We don't talk about those things here’.” She wished they would “talk about it,normalize it, normalize getting help.” One student drew a distinction between internal and externalsituations and explained that internal struggles are not seen as legitimate in the same way asexternal struggles, and it relates back to the previous theme of trivializing mental health challenges: [Engineering] classes are more rigorous and have stricter deadlines, and, generally, are more competitive, and because of that, it doesn't always equate well to like if I let my professor know that I'm just having a really bad mental health
California. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 Stimulating Critical Thinking in Engineering StudentsIntroductionFostering critical thinking is a goal that is found in almost all university programs at all levels,from outcomes and objectives in individual courses to University learning objectives and missionstatements. However, helping students develop their critical thinking skills can be one of thegreatest challenges instructors face, in any discipline.In engineering instruction, this challenge presents itself clearly when students move beyond theirfundamental classes in math and science to their engineering design classes, where – perhaps forthe first time in their educational

many more students with an opportunity for leadership training.Leadership Honors ProgramThe Information and Systems Engineering Leadership Program (ISELP)1 was an honors programdeveloped for students in the Information and Systems Engineering degree program. Themotivation for the program came from alumni in leadership positions advocating that a formalleadership program would provide theory and practice in leadership and better prepare studentsfor leadership roles in their careers. ISELP was developed at the same time as the I&SE degreewith the intention of attracting highly qualified students to the university and providing themwith a broader education than the typical engineering student. ISELP began in 2002 and ispresently being phased

The use of the model allowed me to maintain consistency across the manyengagements with my research group members and create individual, group, and communitypractices.

A couple professors that have taught myclasses have attempted to bring in sustainability to some degree, but it is always brief. Theseclasses lack not only the discussion of sustainability, but the sustainable foundation thatengineering should be based on. In engineering classes, content should build off the basis ofsustainability, where sustainability is treated as fundamental as safety is when consideringdesigns. When talking about designing for the market, safety is always a

Specifically, this qualitative study addresses the followingresearch questions: What do engineering education graduate students perceive as disciplinaryexpectations around academic writing? How do these expectations inform their own writingpractices?With approval from the Institutional Review Board, I conducted semi-structured, hour-longinterviews with six graduate students in an engineering education department about their writingpractices and their perceived expectations of
