Adoption Among FacultyDuring the current 4th industrial revolution, technology is changing at an ever increasing pace[1]. Thus, it is essential that engineering educators continually adopt and teach new engineeringtechnologies to both keep the technologies used in engineering coursework relevant for graduatesentering industry, as well as to model lifelong learning for their students. In fact, ABET requiresfaculty to teach relevant tools for modern engineering, as well as equip students with life-longlearning skills [2]. However, the time restrictions on faculty are well documented [3 - 4] and canmake learning new technologies challenging.This poster summarizes the preliminary results of an NSF project funded through the Directoratefor Engineering

Pre/post surveys and focus group interviews were conducted tocollect data from participants. Students strongly indicated that the program was an importantbridge between their undergraduate and graduate careers and that important knowledge, skills,and interests were developed as a result. One of the main self-perceived deficiencies of studentsentering the program was technical communication, and gains were achieved in this area bystructuring biweekly program-wide meetings around developing relevant skills.

Yetdecades of research have demonstrated that transfer of problem-solving strategies rarely happens spontaneously, and ishard to teach [4,13]. In the current project, we propose to address the transfer challenge by focusing on students’ roleidentity and motivation: the complex processes that underlie students’ decision to transfer and enact certain actionslearned in a previous role (e.g., Biodesign student) in a new role (e.g., capstone student).The Motivation to Transfer: The literature on student motivation includes numerous theories and multiple concepts thatdiffer in their emphasis on and interplay of different personal characteristics (e.g., grit, growth
