Half of [theprofessors] will [not teach well], [the] other half are pure geniuses who actually genuinely careabout you.” While, Georgia from HBCU2 had a slightly more positive experience: …I came over [to this university before I enrolled], and I…was just browsing…I spoke with an advisor in the industrial engineering program, Ms. V. … [S]he was just so nice. She was caring. As soon as I came in, she [said], ‘Oh, we need you here. We need people here.’ And I [said], “Okay, okay.” I was at [another university] at the time, and I just felt like a number there. But as soon as I came here…they just automatically showed me that they cared.Georgia’s experience was similar to that of Carlos from HSI1

Given the emphasis on departmental climate, the researchquestions addressed in this paper include: Are there gender differences in graduate studentperceptions about climate in STEM departments? How are perceptions about climate related todegree progress? and Does departmental climate influence graduate student commitment toSTEM professional careers?II. Climate, Degree Progress and Career CommitmentFirst coined by Hall & Sandler in the early 1980’s to describe the classroom experiences ofundergraduate women, the construct of a chilly climate has been extended to include

Khan Department of EET DeVry University, Addison, IL 60101 Gene Gloeckner George Morgan School of Education, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO 80523AbstractDuring the last two decades, the pace of technological change has transformed the globaleconomy into a knowledge-based or innovation-based economy, in which organizations are
Sometimes the task of defining the scope of a senior design project is completely left upto the faculty member(s) that will be supervising a given project. Also, when a company issponsoring a project, sometimes it is allowed to basically define on its own the scope of theproject that will be assigned to the students. Although there needs to be some room for flexibilitywhen defining the scope of a particular project, in general both approaches stated above are farfrom adequate. It is important to keep in mind that a capstone senior design project must be morethan a project that requires some technical expertise in a particular engineering discipline; it mustbe a meaningful and carefully defined learning experience for the students.

, and industrial innovation, engineers make adisproportionately large contribution to U.S. economic health and national security. Thesecontributions notwithstanding, the U.S. faces a potentially serious shortage of engineers in thenear future. According to the National Science Board, the U.S. is unable to keep pace with othercountries in the rate at which college-age youth earn science and engineering (S&E) degrees.Six percent of American 24-year olds hold S&E degrees, versus 10% in the United Kingdom and9% in South Korea. Even as U.S. degree production lags, the number of S&E jobs is expected toincrease three times faster than all other occupations in the next decade.1To compensate for this shortfall, the U.S. has increasingly
is based on our strong belief that students must understand the basicassumptions inherent in the Direct Stiffness Method before they can confidently and competentlyperform computer-based structural analyses. We find that students understand these assumptionsbest when they have an opportunity to work through each major step in the Direct StiffnessMethod by hand—aided by appropriate software to perform computations and matrixmanipulations.I. IntroductionIn our Advanced Structural Analysis course at the U. S. Military Academy, students learn andapply the Direct Stiffness Method in three different blocks of instruction—Trusses, Beams, andFrames. In each block, we develop the direct stiffness formulation for the appropriate structuralelement
program phase we used avariety of surveys and instruments to collect relevant data, including demographic information,self-assessment of readiness for an experience abroad, and general measures of culturalorientation (using the MGUDS-S survey12), and global engineering competency. Other surveysallowed the participants and their research hosts to evaluate all major program components.Finally, a series of exercises and assignments provided participants with reflective learningopportunities, while also giving the program team rich insights about student experiences.In the remainder of the paper we present preliminary results of our program evaluation, includingevidence of the quality and success of the program generally and a number of major
teams of four students, which gave an opportunity to learn orreinforce effective teaming skills. The changes to the project allowed flexibility in the designsolutions that encouraged the students to be more innovative and creative in the design process.The purpose of this paper is to describe the team design project including how it was able toimprove the student‟s learning experience. Assessment strategies and results will be shared.Preliminary findings indicate that the project increased the students‟ awareness of the world,their teamwork skills and reinforced the application of a formal design procedure.

engineeringstudents, this paper focuses on understanding the sequencing and overall arrangement of coursesin a program. We adopt the terminology from Heileman et al. [7] to formally call these constructscurricular design patterns, which they describe as, “collection[s] of curricular and co-curricularlearning activities intentionally structured so as to allow students to attain a set of learningoutcomes within a given educational context” [p. 5]. Although the term co-curricular is used inthis definition, there is much greater emphasis on the structure of prerequisite and corequisiterelationships. Still, by examining these roadmaps for how students are expected to progressthrough their discipline’s plan of study, we can understand how different curricular

Therewere no significant differences between the AE scores for female versus male students. Therewas a negative correlation between CW and ISE scores. A correlation between multilingualismand travel with artistic creativity and ISE attributes could not be established. The results illustratethat there are significant differences between artistic creativity and innovation attitudes inengineering students.AcknowledgmentsThis material is based in part on work supported by the National Science Foundation underAward No. 2205067.
