Paper ID #22387Characterizing Students’ Intercultural Competence Development Paths Througha Global Engineering ProgramMs. Kirsten Davis, Virginia Tech Kirsten Davis is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Engineering Education at Virginia Tech, where she also completed her master’s degree in Higher Education. She is the graduate assistant for the Rising Sophomore Abroad Program, a global engineering course and study abroad program for first year engi- neering students. Her primary research interests are engineering study abroad, developing intercultural competency in engineering students, and international higher
traditional lectures. The three assignments were developed to reinforce thematerial covered in class and help the students apply the information discussed in lectures.Lab topics for the course where determined in consultation with each of the graduate students.The topic that the individual graduate student was studying for research was modified and usedto develop a lab. This ensured that the necessary lab equipment was available to the class andallowed the graduate student to teach the rest of the class about their research procedures,instrumentation and data analyses. This also helped to diversify the course lab topics intodifferent discipline specific areas. When students did not have research topics that could be usedto develop a lab, the

come to be studied in the engineeringdomain, including how engineers – predominantly students and professionals – approach real-world problems that they may face at school or in industry. Ill-structured problems have receivedan increasing amount of interest in the past two decades as it has been identified that real worldproblems that graduating engineering students will face when they begin to work in industry aremore commonly ill-structured than well-structured. Research and journals regarding ill-structuredproblem solving (e.g., [2], [5], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12] [13], [14], [15], [16], [17]) have covered arange of topics, including problem definition and formulation, verbal protocol methods, andproblem solving research studies
application in solving of the real-life engineeringproblems. One of the key areas of focus at our institute is state of the art modern laboratories thatcan prepare the next generation of mechanical engineering students to assume successful careerpaths in the Energy industry in the 21st century. Among the essential topics in fluid mechanics,the study of fluid flow visualization using non-destructive optical methods is extremelyimportant. Particle image velocimetry (PIV) is a modern and powerful method for investigatingfluid flow. PIV has many applications in research and engineering, including in the oil/gas andthe broader energy area. The purpose of this paper is to propose a PIV system that caneffectively serve to cover the fundamental operation of

Major is a fifth-year Ph.D Candidate and National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fel- low in the Purdue University Engineering Education Program. As an undergraduate student at the Univer- sity of Nevada, Reno (UNR), Justin completed Bachelor’s degrees in both Mechanical Engineering and Secondary Mathematics Education with an informal emphasis in engineering education. Through his in- volvement in the UNR PRiDE Research Lab and engagement with the UNR and Northern Nevada STEM Education communities, he studied student motivation, active

Researchers from four different institutions—Michigan TechnologicalUniversity, Tufts University, University of Colorado Boulder, and James Madison Universityconducted a longitudinal study to measure the impacts of service learning on engineeringstudents’ learning using five indicators, i.e. self-efficacy, motivation and retention, engineeridentity, attitudes on learning, cultural competency and mental
thestudents that enroll in Calculus I in the fall semester of a given year complete the mathematicssequence. So, the percentage of students that eventually complete the mathematics sequence is avery rough approximation of the graduation rate. There are many reasons for the difference. Infall 2014 about two-thirds of the students entering engineering in a given year began by enrollingin Calculus I. Some students start their undergraduate study in pre-calculus. Others begin inCalculus II, Multi-variable Calculus, Differential Equations, or have completed the mathematicssequence before enrolling in Texas A&M. Also, students may graduate from the college ofengineering with degrees that do not require the entire four-course mathematics sequence

The use of PG8 rather than six yeargraduation is reiterated by Ohland, et. al.4 Their findings include observations that “students whomatriculate as ‘undeclared’ do not select STEM fields,” and “(engineering) has the lowest rate ofaffinity for students matriculating in other major groups.”Nearly all research on engineering retention cites the landmark study by Seymour and Hewitt5,Thinking About Leaving: Why Undergraduates Leave the Sciences. Yet it too is primarily cast interms of matriculation major. On page 19, they state that “the level of transfer into S.M.E.(STEM) majors from
