I like, I am always in like this constant struggle…it kind of worries me but I feel like I made the right choice but I guess I will see as I progress on this. Interviewer: That is a pretty big life choice to make without all the things… Jimmy: It is! And that's why I feel weird about college all the time because we are forced to make these like life choices that are, I mean not only do they affect us for the rest of our life but they cost a lot of money upfront.Professor X also reflects back on his choice to choose a particular engineering discipline.

student participants. Our researchquestions were threefold: (1) How do components of individuals’ role identities align to inform the motivation tobecome an engineering ambassador? (2) How does the training crystallize students’ role identities as professionals andambassadors for the field of engineering? (3) Which features of the workshop emerge as the most powerful experiences fortriggering the formulation of an engineering ambassador role identity?MethodParticipants. A diverse sub-set of participants was selected, reflecting differences in gender(n=3 male, n=3 female); ethnicity (Hispanic/Latino = 1, African American = 1, Caucasian = 4)school type (large northeastern state universities = 3, mid-size eastern state

courses. The largest increase in the median, 19 points, was in courseA3, the one-credit seminar course fully focused on sustainability via readings that primarilyfocused on social science aspects. There were similar increases of 14-15 points in the medianconfidence of students in the A1, B1, and C1 courses. The smallest increase of ~3 points wasfound in the Introduction to Environmental Engineering course (A2); sustainability was only asingle lecture in that course. It is evident that 13-36% of the individual students in each coursedecreased in their average confidence in sustainability knowledge (Table 8). As discussedpreviously, some students started the semester 100% confident, so a decrease among thosestudents would be appropriate and reflect

approach is that, by being alerted by students toproblematic language or missing content before the rubric’s application, the researchers can meetto address the issue by making appropriate modifications to the rubric in question.Engineering Education MajorsThe engineering education majors were asked to write reflective essays at the conclusion of thesemester. In terms of the positive effects that the rubrics had as a formative assessment tool, oneengineering education major mentioned the following: “We have made many changes that have improved this project for us and for the all the students involved. The communication level has been much better this year and we have been able to help improve the quality of the

responsibilities. One of the hypotheses of our broader research agenda isthat certain fields of engineering more easily lend themselves and give rise to reflection on andawareness regarding the ethical and professional responsibilities of engineers. In the cases ofcivil and mechanical engineering, for example, the negative consequences of acting unethicallyworking on bridge and engine projects, for instance, might be more obvious than in computerengineering working on cyber security.On this basis and in conjunction with other research, our goal is ultimately to makerecommendations about how to improve engineering ethics curricula, not only in China but alsocontexts where Chinese and other non-US and Western students comprise large percentages ofstudent

to the learning and teaching styles in engineering education by Felder and Silverman.9Active learning encourages not only high levels of physical engagement with course content(such as physically experimenting with concepts) but also reflection on the results of thatactivity. Teaching styles that are correlated with prevailing learning styles lead to higher successand greater fulfillment. Engineers are more likely to be active learners and engaging learningenvironments have a significant impact on this segment of learners. The role of active learningthrough the use of cooperative learning environments and project-based exercises has also beenendorsed by other researchers as means to improve design education.10 It is our thesis that

Of the 22 participants there were five students who were not visibleminorities in engineering, nine students who appeared to be English dominant and seven whowere female. None of the teams investigated in this paper consist of all monolingual Englishspeakers, and only one team, Team 4, consisted of all domestic students. The language diversityof the teams was representative of the University’s (and in particular the Faculty’s) linguisticdiversity. Given the demographics of the teams and the student population in this course, theprobability of having teams volunteer that did not have similar diversity to the student body wasminimal.
