[1], [2]. Onerecommendation made by researchers and policy-makers is to increase students’ sense ofengineering identity and engineering self-efficacy [2]. Conceptualizations of these constructsoften include some form of problem-solving [2]-[4]. Therefore, it is reasonable to surmiseproblem-solving self-efficacy (i.e., belief in one’s ability to solve problems) is a core componentof engineering identity and engineering self-efficacy, and that increasing it will increase them.However, before investigating methods to increase problem-solving self-efficacy, researchersmust operationally define it and adopt a reliable and valid measure of it, whether through scaledevelopment or adaptation of a pre-existing scale, the latter of which is the

IntroductionSince ABET 2000, ethics training has become an established component of science andengineering undergraduate education, serving to prepare students in the fundamentals ofprofessional practice within their chosen field. It is largely absent, however, in doctoralengineering programs1. This is of particular concern in the area of nanotechnology, which islargely being taught as a specialty in graduate programs. This paper describes a unique newcourse in the societal and ethical issues of nanotechnology that addresses this need.Students who undertake graduate engineering training can find that the conduct of research posesethical challenges that go beyond the norms of professional practice

inherently judgmental act.But what exactly are we judging when we speak of quality? The ‘what’ is highly contextual and forengineering often of a tacit “I know it when I see it nature”. Perhaps one of the best modern attempt todefine quality was made by Pirsig in the popular 1974 book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance[17], [18] which preceded the wide adoption of the CQM movement. Through the context of a cross-country motorcycle trip Pirsig contrasts quality and aesthetics and relates the notion of quality to a deepsubjective care for, or engagement with, something that leads on one to see beyond an objects surfacefeatures. Quality as a concept allows us to navigate both the objective and the the uncertain andsubjective spaces created by

He objected to interpretations whichmake extensive reference to presumed physiological correlates or to internal mentalevents, or which make extensive use of constructs to represent behavior. In contrast, herecommended that psychologists would be better advised to focus on collecting moreempirical data concerning behavior and at least temporarily to constrain their drawing ofinferences beyond the data collected.

Their primary substantive concern has been individual differences, whichusually refers to both the ability and habitual behavior or customary ways of acting,usually referred to as personality characteristics. Their preferred and sometimes exclusiveresearch methods are the correlational methods. Closely aligned with this group is thedevelopmental psychology tradition which has been particularly concerned with the waythat individuals differ at various ages and stages of development

ProjectIntroduction Engineering educators have an essential role in preparing engineers to work in a complex,interdisciplinary workforce. While much engineering education focuses on teaching students todevelop disciplinary expertise in specific engineering domains, there is a strong need to teachengineers about the knowledge that they develop or use in their work (Bucciarelli 1994, Allenby& Sarewitz, 2011; Frodeman, 2013). The purpose of this research is to gain a betterunderstanding of the knowledge systems of practicing engineers through observations of theirpractices such that the insights learned can guide future education efforts. Using an examplefrom a complex and interdisciplinary engineering project, this paper presents a case

forincreasingly large classes of CS students. In particular, schools are struggling to provide timelyaccess to help in office hours [4][5][6].Timely feedback is important for student learning [7][8], and universities are using a variety ofsolutions to combat long wait times. One solution of interest is to increase the number of teachersavailable to help students in office hours through the use of peer teachers. According to Smith et.al. [9], peer teachers are ”more senior students who are further advanced in the program of study”that can provide one-to-one instruction in an office hours setting. Because the number of studentscandidates for peer teachers increases as the course increases, peer teachers can scale as classescontinue to grow.Another solution
