. Our analysis of these failures showed two majorproblems. First, students do not have experience with how things are made. So, they areunable to produce the detailed designs required by a waterfall planning scheme. Second,they are afraid to start building subsystems, so they delay building until the last moment.This leaves student teams without time to fix failures, revise their plans, and integrate com-ponents. So, we chose to utilize an agile project management technique used extensively inthe software industry. We implemented a variant of scrum project planning, which is basedon starting with a top-level design, start to build subsystems for that design, and modifyyour design as you learn. It is a structured and supervised try–fail–fix

The country has an estimated annualGDP per capita of USD 5293. However, it is worth noting that from 1980-1990 Namibia had aGDP per capita which was higher than that of both China and Thailand. But, over the interveningtime both countries’ rate of economic growth have greatly exceeded Namibia’s and, as a result,Namibia’s GDP per capita ratio is currently much smaller than either of those two countries(National Planning Commission, 2012).Despite this disparity in economic growth rates, the country is slowly emerging from thecompounding

Engineering self-efficacy (e.g., succeed in engineering curriculum; excel in engineering major) was assessedusing items from a published instrument on engineering self-efficacy, and the scaledemonstrated internal consistency. Overall, students who reported more frequentinteractions with faculty (more than once), and lower perceived negative attitudes fromfaculty indicated higher levels of engineering self-efficacy.

Studentswere challenged to wrestle with what it means for something to be pro-social.

We are specifically investigatinghow their experiences in community college influence their plans for future education andcareers. While the diversity of 4-year universities has remained stagnant, the diversity ofcommunity college student populations is actually increasing. Therefore, community collegesrepresent a potential source of talent for future engineers from diverse backgrounds. We arecurrently in the first year of data collection where we have piloted the study at one of the datacollection sites.
