classmates.Exposure to technical manuals is also key. Veteran engineering students often are quiteknowledgeable in using technical manuals, and can be a great classroom support for evaluatingthe efficacy of selected technical manuals. The resulting project includes a brief report, andveterans often model prior knowledge regarding the motivations for TM design decisions for thebenefit of non-veteran students.A comparison of veteran and non-veteran performance in the TWC course showed that theveterans outperformed non-veterans in the same course. This result is unsurprising; however, thequantitative difference was larger than expected. A comparison of Citadel veteran engineeringgrades in TWC classes across four semesters shows an average GPA of 3.8 on a 4.0

The class session consisted of alternating periods (averaging 10-15min) of interactive lecture and student work time. Interactive lectures clarified and reinforcedfoundational knowledge and its application from the reading assignments, and students wereexpected to respond to questions about the reading, to fill in connections to previous classmaterial, and/or to volunteer examples from their own experiences (in other classes, internships,research projects, etc.). Student work time enabled students to work on concept questions,practice problems, and homework problems

It is evident from the assessment analysis that the knowledge retention had a significantimprovement using this approach. In addition to it, this approach has let the students learn thebasics of design of experiments for further scientific research. Students who learnt through thisapproach seemed more confident and used the workshop facilities independently for thefabrication part of their design project as well. 95% of the students enrolled for theManufacturing

. In fact, implicit biases can directly conflict with our explicitly held beliefs.This makes implicit bias a sensitive subject by nature.To introduce students to common implicit biases and spark reflection on their own potentialimplicit biases, each student takes an online Implicit Bias Assessment from Project Implicitdesigned at Harvard University [15]. This is done in class, and each student is given an implicitbias worksheet to guide their reflection and keep them engaged in the process. This worksheetincludes questions such as: (1) What assessment did you choose to take?; (2) Without sharingyour results [to protect student privacy and avoid discomfort on this sensitive topic], did yourresults surprise you at all?; (3) Based on your

On the other hand, this paradigm does not presuppose contradictions aboutontological or epistemological assumptions since it is more important to respond to the situationfrom an empirical perspective [12].The methodological design of any research proposal must be intimately related to the paradigmand approaches, perspectives or appropriate positions by the researcher. In this way, the use of amixed investigation entails a design that integrates quantitative and qualitative methods in someor all of the parts of the process.

Thus, although we draw onMagali Larson’s (1977) notion of “professional project” to document how and when engineeringeducators act to bolster their professional image, it is as important to this study that we alsoemploy a basic understanding of the distinct professional configuration of engineering, and howthis configuration shapes the profession’s educational reform practices. In this respect, the earlystudies of the engineering profession remain an important point of departure (Layton 1971;McMahon 1984; Sinclair 1980; Reynolds 1983; also Noble 1977
