Additionally the reflexive component of the professional developmentcourse prepared these students for a deeper reflection of how the industry experience puts theirlearning at university into context.The protocol used for the focus groups is based on critical incident techniques35-38 to elicitinstances of accidental learning. Critical incidents are detailed accounts of real-worldexperiences of the participants. In the area of competency research critical incident techniqueswere shown to be more reliable than for example expert’s panel methods or respondents’opinions both of which are

ABET summary reports are utilized in lieu of adaily learning log for the on-campus portion of the ISD course.

While the survey was administered to alarger sample, we limited the present analysis to students who self-identified as studyingtowards an engineering major in both years and who answered at least two of the three designquestions. The final longitudinal sample included responses from 110 students, across thefour institutions.Demographic information was gathered from students in the first year of the APS. Genderwas determined based on students’ self-reports. Reflecting the oversampling of women inthe APS study, 37% of the participants in this sample were women (n = 41).Students also were identified in terms of what we refer to as representation status in thispaper—that is

The EE enrollment was significantly impacted by low enteringnumbers, which are based on recruitment. This reflects the general trend in the state of Texas andthe nation.

The learning style inventory results in four measures showing preferences betweenactive/reflective, sequential/global, visual/verbal and sensing/intuitive. The results of the surveywill be used to get an agglomerative measure of the learning style distributions that can becompared across different demographic factors.

As noted previously, sketches can also beturned into solid features through a sweep or loft process. Extrusions pull the sketch normalto the sketch plane, while a revolved feature rotates the sketch around an axis. Sweepingmoves the sketch along a path made up of straight or curved geometry, while lofting usesmultiple sketches to transition from one shape to another. Each sketch is linked to itsresulting feature. If the user goes and edits the sketch, the feature will update to reflect thechange. Normally each sketched feature will require its own sketch.When designing

broader impacts of engineering, enhances systems thinking, reflects sustainable engineeringpractices, and helps prepare students to make an impact in the global community. Project-basedlearning approaches that emphasize student learning rather than instructor teaching may be a keyto successful development of “global engineers.” Evaluations of project-based courses showincreases in student motivation, problem-solving ability, communication and teaming skills,knowledge retention, and capacity for self-directed learning. Despite these reported benefits,curriculum-wide implementations of project-based learning are rare, probably partly due to thetraditional emphasis on technical content acquisition in upper-level courses and a lack of clearmethods

Therefore, we wanted to investigate whether or not the Math ACT score isstill a sufficiently accurate method of placement into Calculus I.

Differences in extra session entries is entirelydue to the fact that Drushel always recorded this non-graded statistic, Chiel did sometimes butnot consistently, and Beer never did (personal communications). Thus, only the mean value inthe Drushel sample (2.36 ± 0.22, S.E.M.) is a valid indicator of the probable frequency of extrasession records in the entire student population.

Progress in this area is mitigated by the lack of women faculty currently part of the UVaEngineering faculty. This is also reflective of the low proportion of women in Engineeringnationwide. However, female faculty serve as important role models for the participants and it ishelpful to the male as well as the female participants to see a gender balance among theirmentors. The most important aim regarding the faculty remains to have them serve as supportivementors for the participants, regardless of gender or ethnicity, since “faculty can discouragewomen with
