American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Uneven Playing Field: Examining Preparation for Technical Interviews in Computing and the Role of Cultural ExperiencesAbstractWhile starting a career may be challenging in any field, in computing the process tends to beaggravated by requirements of digital portfolios and technical interviews that necessitate codingextemporaneously. During the programming components, candidates are expected to offer asolution, while also giving consideration to the choice of algorithm and its time complexity.Although
must be prepared for engineering practice through the curriculum culminating in a major design experience based on the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work and incorporating engineering standards and realistic constraints that include most of the following considerations: economic; environmental; sustainability; manufacturability; ethical; health and safety; social; and political. The professional component must include (a) one year of a combination of college level mathematics and basic sciences (some with experimental experience) appropriate to the discipline (b) one and one-half years of engineering topics, consisting of engineering sciences and engineering design
engineering programs [4].Significance and impactChanges in the ABET accreditation criteria for engineering education also indicate a significantneed for educational reform. The new criteria include a need to demonstrate training andexperience in areas specific to design methodology. These skill requirements, such as teamwork,technical communication, economics and ergonomics of system or product design, civicengagement and ethics, reveal that the mere acquisition of technical knowledge is insufficient fora robust, modern engineering education [2].Goals and objectivesThere are several core goals involved in this paper, all centered on improving student experience,learning, and satisfaction in undergraduate education.

indicated three of the four top areas were either learned on the job or had beenforgotten since formal education: 1) software and design patterns, 2) object-oriented conceptsand technology, and 3) requirements gathering and analysis. Other top areas learned on the jobincluded analysis and design methods; testing, verification, and quality assurance; projectmanagement; confirmation and release management; human-computer interaction/userinterfaces; and databases.Business and art topics of high importance in the respondents’ careers, but which were learnedon the job, included 1) ethics and professionalism, 2) technical writing, 3) giving presentations toan audience, and 4) leadership. Today, this need for a well-rounded, project-based
interdisciplinary approach with an overall objective of improving ecosystem understanding, health and management, and provide a mechanism by which to bring research expertise into the classroom. Dr. Meadows has taught upper level environmental ocean dynamics courses as well as the college’s Introduction to Engineering course, which combines a team project with technical communication material, environmental consciousness and ethics. Her most recent contribution to this course has been the development and implementation of a service-learning curriculum and the inception of an engineering education research program to explore the service-learning pedagogy in engineering
between a number of opposing forces. Theyrecognized that a minimum of fundamental knowledge in science and mathematics wasrequired to prepare students for more specific engineering coursework, but exposure to thenature of engineering and its opportunities was also needed to enable students to identify andconfirm an appropriate career path. Also competing with these forces were the calls toeducate students in areas of communication, ethics and professionalism, design, working inteams, leadership, entrepreneurship, and global understanding (to name a few), all vying forcurriculum time.Froyd and Ohland9 provide comprehensive evidence from research which suggests thatintegrated curricular programs encourage students to affiliate and develop
the beginning of the second term) were well on their way to reaching the performing stage of team development. Page 14.637.11≠ Resolving problems: The teams were enabled to deal with conflict (which often arose from differences in thinking preference18). Scheduling conflicts were another common problem, but most teams found a creative way to deal with those. Lack of motivation, commitment, and a poor work ethic proved to be most difficult. If a student chose not to change and contribute an average of 6-7 hours/week on the project, the consequences were a penalty in points distributed according to the contributions each member
working for grades and notknowledge. “Everyone is secretly trying to get a grade from the course, even though he disputesthe fact.” Kirsten believed that the grading system was an unfortunate part of “mass production”in education.24 In 1943 Kirsten was interviewed for an article in which he said “Specialized educationhas put American youth into a groove, beyond which they are unable to see. We have been soanxious to teach our students everything from A to Z in their chosen field, the average pupil isgraduated without any personal philosophy, with little appreciation of the delicate balances andsymphonies of nature’s forces, an ignorance of the fundamental ethics of the good life and acomplete disregard for that which is not in his text

of engineering and other content is critical. Recent findings makeclear that when provided with a relevant design problem and scaffolding, even young studentscan design solutions and learn as they do so.Significance and implicationsWhile we found increasingly rigorous approaches to research methods, there are stillopportunities for growth tied to qualitative methods in particular. However, we found a numberof persistent methodological issues that have continued since our initial review. To address these,we suggest the following; journals and conferences should: • encourage more rigorous studies by providing clearer guidelines about qualitative and quantitative methods; • encourage more ethical human subjects research by

-Sacre, & McGourty, 2005). According to ABET’s EC2000 standards, the new generation ofengineers is expected to possess deep technical knowledge in their field of study as well asprofessional skills, such as communicating effectively, working in teams, solving unstructuredproblems, and an awareness of ethical and contextual considerations in engineering (Lattuca,Terenzini, & Volkwein, 2006). The NAE believes engineers need to be flexible, resilient,creative, empathetic, and have the ability to recognize and seize opportunities (NAE, 2002;Sheppard, Pellegrino, & Olds, 2008) How can entrepreneurship education lead to these learning outcomes? Mostentrepreneurship-related activities students participate in are experiential in
awareness ofengineering ethics 57. However, Hunkeler and Sharp58 did not find a significant effect of genderdistribution on group performance in their four-year study of a senior laboratory course. Lackey et al.21 found that journal score of a course predicted the first year GPA. Thecorrelation was stronger for men than women students, whose better predictor was high schoolGPA. The journal score represents student engagement, attitude, initiative, time managementskills, study habits, and willingness to persevere. Since women students, in general, do better onthose attributes, the authors believed that the journal score did not influence their GPA as muchas men students.Insight 3: There may not be any gender difference in creativity skills

by an Academy programadvisor, and HCC students are required to enroll in a prescribed set of courses that are alignedwith transfer to the College of Engineering. As part of the Engineering Academy program, allengineering courses offered at the participating community colleges are taught by Texas A&MCollege of Engineering faculty. Based on student academic performance while at the communitycollege, they have an opportunity to transfer directly into the College of Engineering at the endof their first or second year of study. These are highly motivated students and display a strongwork ethic. Six students from the Academy were accepted into the 2015/2016 REEMS academic yearprogram, twelve accepted into the 2016/2017 REEMS program
(Downey et al., 2006 as cited in [11].Those with cultural humility recognize that there are multiple technical approaches and thatwhile they may have a preference for one way of defining a problem over another as well as oneway of justifying a solution over another, they have the flexibility of mind and command oftechnical knowledge to be able to adjust and adapt to multiple ways of defining as well asresolving problems [11]. Cultural humility also means recognizing when we do not have thetechnical knowledge to accomplish a task and having the wherewithal to acknowledge thisdeficit and seek out this knowledge either through bringing in outside expertise or additionaleducation, as called for in the Code of Ethics of a Professional Engineer [11
