creative; I had to be thinking how to surprise in this, how to do this better. But in something that is more operational and that is already done, it is super difficult to have creativity present because you have so many things to do that you just do it." – P6Discussion and LimitationsThese preliminary findings show that Engineering alums perceive their work as not beingcreative, limiting creativity when something is new or a non-structured process. The lack ofcreative opportunities within their work may influence their not seeing creativity as essential forengineers. The perception of lacking creativity, thus a zero-level of creativity, challengesengineering education regarding how we define creativity and communicate its relevance

university-wide educational events that connect first-year engineering students with faculty,staff, and internal organizations to provide hands-on involvement in sustainability initiatives on campusand beyond. These activities are categorized into three types: social, knowledge, and encounter.Social CFAs involve campus-wide networking events, workshops, and activities led bysustainability-focused student organizations and community groups. Knowledge CFAs consist of 50minute workshops that feature a combination between lecture and interactive, hands-on applications ofsustainability concepts, led by faculty and staff engaged in sustainability research and practice. EncounterCFAs offer students site visits to observe and engage with sustainability

A recent (May-June,2003) Prism cover title warned, “The Graduate: Educators struggle to prepare well-rounded engineers for today’s workplace.” In an article of the same name, an Exeloncorporate vice-president, is quoted: “I think universities are honestly trying to change andwork closely with corporations to do so, but I am not sure that the process has been set upto allow them to change as fast as business is.”8 This article continues by saying whilesuccess in engineering curriculum depends on ability to complete problem sets andexams, success in business classes depends on ability to analyze case studies, succeed ingroup projects, and develop and conduct effective presentations.

The ability to understand important topics in engineering drawing such asorthographic projection, isometric drawing, hidden views, and sectional views is very critical asit represents the fundamentals of engineering drawing education. However, research shows thatsome learners with poor spatial ability had trouble understanding basic fundamental concepts ofengineering drawing. This study investigates the correlation between spatial visualization abilityand academic success in a Technical Drawing course which has three sections (i) hand drafting,(ii

In the context of engineering education, aninternal locus of control would describe a student who believes he/ she is capable of controllingfuture success by hard work, study, attendance, and similar efforts. On the other hand, a studentwith an external locus of control believes that study and class attendance may be outweighed bythe random chance of the wrong questions appearing on a test. The Nowicki-Duke Locus ofControl Scale19 was used to assess internal versus external attributions. The scale consists offorty yes or no items that are summed to indicate the respondent’s perceptions of externalcontrol.

students’ intentions to pursue an engineering degree over thecourse of their undergraduate career, and upon graduation, to practice engineering as aprofession. The design of the survey entails development of conceptual variables and surveyquestions generated from a review of engineering education literature and national surveys onundergraduate education, piloting of the survey, and internal consistency analyses. Currently inits second year, the instrument is being administered with 160 students selected from fouracademic campuses.In this paper, we present the variables that are guiding the design of the PIE survey, and discusseach variable in depth by providing its rationale. In addition, we discuss how the data collectedduring the first year–and

The core values of professionalism andrespect were visible in all interactions which strengthened the team's bond. Students felt at easeasking questions and all team members participated in teaching each other to reach the team goal.“I had a great team to work with to help me figure out what needed to be done from me.Everyone helped out when I asked a lot of questions and showed me things that I could do to helpimprove myself.”“The teamwork that our work community has is what makes the jobsite run smoothly andeffectively.”“All of these guys have been so much help for me and
