Program for Post Graduate Studies in EngineeringAbstract - This paper describes a 5-year project in which we defined a gap in development ofprofessional skills in postgraduate engineering education, identified effective methods fordeveloping students’ professional skills, implemented a series of two required courses to developthem, and evaluated the effectiveness of the program. The courses content, assessments, teachingmethodologies, and outcomes are discussed in this paper. Our 5 years of program evaluation aresummarized. We describe how our program has been extended to multiple departments in thefaculty of engineering and evolved from the model of individual to joint classes and team-teaching. Finally, we discuss effectiveness of those modes

Pilot survey data were collected from participants enrolledin second semester, first-year engineering programs across three institutions (n = 371).

In this work, the fields of study used to define an under-represented minority include Science,Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). Under-represented minorities do not necessarily havesimilar characteristics such as culture (family, ethnic, social), motivations, perspectives etc. For example,a Hispanic student who grows up in the inner city, is on free or reduced lunch, and lives in a governmentsubsidized home often has little in common with a Hispanic student who is raised in a financially stablehousehold in the suburbs.

However, the findings of this study are expected to advance the state ofknowledge and understanding of (a) diverse pathways to and through engineering, and(b) the development of engineering-specific theories of how engineers are formed.A pilot study conducted in 2014-2015 showed that RATS and CFU scores on activitiesrelated to algorithmic thinking (AT) were significantly correlated with moderate to largeeffect sizes, ranged from 0.31 to 0.7315. This implies that students who already had beenexposed to algorithmic thinking seemed to perform better

A summary of the fatigue and related fracturemechanics content included in some popular Mechanics of Materials and Aerospace Structurestextbooks is included in Table A1 in Appendix A. It can be seen in Table A1 that the coverageof fatigue is cursory in typical Mechanics of Materials texts. Most aerospace structures textsinclude some coverage of fatigue topics, but still at an elementary level.A detailed, quantitative analysis of fatigue, requiring significant experience in techniques ofelasticity and study of the subject of fracture mechanics, is beyond the scope of undergraduatestudents and rightly finds a place among graduate studies in Aerospace Engineering.
