Performance/competence reflects the extent to which students perceive their ownknowledge and abilities in engineering. This dimension comprises five items that capturestudents’ confidence in their understanding of engineering in class and out of class, that they cando well on exams, that they understand concepts in engineering, and that others ask them forhelp. These items were adapted from engineering to “my field” for greater applicability. Missing data were

as an analysis toolwith thoughts similar to this: “If engineers are confident in their assumed or measured blastforce and blast profile, Newmark’s Method provides engineers with an extremely accurate wayto predict a structure’s response to a blast load.” Thus, a primary goal of the laboratory wasreached: to demonstrate the benefits of numerical time-stepping procedures in dynamic responsecalculation.Comparison of experimental and numerical results was the focus of this lab, but analytical resultscould – and probably should – be included to provide a complete picture. After reflecting on thelab, the instructor offered the students a comparison with the analytical approaches to estimatingresponse to blast loads in the following lecture period

One of the consequences of our currently low N is that weare not yet able to break down results by ethnicity, gender identity, or other important identity andbackground variables. However, while it’s true that our N is small (both overall and incomparison with Jensen and Cross), our results do show the strong potential impact ofproject-based engineering programs. As our programs grow and our N increases in future studies,we may observe further differentiation in outcomes with the population studied by Jensen andCross.The results of this research stimulates us to

, particularly in the first year.IntroductionTeamwork is an important skill for engineering students and is often a key component of first-year engineering courses. Research has shown that to foster development of teamwork skills,activities should be carefully structured with ample opportunities for practice, constructivefeedback, monitoring, and reflection [1]. One well-established way to develop teamwork skills iscooperative learning, which is a structured form of group work [2]. Cooperative learning is basedon five important tenets: mutual interdependence, individual accountability, face-to-facesupportive interaction, guided practice of interpersonal skills, and regular self-assessment ofteam functioning [3].
