New Engineering Educators

University of Saskatchewan, are not research institutes, degreefactories, or simply storehouses of knowledge. They acquire their distinctive character by theircapacity to unite scholarship with teaching. Scholarship involves the discovery of newknowledge, its integration and synthesis, and its application to new or persistent problems.Teaching requires not just the effective communication of this knowledge, but the creation of acapacity for criticism and self-examination. Given this University's strong commitment toresearch, and its equally strong commitment to a broad range of educational programs, it makessense to place a high value on research that has an impact on the learning experience of students,and a high value on teaching that is informed

Despite of the fact that many students may have been academically prepared andmotivated to study engineering, 50% of students who enter engineering programs as freshman donot earn an engineering degree 1, 2. The gap between engineers needed annually and the numberof graduates available to fill positions is still wide 4, 5. Instructors are confronted by the task ofconveying a general knowledge base to non-majors while simultaneously laying the foundationfor continued study by majors. Teaching electrical engineering (EE) and electrical engineeringtechnology (EET) hands-on courses to non-majors has been recognized by a number

Four or five member student teams conducted an air-cannonexperiment based on projectile motion, energy and momentum conservation theory. Thecorresponding range and the time of flight was measured and compared with the theoreticalvalues obtained from standard equations of motion therefore isolating the drag effect on theprojectile flight characteristics.

Common struggles in proposal development include: setting andmaintaining a timeline to the proposal deadline, creating goals and objectives and using them toorganize a proposal, writing a proposal to sell an idea to a funding agency and not as amanuscript for publication, and focusing text to address review criteria, especially the NSFbroader impacts review criterion.

These Student Instructors are students that previouslycompleted the course and returned to take on the responsibility for the design and delivery oflearning experiences in the classroom. Faculty, therefore, assume a coaching role with the SIsand no longer act as the source of knowledge, educational material, and content delivery for thecourse.This research paper delves into the impact that this learning experience has on studentmotivation.

In the wider STEM scholarship, scholars have demonstrated the impact of religious identityon students’ overall college experience, including the ability to see connections between religiousidentities and their STEM identities (e.g., Rodriguez et al., 2018).Within engineering, foundational research in this space found that college students use religion as a lensto understand their other identity dimensions (Cross, 2016). Religion has also been used as a copingmechanism and a way to connect with others within engineering (Cross, 2016). Overall, the relationshipbetween engineering identity and religious identity is complex and can vary depending on a wide
