provides sessions on topics that help students go beyond just the engineering tasks andhelp them prepare for working in a global setting. Some topics include: Working in Teams/Dealing with Conflict; Science, Technology and Society; Effective/Professional Communication- technical writing and oral presentations; Entrepreneurial Thinking- innovation and product development; Reflection on Personal Goals, Lifelong Learning, and Vocation.This course also works well for the long term projects as it may be taken multiple times for creditand work on projects span all phases of the engineering design process. In order to completetheir service project, students self-select into teams that are typically interdisciplinary. Theteams are
As summarized above, VTC digital storytelling apprentices participated in the productionof several undergraduate film projects, however given that the rainwater catchment project washappening on site at the VTC– the team working on this production had more regularopportunities to apply the digital storytelling skills they were gaining directly to this particularproject-topic. Digital storytelling apprentices began their apprenticeship with a local freelanceprofessional videographer, and his undergraduate assistants with a set of eight technical trainingsessions. These sessions were designed to familiarize youth the equipment and software theywould be using to document projects as well as to inspire them to find their own “voice” or

IntroductionThe modern machining industry remains one of the vital sections of the world economy, with asubstantial workforce - in the USA alone, the machining industry has employed over 300,000skilled machine tool operators, as of 2021 [1]. The issue of an aging and declining machinistworkforce is brought up by industry sources, with an average age of trained professionals in thefield reported at approximately 45 to 56 years [2, 3]. The shrinking workforce causes a need todevise methods to ensure increased enrollment and retention of trained machinists to meet futureindustrial demands. If

Feedback Impacts Engineering Student MotivationAbstractThis theory paper submitted to the Faculty Development ASEE Division will organize and frameliterature around feedback and research related to the impact of feedback in engineering courses.Student learning is monitored, informed, and measured by instructors using a variety ofinstruments and methods that have been developed, iterated upon, and improved througheducational research. One classroom practice that has been shown to be beneficial to students isproviding appropriate feedback. This paper will explore what is known about the impact offeedback on student learning and how that research is being applied in an engineering educationsetting.This literature review
students’understanding and comprehension of challenging material [1]. The ability to utilize their sensesof sight, touch, and hearing when learning about the behavior of materials and structuresincreases their ability to apply their knowledge. Improving a student’s spatial skills and ability tovisualize complex problems has been shown to improve retention and performance inengineering courses [2]. Hands-on mechanics demonstrations and activities have been utilizedfor decades [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. Recently, educators have developed tutorials and databases toassist other educators looking to incorporate these hands-on activities into their own courses [8].Even professional societies such as the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) haveinvested

to utilize the surroundings, physical and social, that exist so as to extract from them all that they have to contribute to building up experiences that are worth while.10 Mariappan et al. note: The concept of Service Learning is not new, and it has been in use in various forms especially in liberal arts and education. Traditionally, engineering has been engaged with the community beyond the campus boundaries through technical assistance programs, university extension, and work of individual faculty serving as consultants to local community organizations. However, the community engagement is usually not systematically integrated within the engineering curriculum. Most programs tend to be
designed as a volunteer programwhere students would serve as ambassadors from the College of Engineering at events both inthe community and on-campus. The program evolved to include a book scholarship as anincentive for participation in the program. Ambassadors were selected based on their academicstanding and performance, and trained on ways to interact with students of varying abilities and Page 24.677.2attentions in a classroom setting. Their function was to relay the enthusiasm they demonstratedas they interfaced with prospective students, other K-12 students and educators.

Facilitators need to encourage the participants to recognize that they have needs; then framethese needs in respect to their challenges in curriculum and instruction.3. We suggest careful planning of a combination of workshop and distance learning activitiesand to build in time for participants to explore their own problems, individually, then in smallgroups. One 5 or 6-hour workshop session is not enough to cover the wide breadth of content.Similarly, a continuing professional relationship with others is also needed to join research,development, and publication in a meaningful way.

most widely known exampleof an international collaborative effort to produce structured reviews is Cochrane (alsoknown as, the Cochrane Library), a British charity founded in 1993 with the motto,“Trusted evidence. Informed decisions. Better health.” Cochrane is named after Dr.Archie Cochrane.Depending upon the approach employed in creating the summary and the types ofpublished research studies analyzed, the various styles of structured reviews includescoping reviews, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses, among others [8]. Importantaspects of performing a structured review include: 1) identifying a research question; 2)defining inclusion and exclusion criteria; 3) collecting all possible studies according tothe inclusion criteria; 4
research procedures of phenomenography are derived from thework of Marton and Booth [3] and Bowden and Green [1]. The framework assumes a non-dualiststance based on a relational view of the world in which internal and external views of the worldare interconnected. The product of phenomenography is an outcome space which consists of cat-egories of description, or qualitatively different ways of experiencing the phenomenon, that arelogically related to each other, “typically as a hierarchy of structurally inclusive relationships”[4, p. 323]. Table 1 compares individual phenomenography in engineering education research [5-8] with our team approach.Table 1. Comparison of Individual and a Team Approaches to Phenomenography Aspect

representation may result from thebelief of technology being male-center and exclusive of female areas of proficiency.Under-representation has been present in the industrial workforce as well. In the actual industrial setting, there once appeared to be a major division between Page 12.740.3male and female job positions and responsibilities. Appiah (2002)5 indicated thattraditional fields for males include: science, engineering, and other technical areas, whilethe traditional fields for females are education, history, and other social sciences. Bostic(1999)9 suggested that this might be a result of females allowing traditional roles todetermine their
new media programming, such as televisiondramas with women engineers, computer technicians, and/or engineers in leading roles, mighthelp attract more women to these fields. This paper identifies a theoretical rationale for a mediacentered strategy. It involves using the mass media to create a more positive understanding ofwomen in these professions. It then describes a pilot study that utilized a national sample. Datafrom that survey suggest that a media-centered approach might have some success in producinggreater interest among women in pursuing certain STEM careers.IntroductionIt is commonly accepted that part of the solution to the increasing problem of the shortage ofwell trained technical personnel in all advanced industrial nations
