response to self-reported vulnerabilities and concerns of engineeringstudents. This paper presents data from practical efforts to identify and mitigate anxiety amongengineering students. A group of twenty-seven engineering and engineering technology studentswho were part of a scholarship program was asked to submit journal entries in which theyreflected on their fears and anxieties related to their participation in their degree program.Prominent themes which emerged from student reflection included time management and itseffects on academics and social activities, the likelihood of degree completion and success inengineering-specific coursework (e.g. senior capstone projects), and aspects of life followinggraduation such as handling accumulated

to real flows and structures.Digital signal processing also became accessible on PCs, transferring experimental techniquesfrom the research laboratories into the undergraduate curriculum. These capabilities enabledproject-oriented courses where students learned theory and applied it immediately to projects.We discovered that students could handle courses where several topics were learned in parallel,and where they created the “manuals” for their experiments. Project teams could interact throughthe computer. This was a far cry from the traditional model of undergraduates just beingobservers, or at best just operators following precise instructions.The capabilities demonstrated by 1993 were used to revamp the junior-level Low SpeedAerodynamics

The philosophy governing the program is tointroduce the students to key engineering concepts and applications in the first semester of theirfreshmen year; these concepts are then integrated throughout the courses in the core curriculumand extend into the respective concentrations leading up to the capstone design project. Thesubsequent courses build upon these concepts allowing the students to make insightfulconnections at each phase and follow the development of these concepts to a professional level.The program is established with the following mission statement and educational objectives [3

It isdifficult to see a generalized theme, but one might assume that a primary focus of the leadershipofferings is based on a belief that a graduating student can lead from any level in his/herorganization. Emphasis is placed on students exploring their own leadership abilities and theways in which they influence group outcomes: interpersonal skills, judgment, moral courage,innovation, sustainability, global collaboration and emotional intelligence appear as key topics,as does the notion of the interrelatedness of ethics and sustainability in a

Results indicate theyperceived to have a superior grasp of concepts after designing and implementing their ownexperiments.IntroductionThe ultimate objective of any academic program is for students to gain the ability to transferclassroom learning to practice, for which they will be required to construct and apply knowledgetowards problem solving. For example, the consensus outcome for engineering graduates is theability to apply principles of engineering, science, and math to design and analyze real systemsor processes2 . Much debate however exists on the best learning practices to build these skills.Proponents of problem-based learning (or project-based learning

Theprocess of conducting research and gaining experience in creating a sustainability researchproject is outside the scope of the originally developed introductory courses in the sustainabilityprogram. Therefore, a sustainability course devoted to research methods will give the studentsthe necessary knowledge to complete their capstone projects and increase the quality of work.Future plans are to design a full curriculum

benefits of PR are broadly applicablewhenever students are producing non-routine work such as capstone projects, project-basedcourses, or constructivist activities.Cementing and Extending – PR provides twice the learning opportunities compared to InstructorReview (IR) because both the reviewer and the recipient are learning. The reviewer is arguablythe greatest beneficiary; they first cement factual knowledge and then extend their conceptualunderstanding as they consider the work of their classmates. To review a token, the reviewermust first understand what they have seen/heard, next compare it to their own knowledge, thenevaluate whether it is correct, and finally explain/justify their opinion. Reviewers’ cognitivedemands are consistent with
