There are a few more factors and questions to consider before addressingthe central hypothesis of Section 1: • Physics is often required in game programming jobs [41]. • The math required is non-trivial, and cursory coverage in other courses will not suffice if someone wants to pursue this career path. • Mathematics helps to reinforce problem-solving skills. • Games tend to be extremely good for

These advisers work with incoming engineering students, starting the summer beforethey arrive, and continuing through their first year. The advisers utilize the Advising-as-Teaching model and collaborate on advising and mentoring students, facilitated by having co-located offices in a suite. Advisers work with each student to collaboratively determine thestudent’s educational goals and develop a path for her to achieve those goals.Each adviser’s primary objectives are to: • Each assist ~100 first-year students with their major selection and academic planning, then serve as a resource throughout their undergraduate careers; • Teach three courses

With that said, recent scholarship on engineering identity has also described theimportance of performance/competence for success, although these considerations alone areinsufficient for encouraging the pursuit of an engineering career [28]. Rather, performance andcompetence are mediated by interest and recognition. As we draw a parallel, it may be thatconfidence in one’s ability to be innovative is insufficient for identifying as an innovator.Simultaneously, one might also need personal and

Of course internships are often unscripted experiences in which learning is emergentand is unique to each learner in each situation (Grose, 2017). In addition, on many campuses,the management of internships is highly decentralized, there is no common vocabulary forarticulating now internships fit into student careers, and most assessment of internships is a longway from capturing their full potential as learning activities (Grose, 2017).To make the connection between academic learning and workplace learning, universities arecreating signature assignments and

Similar to the writing acrossthe curriculum movement of years past, EAC proponents integrate the study of ethics intocourses in the major, rather than farming it out to a philosophy department.
