Exposure to engineers and what engineers dohelps students to envision and realize their capabilities as future engineers. Recognizing theinfluence of social messages, instructors could be more mindful in providing feedback and/orcomments regarding students’ work and abilities. Further examination of the sources ofengineering self-efficacy is recommended to understand how students’ perceptions of their Page 26.1386.14experiences relate to their achievement and retention in engineering

Assessing Critical Thinking in Mechanics in Engineering Education Chris Papadopoulos1, Adeeb Rahman2, and Josh Bostwick3 Typically, mechanics education in engineering schools focuses on communicating explicit content to students, but deemphasizes the critical thought that underlies the discipline of mechanics. We give examples of the failure of students to apply basic principles of mechanics in solving problems. We develop assessment tools to measure critical thinking in student work, and how well mechanics textbooks engage students in critical analysis. Both tools focus on the treatment of three criteria that we judge to be fundamental, but which are commonly overlooked or

He reflected on the worldwide community of scientistsand engineers and how they possess a unique ability to comprehend the potential benefits andrisks of scientific progress [2, p. 1]. Sakharov envisioned that, because of their education andtraining, scientists and engineers would be mindful of societal issues and ethical questions.Ideally, through their professional formation, they should develop an awareness of societal issuesand ethical questions that lead them to ponder the positive and negative directions of progressand its possible consequences.

Sense of belonging is a salient factor that enhances in-group feelingsthat confirm group membership and help develop stronger identity with the group [19]. Whileplanning and designing an intervention for empowering women in engineering classrooms, itshould be kept in mind whether the intervention is able to foster a sense of belonging in away that women feel they are a part of the engineering community.
