Although engineers do not diagnose patients, theydo require a similar skillet that is necessary for complex problem solving in groups, such asadequate observational, listening, and interpersonal skills required to discuss open-endedproblems and scenarios. How this technique helps shape engineering students’ interpersonalskills has not been previously studied. This study uses VTS as a guided practice activity toobserve its effects on engineering students' preference towards teamwork, which is measuredthrough the validated instrumentation of Collective Orientation [7].

Thus, unlike mostworkforce retention research, this study focuses on participants who are still in the midst of thiscritical phase of their careers. We investigated what engineering graduates say about how andwhy they make early career pathway choices. The motivations for their choices were examinedthrough the lens of gender differences (and similarities) while resting on the fundamentalpsychological framework provided by self-determination theory (SDT). SDT has demonstratedthat the more behaviors are autonomously motivated, the more stable, the more fulfilling, and

CollegeAbstractThe engineering education in China has made a lot of promising changes recently. The Chineseeducators are actively aligning their teaching styles, course materials and utilization of availableresources with the popular practices in the western countries (such as the US). The authors of thepaper piloted a graduate course, Advanced Manufacturing Systems, in spring 2014 at YangzhouUniversity in China. An American classroom environment was simulated in this course. It wastaught in English and covered a wide range of up-to-date manufacturing topics. It was alsoproject-based and involved large amounts of in-class discussions. The student feedback wasexciting.

characteristics of effective PD identified in the literature include:(i) sufficient duration; (ii) focus on subject matter; (iii) hands-on activities; (iv) attention toproblems of practice; and (v) institutional support for implementation. It is further suggested thatteacher learning is best promoted by a set of complementary approaches, such as summer PD andonline discussions as follow up [24].Traditionally, the focus of teacher PD programs has been on preparing teachers to follow, ratherthan to create or adapt, innovative, research-based curriculum materials [25]. However, whenteachers do not understand the underlying model of the expert-designed curricula provided tothem, they tend to pick and choose elements of the new curriculum to fit their
differences in such factors as climate, natural resources, and economic conditions. Thus, technology use varies from region to region and over time (MS-ETS1-1). ● New technologies can have deep impacts on society and the environment, including some that were not anticipated. Analysis of costs and benefits is a critical aspect of decisions about technology (HS-ETS1-1 and 1-3).Yet, helping youth understand the complexities of sociotechnical issues in engineering is nosmall feat, and teachers and researchers alike struggle to support students’ understanding of themultiple and multi-faceted factors involved in implementing engineered solutions to address ahuman need or desire.

Project-based learning in which students are given a specificaudience to understand and design for is one way in which students learn to create value withtheir technical skills. Projects with simulated or real-world applications also provide students theopportunity to practice situational curiosity [5].Effective science communication is particularly necessary in the process of commercializingtechnology. When engineers create goods and services that are to have a societal impact oraddress a need, it is crucial for their success that the value of these
