraduate civil engineeringstudents who experience disability, I often feel the need to disclose my disability, particularly asa way to justify my interactions with participants and key themes that I pull from my data. While the decision to disclose may sound straightforward and steadfast, it can be quitecomplex, confusing, and risky.

This will give us a result for the area of this divider, as well as the critical path for thedivider implementation.

That iswhy their study of Whiteness never forgets who should be centered: those that Whiteness hurts,oppresses, and marginalizes [18]. We understand that the lack of Black, Indigenous, and Peopleof Color (BIPOC) in engineering (i.e., supply) is not due to incapability or lack of persistence;it’s further downriver to the demand side—a
