Students might resent us for having them do more work and that is alrightbecause it will take time for them to develop the skill and it is hard to see its benefits right away.Along the way some encouragement helps keep students motivated. Collaboration betweeninstructors is also important for consistency and permanency of the skill, so it is favorable if thestudents are using similar layouts throughout their program. The author is planing to collect follow-up feedback form the same students before theygraduate. Starting this new academic year, the author is also using the Force Concept Inventory9to assess students’ learning more quantitatively.1. S. Bonham, R. Beichner, and D.

A sense of purpose is amotivating factor that describes an individual’s goal(s) for their actions [5] . Students may be 4attracted to organizations that convey values aligned with their personal and professional goals [6-9] . For some students the messages that engineering outreach programs convey, such as theapplication of engineering to solving the world’s problems [10], the need for diversity amongengineers [11] and the fact that engineering involves problem solving, [12] are congruent with theirown
differencesbetween transfer student experiences within the same institution, particularly between verticaland lateral transfer students. These results indicate that institutions cannot view all transferstudents as having the same experience or requiring the same support. Fostering a welcomingculture, helping students build networks, providing access to institutional agents, and ensuringeasily accessible information are all ways that institutions can begin to improve the transferexperience.AcknowledgementsThis material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No.1428502.

Engineers are hired to create value for their employer, and if a studentonly knows how to follow a syllabus, then they will not be prepared to anticipate unknownopportunities to create value. Learning core engineering skills is the single most important part ofan engineering education, and by teaching an entrepreneurial mindset through programs thatreinforce these skills, we are better preparing the innovators of tomorrow.ReferencesBarrett, T.

faculty members in the Department wanted to follow suit, and began their search for theright type of practitioners, to enrich the academic process by bringing the practice into the classroom. After Foundation Engineering was over, and the final course grade was out, a“questionnaire” was sent to those who enrolled in the class seeking their opinions, evaluations,and any comment(s) they may wish to offer. Twenty six out of a total of 30 students returned the“questionnaire” on time! The opinions expressed and comments made were, by and large,positive to say the least. After regrouping, and rephrasing to correct the English language; thecomments offered by the ex- students, could be summarized as follows: The adjunct was easy to approach

In brief, the Committee first calibrates itselfusing a randomly selected senior team by discussing any discrepancies in scores and theassessment process itself. Following the calibration exercise, the Committee Chair assignsreviewers to a random sampling of projects. At least two reviewers assess each project’sreport(s) and peer evaluations to the expectation of graduating seniors for all levels. In 2010, weestablished a rubric

Previous reviewsof clinical librarian services have discussed the challenge of identifying direct impacts,suggesting that forming casual links between information services and impacts on majoroutcomes such as improved patient care is “difficult if not impossible.”52 However, Brettle etal.’s systematic review of the effectiveness of clinical librarian services concludes that clinicallibrarians have created a satisfactory service model
