Physics: This is the second course in the first-year engineering experience and has Intro as a pre-requisite. Many of the experiments involve rely on Python code to interact with sensors and actuators. Therefore, a solid foundation in the skills from Intro is necessary.From the population of position-of-stress participants, a stratified sampling technique was usedto choose interview candidates in three categories of decreasing
least one candidate who would be offered a faculty position.The Dean and Search Chair reiterated to everyone involved that this was an open-disciplinesearch and that the only limitation was that applicants had to specialize in an area that would fitwithin any tenure-home engineering department. That excluded individuals whose faculty homewould have been in the college’s humanities/society/ethics or engineering education programs.Along with the Search Committee chair (Lewis), the search committee’s equity advisor andlogistics manager (Sandekian) collected and organized relevant research and materials fromcomparable searches nationwide and placed them into a shared Google Drive folder. Thisincluded the rubric and website materials developed by
involveintense identity exploration and a period of planning for the transition to a career and adulthood[1]. When coupled with the demands of rigorous academic coursework and requirements, thisperiod of development can present significant psychological challenges. Indeed, mental healthconcerns have been increasing on college campuses, as students report more symptoms of stress,depression, and anxiety [2], [3]. This is concerning given the evidence of the link betweenmental health during college and students’ academic achievement, retention, work-ethic, andsocial well-being [1], [4]. Perhaps more alarming is the fact that suicide is the second-leadingcause of death on college campuses [1], [5].Seeking help from mental health professionals is one way

The Introduction toSenior Project is a first semester 1 credit course, which covers a series of career related topicsrelated to engineering technology such as engineering codes and standards, engineering ethics,technical report writing, job search and resume writing techniques, patents and property rights,and professional engineering licensure. By the end of this course the students are expected todecide on a project topic, establish partnership with a faculty advisor for the project and submita project proposal. In the second semester, the actual Senior Project is a 3 credits course inwhich students work under advisor

cultures of college and universitycampuses across the U.S., international students still face difficulty as they enter the U.S. andbegin their education. Difficulty with the English language, culture shock, and differencesbetween the education systems in their home country and those of the U.S. are compounded bydiscriminatory behaviors and biases that many international students face in their everyday livesand classroom experiences [5]. Gaining a greater understanding of these experiences, how theydiffer from those of U.S. students, and how faculty and TAs can better support internationalstudents not only benefits the U.S. in many ways but is also an ethical responsibility for faculty,staff, and others involved in the lives of these

who spend more time on screen activities are more likely to be unhappy. 4) Mental Health/Insecurity - iGens are less happy. They feel more anxiety and depression which can lead to suicide. 5) Being Irreligious – Less students identify with a religious group. Only 28% of high school seniors attend church. If religion conflicts with science, iGens must choose sides, with science usually being the default. 6) Isolation/Safety and Community – There is a strong desire for safety in all areas of life. They smoke less, drink less, and drive less. iGens want emotional safety, especially on campus. They think it is a good idea to help others but are less likely to do so. 7) Income Insecurity/Work and Work Ethic

In the realm of professional development, these outcomes range fromintellectual and competency development to value constructs (e.g., ethics, professionalresponsibility, sustainability affect) and constructs of self-efficacy and professional identity(including sense of belonging, work self-efficacy, and

perception is prevalent among engineering professionals(Faulkner, 2007). When mapped onto a space such as a classroom or professor’s office hours orstudent group project meeting, the techno-social dualism may cause conversations and discourseto center around technical issues instead of social issues such as ethics, diversity/inclusion, andmental health as an engineering student. These forms of discourse lead to what Cech (2014) callsthe culture of disengagement, where she finds that engineering students are less concerned withpublic welfare issues as they get socialized to the profession. This is not to say that the culturalscript of primarily centering discourse around technical issues in engineering spaces dictates thekinds of conversations that

The researcher conducted verbal member checks with the studentsin the late afternoon on the last day of the pilot and written member checks with the Femineer®teachers and instructor two weeks after the pilot. Member checks enable feedback from theparticipants in the study to gain their insight to see if the researcher captured all of the dataaccurately [40].Ethics The IRB (IRB-18-139) approved this study as full board review.

In school, that was math and science, so I wanted something where I could use my strengths in my career.Kelsea was also motivated by the possibility that she would be able to make a difference bymajoring in engineering: “Related to helping others, I wanted to see what personal impact Icould have on society…like through invention in engineering.” She said that her “stronger-than-normal work ethic” and “diligence” helped her succeed in her

There is a big difference between you could use this unit operation or that unit being an advocate for something, and being a operation. And I said, well how about the policies policy wonk. A policy wonk has to sometimes that create cheap corn? When we have cheap corn, swallow their personal preference because they are then we have cheap beef, and therefore we have addressing something a bureaucrat or a politician more CAFOs. So, actually the tax on corn is just wants them to accomplish. Now you don’t set as important as the unit operation to get rid of aside your ethics and values, but you do have to methane. And
