This coursework includes: ● A first-year STARS seminar facilitated by STARS advising staff, which offers a space for students to reflect on their learning and educational experiences; brainstorm strategies for self-improvement; and develop “master schedules” to improve students’ time management and study skills. The seminar also provides an overview of non-STARS university resources for students such as counseling services and writing and tutoring centers. Students participating in the seminar also receive professional development opportunities through collaboration with the College of Engineering community and career centers.

So I want todevelop my own ideas and break the inherent thinking mode through the learning ofthe course. –Kevin In terms of what they have already acquired through the program, all theparticipants emphasized that they had broadened their horizons and learned aboutfrontier knowledge and technology through a course specifically designed for suchpurpose (Selected Topics in Engineering Frontiers). Secondly, they had gained relevantknowledge of other fields and improved abilities of interdisciplinary thinking. Inaddition, students mentioned that they

Engineering Design required significantlymore software to be used. For understanding project management, GanntProject was used. For variousdesign stages, Dia was used for mind-mapping as well as developing function-mean trees. Finally, forthe student projects, AutoDesk Inventor was recommended to develop their models while Cura wasused to 3D print their design.

It May Be Engineering Design, but Is It Design? Richard Bannerot Department of Mechanical Engineering University of Houston AbstractCreative design is not taught in most engineering academic programs. The engineeringdesign textbooks (and presumably engineering design classes) do a good job presentinganalytical schemes for the systematic evaluation of design and linear design processes --both of which are necessary and appropriate for much of engineering design -- but theyreally have little to say about the creative, parallel processing necessary for design. It issuggested that engineering students

With this history in mind, weguide interdisciplinary groups of students consisting of electrical, mechanical, and softwareengineering majors through the engineering design process. The project objective is to research,design, build, calibrate, and test a balance or scale with a digital readout made from simplecomponents. Successful completion requires elements of each engineering discipline representedin the course. The course itself, Introduction to Engineering, is laid out in a manner thatincrementally

Appendix. It is pointed out that the main idea of the camp has been to show to the participating students that engineering is much more than just solving equations, crunching numbers and generating complex designs; it is also exciting, creative, and a lot of fun. The program is intended for the high school juniors who had little interest in engineering but who also have not made up their minds as to the future career yet. In other words it is intended to those students who under certain circumstances may consider engineering as a distant career possibility only. The program staff included the two authors, three teaching assistants (MSU students, two from the Aviation Department and one from the Department of

Interestingly, prior to her internship Kayla hadother career paths in mind. She thought she “wanted to work in academia” but her internshipsparked her interest within the industry route. Kayla enjoyed working in the company, which“steered [her] more into working as a regular engineer” than she had expected. Kayla was notworking in an area that she was particularly interested in, nonetheless this did not deter her fromengineering. Her personal identity as an engineer was solidified. This finding is consistent withother studies that have found that internships increase student motivation to

While thesmall class sizes offered by small schools are beneficial in many ways, limited representation ofwomen and gender non-conforming students can potentially increase feelings of isolation.Representation among the faculty has been shown to go a long way in supporting these studentsand increasing their sense of belonging [35]. This is especially important in small school settingswith few engineering professors available. Schools should be hiring with diversity in mind andintentionally trying to increase representation of genders and races among the faculty.

Larry also felt that engineers had equal responsibilities to other communitymembers: I think engineers do just as much as anybody else in the community. Everyone has a part. I think specifically, they are suited more so that they could help come up with more ideas or something. But again, everyone has as part, so it’s not like these people have more of a part. Everyone has about an equal amount. – LarryEven though Larry recognized that engineers could use their skills to help generate solutions to acommunity issue, Larry’s response suggests that engineers
