For example, teachers’ self-efficacy in teaching mathematics,or the lack thereof, significantly impacts students’ attainment in mathematics5. Thus, aninstrument to measure teacher self-efficacy towards teaching is context and domain-specific4. Inorder to adequately address needs of teachers and to evaluate the success of teacher professionaldevelopment programs for K-12 Engineering, an instrument for teaching engineering self-efficacy needs to be developed and rigorously tested.Theoretical FrameworkSelf-efficacy is one’s personal belief about his or her capability to take an action toward anattainment6.

One way of integrating global competency learning intothe engineering curriculum is through study abroad programs [3]. These programs range induration such as two-week or summer-long time frames and focus on context, country, andlanguage-learning components. However, one of the main barriers for these programs isaccessibility and the lack of flexibility in engineering curricula. Hence, some programs offershort international experiences during the summer to allow students to participate

However, prior studies suggest that the creativity of mechanicalengineering students decreases over the course of an engineering program. This paperinvestigates the latter claim, and searches for ways to increase creativity of engineering students.Firstly, a four-year longitudinal study investigates the changes in design self-efficacy and designcreativity of students in an engineering program1. Over the course of an engineering curriculum,the design self-efficacy and creativity of the students should increase. This longitudinal studytracked one cohort of students for four years, which resulted in two sets of data: within

college by providing an ME-intensive course that allows students to apply the requiredmath and science curriculum and promoting early engagement in the field of engineering. Buildingon the notion of lack of identification with the field of engineering (especially amongunderrepresented groups [34]), research indicates that freshmen are 1.5 times less likely to identifyas engineers compared with sophomores, juniors, or seniors [38], and a review of retentionresearch indicates that students with lower self-confidence and/or self-efficacy are more likely toleave engineering fields [14]. Thus, there is a potential for FIRE to have significant impact onminimizing attrition rates. By engaging students in research and connecting them with faculty at

Introduction Undergraduate research should be an important part of our Engineering Technology (ET)curriculum because it better prepares our students for the graduate school. This additionalexperience also helps our majors in their career regardless of the job type because they learn towork independently as undergraduate researchers. However, it has been our observation that ETstudents are far less motivated to do research and report writing than those in other fields such asBiology, Chemistry and Physics. This is more apparent at Middle Tennessee State University(MTSU) since we have a large number

First-year engineering programsoften take on the task of providing students with engineering experiences to help mold theirexpectations of what an engineer does and what various engineering disciplines are available tothem in an effort to improve retention [2].As many different first-year engineering (FYE) programs have shown, students can beintroduced to engineering experiences earlier in their education through course work, designprojects, or lab experiences. A challenge of this discipline-exposure component of a first-yearengineering curriculum is how to efficiently use course time to introduce so many differentengineering disciplines in ways that are impactful and meaningful to students.

For example, the assessment of teamwork skills in the academic setting might take place through a variety of projects, activities, and labs scattered throughout the curriculum. (Not every course is conducive to assessment of teamwork!) However, these are often very discrete events and the faculty member may have limited access to observe the student interactions. In contrast, an employer can work closely with a student on a full-time basis over an extended period of time. Since most industry settings rely heavily on teamwork skills, we believe that the supervisor is much

During an in-class session, students learn how to brainstorm the values and norms of stakeholders that theyidentify, and then integrate those values into design criteria such that it benefits a broader swathof the community. The students then applied the VSD concepts to a course project that requiredthem to create design criteria that satisfied stakeholder’s needs beyond the original client.
