American, Latinx, and Pacific Islander engineering students (three co-op, one applicant,and four non-co-op) were interviewed about their co-op perceptions and experiences. Both co-opand non-co-op students highlighted depth of experience as a strong benefit of co-ops. Studentsdiffered in their decisions about whether to pursue co-ops based on how they ranked the relativesignificance of the characteristics of co-ops and internships. Students described how minorityengineering organizations provided them with information about co-ops and influenced theirexpectations and decisions.Research findings could help inform institutions, offices of professional practice, and studentadvisors on how to describe the benefits of co-op participation and address

Instructional Assistants whenthey are administering oral exams.In this study at the University of California, San Diego, 6 courses with a total of 560 students inMechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE), and Electrical and Computer Engineering(ECE) were modified to include oral exams. These courses were taught in the Fall quarter of2021, and class sizes ranged from 30 to 165 students. There were 5 faculty members teachingthese courses, and each developed their own approach to implementing oral exams. This paperdescribes work that is part of a project studying the effectiveness of various oral exam methods[8], [9], [10], [11].

A student’s sense of belonging extends from relationships withpeers and faculty to a more global feeling of being connected to the larger university community.Multiple studies conducted on middle school and high school students found a positiveconnection between a sense of school belonging to academic motivation [14], higher grade pointaverage [15], [16], and better social-emotional functioning. Similarly, at the college level, asense of belonging has been found to be a significant determinant of academic achievement [12]and persistence [5], [13]. Additionally, in a study by Zumbrunn et al.

EngineeringSternberg (1999) defines creativity as the ability to produce work that is novel (i.e., original,unexpected), high in quality, and appropriate (i.e., useful, meets task constraints). Engineering isthe creative application of scientific principles (Standler, 1998). Engineering requiresinnovation, creativity and flair focused in a design process. Design is at the heart of engineeringand it’s where professional engineers demonstrate their creativity and innovation (Felder, 1997).Given that the complexity surrounding every engineering project mounting as natural resourcesdwindle, the world population increases, and the global infrastructure and economy grow evermore intertwined, the creativity and innovation necessary to address the big issues

Another idea was to provide additional resources for each example; butnot on the initial mind map as the level of information on the mind map is seen to be about the maximum that canbe absorbed. This second suggestion (provide additional info) was applicable to both the bio and AM mind maps.Finally, for both mind maps, designers suggested that we develop a web-based system for the mind maps thatcould allow for easy access to the additional information and even to the source documents for that information.6 PROTOTYPESWe have developed two new prototypes that demonstrate capabilities that are relevant to the project

Studies."25The issue of venturing into strange space came to a head when, with the outbreak of World WarII, the United States suddenly faced a manpower crisis. Men were called up to service, andindustry needed people with technical expertise at drawing boards and engineering shops toproduce planes and tanks for the war. So, companies sought to hire female engineers. But theycould not find enough female engineers. Companies like General Electric hired women withknowledge of Math and Science, gave them emergency crash courses and turned them intowartime engineers’ aides.One of the most elaborate of such plans, in 1942, was the Curtiss-Wright airplane company’sinitiative for training "Curtiss-Wright Cadettes."

focus onthe role of professional engineering organizations such as the American Society of CivilEngineers (ASCE) and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). Ethics was nota primary focus of Layton’s work, and this is likely because ethical considerations were largely aposteriori rather than a priori in the historical unfolding of engineering as a profession. In otherwords, concerns pertaining to engineering ethics seemed to emerge alongside the evolution ofengineering as a profession, rather than being laid down and agreed upon beforehand. The mostvivid illustration of this was the rather slow emergence of ethical codes: while the AmericanInstitute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE) was founded in 1884, it was not until 1912 that
