The use of MAESTRO in the graduateprogram affords the students greater insight into ship structural response to load effects that arenot always accurately analyzed by current manual methods (simple prismatic beam analysis). Inthe undergraduate program, the students use MAESTRO to develop a structural model as part oftheir senior ship design project. There has been difficulty in the undergraduate program in thedevelopment of a whole ship model, but the software allows the mid-portion of the ship structureto be easily created. In both the

experienceswhere the adolescents had the opportunity to research, analyze, and/or design solutions toproblems affecting their community. The adolescents worked in teams of three or four membersover the course of one school year to develop a solution to the problem they selected. Pre andpost-interviews were conducted to determine the adolescents’ perceptions of engineering andtheir self-efficacy in engineering. Data revealed that the participants’ sense of engineering self-efficacy increased after participating in the project. In addition, the participants’ perceptions ofengineering changed over time. This exploratory study suggests that authentic engineeringexperiences, defined as experiences in which students identify real problems they want to solvefor

The first step towards narrowing this gap isestablishing a measure of affect towards key elements of engineering practice.

A quantitative longitudinal studyof students in a mechanical engineering program collected data on design self-efficacy,makerspace involvement, and user demographics through surveys conducted on freshmen,sophomores, and seniors. In this paper, the student responses from three semesters of freshmenlevel design classes are evaluated for involvement and self-efficacy based on whether or not a 3Dmodeling project requires the use of makerspace equipment. The study finds that students requiredto use the makerspace for the project were significantly more likely to become involved in themakerspace.These results inspired us to integrate a qualitative approach to examine how student involvementand exposure to

From the authors’ experience, the lack of opportunity for engineeringpractice has a clear and notably negative effect on undergraduate clubs, impacting students’ con-fidence and ability to materially contribute to applied projects and pursue other independent andextracurricular educational opportunities. We found that the time constraints of a third or fourthyear engineering student dissuade them from joining clubs, leaving the majority of new club mem-bers as first or second year. With
