relationships. Interactions within mentoringrelationships can be negatively impacted if there is a lack of self-awareness for one or moreparties. To increase an individual’s self-awareness, practices in self-reflection may provideopportunities to gain insight, leading to a deeper level of understanding. However, there islimited research in the field of engineering education that considers self-awareness specificallyas an aspect of research mentoring relationships. The goal of this study was to assess the currentclimate of STEMM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine) graduatestudent researchers’ self-awareness using the Self-Reflection and Insight Scale, with emphasis onengineering graduate students.

First,they are a large untapped population; the Department of Veteran’s Affairs (VA) estimates that2.1 million of today’s veterans served on active duty at least 30 days. 9 Second, the diversitythose veterans bring. More than 14 million active duty members are women, 30% come fromracial minority groups and 10% are Hispanic. 9 In 2008, more than 93% of active-duty enlistedmembers were high school graduates, while 6% had GEDs. 11 Third a large number of thepopulation has engineering or technology related occupations.

Using the Canadian Engineering AccreditationBoard (CEAB) Graduate Attributes criteria and drawing from the Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate (CDIO) Initiative as the basis for evaluation, a detailed analysis of the strengths andweaknesses of the two design courses in terms of learning outcomes is explored.IntroductionAs technology continues to advance, it becomes increasingly important for engineering graduatesto have strong design skills, in order to meet the widely varied requirements of industry1.

IntroductionThe average workday of a civil engineer requires the use of “soft skills” (non-technical skills)9.Many students will assume managerial duties early (10 years or less) into their career1. Manysituations in professional life (in the both management and technical aspects) require theapplication of ethical principles.According to the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), criteria forengineering programs in the United States must introduce students to the ethical, social,economic, and safety issues that arise from the practice of engineering.

In this article, persistence is defined ascontinued university enrollment (retention) while working toward completing a programor degree (Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education, Retention, 2007). As noted inFigure 1, from 1966-2004 women nationally earned substantially more bachelor’sdegrees in non-S&E fields than did men. This finding has financial implications as it iswell noted that graduates of programs in the STEM fields (science, technology,engineering and math) earn higher salaries than those in non-STEM

PVC.SummaryEveryday real life situations present potential for case studies. The physical situation and effectsare generally reported in the media. These reports are written for lay public and are easy tocomprehend. These situations can be expanded to probe further into the causes and remedies ofthe problems, while utilizing the concepts and fundamentals of science and engineering. It is aninteresting teaching tool and students can relate to the practical aspects of engineering ineveryday life.References1. Castaneda, Ruben, The Washington Post, Page B2, Tuesday, Feb 20, 2001.2.

ABET 2000 represents amajor change from previous accreditation criteria in that (1) it offers engineering programs moreflexibility in determining how to meet objectives and (2) it focuses on outcomes rather thansimply on input.One of the outcomes that has received increased emphasis is improved communication skills.According to Criterion 3, “Program Outcomes and Assessment,” basic-level engineeringprograms must demonstrate that their graduates have abilities and knowledge in eleven areas,including “an ability to communicate effectively.” Criteria for advanced-level programs are thesame as for basic level
