Over 300 students responded to the survey.Responses from students fell into 7 themes that were used to design a system based oninstructional design theory to help students discover more about themselves and the College ofEngineering. They were: 1. What would I like to do for the rest of my life? 2. I had no problem deciding, because I always knew what I wanted. 3. I was very worried about the workload; I wasn’t sure I could do the work required. 4. I always knew I wanted to be an engineer but I did not know what the different kinds of engineers did. 5. I was worried about the job market after graduation and what would be the best major. 6. I did not have enough
successful they will be at becoming an effective leader. The best time todevelop these skills are during the undergraduate education of an engineer. This is a time that thestudent can practice, without serious consequences for making mistakes. Therefore, the university’s role in providing programs to prepare students to not only belifelong learners, but also leaders, has gained a greater significance in the last ten years. In orderto meet industry’s growing demand for future technical leaders, university sponsoredundergraduate engineering leadership development programs have been increasing steadily. Table1 lists the rapid growth in the development of these programs.Table1. Engineering Leadership Program and the year they were foundedYet
Data and Data Science require new IT graduates to demonstrate theirmastery in data acquisition, data management, and data inference skills when they enter theworkforce (Mithun & Luo, 2020). Thus, introductory programming courses such as databaseprogramming and design represent crucial milestones in IT education, as they reflect students'ability to solve problems and design appropriate solutions (Skala & Drilk, 2018). But, for noviceprogrammers learning SQL programming and logical database design concepts is a challengingtask because while writing SQL programs, students not only have to apply theoretical conceptssuch as syntax and semantics but also practical concepts such as problem-solving at the same time,which results in cognitive

While the US needsaround one million STEM graduates, it can only meet three hundred thousand of the demand1.Increasing STEM interest to fulfill those jobs is one of the fundamental goals of the K-12stakeholders and researchers. Additionally, STEM interest is almost three times higher for boysthan girls1. Female students’ ratio in STEM fields is around 20% all around the world1. A studyfound that female students think that STEM is not appropriate for their careers because theycannot connect the real world and their assignments during school years, and prefer socialstudies1. Girls, although not limited in their ability to be successful programmers and to excel inengineering design, need positive mentor or

The Army and the nation have a cadre of specialists trained in the social, political, andtechnical aspects of the use of nuclear weapons. The cadre is designated Functional Area (FA)52, Nuclear Research and Operations. FA52 officers are an important aspect of the nationalresponse to a terrorist attack, serving with various civilian and military agencies including theFBI, DOE, the Office of Homeland Security, and Combatant Commanders’ staffs.

This discussion was more meaningful to the studentsthan a published ethical case since it directly impacted the work of the team on their project.Another example of project-related ethics discussion arose from a team working on anentrepreneurial project. The goal of that project was to design a workable, marketable productduring the semester. Ethics discussions arose during the design and product development stages.For example: Due to cost to manufacture, will the product only be available to wealthierfamilies?

In this paper wepresent the practices and effectiveness of the collaborative instruction and just in time teachingpedagogy that we apply in the context of engineering technology education. We show howcollaborative efforts have been made by multiple faculty members to immediately teach studentsuseful skills and guide them in the understanding of engineering design principles in the area ofembedded systems. With the combination of these methods, students with minimal math orprogramming backgrounds were able to independently initiate, design and develop technicallychallenging projects for a nationwide competition.

There were 117 homework assignments that were explored for the researchin fall 2017 (from among the assignments of the fall 2016 and fall 2017 cohorts of students).This content analysis was conducted after the assignments were graded by the course TA andtherefore the research had no impact on student grades in the course.The demographic variables explored for RQ1 and RQ2 were known based on students’ answersto a voluntary survey at the start of the semester where they indicated previous internshipexperience, participation in undergraduate research or EWB, and the sub-disciplines of interestfor a job after graduation. Because some students did not

The impact of social class, which includes socioeconomic status, on students’ experiences in engineering is a developing body of work. For many reasons, more students from all backgrounds are attending community college and not primarily those from traditionally underrepresented groups, students from low socioeconomic backgrounds or students with average merit. Although enrollment, retention and graduation data are often used as metrics of success, it is imperative to gain an understanding beyond the numbers. Such investigation will lay the

These experiences serve to complement andreinforce theory learned in classrooms.Community Outreach and EducationIn addition to learning practical technical skills, students are also challenged by hosting outreach events,such as toy fairs and education programs which can be helpful to both students, parents and professionals.We have conducted 10 events in the past 4 years where the parents and children can come get a new toy,and learn how to modify toys for themselves.
