andpersonal competencies that engineering education researchers identified as important forsuccessful engineering. This list is summarized in a preliminary version of Table 1.Second, we reviewed a subset of professional reports that highlighted competencies relevant toengineering student success, including ABET, National Science Foundation (NSF), the NationalAcademy Press, and the National Academy of Science, Engineering, and Mathematics. Similarto our review of engineering education research papers, we expanded the list of academic andpersonal competencies that these reports argued as crucial for successful professionalengineering or STEM careers. Furthermore, we refined personal competencies based oninterpersonal and intrapersonal competencies to
Engineering Education at Purdue University. Her research focuses what factors influence diverse students to choose engineering and stay in engineering through their careers and how different experiences within the practice and culture of engineering foster or hinder belongingness and identity development. Dr. Godwin graduated from Clemson University with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and Ph.D. in Engineering and Science Education. Her research earned her a National Science Foundation CAREER Award focused on characterizing latent diversity, which includes diverse attitudes, mindsets, and approaches to learning, to understand engineering students’ identity devel- opment. She is the recipient of a 2014 American Society for
graduate study and encouraged them to choose a career pathinvolving research. We observed that the students developed more intellectual confidenceas they were succeeded in hands-on experiences and application implementation. Theybenefited greatly when collaborating with other students who share their commitment toscience, mathematics, and engineering. The project also advanced the research skills of theundergraduate students and enhanced the research and employment opportunities for thesestudents. Shortly after joined this project, one student was offered an on-campus researchassistantship by the 1890 Land Grant Research Project III. And another student was invitedto a NASA summer student research fellowship.References:1. Columbus L. 80% Of

, Steven described a desire to “travel more as itis my main goal in life on top of pursuing a career in engineering.”Concluding Discussion Although literature suggests that experiential global learning programs positively impactstudent outcomes, not all student groups are equally represented in global programs. As we havediscussed, some student groups remain systematically excluded from global programs inengineering, including prospective transfer students and students from low SES or first-generation backgrounds. Experiences of these students are underexplored largely because of theminimal representation of these groups in global programs. Thus, this paper illuminated theexperiences of prospective transfer students from low SES backgrounds
school to college requires extra supportand therefore offer college summer bridge programs. However, the transition from the freshmanto sophomore year is a critical formational period and yet often neglected in student successinitiatives [1-3]. The sophomore year is a defining moment in the college career, and also a timethat is filled with uncertainty and a sense of losing support students had in their freshmen year [2,4-6]. We recognized the need for students to strengthen their motivation, resolve, and capabilityto persevere through the challenges that tend to hit them particularly hard when they reach theirfirst engineering courses, typically in their sophomore year. We hypothesized that servicelearning projects during the students’ freshman

Conclusion Quadcopters, and all kinds of unmanned technology, are quickly on the rise. Introducingstudents to these technologies early on can help them in their future engineering careers.

One professor who teaches a required one-credit professionalism course in industrial engineering mentioned “anything that’s not aformula or calculation, there are a few students who just think when we stray away fromthat, we’re somehow harming their potential career as an engineer.” Another professor whotaught ESI in both elective standalone ESI and core engineering courses encountered similarresistance from students, which stemmed from

Overall, the participants were able to seethe value of the IGERT program from different perspectives.To avoid ambiguity, three core values designed to be delivered by the IGERT program wereexplicitly described in the survey. Survey responses indicated a trend that students were morelikely to agree with them after the program, as shown in Fig.2(b), which also suggests asuccessful teaching outcome of the IGERT program.RelatednessThe majority of respondents believed that they shared a common vision and set of values withtheir primary advisor, and that their advisor shared a common vision with other faculty in theprogram (see Fig.3).

Teaching assistants play a vital role in the teaching mission of higher education institutionslike the College of Engineering at UW Madison. They are often the first point of contact a studentmay have with their instructional team and the most familiar role model for an undergraduatestudent questioning a career in the course subject field or academia in general. Not only are TAsvital to the student experience, but they are also potential future faculty, after earning an advanceddegree, it will be expected that they know how to teach.

This was not done during this pilot test with this one lab class but could be easily added to theMinitab tutorial for future labs. Another important part of DOE is to randomize the experiment runs tominimize any variability due to uncontrollable factors. That was not possible during this lab due toequipment set up and time constraints. In the future more factors could be added to the experiment.

]. Furthermore, teachers report that the K-12 IP needs to be a good “fit” for theschool context [4].By design, summer camps mitigate some of the challenges faced by teachers during the schoolyear, offering a flexible format unburdened by standards or testing schedules. Furthermore, thereis evidence to suggest that STEM summer camps may be especially useful for promoting STEMinterest in K-12 populations. For example, participants in STEM summer camps report increasedpositive attitudes towards STEM, confidence in their understanding of STEM content, and anintent to continue taking classes in STEM fields or to pursue a STEM career after finishing theprogram [10]-[16].Summer camps specifically related to invention have also shown positive student outcomes
