betweenengineering self-efficacy and value-expectancy for students on a pre-engineering track versusthose who are not. Building off this recognition, educators can also dynamically develop acurriculum that ensures all students understand how to apply engineering design and why it isapplicable in a range of situations, even if they don’t find much value in it or intend to pursueengineering.To begin achieving this end, the Engineering Design Value Expectancy Scale (EDVES) wascreated and resulted from the analysis of several tools already in existence: the Value-ExpectancySTEM Assessment Scale (VESAS), the Value-Expectancy Model of Motivation, Carberry’sDesign Self-Efficacy Instrument, and the STEM Career Interest Survey (STEM-CIS) [3-6].

desired mentorship programoutcomes. This mapping process is demonstrated with two case studies: one a mentoringprogram for incoming first-year students and a second for faculty at career transitions.1 IntroductionMentorship is grounded in the connection and relationship between individuals. Mentorship canprovide an individual with the basic understanding and learning outside of their own perspective.Through mentoring, individuals working with others may be able to increase their success andsatisfaction in themselves, their work, and their career. Beyond themselves, an individual mayalso develop an understanding of others by gaining insight into other’s different perspectives.Through the growth potential in mentoring, an individual may identify

The study underscores theimportance of mentoring support during the crisis of a pandemic.IntroductionThe pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has severely affected the highereducation system since Spring 2020. In engineering fields, the outbreak disrupted faculty andstudents’ daily school routine, which typically includes in-person classes, laboratory research,and mentoring activities. Funded by the National Science Foundation (DGE-2031069; DGE-2051263), this research project investigated the life and educational challenges faculty andstudents in engineering fields encountered during the pandemic, and examined how mentoringactivities supported students’ academic, career, and mental health outcomes.We appreciate the invitation

andmentors, seeing women that look like them is a significant factor in both recruitment and retention [2, 3].Data showed that in the U.S. only 6% of 15-year old young women are interested in engineering careers[1]. Researchers believe that the low level of interest in young women is due to lack of exposure and thebelief that it is too hard and by engaging young women with university faculty and women engineers inthe industry as early as middle school could result in a higher interest to pursue engineering education inthe future [2]. A program at Worcester Polytechnic Institute showed that early intervention was associatedwith better engineering and university recruitment outcomes [4].

However, this typeof academic and skill preparation oftentimes excludes students who are typically underrepresentedin STEM.As institutions of higher education, community colleges play a crucial role in STEM pathways: in2012, community colleges enrolled nearly half of all U.S. undergraduates [4], and nearly half ofall students in the U.S. who receive STEM bachelor’s degrees complete some undergraduatetraining in community colleges [5].

Many have previously learned in traditional engineering classes, and have not beenexposed to best practices in flipped learning. And finding or developing materials whicheffectively convey key concepts for diverse learning styles can be particularly challenging. Forthese reasons, developing curricular materials and managing the logistics required to flip acourse is time-consuming [2, 3], especially for faculty establishing research portfolios.Redesigning a course to use a flipped instructional design requires early career faculty toconsider tenure criteria and productivity [4].This paper describes efforts in one university’s mechanical engineering

As described in this report, the preparation of the future civil engineer and the fulfillment of the CEBOK must include both formal education and mentored experience. Early career experience, specifically experience that progresses with increasing complexity, quality, and responsibility, and that is mentored by those who are practicing civil engineering at the professional level, is a necessary part of a civil engineer’s attainment of the CEBOK.

OverviewMost engineering students see industry or research career paths as binary. In their minds, aperson can either focus on research (academic career) or design and management (industrial orprofessional career). This perception has a negative impact on the profession as it leads to missedopportunities to solve practical problems by applying new fundamental research, as well asbasing fundamental research on current engineering problems.Smart Structures Technologies (SST) is receiving considerable attention as the demands for highperformance in structural systems increase. Although both the academic and professionalengineering worlds are seeking ways to utilize SST, there is a significant gap betweenengineering science and engineering practice. To
