Is this a validassumption and does it apply to aerospace engineering students?Literature Review In engineering education, the number of studies exploring professional persistence islimited. Studies by Amelink and Creamer (2010), Eris et al. (2010), and Lichtenstein et al.(2009) indicate that a number of factors impact professional persistence. Between these differentstudies it was found that1,6,7: 1. respect from both peers and instructors was very important in keeping students satisfied with the engineering field and intending to work in the field for years in the future1. 2. the desire to pursue an engineering career increases throughout the education of the student in the case of persisters (those

This lecture approach is oftendiscussed and preferred by engineering professors as the most effective approach to cover vastamounts of content within the time period slotted for the class [3], [4]. An advantage of the use oflecturing is the opportunity to disseminate a great deal of information in a short period of time.However

Course outcomes aremeasured by student surveys and feedback comments and analysis is specifically tailored toaddress the following three questions: 1.

One of the few requirements imposed on thestudents was that they would commit themselves completely to this design and researchexperience. We employed a multi-faceted pedagogical approach that included three distinctelements. These elements were: (1) hands-on design-build-test-refine, (2) total culturalimmersion, and (3) allowing students the independence to define goals and manage their owntime.Hands-on experiences enhance learning and satisfaction for students.1-4 The need to teach designhas traditionally been addressed in capstone courses, but there has been a push to introducedesign earlier in engineering curricula

Thistechnique was inspired by the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) approach, and itwas implemented using the Kinect and an iRobot Create platform. The prototype implementationshows that this STAR technique is feasible and suitable to be used in educational roboticslaboratories. This technique also has multiple advantages compared to traditional educationallaboratories, such as lower cost, more straightforward setup and less required preparation work bythe laboratory instructor.1.

Onceproblem sets are implemented, it is easy to use them 1) between different sections of a course, 2)with different teachers, 3) for an indefinite period of time, 4) even with changes in textbooks.That is, once problem sets are created, it is not necessary to update the sets from one term or yearto the next or when a publishing company releases a new edition of a textbook. Instructors alsohave the flexibility to change textbooks entirely without the need to entirely recreate theircourse's homework sets. In this situation, usually only a reordering or regrouping of

Previous work on predictors of participation shows no significant differences bygender in the aggregate, but there are significant differences by ethnicity and major. One reasonstudents may not participate in co-op is the perception of increased time to graduation; however,other benefits may outweigh the perceived limitations. This research furthers the literature byexamining academic outcomes not previously considered, such as persistence in engineering andtime to graduation.

One approach to ethical issues is based on virtues, that is, totake as a reference the moral qualities engineers should have, such as honesty, compassion,respectfulness, etc. Each decision is judged against these qualities or virtues. The decision thatseems to be most in line with the relevant moral virtue(s) is considered to be the best decision,even if it means that certain rules are broken with negative consequences. These approaches canbe found in the ethical codes of professional engineering organizations such as the IEEE Code ofEthics.2 Another approach is based on consequences,3 which requires an
