An 18-item survey was designed to connect engineeringstudents’ cultural assets to the ways they navigate their present-day lives as college students andforesee their future lives as engineers. The study recruited a sample of undergraduate studentsregistered in engineering majors at three institutions of higher education including a publicHispanic Serving Institution (Angelo State University), a Tier-2 research institution (JamesMadison University), and a Tier-1 research institution (University of Colorado Boulder). Thesurvey findings corroborate results found in other studies.

The importance of mathematical achievement and preparation toengineering persistence has long been studied. This investigation seeks to further enhance thisresearch-base. A sample of 450 incoming engineering majors were divided into three differentengineering tracks by their university based upon their level of mathematics preparation:Engineering Track 1 (Calculus-ready), Engineering Track 2 (Calculus-ready with Precalculusreview), and Engineering Track 3 (College Algebra-ready

If human societies don’t live sustainably, by definition, wewill experience drastic reductions in our population and/or standard of living and may cease toexist. Knowledge about sustainability has become a foundational component of a generaluniversity education and of being an informed citizen. Sustainability, as a subject of study, isincreasingly popular with students and is an increasingly relevant skill domain in the job market[1]. Given that undergraduate engineering curricula are typically very full of technical content,how is it possible to incorporate sustainability principles into an undergraduate
