There are several project learning outcomes that stem from projecteducational goals that are reinforced/implemented through project activities. The project learningoutcomes include 1) development of teamwork skills, 2) increased appreciation for current andfuture coursework in physics and chemistry, 3) an early understanding of the role of experimentaland analytical approaches to engineering problem solving, 4) development of writtencommunication skills through writing technical team reports, 5) development of MS Excelprogramming skills directly applicable to a real

[3], researchers found the ten-year completion rate for engineeringPh.D.’s is only around 62%. Studies have indicated many factors within engineering graduateschool culture that lead to attrition from graduate school, especially relating to students’expectations, goals, and quality of work and life [4]-[6]. Specifically, Zerbe et al. [6] identifiedthat mismatched expectations and preconceptions for graduate school directly led students toquestion or depart from their programs. Recognizing the challenges related to pursuing anengineering graduate degree, undergraduate students motivated to pursue graduate degrees wouldgreatly benefit from additional preparation for the culture and expectations for graduate students.

the same set of questions were asked. In addition, in 2017, students had answeredquestions about intrinsic motivation, perceived autonomy, and competence. Motivation wasmeasured with a selection of items from the ‘Self-regulation questionnaire – Academics’ [15].It measured three types of motivation (intrinsic, internalized regulation and amotivation)reduced to two Likert-type items per scale.

The 1970s were a tumultuous decade for American economic policy. Events like the oilcrises in 1973 and 1979, the U.S. withdrawal from the Bretton Woods monetary agreement, andstagflation - the combination of low economic growth, high unemployment, and high inflationrates - began to cast doubt upon the incumbent Keynesian economic policy paradigm [1, p. 372],[2, p. 20], [3]. Beginning in this decade, both domestic and international economic policy beganto shift away from accepting a role for the government in shaping economic policy and toward aminimized role focused on ensuring proper market functioning and little else. This retraction ofgovernment regulation and intervention came under the name of neoliberalism. Neoliberalism isbroadly

people skills,management skills, and technical skills can help future cybersecurity professionals [6]. For 1developing a pedagogical curriculum of such a demand, the initial step is having a betterunderstanding of pedagogical aspects of social interactions of students in courses.Social factors that impact cybersecurity students’ understanding of major-specific concepts areimportant to understand. There is limited pedagogical research of cybersecurity students’ learningbased on the influence of social factors from a conceptual-learning perspective. The researchliterature concentrates on cybersecurity students’ awareness of cybersecurity events [1

Engineering education researchers task themselves with being innovatorsin the production of knowledge. This knowledge is intended to improve and serve currentpractices and other ways of thinking, knowing, and doing in engineering. However, what can besaid of the internal conversation that researchers experience in relation to their work? And doesthis conversation occur as part of reflexivity in research?

Student MotivationWhen observing the success/shortfalls of a student, many components are attributed to the reasonbehind their success/shortcomings. One aspect of students often overlooked is their internalmotivation factors. These internal motivations are heavily influenced by many factors in astudent’s life. As displayed by Kirn, one

For example, the first Ambassador of the UnitedStates was inventor-scientist Benjamin Franklin, and the first Secretary of State wasfarmer-scientist Thomas Jefferson. More recently, in 1961, Article 3 of the ViennaConvention on Diplomatic Relations was written to highlight that, “the functions of adiplomatic mission consist, inter alia, in

Education, 2013 Work In Progress: Quick-Return Mechanism RevisitedAbstractIn this paper, the teaching and learning experiences of the author with two summer interns at oneof the educational institutions in India is presented. These are the senior mechanical engineeringstudents from two different engineering colleges in India who spent nearly two months at theinstitute where the author spent a 3-month sabbatical as a visiting faculty. Although these twostudents took the “Theory of Machines” course at their college, a complete understanding ofkinematic and dynamic analyses of mechanisms such as a quick-return linkage seemed to be notrealized well by them. In addition to the students from India, there are other mechanicalengineering

We analyze instructional strategies, student outcomes, and thepedagogical trade-offs involved in transitioning from in-person to asynchronous delivery. Whilethe Digital Logic course demonstrated strong engagement and learning outcomes, the Introductionto Circuits and Electronics course revealed significant barriers tied to motivation, interaction, andcontent complexity. In addition, we examine fully online master’s degree programs delivered onthe Coursera platform, which use flexible enrollment models and performance-based

had lower scores for perceived norms, meaning they wereless likely to believe that seeking help was supported by those who are important to them.Additionally, less than half of the students indicated they would intend to seek help if theyexperienced mental health distress. Students’ perception that others would expect them to seekhelp (i.e., their perceived norm injunctive) was the strongest predictor of intention to seek help,followed by their attitude toward seeking help. The specific outcome beliefs that were negativelycorrelated with intention to seek help were that seeking help would: 1) go against the expectationsof the engineering community, 2) be a sign of weakness or an admission of defeat, and 3) result inpoor treatment or

in contemporary softwareengineering principles, the experimental version of the course incorporated the followingvariations:1. The laboratory project now involves open-source mobile application development;2. The hybrid design methodology (waterfall and XP) is further explored by incorporating two or more development cycles into the project, while additional classroom activities further understanding of connections between the development process and application needs;3. Five active-learning sessions are included to enable reflection on past co-operative education or internship experiences and relate them to classroom learning. The objective of this novel pedagogical strategy, which we call UnLecture, is to bridge the gap between
