besuccessful in the workforce of 2020. Producing graduates with the attributes of the engineer of2020 (hereafter referred to as the “E2020 attributes”) who are prepared for this dynamic,competitive global workforce is the current challenge for engineering education. Researchers aretasked to empirically identify ways in which undergraduate engineering programs can adjusteducational offerings to reach such a goal.Studies to date have largely focused on ABET criteria and the policies and practices that fosterthe development of each of these student outcomes. Given the newness and non-mandatorystatus of the E2020 attributes relative to the ABET accreditation criteria, little research hasinvestigated engineering student outcomes vis-à-vis the Engineer of

of Spatial Ability for Success in Engineering ProgramsWhile the notion of spatial ability varies across studies because of its complexity and the abilityis loosely defined in most studies, researchers generally agree that spatial ability plays a crucialrole in determining students’ achievement in engineering courses, in particular graphic anddesign courses9, 10, 11, 12. For example, Baartmans (1990)9 found that a student’s score on a spatialability test was the most powerful predictor for students’ success in an engineering designgraphics course among 11 investigated variables (i.e., gender, teacher, experience with shop anddraft training, solid geometry, construction toys, spatial ability, and ACT scores in English,mathematics, social

This finding isdifferent from prior blended instruction research36, but this research was done with full-timeworking graduate students, whereas the present study was conducted with residentially situatedundergraduate students at a research university. In addition, two other reasons for the differencemay also be intervening. First, the completion of the instrument at the end of course survey wasrequested of students, but was not mandatory. Therefore, students completing the survey mayhave had a more personal concern or issue they wished to share in

AbstractBackground and Purpose: As a Work In Progress (WIP) study, we expect to identify and comparethe conceptions and attitudes of undergraduate and graduate chemical engineers aboutengineering and technology, based on Colombian and American sociocultural and historicalidentities. In Colombia, chemical engineers’ perception of themselves and engineering is relatedto the utility that this profession has for the economic development of the country and for solvingindustrial challenges and problems. It seems that this perception is very appreciated for thiscommunity and for the universities which teach this discipline because these are abilities forsecuring a job. Nevertheless, this perception of engineering seems to be different from the ideathat American

Commonly mentioned rationales include relieving financial stressfor residents to attend in-state colleges, increasing student effort and academic achievement, andretaining the most talented students within state7, 8. The realization of some rationales has beenacknowledged by research studies, such as an increased college enrollment rate and improvedacademic performances of both high school graduates and college students9, 10. However, merit-based scholarships have been criticized for placing students from low-income families at adisadvantage in college enrollment11. Also, grade-based criteria have encouraged a number ofunintended behavioral responses. To reach the specified academic requirements

Students with solid STEMfoundations are actively recruited by our higher level educational systems.
