Integrating findings from this project with an independent study of non-traditionalstudents will deepen our understanding of older students, only some of whom are transfers.Focus a current manuscript-in-progress on first-generation engineering transfer students and therole of two-year colleges in facilitating transitions to four-year institutions. First-generationstudents are more likely to begin their college careers at a two-year colleges and two-yearcolleges are an important source of engineering majors. This paper uses an asset-based approachand social capital theory to understand and explain academic persistence and student

However, not all departments support the idea of a multidisciplinarycapstone because they fear it will negatively impact their ability to meet their department’sspecific curricular needs, and ensure ABET requirements are met. The administration andfacilitation of a multidisciplinary capstone takes significant resource dedication, and asustainable structure would need to be built the appropriate infrastructure to ensure futuresuccess.Implications and RecommendationsMultidisciplinary capstone has much support across campus, as it reflects experiences studentswill

However few classroom teachers have had thebenefit of exposure to engineering design before beginning their teaching career. Just like theirstudents, early exposure in the undergraduate curriculum that enriches future teachers’knowledge of engineering and technology and its relationship to the world would benefit thesecandidates.Project based learning (PBL) and the engineering design process are a natural pedagogical fit.PBL is focused on knowledge and

In addition to team building, we view theengineering design course as a “career molding” experience by showing the exciting, hand-onside of engineering. We believe all of these aspects contribute to the improvement of studentretention rates.In this paper, we will address the motivation for redesigning our engineering experience for firstyear students and re-shuffling of the CE 4-year plan based on observations and student

While this project was a useful exercise toengage students in engineering design, they often had no quantitative basis for their designproposal. Instead, they often relied on intuition and preferences as opposed to being data-driven.In the present course offering, the design project was restructured to (1) utilize the data-drivenQS methodology and (2) focus on the development of concepts for devices to aid individualswith
