The number of ‘familyfarms’, where young people are raised in conjunction with livestock and agricultural equipment,has fallen dramatically, while corporate farms have risen [3]. This has adversely affected thenumber of young people that have grown up with agricultural experiences, making recruitingpeople to work in agricultural operations more challenging and difficult [2].

A big part of artificialintelligence and big data is concerned with software development, which often relies on effectivedebugging strategies. Debugging is a process in which a failure is observed, identified, andremoved [1], and it is estimated that 35-50% of the time spent building solutions is debugging[2].Different tools and strategies are believed to help programmers debug programs. Nowadays,debugging tools exist within Integrated Developing Environments (IDEs) in addition to otherspecific scenarios (e.g., [3]–[6]).

Engineering courses should not onlyhelp students learn technical content but should also help them develop the skills of goal setting,expectation development, reflection, and self-assessment. This paper aims to address thefollowing two research questions: 1) What are the effects of self-efficacy, goal setting, andreflection on undergraduate engineering students? 2) What would a practical model forimplementing these

The results of this interaction werethat the student made it successfully through the semester and is finishing their program in goodstanding. The final takeaways from this experience are the use of empathic mentoring, being thechange that one wishes to be in engineering education, and taking extreme ownership of one’smentoring role to develop and guide their mentees.IntroductionEngineering as a discipline has had a reputation for having a difficult curriculum where manystudents do not succeed [1]–[7].

We assessed writing with four methods: 1) faculty surveys, assignment reviews, studentwork reviews, and compiling resources.Faculty SurveysOne of the most significant motivators for this project is the faculty’s perception of student writing.In many meetings where we discuss student performance, faculty regularly mention variousaspects of student writing being inadequate.

such as mechanical andcivil engineering [1]. The tools of the engineer in students’ minds are often closer to a hammer ora wrench rather than a test tube or beaker, and thus their conception of engineering is oftenlimited at best [1]. This can get further complicated by the lack of interdisciplinarity exemplifiedin the engineering classroom. When engineering instruction is scaled at the university level, thereis the potential to lose interdisciplinarity as well as too much emphasis on limited topics relevantto the field of engineering [2]. When this happens, the curriculum may revert to limiting thecurriculum to the most popular images of engineering, fields such as mechanical, civil, andcomputer engineering [1].The goal of this work is to

While reflection is vital to promote learning,historically, reflection receives less attention in engineering education when compared to otherfields [1]. Yet, cultivating more reflective engineers yields several important benefits includingbuilding self-efficacy and empowering student agency. Through continued practice, engineeringstudents can develop a habit of reflective thinking which increases students’ ability to transferknowledge across contexts.
