The relationships between gender and both engineering identity andpersistence were completely mediated by peer relations, but were not significantly mediated byfaculty support. Unlike gender, race had a significant independent effect on both engineeringidentity and persistence that was not mediated by other predictors. This suggests that otherfactors not captured by this set of predictors influenced their identification with the disciplineand their persistence.To better understand aspects of the program climate that influenced persistence and disciplinaryidentification, we conducted a qualitative analysis of responses to two open-ended items whichasked students to state identify the “best” part of

IntroductionRobotics is becoming one of the most attractive majors in the Colleges of Technology because ofthe advantages in respect of applications, jobs, and prospects. Therefore, more and more Collegesof Technology have or are planning to create robotics program. Usually, as an interdisciplinaryfield, the robotics programs are provided by either Computer Engineering Technology or MET.However, students of Engineering Technology, especially MET, are facing two dilemmas whenproviding robotics courses:(1) Technology programs mainly focus on hands-on skills and there are fewer fundamentalrobotics-related courses in the MET curriculum than in electrical engineering

onlineeducation offers a variety of resources and focuses primarily on teaching the fundamentaltheories and concepts, one disadvantage is the lack of hands-on experience and direct interaction[1]. Particularly in engineering education, where abstract engineering concepts ideally can bebetter understood by doing the related hands-on activities such as laboratory experiments. Tosolve the issue of the practical training shortage and the lack of hands-on experience with onlineeducation, VR takes the learning experience to a next level in terms of interaction andengagement. VR refers to an artificial world that replicates the real world environment generatedby computers, and that simulates the physical presence of a user in the virtual environment [2].With the

In addition, we examined how theseconstructs measured during the first semester may relate to engineering major choice at the end of the year. Weexamined the constructs of domain identification, utility, belonging, and expectancy. These constructs relate to valuesand beliefs held by the student without reference to a particular course and are useful in
