They also bring tolight the dualistic nature of engineering education, with faculty and courses focused either on thepractice of engineering, or on an academic research-oriented approach to engineering. Thispaper discusses the potential effects of the recommendations on mechanical engineeringprograms, including the curriculum, faculty, and reward structure. The mechanical engineeringprogram at the University of Minnesota Duluth is analyzed as a specific example, and a plan forimplementing the Vision 2030 recommendations is presented along with a discussion of potentialdifficulties

Additionally, research using methods other than surveys and interviews, both of whichsuffer from limitations such as low response rates and difficulty in scaling, could create a fullerpicture of the experiences of CSt.As mentioned above, no studies in this review focused specifically on engineering students.Previous research suggests that engineering students differ from other students – including fromother students studying science – in a variety of ways, including time to graduation, number ofmajor changes, number of credits completed, and number of hours attempted each term.

What impact, if any, does a project-based STEM curriculum have on the graduation rate of high school students? 2. Compared to matched non-PLTW students, how does participation in PLTW courses affect students’ likelihood to graduate with an engineering major compared to matched non-PLTW students? 3.

Overthe course of the study, some participants changed their view of career possibilities; for thosewho had not yet decided on a career, concrete exposures to possible BME careers contributed tomore optimistic career outlooks. Suggestions for future research to more broadly understandBME students’ career exploration are also presented.IntroductionBiomedical engineering (BME) degrees are often advertised as a means to pursue many careerpathways upon graduation [1]; however, at the same time, their curricula has been criticized asbeing too broad and not deep enough to prepare students adequately for industry work [2]–[4].Studies have explored these criticisms by looking at measures

Furthermore, to our knowledge, no studies have yet investigated thesedifferences across two or more institutions, thus limiting findings to institution-dependentconclusions.In previous work1,2, we performed cross-institutional studies to determine the effects of variousfactors on graduation and retention of engineering undergraduates. Our results demonstrated thatSAT math scores, SAT verbal scores, high school GPA, gender, ethnicity and citizenship all playa significant role in both engineering student graduation and retention rates.

Engineering student engagement research has beenperformed on co-curricular experiences and has led to an increased emphasis from institutionson students’ participation in those experiences. Similarly, BME students regularly engage in co-curriculars to supplement their experience in the formal curriculum because of concerns abouttheir professional marketability when they graduate. To help students make an informed co-curricular engagement choice, it is important to understand not only what professional outcomesstudents gain from their co-curriculars as has been previously studied, but also what about theco
