At the beginning of the first day of class, students were given a three-question,open-ended questionnaire that asked: “In your own words, what do engineers do?”, “Why didyou choose engineering?”, and “Was there any particular person or experience that influencedyour decision?” Two investigators independently coded the responses, identifying dozens ofcodes for both motivations for pursuing engineering and understanding of what it is. Fivehypotheses derived from Dweck’s mindset theory7 and others8,9 were tested to determine ifparticular codes were predictive of first-semester GPA or first-year retention in engineering.Codes that were positively and significantly associated with first-semester GPA included:explaining why engineers do

One of the goals for the FoodSlowers team is to place doggie bags at different points around their campus to make sure that students don’t waste food. The team’s intention is to eliminate food waste. The team also plans to have left over food in the cafeteria sent to animal shelters to feed homeless animals. In addition, the team is holding several cooking classes on campus with a dietitian who will teach the community how to eat consciously. The team is having a farmers market on campus and selling items like jam to provide funding for the doggie bags. In addition, the team

, review from 875 students at 10 different institutionsassessed whether student participation in leadership education and training programs impactedtheir educational and personal development (Cress et al., 2001). This study specifically focusedon the knowledge and skills of students and if there were any relationships between leadershipdevelopment and typical class progression (Cress et al., 2001). The study included pre- and post-survey assessments to evaluate student progress. Multivariate analysis and a hierarchicalregression analysis model were used to control for any confounding variables. Results from thestudy indicated that growth was seen in three main areas: skills (decision making abilities),values (sense of personal ethics), and

/build spine in which there would be a semester long design course in each of the freshmen, sophomore, and junior years, and a two semester year long senior capstone design course. In this design/build sequence, important elements of professional practice such as problem solving, design, teamwork, and communication would be introduced, and then reinforced in subsequent courses in the spine. Professional skills such as problem solving, teamwork, leadership, entrepreneurship, innovation, and project management would be central features of the design spine. The ‘problem solving’ skills area also incorporates problem formulation and judgment. Rather than propose a course in ‘leadership’, or a
experience.Another area in which service learning needs some improvement is in the assessment ofstudents’ formative progress. It is presented in the final section.Theoretical ActivitiesThe second group of educative activities that can develop some of the four educator engineer’scomplementary skills consists of two main kinds of initiatives: participatory, reflexive andcritical technical classes; and STS disciplines. Both types are usually in-classroom activities andcan be developed by teachers who are not committed to any sort of engaged or grassrootsengineering.Critical and participatory technical classes are meant to both widen students’ social-technicalunderstanding and worldview and to encourage them to leave – or not to accept occupying – apassive role

Design ProcessIn the same spirit that systems engineering concepts are used for designing,implementing, and operating complex systems, the same approach is used here for thedesign and reform of the Department’s curriculum. This approach leverages the fact thatfaculty members are engineers who are best at systematically solving design problems ina team-based environment. The team members comprised of five faculty members whoteach design courses and the Department Chair. Two of the five faculty members arepart-time lecturers with significant industry experience. Involving all relevant facultymembers with the leadership of the Chair ensured that there was buy-in from the facultymembers and allowed them to take ownership of the classes. The team met
