cousin that's went to, uh. She, she's just been older than me and I was asking her like what was gonna be required of me in college and stuff and like, s-s-simple things like that. But then I would also ask my aunts and uncles because they have close ties to [Four-Year Institution] so I was […] already sure that I was going to [Four-Year Institution]. – CalebAnother example of this shown when Robin, a participant from a four-year institution focusgroup, is discussing her great-aunt. Robin mentions how this relative influenced her to go tocollege and encouraged her to do well in school. My great-aunt [is] amazing. Uh, she um, was a really big influence on me coming to [public university] because this is

Someflipped classroom experiments show no significant gains between a section employing a

WHY do engineers need to be proficient at communicating through writing, orally, and graphically? 2. What skill(s) do you think you need to work on most and WHY?Results and DiscussionsQuantitative ResultsThe quantitative results are summarized in Table 2 for better comparison. The results of thesurvey, regardless of the type of the communication, show a meaningful positive change in thelevel of the students’ confidence in each category at the end of the semester, with the largestchange belonging to the graphical communication.

The next step in this research is to expand the analysis to include additionalsemesters, include non-common questions which have similar classifications, examine non-academic factors (e.g., level of class participation) which may also impact performance, and toultimately develop intervening protocols to improve the overall performance of all students.References[1] Demel, J., “Bringing About Marked Increases In Freshman Engineering Retention,” Proceedings of the 2002FIE Annual Conference, Montreal, Canada.,2002.[2] Choate, L.

theworkforce [6]. There are many explanations of individual excellence and entrepreneurialmindset [7,8, 9] and multiple studies about engineering students [10,11,12] with an emphasison a high need for achievement and potential for break-through innovation [13]. Since the late1990’s engineers and designers have been exploring moods and feelings and their connectionto better solutions [14]. And while research links entrepreneurial status to personality theory[15] and personality to leadership [16], few studies focus on the impact of emotion oninnovative success. This paper aims to begin filling that gap with a preliminary experiment toshow how students experience a story of innovation. The experiment is inspired by Radcliffe President Mattina

Using data from Taiwan, Lin and Chiu [10]found that postdoc training is associated with higher likelihood of maintaining an academicresearch career for engineering PhDs. Using data from Frances, Hanchane and Recotillet [9]found postdoc experience to be correlated with likelihood of a research career in science, but notin engineering fields. Andalib et al.’s [11] analysis of the NSF SDR data shows that compared toother STEM fields, engineering postdocs are particularly likely to leave the postdoc role beforeobtaining a tenure track position, and instead

similar to doodling is that of “sketchnoting”, wherein notes are either presented ortaken using a combination of drawings and words. Proponents [7], [8] of sketchnoting supportthe idea that the learning benefits of sketching and drawing are tied to the need for a person totranslate ideas from one format (words) to another (pictures).Perhaps the most comprehensive resource related to the above, and this current paper, is thebook, The Doodle Revolution by S, Brown [9], which discusses the concept of the “Infodoodle”.An Infodoodle is a simple drawing that is created with the purpose of capturing and conveyinginformation.
