engineering programs [4].Significance and impactChanges in the ABET accreditation criteria for engineering education also indicate a significantneed for educational reform. The new criteria include a need to demonstrate training andexperience in areas specific to design methodology. These skill requirements, such as teamwork,technical communication, economics and ergonomics of system or product design, civicengagement and ethics, reveal that the mere acquisition of technical knowledge is insufficient fora robust, modern engineering education [2].Goals and objectivesThere are several core goals involved in this paper, all centered on improving student experience,learning, and satisfaction in undergraduate education.

Recent findings makeclear that when provided with a relevant design problem and scaffolding, even young studentscan design solutions and learn as they do so.Significance and implicationsWhile we found increasingly rigorous approaches to research methods, there are stillopportunities for growth tied to qualitative methods in particular. However, we found a numberof persistent methodological issues that have continued since our initial review. To address these,we suggest the following; journals and conferences should: • encourage more rigorous studies by providing clearer guidelines about qualitative and quantitative methods; • encourage more ethical human subjects research by

-Sacre, & McGourty, 2005). According to ABET’s EC2000 standards, the new generation ofengineers is expected to possess deep technical knowledge in their field of study as well asprofessional skills, such as communicating effectively, working in teams, solving unstructuredproblems, and an awareness of ethical and contextual considerations in engineering (Lattuca,Terenzini, & Volkwein, 2006). The NAE believes engineers need to be flexible, resilient,creative, empathetic, and have the ability to recognize and seize opportunities (NAE, 2002;Sheppard, Pellegrino, & Olds, 2008) How can entrepreneurship education lead to these learning outcomes?

Lackey et al.21 found that journal score of a course predicted the first year GPA. Thecorrelation was stronger for men than women students, whose better predictor was high schoolGPA. The journal score represents student engagement, attitude, initiative, time managementskills, study habits, and willingness to persevere. Since women students, in general, do better onthose attributes, the authors believed that the journal score did not influence their GPA as muchas men students.Insight 3: There may not be any gender difference in creativity skills

The gratitude construct is a six-item single factor subscale adopted from theCollege Student Subjective Wellbeing Questionnaire (CSSWQ) [39].

their ability to concretelyevaluate student growth ​[12], [13], [33]​. Direct assessments are complicated by three considerations: validity, reliability, andethical limitations on truly scientific study design. Validity asks: does the assessment measurewhat it is supposed to measure? Reliability asks: can writing be consistently and quantitativelyevaluated by different evaluators? Finally, ethics forbid writing centers from executing theclassic “treatment/no treatment” experimental design: true negative controls would requiredenial of writing center access to students who want it. Due to these three constraints, “thetypical evaluation of writing programs...usually fails to obtain statistically significant results” ​[34]​.For this reason

dichotomy of relevant versus irrelevant, or fair versus unfair, frames the feelings of manyengineers when it comes to their treatment of ethics. Unlike many aspects of engineering ethicslooks mostly in hindsight, not at all with innovation. It is usually seen as a reaction to a crisis.This hindsight is framed by topics that were seen as unimportant, the first pillar of Cech’s theoryof disengagement [17]. The final pillar is prevalent in many undergraduate and graduateengineering departments to an extreme measure. Numerous studies have pointed to the need toweed out the weak students from undergraduate programs. This builds on the very foundations ofengineering education as a vocational degree for the brightest students. This overarching concernwith
