A survey was conducted during and after the project. The survey results werecompared and the changes of the students’ conceptions of engineering designs were discussed.IntroductionThe capability of design has been widely agreed to be one of the most important characteristicsof engineers. A good understanding of engineering design concepts and engineering designprocesses helps engineering graduates to achieve a smooth transition from academia to industry.Therefore, the well-known ABET engineering accreditation criteria1 requires engineeringgraduates should

attainment of the targeted learning objectives. To that end, two engineering education researchers planned and carried out an intrinsic case study of the Winter 2013 offering of the course. After executing the study, the researchers were surprised to find quite a negative bent in students’ responses to the course in the data. They recognized that students’ expectations and perceived experiences were quite different from the instructor’s expectations and intended experiences for his students. Therefore, the study was extended for a second year. The objective of the broader study, within which this work is positioned, was to be a formative assessment tool for the course to explore students

reason these classes are perceived aschallenging3,4 and are sometimes called stumbling block courses.The challenge students encounter in engineering courses is escalated by the fact that no ability orskill acts in isolation. Research from cognitive psychology5,6,7 provides ample evidence thatconstructs must be coordinated or integrated if students are to reach levels of competence orproficiency within their domain. Therefore, in this paper, the researchers advocate for designingclassroom measures that represent construct sets required to solve problems effectively in areas ofspecialization such as statics and thermodynamics.The researchers also introduce psychometric questions to be addressed in the study concerning thereliability and validity

Some of theseequity gaps present themselves as differences in academic achievement betweenunderrepresented minority URM students and non-URM students or women in STEM fields andarise due to numerous academic and social factors. Significant factors for attrition areperceptions about careers in the STEM fields, poor experiences with the academic culture andteaching pedagogy, and declining confidence due to demanding curriculum. One study showsthat students without early exposure to real-world applications of their major, that give positiveinsight into potential careers, do not always connect with upper-classmen to use as successfulpeer role models.
