The mission of the AFL is multifaceted, but highlyfocused on student learning.

In a way, it is as if engineering schools sometimes gavetheir students the implicit message that it is possible for engineers to work

Specifically, a single interaction or experience (such as a co-op) cansometimes mean the difference between taking a job after graduation in engineering or anotherfield.1 Further, research suggests that cooperative education and internships result in increasedsocial and cultural capital of those who participate, which can contribute to their ability to secureemployment after graduation.2 Student perceptions of the engineering field, which can be shapedby undergraduate work experiences, can also impact persistence in engineering programs.3-7While there is a growing literature examining the relationship

knowledge introduced to the cadetsduring the first quarter of the course. Experience 2 shows that students learn and develop problemsolving skills best through a three-step process: (1) Introduction: knowledge of the skill or toolis introduced in a traditional lecture manner. (2) Bridging: understanding the skill begins byusing it, generally on a familiar situation. (3) Application: confidence and competence with theskill are strengthened by extending the use to a new situation. In Engr 110Z, Mini-Workshops4,5and structured homework assignments were used to accomplish Steps (1) and (2).

For the most part, there has been a tendency to see any effort to recruit womento engineering as positive, with little consideration given to the manner in which suchcampaigns are designed to achieve their goals. In this paper, I offer a critical examinationof three prominent outreach strategies and how they present ideas about how best toengage women in engineering.

This study aims to shed light on how challengingmath coursework can impact self-efficacy and retention for students who enter engineeringprograms below a calculus level and provide research-backed suggestions for improving theexperience these students have during their college journey, thus increasing retention inengineering programs. Early findings suggest that positive faculty-student interactions, a sense ofbelonging, and the ability to feel success (instead of defeat) in early mathematics coursework arekey contributors to what improves self-efficacy for students who struggle in math-specificcourses.Keywords:self-efficacy, mathematics, engineering education, underserved populationsIntroductionThe Mindset Report published

Others advocate that youteach a language used by a relevant community to help the students adapt to that community. Whilethis might seem minor – consider the idea that there are computing programs in existence in theUnited States that taught COBOL and only COBOL for more than twenty-five years.

With the knowledge gainedfrom this research, first-year engineering programs can better explore how incoming students viewdecision-making and design more effective instructional practices. BackgroundIntroductionEthics is the “standards of conduct that apply to everyone” [1]. It is the difference between rightand wrong. People use ethics to determine how to act when confronted with any situation; askingquestions such as “who will this benefit?”, “who will this harm?”, and “what are theconsequences?”. However, engineering ethics is different from everyday ethics. Engineeringethics are a set of professional ethics, or “those special morally permissible standards of conductthat
