ReadinessAbstractColleges of Engineering have increasingly emphasized the importance of engineering studentsobtaining professional skills relating to global readiness. This paper describes progress in a cross-sectional, longitudinal study to examine the impact that a College of Engineering at a large, mid-Atlantic public institution has on students’ global readiness and related constructs. Data werecollected from first-year and senior undergraduate engineering students for two years (2012-2013and 2013-2014). Research questions examined: 1) previous international experiences of incomingstudents, 2) international experiences that undergraduates have during their academic careers, 3)students’ perceived value of global readiness, 4) activities students perceive to be

, such as ABET.This paper is organized so that Section 2 defines SoTE and explains the measurementframework. Section 3 presents the development of the Student Learning by Coursework ProgramCriterion. Section 4 is dedicated for analysis and evaluation. The fifth and final section concludesthe paper and outlines future work.The Measurement FrameworkIn terms of education, we define Sustainability as the ability to continuously improve withoutreducing the capacity to endure. In other words, the SoTE is Improvability and Endurance. TheSoTE is achieved at two levels, namely, the system and approach levels. At the system level, theeducational institution should be able to improve without reducing its ability to endure. Theinstitution should adopt an
these, and all, fields of study to be in productive dialogue, not only tohelp solve the world’s problems, but also to help answer life’s biggest questions. It may turn outthat these two objectives are very much related.In the mid-1990s, writer John Brockman asserted the ascendency and predominance of scienceby publishing provocative interviews with several big-name scientists in his book, The ThirdCulture: Beyond the Scientific Revolution. These scientists had been successful at popularizingtheir work by writing in a manner that captured the attention and imagination of the public.2 In asense, they represented a new integration of science and the humanities, since they were able toharness the power of compelling literature to promote scientific
improvement in outcomes for AfricanAmerican women in particular.The setting for this evidence-based practiceThe institution. Our public, mid-Atlantic institution enrolls approximately 16,000 undergraduatestudents and is classified as “highly selective” in undergraduate admission. The university offersa comprehensive set of academic majors for undergraduates, as well as a rich and variedselection of co- and extra-curricular activities. The undergraduate population is about 54%female, 6% African-American, 5.6% Hispanic, and 6% international students. Students aredrawn from all 50 states and over 100 countries. The four-year graduation rate from theinstitution is over 85%, while the six-year graduation rate is over 90%.The institution organizes its
approach, the instrument must be adapted to a round-robin formatwhich is discussed below.Data and MethodsSample and Data CollectionData for this study were drawn from a total of 435 mechanical engineering capstone designstudents at a large, mid-Atlantic engineering research institution (n=203) as well as a smallernortheastern military focused engineering college (n=22). These responses represent 56.7% and25.5% of the course enrollments, respectively. The data were collected in a combination of paperwith online follow-up and online only survey formats at the midpoint of their year-long teamingexperience. Questions stemmed from the MLQ Form 5X,12 adapted for round-robin data collectionwhere each team member rated each of their teammates and faculty
