fortrailblazing undergraduates. The CIRCUIT program involves multilevel mentoring by providing aneeded community for trailblazing graduate students as they support each other in their work withCIRCUIT and as they progress in their individual graduate journeys 42 .TA mentorship guides the students through the technical aspects of their projects, and also servesas representation that students may never ordinarily see in their undergraduate studies. It is knownthat students with a strong sense of scientific identity are more likely to persist within STEM 4 .This TA representation, in part, allows CIRCUIT fellows to build their scientific identity by seeingthemselves as scientists and engineers. TAs serve as existence proofs; showing CIRCUIT fellowsthat

We aim tohave students connect what they learn to the context of their lives, identities, and emergingcareers. We want CBEE graduates to be

This is the technological challenge to innovation, full participation andcompany-wide adoption. In summation, according to the obtained demographics of this study, the majority of currentindustry top-managers are in the age category of under 40-years of age. This category isclassified as a “young generation” and some are even recent college graduates (who graduatedless than ten years ago). Thus, an important question should be raised in future studies about thecollege preparation of engineering leaders and top-managers. Often innovation involves risk, ofwhich psychological discomfort in adapting new tools or working environs is an

Successful completion of the Gymnasium results in adiploma and prepares students for university study or for a dual academic and vocationalcredential. Another option is the Realschule (grades 5 – 10), the completion of which leads to“part-time vocation schools and higher education vocational schools.”14 Students with highacademic achievement at the Realschule, upon graduation, can switch to a Gymnasium andcomplete the necessary studies for a diploma. A third option is the Hauptschule (grades 5 – 9)which “teaches similar subject matter as the Realschule and Gymnasium, but at a slower paceand with some vocational

This pilot project aims to highlight the factors that createmarginalization in the construction industry and recommend pedagogical solutions inconstruction education across the U.S. to address this marginalization directly. To achieve thisobjective, the study implemented workshop and associated activities in construction management(CM) classes about key components of social sustainability that includes effective interpersonaland group communication, with emphasis on how systemic racism makes its way into theseprocesses as well as the role of culture and bias in communication. At the beginning of the class,75 students participated in a pre-survey to record their pre-established knowledge aboutunconscious biases and the role
University, Prescott campus, and inpart because this course is both writing intensive and presentation intensive and students couldbenefit from supplementary COM instruction. Moreover, it later became apparent that due to thedemanding nature of this course, students are often stressed and this stress can lead tointerpersonal conflicts between team members. It was thus argued that students could benefitfrom supplementary COM instruction in conflict negotiation and resolution. By inviting a COMinstructor into the senior design course, COM support could be deeply embedded in the students'capstone experience, providing timely instruction just before graduation. In order to maximizethe COM instructor's understanding of the engineering students' needs

These3000-level elective courses typically are special topics courses for interest areas or undergraduateresearch opportunities and often a place to pilot a course prior to a full 3-credit hour courseoffering. In addition, courses in this designation count toward a student’s graduation requirementsfor elective courses.

established, a plan was developed to implement a firstyear three-course sequence of engineering fundamentals for all students (i.e., all those not inFEH) but it was substantially modified according to much input from the College faculty. Atwo-quarter course sequence consisting of instruction in basic skills and hands-on laboratoryexperiences involving product dissection and real time data acquisition and centered around oneor two engineered products resulted. This approach, the Introduction to Engineering (IE)Program, was piloted in small scale in 1998-99 with 100 students and again the next year on asomewhat larger scale with 300 students. Full-scale implementation of the IE program forapproximately 850 freshman engineering students occurred in 2000

ABET assessment criteria suggest students would benefitfrom experience with concepts such as tolerancing, creating

Our results show that while the correlationbetween number of attempts (i.e., failure rate) and creative performance was statisticallysignificant, the relationship was weak. In addition to these and other quantitative results, thisresearch has value for engineering educators as a case study in the evolution, scaling, andtransfer of face-to-face experiential learning tasks to global online learning environments.1.
