-making inprofessional engineering contexts.IntroductionEthical reasoning is a critical competency for engineers, as their decisions often carry profoundsocietal, environmental, and safety implications. Traditional assessments of ethical reasoning,such as the Defining Issues Test (DIT) [1] and the Engineering Ethical Reasoning Instrument(EERI) [2], are modeled on Kohlberg’s justice-based moral development framework [3]. Whilethese assessments provide quantitative measures of ethical judgment, they often fail to capturethe complexity and context-dependence of ethical decision-making in real-world engineeringpractice.A key limitation of these static, principle-based assessments is that they emphasize abstractreasoning over situated, in-the-moment

In 2013, a cultural forum was introduced to allow students to askquestions to international faculty members and to students who participated in global programsabout his or her experiences abroad. The safety training conducted is the same training that manyof the university employees receive—it focuses on basic first aid, fire safety, bomb threattraining, and shooter awareness training. Experiential learning through program activities such as the bridge camp, freshmencourses, K-12 outreach, and transfer days became a critical part of the program to develop thenext generation of engineering leaders.

Proficiency in multiple languages is positively associated withdoctoral students’ intercultural competency.Several additional papers assessing the current status of graduate students [3], [4] recommendhaving work/volunteer-related international experience due to the positive correlation ofinternational experiences to the development of intercultural/global competencies in their

In the United States, international students are especially concentrated in fieldslike mathematics, computer science, engineering, and business, which, alongside health sciences,accounted for 47% of all known graduate applications in 2022 [3]. According to the 2021 reportby the National Foundation for American Policy [4], international students account for 82% ofgraduate students in petroleum engineering, 74% in electrical engineering, 71% in industrial andmanufacturing engineering, 61% in civil engineering, 58% in mechanical engineering, 54% inchemical engineering, and 53% in metallurgical/materials engineering.

In Winter 2017, the students in these key upper-division courses were split among thosewho have taken the redesigned ME100L and those who have taken the older version; within thenext couple years, almost all of the students who took the older version will have left theprogram. Surveys were administered across seven courses to assess whether or not the studentshave retained, appreciated, and/or applied the content from the updated ME 100L.2 Summary of course redesignA detailed account of the redesign has been previously documented1. Briefly, ME 100L is anintroductory freshman course that serves over 400 students per year. It is a 1-unit courseconsisting of a 3-hour lab held once per week.

potentialimpact of the learning-centered pedagogies on students’ developing interests, life-long learningskills, and retention in engineering.Engineering students need more practical, first-hand experiences in their undergraduate years.Interning in industry is one way to give this first-hand experience to the students. However forthe engineering students to intern, they often need to be upper division students in their programof studies. The timing of the professional experience students receive as they intern iscounterproductive to the efforts to retain engineering students in their early college years.

This trend was more noticeable among first year students,suggesting that verbal protocol helped them attend more closely to core engineering designelements and detailed problem scoping. However, for final year students, the difference betweenthink-aloud and non-think aloud groups was less pronounced, possibly indicating that they already possess more internalized strategies for design reasoning, regardless of the mode of task engagement.Fig. 2.

determine whetherthe impact of these factors on success (i.e., whether students graduate with an engineeringdegree) were independent of gender and race identity.The following hypotheses were posed: 1. High school preparation, the number of AP classes and exams in mathematics and science will be positively related to success in engineering programs. 2. Initial commitment to engineering will be positively related to success in engineering programs. 3. Confidence in one’s abilities will be positively related to success in engineering programs. 4. Internal motivators, such as interest in engineering activities, will be positively related to success in engineering programs. 5. A higher perceived social value of

Each factor exhibited covariance with the others, with varying strengths.The strongest covariance was between engineering identity and academic engineering confidence(0.855), followed by comfort with professor and academic engineering confidence (0.570).

However, existing research has indicated that thebenefits of participating in team-based, project-based learning experiences are not always sharedby all students, and sociodemographic characteristics, such as race/ethnicity, sex/gender,socioeconomic status, and international student status, can inform the socioacademic dynamicsby which students come to participate (in)equitably in engineering teamwork.The
