Even if they don’t get feedback from employers, there are peer advisors, faculty, staff, and alumni who are happy to work with them to provide input and support throughout their search.Theme 2: Finding the Right OptionsMany students reported that they chose Mechanical Engineering because of the breadth ofopportunities that it presented, then struggled to identify the opportunities that would be mostrelevant or most interesting to them. That issue was compounded by both the hidden job market(i.e.: small companies often don’t post and promote positions in the same way large companiesdo) and the lack of specificity in job postings, with second and third-year engineering studentsoften not having the base of knowledge yet to

There, she hides the competencies learned in her community as they do not look as cutting edge as the robotics and design examples in the models of engineering portfolios.

First-year studentsare typically in a period of social and academic transition, during which they are more likelyto engage with new perspectives and unfamiliar peers. In contrast, third-year students mayhave already formed more stable social networks and academic identities, potentially limitingtheir openness to intercultural engagement.

They emphasized creating safe environments with constructive critique and allowingstudents to engage deeply in tasks like designing experiments and analyzing data.

She is especially interested in how power relationships and rhetorical strategies affect group judgment in engineering design; one goal of this work is to to understand factors that inhibit full participation of students who identify with historically marginalized groups and investigate evidence-based strategies for mitigating these inequities. In addition, she is interested in technology and how specific affordances can change the ways we collaborate, learn, read, and write. Teaching engineering communication allows her to apply this work

Professions have rich and historically- rooted cultures that are built into and around their knowledge, skills, and practices. Professional cultures are the sets of beliefs, myths, and rituals that give meaning to the intellectual content and practices of a profession.

Two of these write-in options maybe added to the revised survey before national dissemination (do not assess; in-class discussions).No individuals in this survey were using an individual standardized assessment method; the lackof use of these instruments may point to the fact that many instructors may not be aware of theseinstruments, perhaps due to lack of formal training in ethics instruction. Alternatively, it mayreflect the difficulty of creating standardized instruments that measure students’ knowledgeand/or attitudes toward macroethical issues and/or a lack of faculty confidence in suchinstruments.
