Students then spent the rest of the day carrying out the project. Since eachteam comprised three students with a wide range of technical maturity and skills, they largelyworked on different aspects of the project independently after a plan was agreed uponcollaboratively. For example, while one student spent an afternoon modifying specimen designfor 3D-printing and another completing the previous tests, the third student could be conductingfinite element

Through the process of preparing for the events, the students gain technical aswell as troubleshooting, teamwork, project management, and communication skills. Theprogram is a comprehensive “package” of learning that has the added benefit of exposingstudents to ocean-related career opportunities and showing them the pathways to those careers –a critical step to meeting ocean STEM workforce needs.BackgroundA number of prior reports have identified significant problems in educating, recruiting, andretaining U.S. workers for scientific, technological, and operational careers.1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Thelack of appropriately

One was the U.S.-based Academic Pathways Studyconducted in the 2000s by the Center for Advancement of Engineering Education of theUniversity of Washington. The project investigated the experiences of engineeringundergraduates and early-career engineers, with a focus on four aspects of becoming anengineer—skills, identity, education, and workplace [3]. The other was the report“Understanding Educational and Career Pathways of Engineers” produced by U.S. NationalAcademy of Engineering in 2018 [4]. The report provides an informative

Since the 2018 launch of the Nexus Center for Applied Learningand Career Development, 56 of their applied learning co-curricular experiences have beenapproved [2].

One should teach us how to make a living and the
educational programs (National Academy ofEngineering, 20044; U.S. Department of Education, 20065); interdisciplinarity in both researchand education is presumed to promote global competitiveness, national security, and economicprosperity (National Science Board, 20106; U.S. Department of Education, 20065).As early as 1982, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development argued that theneed to solve interdisciplinary societal problems had taken priority over internally drivenapproaches that focused on advancing knowledge without clear concern for its societalimplications. By 1986, the National Research Council reported that most of the growth inknowledge production was interdisciplinary in nature in emerging scientific and technical

The conclusions on the LH2 supersonic transport are very encouraging. The large rise in engine thrust-to-weight ratio and the decrease in thrust-specific fuel consumption, since the 1960s until the present (for instance the F-35’s engines) are obvious reasons why aircraft designs will close better today. As the cost of hydrocarbon fuel rises and the cost of hydrogen production comes down, LH2 becomes an ever more attractive option.3. With the continuing demands of this

The collegiate students also ranged in academic preparation with onefreshman, three sophomores and two juniors. The collegiate students identified as 4 males and 3females. The high school interns were matched based on their responses to a questionnaireadministrated by MSGC which ranks learning interests across multiple disciplines includingcomputer science, engineering, biology, etc, on a 0-3 scale. Students were also able to rate theirperceived strengths and weaknesses across multiple skills sets including computer aided design,programming, communication, etc. All
academic performanceis one of the key contributors to undergraduate students’ intention to apply (or not) for graduatedegrees. As stated in the ‘data and methodology’ section, we used sessional percentage averagepoints as an indicator of undergraduate students’ academic performance. According to theregression results, the grade-based academic performance of those undergraduate students whodid not apply for graduate degrees in the engineering faculty has been significantly lower thanthat of those who applied, regardless of gender. This shows that lower grades could deterundergraduate students from applying for graduate degrees. Our findings did not show anysignificant difference in international and domestic applicants’ academic

Holding a certification means both that an individual can pass an assessment (usually atest) and that they cared enough to attempt it. Professional assessment is so commonly used thatthe Association of Test Publishers (ATP) and Institute for Credentialing Excellence (ICE) holdmultiple, international conferences and meetings annually to bring together certification programmanagers from the fields of accounting, dentistry, personal training, and water treatment
