persistence, goal setting, andresilience. The persistence factors highlighted in this study include students’ motivation andcommitment to their educational goals4.MotivationStudents are motivated to enter and complete engineering programs by a myriad of sources.Parents, teachers, mentors, and even other students provide the kind of guidance and supportneeded to complete an engineering degree program5. Some students require a great deal ofsupport from teachers and mentors, while others persist on limited support or under their ownvolition. In this study, students that are motivated out of “a true sense of choice, a sense offeeling free in doing what [s/he] has chosen to do” are considered dogged6.An important aspect of motivation is found in the

this test were surprisingly accurate, considering the simplicity of the setup.Deflection values agreed with the calculated values to within 1 or 2 mm. It should be noted thatthe students did not find this exercise to be completely straight-forward. Because of the nodenumbering scheme, several made mistakes in assembling the system stiffness matrix or applyingthe boundary conditions. However, these errors provided an opportunity for teaching theimportance of checking the reasonableness of the solution. One common error involved placingthe terms of spring 4’s stiffness matrix in the wrong locations in the system matrix (as if spring 4connected nodes 3 and 4 rather than nodes 4 and 5). In this case, the calculated displacement fornode 5 was zero

industrial advisory boardsand employers of engineering graduates has brought to the forefront that practical know-howmust be integrated into engineering education. It is not enough to be “book smart.” Industrywants engineers who are flexible, savvy and can produce quality results in real world situations.Higher education must find ways to educate engineering students with both practical andtheoretical knowledge to ensure the student’s success.ABET1 has led the charge by instituting learning outcomes for accreditation. Many of theseoutcomes are not technical but are considered “soft skills.” Soft skills include interpersonal,“people” skills.
