provides insight into questions,methods, and perceptions about factors influencing engineering education and HEED. Thesurvey questions are a combination of short answer and multiple choice that provide qualitativeand quantitative results. The survey participants are undergraduate and graduate engineeringstudents at a prominent research university. Although in engineering fields the genderproportions are largely disproportionately White and male, we include data that represents apopulation that includes more women than are statistically in engineering. Indeed, 40:110 arewomen and 37:110 are non-White. The data from men and women as well as a representation ofmany ethnicities will create a more descriptive landscape of engineering education. Because

graduates regarding skills andexperiences obtained from outside the classroom.We need more data to characterize student (and faculty) views on these issues, but we would liketo identify three opportunities for future research suggested by these findings. The first questionthat needs greater study is whether students feel greater pressure to multitask when they have theopportunity in the classroom. In other words, if they are listening to a lecture, do they feel theyshould really be trying to get some other work done at the same time? Do instructors perceivestudent multitasking in the classroom as a growing problem? If they do, are instructors changinghow they conduct class to counteract that behavior?A second research question worth pursuing

As such, ML/AI courses, majorsand careers are increasingly sought out by university graduates. While ML/AI falls within theboundaries of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM), there are elements of this newfield, industry and type of work which set it apart; Thus, a study dedicated to understanding thedynamics of student perceptions of ML/AI can help us better evaluate how the field may beencouraging or discouraging broad

, 2020Mapping Concepts Engineering Students in China Use to Think about EthicsAbstractTo better understand how engineering students think about ethics across cultures, and improveeducation in engineering ethics on this basis, a website was developed to host educationalcontents and conduct research. The site can facilitate large-scale, qualitative research usingmethods employed by the computational social sciences and digital humanities. To demonstrateits potential value, this paper describes a preliminary study using network analysis and semanticmaps to explore the responses of engineering students (N=70) in China to two course-relatedprompts: give an example of a behavior you consider unethical; explain what makes thisbehavior unethical. Preliminary
of research has examined students’ epistemologicalviews in engineering learning [10] – [14]. For example, Felder and Brent [10] have found thatstudent who demonstrate higher levels of epistemological development tend to display expertengineers’ thinking patterns. Liu and Zhu [11] found that project-based learning positivelyinfluence students’ contextual constructivist thinking. Frye, Montfort, and Brown [12] reportedthat as students’ epistemological views change, their ability to perform critical evaluation of thereasoning for engineering processes tend to progress as they advance in the academic program.Research ObjectivesThe purpose of this study is to examine the multidimensionality of engineering epistemologicalbeliefs among first year

Changes were made to Yoon’s [25] items based onliterature from Bandura [6], [11] and following the conventional wisdom for developing surveyscales from Krosnick and Presser’s [27]. Yoon’s [25] initial survey validation process sampled abroad population, i.e., undergraduate students, graduate students, working professionals, andstudents enrolled in online degree programs. Additionally, Yoon’s [25] recommendations forfuture research specifically encouraged scholars to “study a specific population” [p. 105].Therefore, it was essential to undergo the validation process of the personal agency scale sincevarious

We then describe two LUCEE projects through the lens of user-centereddesign—1) a series of research studies exploring what engineering students learn when buildingportfolios and 2) the design of a website to support engineering educators involving a study ofthe teaching challenges of engineering educators. In each description, we illustrate the linkbetween the projects and the user-centered design approach. We close

the positionto you.” The typical response is “Great! Now what?”Even at historically regional institutions, there has been a growing emphasis on fundedprojects and (often) graduate education. In other words: research, research, research.Developing your own identity in the engineering research community is akin to beingCEO of your own startup company. Instead of focusing on profits and losses you need towrite successful proposals, manage undergraduate and graduate research students, andpublish papers. You have (typically) six years to succeed to satisfy your “stockholders”(university administration). Oh, and you have to be an excellent teacher and do service,too.As such, this paper will discuss some of the aspects involved in developing a
