researchers approached29 active construction project job sites including residential, commercial, and infrastructureprojects. The projects were mainly located in the South-East region of the US. Overall, 53 workersand 79 managers participated in the study. Managerial roles included ‘construction projectmanager,’ ‘assistant project manager,’ ‘design manager,’ ‘project engineer,’ ‘owner,’ ‘vicepresident,’ ‘supervisor,’ ‘superintendent,’ ‘site safety and health officer (SSHO),’ and ‘projectsafety coordinator.’ On the other hand, the workers’ specialty included ‘carpentry,’ ‘concrete,’‘demolition,’ ‘electrical,’ ‘equipment operation,’ ‘ironwork,’ ‘masonry,’ ‘mechanical,’‘plumbing,’ ‘roofing,’ and ‘general work.’ Table 1.

Students generally declare the minor in sophomore year and complete therequirements by fall semester of senior year. The program has graduated 110 students andcontinues to attract new registrants. For instance, the fall 2017 section of the first course in thesequence, “Creativity and Innovation,” contained nearly 30 new students.Engineering Minors at Other UniversitiesSeveral universities offer engineering entrepreneurship courses/minors, but they tend to include amore limited number of courses.

These results also inform engineeringeducators of the importance of instilling the mindset and skillset of creating value in ourgraduates such that they can be value creators in the workplace of the future.Objectives of this studySeveral objectives for this paper were identified at the outset of this work.

By some estimates, 41% of informationtechnology budgets in North America are spent on quality assurance and testing. 1 Softwaretesting helps ensure the correctness of the software being developed, and there are several testsuite quality metrics used in industry to ensure that a test suite properly verifies the behavior ofthe software it tests.One widely-used test suite quality metric is code coverage

We use this information to compare students who stayed in engineering againstthose who left using quantitative data on how certain and interested they initially were inengineering as well as qualitative responses describing why they switched disciplines or leftengineering.IntroductionAs STEM students and workers gain national attention, a growing body of research seeks toexamine why students choose to pursue STEM-based majors as demonstrated in many previousreports [1]-[4]. Supporting this growth, the National Science Board put together a reportexamining the STEM pipeline, the process of students moving from early education, throughhigh school and college, and into STEM careers [5

women’sexperiences, both in education and in their careers. Much of the research on bias in theworkplace has focused on U.S. and European women engineers. Forty years of social scienceresearch have shown the prevalence of implicit bias against women and the ways in which suchbiases impact decisions in hiring, performance evaluations, and compensation. However, similarstudies are scarce in India.Extremely few women in India were earning engineering degrees in the 1980s. Compared to theUnited States, where about 10% of engineering degrees were earned by women, less than 2% ofengineering degrees were earned by women in India [1, 2]. Fast forward 20 years, and in the year2000 women in India had surpassed women in the U.S., earning 24% of engineering

Examination of Learning Community Models on the Retention, Progression and Academic Performance of Engineering Students at a Historically Black UniversityIntroductionThe foundation for learning communities was introduced into higher education over 90 years ago [1]. It is well known that they have apositive effect on measures of student academic performance including retention and graduation rates [2]. Learning communities alsohave been shown to facilitate both the academic and social transition to college for first-generation students [3]. These characteristicsare especially important in the graduation of students underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)disciplines including women and African-Americans

changingfrom 6 to 1 and 7 to 5 for F’16 and S’17, respectively [14].There appears to be general consensus in the literature that a CURE pedagogy leads to positivelyinfluencing students about their choice of major, thereby possibly increasing retention. There isalso an expectation that it encourages more female students to enroll in graduate school. Theauthors’ specific findings indicate a positive impact of research experiences on graduateenrollment. Given these findings, the following research questions were formed with respect tothe industrial engineering major: 1. Does having a CURE experience inspire more female industrial engineering students to stay in the major? 2. Does having a CURE experience inspire more female industrial engineer

Effect on Academic PerformanceAbstractDue to a perceived lack of academic preparation provided by U.S. high schools, an interest inteaching students about metacognition has been developing among educators at the college level.Metacognition is an individual’s awareness of his or her own learning and thinking processes.Directed to learners, it has been described as thinking about your own thinking [1]. Importantly,metacognition is personalized. It is not how everyone thinks or learns.In the literature generated by those interested in providing metacognition intervention, significantthrust has been aimed toward first semester freshmen [1]. That approach seems appropriate,given that strategies learned early may aid students throughout their academic
