In engineering, sketches have a variety of uses, in that they canbe used for brainstorming ideas or for social and communicative practices, which differs slightlyfrom that in other fields. Sketching in engineering is used for field-related practices as well as forexploratory and ideation purposes. Each of these purposes offers a critical piece of learning thatmay need to be used in conjunction with one another. With the versatility of sketching practices,there are inevitable challenges when determining the appropriate times and contexts to employthese methods as well as the distinctions in defining the term. Additionally, for students who donot consider themselves artistic

Students’ Financial Profile More than 76% of the students at Morgan State University receive some sort of financial aid, scholarship and/or loans without which most of them would not be able to pursue college or higher education. Those who do not receive aid, or receive partial aid, have to work long hours to pay for their education and living expenses. The negative impact of working hours on student performance [4] is well established and documented in educational research. Although the studies are mixed[1] regarding the impact of work on students’ academic performance based on motivation, our experience has indicate that working students demonstrate different levels of
