However, a systematic process to explicitly define a hierarchy of needswith dependencies and priorities spanning the technical and non-technical components of anengineering program may not be well understood by a program’s stakeholders.Research is needed for a better understanding of and a methodological process for assessing thejudgments of stakeholders in the interdependent system of educational institutions, students, andconsumers of graduates, if a graduate-level industrial

Thisinformal portion of the presentation has been very well received. The key to effectively reaching a diverseaudience is to have the panel include people the audience can relate to. This means the panel should be diverseby gender, ethnic background, discipline and future career plans. Having a faculty member available is alsovery helpful during the questioning. The panel members stay after the presentation to answer questionsindividually and offer a personal touch which makes the audience more comfortable

, female students reported much less interest in pursuing a career in the Navy andcompleting the certificate program than male students.These results may be interpreted as the students thinking more critically about their willingnessto commit to a decision as the object of the decision becomes more concrete. Whereas there isno cost to possessing an interest in naval S&T challenges faced by the Navy, most studentswould need to make a decision on completing the certificate program within about a year ofcompleting the survey in order to avoid graduation delays, and it would be too late for somestudents that completed the survey. Nevertheless, the level of interest suggests that other barriersto participation may exist, which may be mitigated

Just as the BMC implies that there is no one way to start asuccessful business, there is no one way to be a successful faculty member. Several design principles from 1the BMC were used. First, a canvas is a single page, with large blank spaces that invite exploration andflexibility.

Student tours are given daily oncampus and when a student is interested in architecture or architectural engineering, they visitthe school for a personalized tour. Each faculty member at the school is assigned a week duringthe semester to meet with interested students.Other comments noted other outside influences: growing up around construction, placementtests, visiting siblings in college, legos and other building toys, and, surprisingly, pop culture inthe form of a television character who is an architect.Bibliography:Archer, L., DeWitt, J

For example, rather than survey items aimed at subjective norms and attitudes – themain constructs in the TRA [52], [53] – an RAA-based questionnaire would attempt to delineatebetween the many beliefs and factors pertinent to the doctoral process, like career goals,encouragement from family, friends, and faculty, and STEM identification [54].The scarcity of inquiries in engineering education research adopting the RAA may be attributedto its relative novelty or the frequent reuse of established behavioral theories within the

A student in Computer Technology is looking atthe tool he/she will use and create as an IS professional, and a management major is looking atunderstanding what tools he/she can use in decision making.

Many other studies explore the topic of teaching decision-making, with some focusingon having instructors adopt certain classroom approaches (Jarvie-Eggart et al., 2021; Moore etal., 2015).
