This cohort hadhigher rates of enrollment in minor degree programs that allowed them to gather skills inspecialized areas of engineering, compared to the College of Engineering average, including lateprogram enrollment. Scholars overall seemed to benefit from the proactive element as it kept theirgrades on their mind more during the semester rather than realizing they were in a bad spot toolate. The only complaint students had about this style of advising was they still had holds on theircourse registration late into their semesters which caused them stress and sometimes made courseenrollment difficult. They still wanted the advising
years of the degree and additional interactions with seniordesign students; there is not a graduate engineering program in Fort Smith. With this in mind,the student population used in research projects is limited to freshman, sophomores, and seniordesign students, reducing the scope and complexity of the research that can be conducted. Theseconstraints have prompted evolution of the processes described in this paper.The Electric Vehicle Project (EVP) began in 2006 with a student led proposal submitted toBaldor Electric Company, the largest domestic producer of electric motors and drives, whichnetted the research team donated supplies and services.

An integrated Approach to Creating Student-Awareness, Pedagogy and Efficient Management of Multi-Cultural Teams in Engineering Projects Anilkumar Bhate, M.G. Prasad, Lex McCusker Stevens Institute of Technology Hoboken, New JerseyAbstractTeamwork is an essential aspect of most engineering projects. Often the teams consist of memberscoming from diverse backgrounds, and such diverse backgrounds may lead to internal conflicts within theteams. Engineering students, many to become managers in their future careers, need to be educated abouthow to deal with the diversity in their work teams. Teams

According to the survey results from StClair et al. [16], many engineeringundergraduates felt that the writing skills they had learned in prior courses were helpful limitedlywhen writing lab reports. They declared that the aspects of laboratory reports are unique fromother types of writing in college. A focus group study [17] indicated similarities and differencesbetween writing assignments in first-year composition and engineering laboratory courses. Thesimilarities include writing for an audience with a purpose in mind, employing rhetoricalappeals, and using evidence as support, while

Everything was organized and set up very well. the thoughtful suggestions only thing I’d have to change anything is to ask the kids on how to improve how they feel about engineering . I feel as if it’s always mentoring of the youth. important to see wher their minds are when it comes to what they want to do later on in life. Other than that everything was fine.8 To be completely honest, I did not do the bridge example Student did not do the with the kids.

PerformanceAbstract This research paper explores the role of non-cognitive and affective (NCA) factors ininfluencing student achievement and thriving. We have developed and deployed a survey withevidence of validity and reliability to measure 28 NCA factors from n=2339 undergraduates at17 U.S. institutions. The factors examined include personality, grit, meaning and purpose,engineering identity, mindset, motivation, test anxiety, test and study environment, perceptionsof faculty caring, self-control, stress, gratitude, mindfulness, and sense of belonging. The resultsfrom a previous cluster analysis identified four distinct clusters of students’ NCA profiles,accounting for 69.0% of the sample. A second analysis indicated that membership within any ofthe

, social, and educational objectives in mind. The analysis of the three main questionspresented here (changes in professional aspirations, perceptions of own skills, and interest incommunity service) revealed that over the course of the semester, students perceived learninggains and increased their orientation toward a service approach. First, students changed theirprofessional aspirations toward engineering/product development and further education andaway from management consulting and medicine. Second, the perception of their own skillsincreased in key product design areas such as ability to design new products, creativity, andproblem solving. Third, 2.009 students’ attitude became more service-oriented.In summary, the goal of integrating
of this project was toconfirm early on the career choice of these students by putting them close to the reality of theprofession and making them work on projects involving design and analysis abilities,autonomous learning, teamwork, communication skills and social considerations. We alsowanted to create a stimulating and motivating learning environment, with a reasonable workloadthat favored the integration and the application of the engineering knowledge and skills.To accomplish this goal, we were looking for a project that could integrate these ideas indifferent courses with appropriate complexity, and also provide open challenges that push furtherthe creativity and the ingenuity of the students. With that in mind, we developed an

category of studentgenerally experienced the largest shifts, and so for them it appears that this intervention was ableto somewhat open their minds beyond the immediate technical skills-building to longer termviews of what they can use engineering to effect around them.Prior to the intervention, some of the top challenges students perceived in doing engineeringwere related to negative perceptions and/or doubts in their own abilities. After the intervention,most of those internal concerns became less prevalent, and were overtaken by common dynamicsthat exist in successfully carrying out project work, i.e. teamwork, troubleshooting, etc. Thisprovides another indication that their self-efficacy has increased.

. This work is implemented in an equity-minded frame to ensure thatwe support the learning and experience of all students. Students in first-year engineering designcourses often ineffectively deploy design process phases and activities, which can limit theirlearning and negatively impact the quality of their deliverables. To further encourage students tointentionally engage in the appropriate design process phases and activities, we supplement ourcurrent instruction with a new activity that includes a modified time diary and a structuredreflection activity. This work-in-progress paper begins analyzing our data to understand the roleplayed by these activities in student learning.We analyze students’ self-assessments of learning and engineering
