"[11] J. S. Russell, "Mentoring in Engineering" [8] The SE3 report goes beyond the topics of diversity and inclusion to address key issuesrelating to job satisfaction for all structural engineers. Indeed, work done to understand whywomen and minorities leave the profession will help bolster a declining talent pool, but it mayalso help to understand job satisfaction across the board. Results could be expected to be similaramong other engineering disciplines, but this has yet to be explored. This is one area of studythat could be expanded. Other areas that merit focused is best practices for addressing work-lifebalance, managerial communication strategies, and tactics used to prompt an employee’semotional investment into a company

Thisproject constitutes the second program element--a practical application of CRP in course(s)relevant to the faculty member.The coaching teams meet with faculty throughout the following semester to support faculty intheir projects by sharing progress and providing accountability. When faculty complete theirprojects, they present the results, including

theirprofession is also reviewed.History of SMET, STEM & STEAMIn 2001, the acronym formally known as SMET turned into STEM (Science, Engineering,Technology, and Mathematics)[2]. However, this grouping has been recognized in educationalreports since the 1980’s [2]. STEM had been developed by the National Science Foundation(NSF) to group together these disciplines based on the common use of critical thinking andproblem-solving skills [2, 3]. The disciplines that make up STEM are distinct but linked, withthose in engineering also studying physics, chemistry and other sciences and math being studiedin all disciplines [4]. Noticeably absent from this group is the arts, which is not recognized to bepart of STEM.In order to compare ET students to their

re-writing their goals using the technique. Some of these pre andpost goals were written on the board and as a class, the instructors, peer mentors, and studentsgot to discuss whether they thought the post-goals were better and why. This was effective athelping students to better define and enhance their own individual goals in practical ways, and inconsideration of academic excellence, and the upcoming year(s) in general, as appropriate. Thetentative assignment was to use the “S.M.A.R.T.” technique to form goal(s) for the semester andyear. Further, students were to continue to update their BP notebooks and complete select G4.0activities.Weeks 4 -5 By week 4, upon conferring with the instructors and Peer Mentors, it was decided

Historically, case studies have been as educational tools inbusiness, law and medicine but not so much in software engineering. The hypothesis is that casestudies would be effective educational tools to introduce real-world professional practices intothe classroom which would help the students in identifying and solving problems, and develop aperspective on knowledge application. In this paper we describe a set of V&V related case-studies that we have drawn from industry experiences and developed them as pedagogical tools.These case-studies cover several important topics in S/W V&V domain such as software

For each category considered, the datawas first tested for normality. For normally distributed data sets, a paired t-test was used. For thedata that was not normal, the Wilcoxon R-S test was used to test for significance. A p-value lessthan 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Figure 2a: First part of survey
