difficult and stressful time of life, but I’ll focus more on the generaltypes and sources of assistance. Aside from the teachers and staff at Twin Cities Engineering(TCE), the clients, mentors, and other students were of great help and impact to me.Additionally, my network of support extends beyond Minnesota State Mankato and mycommunity college. Without these helping hands, shoulders to lean on, and creativebrainstormers in my corner, I feel that I wouldn’t have made it this far or have been successful inmy classes at TCE.Primarily, the teachers can develop strong emotional connections with each of their studentsbecause of the small size of the program.

Engineering laboratories provide unique opportunities for students tohave hands on experiences and is revealing for them to see that some simple experiments donot provide the “exact” anticipated solution as prescribed by theory. This scenario allows theintroduction of practical topics like calibration, error analysis and design of experiments.The authors agree that laboratory experiences prove to be valuable to students and arecertainly useful once

Inthis case, different meanings could lead to different strategies used in subsequent problemsolving efforts.Consider the student who “starts thinking about whether engineering is the best major for her.”This student’s reflective challenge is to determine how to interpret features of her experience interms of their meaning using an identity lens. For example, should her concerns about thedifficulty of the subject matter be interpreted as meaning that she does not belong, or does shedetermine that her

It is expected that thisintegration will enable students to learn by simulating, the next best thing to learning by doing,and the only practical approach in a field such as transportation that involves various drivers,vehicles and control decisions at any time.
