Specifically, students’ pathwaysin the future have been found to be influenced by the experiences one has in middle school [10]For example, when eighth graders had expectations for a STEM-related career, they were 3.4 timesmore likely to earn a STEM related undergraduate degree compared to students without similarexpectations [11].Concerns Based Adoption Model (CBAM)The Concerns Based Adoption Model (CBAM) is an established framework that is used to describecurriculum adoption in K-12 educational settings [12].

Educatorsmust therefore be cognizant that learners will have varied backgrounds that will influence theirapproach to learning new or developing resilience competencies.Second, resilience is dynamic and fluid. A person’s current reality - the context of one’s currentcareer path, educational process and learner age group, health, career or family dynamics - allshape resilience responses. The challenge for educators is to identify and facilitate opportunitiesto more deliberately mentor resilience as part of the active learning experience.

Teaching rapid prototyping in conjunction with design can significantly enhance students’experience with the design process.

One goal of a first-yearengineering program is to effectively introduce students to a variety of engineering disciplines sothat they can make appropriate choices for their careers at an early stage, but for somedisciplines, creating engaging lab experiences can be challenging. This paper introduces the ISElab presently being used by an honors first-year engineering program at The Ohio StateUniversity. The focus of the lab is to introduce the ideas of Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigmaas well as different manufacturing systems used in industry. The lab was originally created inconjunction with

Many students also expressed a somewhat neutral or negative sentiment about beingaccepted to the engineering college, noting that it was something that was expected of them orwas simply not exciting to them. Several students discussed finances when discussing theirfeelings about starting school, even though only one student used a word related to finances onthe survey. Most students discussed finances in a positive way (in that they received financial aidor a lower tuition at this university) but one student discussed it as being a detriment to theirexcitement about starting college.The fact that the focus group

While it is absolutely valid thesestudents would feel frustrated or anxious when encountering their first or second ill-definedproblem, their idea that engineering problems are math problems, and therefore have one rightanswer does not match what students will experience in their engineering careers. Previousstudies have shown junior and senior students see ill-defined problems as workplace problemsand well-defined problems as school problems [10], so it could be these students have not havehad enough professional experiences to have developed a sense of the engineering field yet. Oneof these two students interviewed seemed to understand this idea

Vocational decisions involvenot only thinking about a career, but also about the community, discourses, values, andrelationships that encompass the quest for meaning and purpose in life. Thus, the integration ofvocational education in engineering curricula can be very transformative for students as itencourages them to reflect on, and even reconcile, their values and their engineering identity.Research indicates that certain aspects of engineering education curricula, such as thedepoliticization of engineering and the myth of

It is unknown whether thatmastery carries on to their careers, but it still good that the students have better mastery of thecourse material while taking the course. But why is this the case? We propose three possibleexplanations, all of which may contribute to the improved performance. First, there is the simpleobservation that the use of the homework quiz method promotes better course attendance, at leaston the days when quizzes are being given. As nearly half the classes in which new coursematerial is covered has a quiz, improved attendance exposes a larger number of students to thelecture on this new material.

Within this debate it is generally assumed that the curriculum is the arenain potential need of reform [3]–[5]. Curriculum reform deliberations tend to operate at arelatively high level, with a central tension between “theory” (engineering and basic sciencecontent) and “practice” (professional skills, often in project type context) [6].A relatively recent focus for global curriculum discussions has been the spread of outcomes-based criteria for accreditation through the mechanism of the
