Minorities in Engineering

, in2000’s decade, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has developed a program tomotivate female high school students to pursue engineering [28]. However, these programs,although achieving relative success, involved students with a pre-existing interest in engineering-related careers. Also, these programs contained a very low part of female population of highschool in the U.S. [28].Similarly, the governments of other countries have recognized the importance of increasinginterest in the field of engineering and have developed policies to motivate women to work in thefield. For example, in March 2002, the Norwegian government passed legislation requiring that40 percent of the executive board of director members should be women by the year

educating future professionals with engineering principles integrated with practical experience. Twelve programs in the United States offer four-year bachelor degrees in general Engineering Technology (1). General Engineering Technology degree programs offer an interdisciplinary platform. In addition, many discipline specific engineering technology degrees are offered at the bachelor‟s level. For example, ninety-four ABET accredited programs offer bachelor degrees in Electrical Engineering Technology in the U.S.A. Similarly, sixty-six and six ABET accredited bachelor degree programs are offered in Mechanical Engineering Technology and Industrial Engineering Technology in the United States, respectively (1).

The conference workshop attendees reported adding new classroom activities(19 responses) and sharing workshop information/ideas with colleagues (11 responses) mostfrequently. Many participants also said they expected to use other ideas from these workshops intheir future teaching (18 responses). The curriculum design workshop was designed to help withcourse and program

to determine the oral presentation grade. Near the completion of the course, the attributes and characteristics sheets originally prepared and submitted by each student, but now including all of the comments from their group members evaluating the student‟s performance as PM, are complied and given back to the students. Therefore, at the conclusion of the course, students have a clear record of their individual performance as PMs as measured against their own initial list of the attributes and characteristics of a ‘good’ PM. This seems to be an extremely effective summary document as part of this approach to introducing, stressing and measuring project management performance.Student Reflections

These students worked together with S&Tgraduate students to generate a working solution. This created a diverse work environment, andgave students experience collaborating as a member of a very heterogeneous group.

assist with this goal, students were encouraged, early in the term, to discover reallife examples of mechanisms with an aim to promote curiosity and foster interest in learning.Throughout the term, a design project was introduced which required students not only to applyfundamentals of kinematics and dynamics, but also to exercise skills in teamwork, collaborativelearning and communication. A student survey was conducted at the end of the course and theefficacy of the approach was assessed.IntroductionThe University of British Columbia‟s Okanagan campus was established in 2005 in Kelowna,British Columbia.

Introduction One advantage of establishing any organization is the opportunity to rethink the accepted structures and implement innovative programs. The Student Design Teams of Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T) strive to create an analog for real world design and construction problems by creating an experiential learning environment. In early 2012, the Mars Rover Design Team (MRDT) became the newest addition to their number. The MRDT structure is organized like an engineering firm and operates like a small business with principle technical and administrative branches.

reasoning to exploreself-efficacy.Self-Efficacy and Self-RegulationThe lack of progress in retaining women and minorities in engineering is partially due tostudents’ self-efficacy. Self-efficacy refers to a person’s belief that s/he is capable of takingaction to achieve a certain goal, such as completion of a college degree. Self-efficacy is formedby a person’s mastery experiences (previous success leads a person to believe s/he is capable ofcompleting a similar task), vicarious experiences (when a person sees someone else completing atask and believes s/he could do the same), social persuasions (supportive people in a person’s lifesuch as teachers, family, or mentors), and physiological reactions to a task (anxiety, etc.).Self-efficacy relates to

Identified During Idea GenerationStrategy Description I. Reduce usage To reduce the usage of any energy-consuming device(s). This could be using the devices less often, turning them to a lower power setting, offering fewer devices, or reducing the amount a device needs to be used without changing its efficiency. Solutions ranged from turning off half of the lights to using personal fans instead of AC. II. Increase To replace current energy-consuming devices with those that will be similarly effective but efficiency use less energy. Common examples include replacing incandescent light bulbs with energy- efficient bulbs such as CFL or LED

guided discovery approach posits that any subject can be taught effectively in someintellectually honest form to any child at any stage of development. A constructivist approach tolearning and teaching is based on the notion that learners construct their own knowledge ratherthan knowledge being transferred into learners‟ brains.8-10 Learners‟ construction of knowledgeis based on their past knowledge, the timeliness of new knowledge, and the learner‟s ability tounderstand the connections. This process forces learners to either modify existing knowledge ordevelop new knowledge.

Technology (ETEC), with at least 50 sustainingenrollments of 200+ students in fall 2010 according to ASEE data. On the other hand, since the1980’s only about 14 institutions have created master’s degrees in ETEC. Some M.S. programshave evolved from Master of Science in Technology (M.S.T.) or Master of Technology (M.T.)versions. One fundamental question posed in the debate is whether ETEC curricula rise to thenecessary scientific rigor of traditional M.S. degrees. This paper asserts that the M.S. in ETECshould stand on equal footing with M.S. programs in any other field and particularly inengineering when viewed from the perspective of (i) the scientific level of graduate ETECcourses; (ii) the roles that ETEC graduates perform in the engineering
