technology as career fields. This survey instrument was chosen forthis study as the instrument is currently being used to examine effects of makerspaces andmaking projects on engineering students (Morocz et al, 2015; Morocz et al, 2016: and Talley etal, 2016). These other ongoing studies allow comparisons of this preliminary data to those ofother student groups in future work. As the students in this study were in a senior design course,it was expected that their engineering design self-efficacy would increase as a result of thecourse and project as observed by Miskioglu (2016) in a similar study of engineering design self-efficacy in a senior design course. This preliminary data was collected to compare to futuresemesters, when not all students

Additionally, data on the students’familiarity with mechanical engineering (like if they had mechanical engineers in their family)was also unavailable and could have affected variations in student perceptions as well.Conclusions and Implications This study was positioned to inform a larger study of student experiences with possibledata on what students were expecting of their experience of mechanical engineering.

Such challenges would likely be deployed on a regional basis, and beoffered more frequently than the twice per year global online game. In addition, the EAC’s emphasis ontransdisciplinary integration makes it a potential platform for universities to give accepted engineeringstudents (e.g. students between secondary & university education) a fun overview of engineering’s role inshaping civilization, to help students envision career “missions”. Additionally, future EACs may giveeducators the option to customize the game according to degree program learning objectives, and seamlessintegration with learning management systems (LMS) such as Blackboard, to augment courses with

– Global Practices1. IntroductionCompetency Based Education (CBE), which focus on flexibility, mastery of abilities and the roleof the professor as a coach, is fast expanding worldwide. This is the result of an approach thatresponds to current global needs. Universities are aware of the changes and challenges ahead,and are committed to developing “global citizens” 1. One dimension they are working on, is theinternationalization of their students.The promotion of scientific and technological careers is on the agenda of international agenciesand countries.

Ideally, to testgains across a given span of time, data is collected longitudinally, tracking an individual acrosstheir college career. Because we assume that regardless of student ability and demographicbackground, as whole, students will have higher learning gains as they progress through theengineering program, we assert that by aggregating and averaging out values over different classstanding groups can provide insights similar to that of a longitudinal study.Figures 1 and 2, where average scores are examined across learning components and stage levelsfor different class levels.
