This research seeks todetermine why students choose one engineering field vs. another and what influencers affect thatdecision. This research also seeks to investigate why students chose to change majors into thefield of engineering or why students switch from one engineering major to another. Research Question 4: How do important influencers on the choice of engineering major affect students’ choice to select an engineering major or switch majors within the engineering field?Understanding results could lead to the development of K-12 programs that expose students tocorrect perceptions of the wide variety of engineering majors and careers, and allow

AbstractOften, engineering departments are faced with the need to update laboratory exercises andequipment. However, adequate funds do not always exist to accomplish these upgrades in atimely manner. Another challenge faced by departments are satisfying Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) requirements for a major design experience within thecurriculum. ABET guidelines state, “Students must be prepared for engineering practice throughthe curriculum culminating in a major design experience based on the knowledge and skillsacquired in earlier course work and incorporating engineering standards and realistic constraintsthat include most of the following considerations: economic; environmental; sustainability;manufacturability; ethical
models, synthesis techniques and engineering principles governing the technology in their project. By insisting that the ECE Design I proposals explore and identify the models and engineering principles involved, the temptation of "cut-and-try" designing can possibly be diverted and at best completely avoided. This proposal is strong enough to effectively avoid inappropriate "cut-and-try" designing.

There issome evidence that female and minority students may be more likely to articulate the importanceof sustainability in the context of civil engineering, although more research is needed on thistopic due to the small numbers of female students in the class.BackgroundAll engineers should be familiar with the concept of sustainability.

), espoused by theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) [5], has required manyengineering education professionals to consider the detailed articulation of educational objectivesand their assessment for the first time. Accordingly, a number of seminars and symposia havebeen developed to address these issues [6]. After some six years, many engineering educationalprofessionals still have many questions concerning educational objectives and their assessment;in many cases because they are unaware of the work of, for example, Bloom [7], Krathwohl [8],Harrow [9], and Mager [10,11].Educational objectives, and methods for their assessment, have been around for many years.Many of our so-called objectives are, in reality, goals and, as such

StudentsIntroductionIncreasing achievement of underrepresented students in science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) is a critical and difficult task [1]. Underrepresented students make up asmall fraction of the STEM workforce (13%) compared to white students (71%) [1]. Mentorship,particularly research mentorship, plays an important role in the development of scientific identity[2] and improves students’ moral, performance, and retention rates [3]. Therefore, mentoringunderrepresented students in research is critical for increasing their achievement. Students whoreceive research mentoring have described mentors as colleagues who provided them anopportunity to flourish. These students were more likely to identify as scientists, whereas thosewho did not

With thesegoals in mind, the objective of this study was to examine how a newly developed instructionalmodel, known as Argument Driven Engineering (ADE), is related to changes in middle schoolstudents’ attitudes toward engineering and participation in engineering careers. This study ofengineering attitudes is important both for developing effective curriculum and pedagogy forengineering in science classrooms, and also for addressing nation-wide problems with diverserepresentation and participation in engineering degree programs and occupations.In 2012 the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology issued a reportprojecting
