22.738.3effort to investigate conceptions of engineering from a Swedish perspective.14, 15ParticipantsOur recruitment strategy was developed to get a wide range and breadth of perspectives onengineering. We recruited participants for this study from four major groups: 1) throughundergraduate research opportunities offered on campus in the summer; 2) through amultidisciplinary service-learning engineering design opportunity; 3) through an engineeringstudy abroad program; 4) through a college of technology. Once people had expressed theirinterests in participating, we asked them to complete a background survey about theirengineering experience, as well as demographic and academic information.Over the course of the project, we interviewed 19 people

mentorsare now competitors in an increasingly tough job market. On top of all this, newengineers face competition from offshore design centers and foreign engineersimmigrating to the U.S.If junior engineers want to compete in this fast-paced, competitive job market, they haveto be productive on their very first day. To be productive, they have to be able to createcomplex, solid code quickly. Experienced engineers accomplish this using their personalcollection of tips, tricks, and shortcuts that they have picked up over the course of theircareer. New engineers do not have this luxury. What they need instead is a designmethodology that will take the place of the tips, tricks and shortcuts. Thus presents thebasic point of this paper—to teach a design

The students looked at water characteristics as well. • Air Quality/Drones: The students learned about air quality and then measured the air quality using two different methods. The first method was using a sensor with a LED light that changes color based on the amount of pollution in the air. The second method was flying a drone that had multiple sensors to measure the air quality. • Flying Aggies: Students learned that farmers can use drones that take pictures to improve their fields.The fourth day: The students picked one of the

to analyzethe downstream effects of technologies on unknown or silent users (Casper & Clarke 1998).These efforts can also be understood as a way of organizing others’ work (Suchman 2000),particularly when the users come from inside one’s own organization.In this paper we describe and analyze how early career engineers learn about users and theirneeds in the engineering workplace. We draw special attention to how users are conceptualizedduring product development and how notions of how users might employ technologies can shapedesigners’ plans. These data are part of a larger project that examines the workplace learning ofearly career engineers, and so several of our examples highlight the orientations early careerengineers hold toward

Others,like Chaaya and Catia, had individuals and groups that guided them towards their choices. In hersecond year of high school, while taking chemistry, Chaaya noted that, “I was struggling a lot,but my teacher was very patient and helped me through it… then junior year, I improved a lotand then I realized how interesting a subject can be when you actually understand it.” Supportedin her time of need, her interest was reignited. Catia, on the other hand, found inspiration inconnection with a group of college students at a local university. With a newly forming interestin biochemistry

Study of Experiences of Women Engineering Students and the Role of Campus LibrariesAbstract Despite decades-long efforts to increase intersectional diversity in STEM fields,engineering lags behind other STEM disciplines in representation of women. In the UnitedStates, women comprise 27.5% of the undergraduate engineering enrollment and 29.1% ofgraduate engineering enrollment. Increasing recruitment, retention, and improving post-graduateoutcomes is an area of deep interest to universities. University libraries are essential for studentsuccess, contributing to both academic achievement and feelings of belonging on campus – keyfactors in retention and post-graduate outcomes.
