engineers are expected to know in industry.2 Engineers inindustry spend much time working on complex system integration, yet few engineeringgraduates understand this process.3 Reference 2 adds “the state of education in this country,especially in science, engineering and technology, has become a matter of increasing concern tomany of us in American industry.”The new ABET requirements support a renewed emphasis on teaching the practice ofengineering. In part, this reform was undertaken in order to help academia to become moreresponsive to the needs of industry. By working to emphasize engineering practice, engineeringprograms are actually working to meet ABET requirements. However, meeting ABETrequirements is now not the goal in and of itself, but

personalcontributions (see Appendix A: Questions 9, 10, and 11). Consistent with KAI theory, the resultssuggest that the more adaptive students are more concerned with issues of internal groupcohesiveness and structure, including coordination of time and resources, inclusion of teammembers, building consensus, and dependence on others. As one more adaptive studentcommented: “I try to include everyone, so when I don’t get a response, it’s difficult to dealwith.” These same students identified their two most valuable contributions to the team asorganization and making decisions.The more innovative students, on the other hand, are less concerned with issues of structure andcohesion, but may tend to “enjoy” the experience more. For example, one of the most

[also] that whole good engineer, student engineering means I have to be a dude that spends all of my days in office hours or at the TA’s office hours brown nosing or asking them questions just all day long like I have nothing else to do, which I think that’s wrong … not every student is able to do that. But I don’t think that they’re going to be better engineers than, say, me. But I think the professors do think that … [interview 4]The narratives faculty portray in their classrooms about the type of people that belong inengineering only serve as instruments to determine who should and shouldn’t participate in thefield [41], [49].

Following the TILT framework,rubrics with details for every point were provided for every assignment. In addition to increasedequity of the learning experience, faculty workload was reduced due to fewer emails (ex. Whydid I not receive points for X?) and

Students will be asked to identify potential areas where controlcan still be beneficial, e.g., to control unwanted vibrations in the inchworm whenever it makesa step. Thus, the inchworm module will be used to convey both analysis issues (modeling andcontrol) and design issues (novel mechanisms to overcome range-vs-bandwidth limits) innanopositioning systems.

not have a positive influence on engineering identity.IntroductionRetention Problem in Engineering. A common issue that plagues the engineering field is attrition, or a lack of retention. Across the last 60 years, nearly half of thestudents initially enrolled in an engineering degree program leave it before graduation [29]. A systematic review of the literature thattargeted retention in engineering programs has discerned that there are six broad reasons why a student may leave their engineeringprogram [29]. These include: a hostile academic environment, difficulty understanding core coursework, a lack of belief in theircapabilities of becoming an engineer, a lack in proper high school preparation, a change in interest or career goals

Mental health support systems are essential to provide guidance to help students,staff, and faculty manage their stress while they are coping with the pandemic. Moreover,assignment and evaluation types must fit into online delivery while academic integrity is takeninto account [13].University graduates not only suffered from final part of their education, but also from poor marketconditions.
