Our initial resultsshow that conative understanding increases satisfaction and confidence, which we hypothesizewill lead to improved retention. This paper summarizes the conative interventions in engineering,the research methods, and preliminary results.IntroductionIn engineering advanced cognitive skills are highly valued and consistently rewarded. However,the mind consists of three separate domains: cognitive, affective and conative (Hilgard 1980 andTallon 1997). By focusing only on one of the three, students who don’t fit the typical mold mayfeel marginalized and discouraged from completing an engineering degree. We suspect that byexploring this idea we may

Throughout each unit, youth are introduced to engineering practices andhabits of mind through an Engineering Design Process (EDP), which they use as a guide whileworking in small groups to design a solution to an engineering challenge. The EDP begins withidentifying a problem that needs to be solved and investigating what has already been done.Next, engineers imagine different

As per the AllIndia Council of Technical Education (AICTE) report of 2012-13, it has 3,384 colleges admitting1.63 Million students1. The system has almost no attrition and is graduating more or less theentire intake. The study of Blom and Saeki2 shows that 64% of employers are only somewhatsatisfied or worse with the current engineering graduate skills. Earlier, NASSCOM andMcKinsey report (2005)3 had found that 75% of engineering graduates are not employable bymultinational companies. A recent report by Aspiring Mind found that there is a drop inemployability in all roles and at all locations. It has noted that the decrease in employability

Possibly, administrators keep this imbalance in mind as universities enroll farmore students in their freshman engineering courses than will graduate from these programs.Despite this, nearly all future projections call for an increase in the number of students trained inthe STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields, particularly engineering.Even with this growing spotlight, however, studies have still shown how the number of studentsentering college as STEM majors has actually declined in recent years.2 This issue of lowmatriculation combined with growing national attention thus results in a need to place higherpriority on the

However, depending on the approach there are inherent technical, cultural andpolitical limitations which can privilege students and teachers at the expense of the communitiesbeing served. 9 With that in mind, we note that analysis of practices such as service learning showpositive effects on students’ attitudes, social behavior, and academic performance. 10 As such,finding the most effective means by which these topics and pedagogical approaches can beintegrated into the engineering curriculum has the
