Professional responsibility is modeledand practiced throughout as timeliness, respect, appropriate dress, appropriate language are allmade explicit with continuous feedback coming from faculty and staff. Teamwork skills areprovided in seminars and practiced in design teams. Multiple workshops per week address topicssuch as: inclusion, ethical action, leadership, reflection, management, happiness, life-workbalance, overcoming adversity, and communication. Each week during the EDP students writethree one-page learning journal entries, most of which are reflective prompts from some aspectof professional learning. These student reflections related to professional

In additionto the ELSJ learning objectives, this course was designed with the hope that students would also:• Develop educational materials and hands-on STEM activities as a service to the community• Develop project/time management, organizational, and leadership skills.• Develop effective listening/collaboration skills while working with community partners.• Recognize and understand ethical responsibilities of engineers.In the lecture component of the class, students are introduced to concepts that can help themwhen performing their outreach. Specifically, there is a nine-lecture sequence where thefollowing material is discussed:Lecture 1: Introductions, Course

This observationemphasizes the need for more early education about positive career expectations and the work ittakes to achieve the valued engineering career. While programs, like AcES, often focus onhelping students use academic resources, building cohorts to facilitate feelings of inclusion, andinteracting with faculty, mentors, and practicing engineers to facilitate the development ofpositive career expectations, perhaps there are additional characteristics that students need aswell. Perhaps first-year engineering programs should also consider ways to help students toadopt a growth mindset [12] and a strong work ethic to prepare them for the workload they willlikely experience. Students need to

Some will even ask questions and try to learn more directly as well. An example is in control systems, when we were going over frequency and time domains. My communications background allowed me to explain that information in a different way to a couple of the other students and show how that education is applied in industry. From our work ethics, to our different knowledge bases I do think we make a positive impact on the performance of the other students.”MethodsTo conclude whether veteran students have a positive influence on the grades of non-veteranstudents, student

When asked to provide both quantitative and qualitativeassessment of qualifications of the two candidates, participating students gave the female resumelower quantitative marks and honed in on non-technical and language skills more so than they didin their evaluations of the male candidate.
