discouraging motivations are competitive classroom environments andgrades [14]. While grades are an evaluation of student learning inferred by the instructor,students’ grades have been interpreted by students as a measure of success and achievement.Students with lower performance or grades, therefore, become less motivated and doubt theirabilities to be successful in the engineering program. Other educational factors reported asdiscouraging to students’ motivation were time commitment on course tasks and the quality ofteaching with large effects for female than male students [14]. Although grades reflect students’competence and indicate growing opportunities, how students interpret the grades to impact theirmotivation and persistence in

Full disclosure includes talking about any problems or challenges you encounter—and not just reporting on your successes. The evaluator can help you turn a challenge into a positive result. Acceptance of the dissonance that comes with sharing problems is useful for improving the project because it helps motivate change. b.

The course also provided an opportunity for students to get toknow about the community partners and be introduced to the project. We took field trips to thecommunity partner organizations and students were asked to share reflections on needs theyidentified, and hypothetical case studies were created out of the BOOST projects. The studentsalso learned to communicate and interact professionally with the community partners. Studentswere assigned to project teams and met with the faculty mentors to begin forming team bondsand brainstorming conceptual designs, and discussing potential ethical issues that

The results of the interviews were assessed through thematic content analysis. Theinterviews suggest that (1) that students do not continue with their projects because they cannottake time away from the paying jobs that are supporting their education, (2) that studentscompleting their junior year do not want to take time away from their senior-year studies, and(3) that students completing their senior year do not want to take the risk of pursuing a startupwhen they could instead obtain a “real” job.

The FSLMincorporates some elements of the Myers-Briggs [12] model and Kolb’s [11] experientiallearning model. The main reasoning for its selection in the DLMS evaluation is that it focuses onaspects of learning that are significant in engineering education.The FSLM consists of four dimensions, each with two contrasting learning styles.

Therefore, before describing the researchmethods used to assess engineering identity development of students in both departments, whatfollows is a summary of how the departments implicitly and explicitly attempt to developengineering identity, particularly in the non-traditional department.Engineering identity development in the non-traditional department is scaffolded across a rangeof activities, from project-based learning and reflection to the deliberate study of other identities,such as entrepreneur and leader.

First, existing studies in engineering educationresearch often make assumptions of what “counts” as an engineering career. Typically, onlypositions in industry or academia in engineering sectors are counted towards retention. Second,studies often treat career decision-making as a logical, cognitive process, ignoring the pervasiveinfluences of personal identities and belonging. The proposed study has

A low overall injury rate doesnot necessarily correlate to the degree of lab safety since some injuries will be unrelated to labwork. Actual injury rate is likely higher than the data shows because it only includes reportedinjuries above a certain threshold. The BLS tracks causes of days away of work by industry, butit groups education with health services, which is the industry with the highest injury rate.Therefore, no analysis was done on whether the types of injuries at universities could reflect labaccidents.Generally, city governments are responsible for building and fire safety.

The matrix includesnine design strategies that are fundamental to informed engineering design and include:understanding the challenge, building knowledge, generating ideas, representing ideas, weighingoptions and making decisions, conducting experiments, troubleshooting, revising or iterating,and reflecting on the process. In addition to identifying these strategies, the authors describelearning progressions to highlight the range of design behaviors that develop from beginningdesigners to informed designers.The design strategies in the Informed Design Teaching and Learning Matrix are intended to beused
