That support was essential to theprogram’s development and implementation.Institutional mission and contextThe vision for this program is rooted in the Jesuit mission of the institution, which names “thedevelopment of leadership expressed in service to others…for the common benefit of the humancommunity” as one of its four pillars.[6] In addition, the charisms found in the Jesuit’s historyvalue educating the whole person – mind and heart. The call for the type of engineer and leaderthe university hopes to graduate is clear. As a result, the models of leadership chosen to guidethe program and student participants are rooted in this

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Thinking Entrepreneurially about Your CareerAbstractThis Work-in-Progress paper outlines an approach that a faculty member can utilize to takeownership of their career. Although many full-time faculty, whether mid-career, tenure-track, ornontenure-track, do not think of themselves as entrepreneurial, it is imperative that one isentrepreneurially minded (EM) to succeed in academia. The tasks that a faculty membercompletes each day: teaching, obtaining research dollars, managing and recruiting students
schedules arealready overloaded with ‘more important’ – usually more technical – assignments.Therefore, the intention was to trigger subtle, internally-induced change towards moreempathic, socially conscious, and ‘human-centred-designing-compatible’ mindsets in design,without having to go through the possible resistance and/or backlash from students.As studies show that Priming can facilitate such subtle, subconscious, internal change, andthat empathy can be induced by priming, we set out an intervention to check if we can ‘PrimeCivil Engineers into Human-Centred Designing’.About PrimingThe priming effect is an unconscious prompt that occurs as a result of a subtle, contextual cue(a prime) that activates an existing semantic association in the mind
-solving abilities—acritical skill in engineering science courses.School Life BalanceAdditionally, students communicated the value they assigned to having stability and order in theirlives as engineers, family members, athletes, hobbyists, etc. We defined School-Life Balance asresponses related to drawing boundaries between academic and personal life and working to findharmony between them. Here, it was important for students to make space for things they value sothat they could achieve personal fulfillment and satisfaction in their personal and academic lives.Students express that a healthy stability among multiple areas in their lives, they are able to enterthe academic space with a clear mind, improving their quality of learning.

Paper ID #18164Classroom Belonging and Student Performance in the Introductory Engi-neering ClassroomDr. Mark Schar, Stanford University The focus of Mark’s research can broadly be described as ”pivot thinking,” the cognitive aptitudes and abilities that encourage innovation, and the tension between design engineering and business management cognitive styles. To encourage these thinking patterns in young engineers, Mark has developed a Scenario Based Learning curriculum that attempts to blend core engineering concepts with selected business ideas. Mark is also researches empathy and mindfulness and its impact on gender

applicability of Tuckman’s model in student engineering multiculturalteams, several lessons are valuable for instructors to consider. Firstly, it is significant to providea welcoming and supportive learning space to allow student to learn in and with teams.Secondly, instructors could cultivate a positive environment, and growth-oriented and equity-minded protocols to acknowledge the possibility of team conflicts and prepare to suggest conflictresolution strategies. Similarly, instructors also want to encourage students to trust theirteammates and allow them to improve. Lastly, instructors could guide students to reflect on theirteamwork experiences to identify the areas to enhance and work on them. References

empathy as a skill in engineering. Hence the model has variousattributes of empathy that can be developed as a skillset. While it was not created with teacherempathy specifically in mind, it appears to be a framework that is flexible and adaptable enoughto apply to others including, for example, engineering faculty [1]. The model (Figure 1) iscreated with three dynamic and interdependent layers of empathy: the skills dimension, theorientation dimension, and the being dimension. The following sections elaborate on these threedimensions.

We developed a semi-structured focus group protocol to gain insightsinto the content, character, and complications associated with efforts to develop Research EngineerIdentity (REI) among graduate students in general and students from underrepresented groups inparticular. Before the focus groups began, we facilitated a “twenty statements test” to elicit the salience ofself-meanings associated with being a research engineer. Participants were asked to write down the firsttwenty things that came to mind in response to the following question: “As an engineer that conductsresearch, I am someone who…”. Next, we briefly informed participants about the overall goal of the study
mind a potentialexplanation. If women did feel threatened by stereotypes of women being less capable, theymight also avoid confirming the stereotype by avoiding saying no to tasks. Stereotype threat as aframe for these time-management challenges is also supported by its paradoxical nature: womenface more time management challenges perhaps because they try to avoid the stereotype of beingless competent.These scenarios also bring to mind these questions: How valued is the engineering woman’stime? How hard do these women have to work to prove their value? The previous research intothe engineering workplace would suggest that women must work harder to prove the value oftheir work if engineering is seen as “gender inauthentic.” Another way to frame

developed as a technique to use with groups[15]. In practice, “brainstorming” refers to anymethod of idea generation where groups or individuals are instructed to generate as many differentideas as possible[21]. Engineering instructors, in many cases, encourage their students to generateideas using “brainstorming,” but may not provide students with specific instruction on how toexecute it (following Osborn). Instead, the term may be used to suggest a “natural” approach tothinking of ideas, pursuing whatever comes to mind in the moment. The expectation is often thatideas should arise without using any cognitive strategy, and without any instructions on how toideate successfully. This lack of instruction often prevents novice engineers from

Her family owned a restaurant in Mexico and they needed the stove as soon as possible. To solve this problem, Laura and her family designed a stove made out of inexpensive raw materials, including adobe, empty coffee and soup cans, barro (a mixture of clay materials), and a pipe. They also repurposed an antique washing machine, called chaca-chaca (as it is commonly known in Mexico for the sound it makes during the washing cycle), by disassembling it and using

Engineering students in an academic setting do not have the environment, theresponsibilities, the demands or the interactions with other members of an engineering team,nor do they face the real-life situations and challenges that a practicing engineer faces everyday.
