] analyzed the “low-choice culture” of engineering curricula, particularly incontrast to other fields of study. In the context of new research demonstrating the value of selfdetermination or autonomy for students in motivating learning, enhancing self-efficacy, andsupporting persistence, the relative inflexibility of engineering curricula stood out starkly. Withinindividual courses, studies have shown the “power of choice” to positively influence studentoutcomes, for example, when students may choose from among a menu of design projects[45, 46], and recommendations have been made for the design of self-determination supportiveengineering-student learning experiences [47, 48]. However, Forbes, et al.,’s statistical analysis ofthe curricula at 46

regarding the need to modify the engineering curriculum in order to betterprepare engineering graduates to face the new challenges that the current engineeringenvironment presented. In 1994, “industry and academe realized that their concerns were thesame, [therefore] they began to mobilize through ABET, the organization responsible for settingthe standards of engineering education” (ABET, 2004, p. 1). As a result, the AccreditationBoard for Engineering and Technology (ABET) acknowledged this call from industry andeducational leaders, and started working towards changing the standards of engineeringeducation in order to guarantee that engineering students not only have an education in thetechnical disciplines of engineering but also in human

The HARD game is intended for graduate and undergraduate students in courses dealingwith topics on supply chain management. It allows students to analyze aspects that significantly impacthumanitarian supply chain operations, such as: supply chain coordination and planning, supply chainrisks, demand volatility, and competing objectives. Statistical analysis of students’ survey responsesprovide evidence that the HARD game is

].Although percentages of freshman intending to major in engineering increased from 18.4% in2006 to 26.9% in 2014 for males and 3.5% to 7.9% for females, the increase in the percentage ofbachelor’s degrees in engineering awarded to women rose only 2.5% from 18.4% in 1997 to20.9% in 2019 [16], [17]. These percentages remained far below the graduation rates for males.Additionally, 15% of women never enter the engineering workforce resulting in a larger gendergap [3], [16].

23.633.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 Gender Differences in Motivation to Perform K12 OutreachAbstract To continue our leadership role in technological innovation, the United States is callingfor 10,000 more engineering students to graduate each year. While producing more engineers is acomplex systemic challenge, one of the major hurdles is the lack of students entering the pipelineto higher education in STEM fields. Outreach programs are one way to interest young people inengineering, but more engineers need to be motivated to perform outreach. Using the VIE(Valence, Instrumentality, Expectancy) motivation framework, we determine similarities anddifferences between women and men

Following the method used by Neeley and Alley (2020),we used the search function in the PEER repository to identify papers dealing with engineeringcommunication. Specifically, we conducted a title search for “communication or writing orspeaking or presentations.” Papers that served one or more of the four functions listed belowqualified as relevant to engineering communication as we have defined it here:(1) develop or assess the communication abilities of engineering students,(2) assess engineering students’ attitudes and

Key themes discussed are engineering asproblem solving, the relevance of multidisciplinarity, and the authoritative nature of knowledge.The analysis considers the context in which the textbooks were written and how the embeddedworldview found in the textbook shapes the current landscape of nuclear engineering education,research, and practice. We analyze what nuclear engineering students are implicitly taught abouttheir roles

Most of all, they would like to see VR technology supporting the cooperative learning environment we all strive for.
