For example, as a pluralist theory of ethicalreasoning, MFT helps to explain how different, competing goods can conflict, resulting in thekinds of conflicts of interests that are central to engineering ethics and other forms ofprofessional ethics [1]–[3].Planned analyses and hypothesesIn this study, MFQ and ESIT scores were treated as outcome variables, and education anddemographic information – such as gender, age, and field of study – were treated as inputvariables.

mentorship programs.IntroductionWithin graduate education, there is a lack of proper mentorship and mentoring programs atinstitutional and college levels [1]. Mentorship is so highly correlated to student success andprogram satisfaction [2], as such, there is a critical need to establish and improve mentorshipprograms at these institutions. The National Academy of Sciences suggests that with improvedmentoring, “students' educational experience, morale, career planning and placement, andprofessional competence” [3, p. 65] will be enhanced. However, for this mentoring relationshipto flourish and be satisfactory, it requires effort by both parties which would ultimately create a‘mutually beneficial’ partnership between the faculty mentor and the

The SMART goal and plan should be completed by the end ofOctober. Project PIs now meet with mentors to discuss the goals for their mentees to make sure itis reasonable. In addition, we survey mentors monthly to document their activities and meet withmentors once a month to gather feedback, identify potential problems, and share successfulstories or tips. Based on the monthly report from peer mentors during the 2020-2021 academicyear, we have observed positive changes between mentors and mentees.4.2 Research ExperienceUndergraduate research is one of the thirteen

110) instead of the Calculus, at least one semester delay in thegraduation can occur. Additionally, if a student fails one or more of these pre-requisite chains,the student’s graduation will be delayed by at least one more semester. Another factor thataggravates this situation is that most of the higher division courses are only offered once a yearat CSU Chico and are not offered during the summer or at other universities across the nation.Therefore, the importance of passing the math courses at the scheduled semester is evident of thestudy plan to reduce the time-to-graduation.About 19.1% of the incoming freshman and transfer students in the College of Engineering andComputer Science did not enroll in Calculus as their first math course in

These existing gaps in ability toeffectively plan a project and manage available time were exacerbated by the move to individualwork, leaving students with less ability in this area feeling anxious and overwhelmed. In thissection, we identify several challenges that arose in relation to time management, including atension between viewing project work as concurrent v. linear, the feeling that more time wouldresult in positive outcomes, and the introduction of classroom-driven and personally-driven toolsto manage time more

In an earlier investigation into what could becausing this drop, the authors identified that students who regretted how they spent their breakperformed worse than their peers who showed no regret, and that inexperienced, strugglingstudents had the highest odds of showing regret [11].Thus, the following year, to mitigate the perceived harmful effects of the fall reading break onthese students, the authors planned an academic and social intervention during the two-day studybreak in fall 2018.

Inhigher education, the impact of educational technologies and their potential to enhance theteaching and learning experiences as well as improve learning outcomes is yet to be felt in anytangible way. This is mainly attributed to the lack of motivation by faculty to utilize newtechnologies in their classrooms.

In addition, a graduatestudent in human-centered design was present in each of the classes as well as in planningsessions with the instructors to observe and offer additional support. As the course also aimed toget students to engage in cross-disciplinary discussions, it was critical to offer a variety ofperspectives and areas of expertise. As such, the instructors created a list of guest speakers toperiodically visit class. These guests included representation from industry (strategy planning,user experience, design, marketing) as well as other departments (industrial design, business,library science).To help move through the design process
