Students who choose foreignlanguages and professional translation are communicative, conforming and the leastconservative. Students with critical thinking and low conformism study law. Thus theirindividual traits correspond their minor. Additional professional education of engineering students is per se an exclusivepossibility for the top students to increase their marketabitity and to realize their personalpotential in the future engineering career.

these skills during introductory coursework must “catch up” in later courses,where the technical content is more challenging. We hypothesize this can lead to unpreparednessfor challenging content or careers as an engineer and can negatively impact academic standing,leading to decreased retention. Thus, the goals of this work were to 1) improve retention rates forfirst-year engineering students, specifically mechanical engineering, and 2) improvecomputational and software skills of first-year students, specifically MATLAB and MicrosoftExcel.MATLAB is a common computational package which can be used for a broad range ofengineering problems throughout a curriculum [2]. However, learning Excel and MATLABthrough lecture is challenging, as these

Criteria identified for teamwork require students to functioneffectively as a member of an intra-disciplinary team. This cognitive level of achievementsatisfies the learning criteria threshold for Bloom’s Taxonomy 3, Application, as students woulddemonstrate an ability to apply learned concepts in familiar and unfamiliar situations.This paper describes teamwork activities occurring within the civil engineering curriculum atThe Citadel that map to assessment of the Department’s adopted teamwork outcome.

Mentoring hasbeen identified as an essential component to offer support, guidance and encouragement toachieve tenure and promotion. Mentors have a positive impact on women's self-esteem, jobsatisfaction and work-life balance [31]. Furthermore, mentoring can prove to be especiallybeneficial to mid-career faculty, who have attained the associate rank but lack the support,resources and encouragement required to get to the rank of full professor [20], [21], [22], [32

One research study conductedhighlighted that many college students have anxiety when it comes to solving simple additionand subtraction problems. Within this study, the researcher noted that research participants hadvarying emotions when responding to given math problems ranging from sadness to happiness[1]. The goal of this study was to examine math anxiety in varying scenarios, not solelyacademic related. Participants of Ashcraft’s [1] study had to determine whether a mathematicalstatement was accurate. Higher levels of math anxiety resulted in an increase of errors whilelower levels of math anxiety resulted in a decrease of mistakes

One style of mentorship that is commonly used with undergraduate students ishaving a professor or faculty member as a mentor. These faculty mentor relationships haveconsistently been shown to have a positive correlation with grade point average and overallundergraduate academic success [11]. Furthermore, informal student-faculty interactions havebeen discovered to have a distinct effect on the attitudes and interests of the student and has beenshown to enhance a student’s learning experience and satisfaction with an institution [12].
