capacity concerns, and these types of meritocracy-based programs are usedas a means of managing program growth and enrollment.Given the importance of matriculation to engineering degree completion, we examine if timingof matriculation into a degree granting program is related to engineering degree completion. Inthis working paper, we use data from a single institution that has a meritocracy-basedmatriculation program. Using hierarchical linear modeling, we consider a student’s probabilityof graduating within six-years to be a function of matriculating into a degree grantingengineering program in one of four possible entry points, while controlling for academicachievement in key math and science classes.Matriculation ProcessStudents at the study
lack of an ESE instrument for engineering studentsin an entrepreneurship education program specifically is critical and needs to be addressed.Therefore, in the present study, we adapted an existing ESE instrument for engineering studentsin an entrepreneurship education program at a large southeastern university in the United Statesand examined the psychometric properties of the instrument. In the field of engineering education, there has been an increasing number ofentrepreneurship education programs. Engineering educators have identified the link betweenentrepreneurship and engineering and realized the importance of entrepreneurial-related skills,such as creativity and leadership skills (Da Silva et al., 2015; Wang & Kleppe, 2001

Since our work focuses on a cohort that seeks to build relationships within thestudents’ 4-year undergraduate programs, social capital is the most appropriate as it focuses oncommunity building and relationships.In this work, we explore the utilization of social capital through two sub-constructs: instrumentalsocial capital and expressive social capital. Instrumental social capital assists individuals ingaining additional resources directly related to achieving a goal. An example of instrumentalactions that develop social capital could be exposure to engineering professionals at a companytour, a professional contact connecting a student to internship opportunities, or a professorexplaining course content during office hours [13

Engineering Education, 2023 Identifying curriculum factors that facilitate lifelong learning in alumni career trajectories: Stage 2 of a sequential mixed-methods studyAbstractThis research paper presents results from the second stage of a sequential mixed-methods studyexploring the impact of undergraduate curriculum on lifelong learning orientations in the contextof varying alumni career trajectories. Lifelong learning mindsets and skillsets are essential forgraduates of engineering programs as they grapple with an array of sociotechnical challenges andunpredictable career paths.Previously, we used interview findings, in combination with a literature review, to develop aconceptual framework and alumni survey that address several related
systems and biological processes andmodel these processes using computer code. Pre and post-data were collected using a surveyinstrument at the beginning and the end of the course. The survey instrument captured students'perceptions toward five self-beliefs related to their experience with programming, i.e., self-efficacy, self-concept, interest, anxiety, and aptitude mindset.The population considered for the final analysis consisted of 100 students that completed bothsurveys. According to institutional data, in 2021-2022, about 56% of the students pursuingbiomedical engineering majors were women, and about 44% of the students were men. Themajority of the students were White 67%, followed by Asian 21%, International 10%, more thantwo races 6

These results, especially when interpreted in the contextof our previous work, may have implications for further research into how the structure ofproject-based learning programs influence these correlations and related overall outcomes.Background and Perspectives from the LiteratureThis research extends the understanding of engineering stress culture (ESC) in undergraduateproject-based engineering and computer science programs.

students needto feel they have an advocate and someone who relates to their lived experiences. [11] Whenstudents see an engineer who reminds them of themselves, it boosts their own engineeringidentity. This is supported by Gage’s desire to study with people who he felt were “like him” andhis quick expression of desire to have had professors from Central Appalachia. Wayne, whenspeaking about the positive outcomes of his own career, mentioned peers from CentralAppalachia in college who became engineering professors. He indicated that he felt they hadgreat careers and he had desired to keep up with them all his life. All three participants referenced difficulty of content and heavy workload in theirengineering programs. These characteristics

To be included in the subsequent analysis, degree programs were required tomeet all of the following criteria: (1) contain “mechatronics” in the name, (2) culminate in acertificate/credential, or more formal degree (i.e., Bachelor’s degree), (3) offered through acollege, university, or accredited online education institution, and (4) consisted of multiplecourses (i.e., not just one mechatronics course offered within a degree in another field). Graduateprograms were excluded to ensure results would be comparable to the Phase 1 survey of industryprofessionals. This search identified 29 mechatronics-related
