For some, this experience of constantly learning, of being exposed to new ideas andtesting out new approaches, fed their eagerness to go into graduate school. Others expected todislike research as being too abstract and disconnected from daily life but found they loved theday-to-day work of designing

The first-year term project wasmotivated by program faculty concern that upper level students lacked confidence during theideation phase of their projects. This was noted when students acted as development teams oncomprehensive, collaborative projects such as the culminating major design experience. Inparticular, the steps involving gathering community-based information and prioritizing goals waschallenging for the students. This paper expands on the pilot study in assessing the

education includes issues concerning gender. Selecteddata for women shows that they are underrepresented in engineering disciplines (e.g., proportionof bachelor’s degrees in engineering, tenured/tenure-track appointments on U.S. engineeringfaculties, and employed as engineers) [2]. Although that is the case, other studies found thatbasically both of them have equal opportunity to participate. Eccles and Harold argued thatgender-based level participation is not due to biological reason; rather it is triggered byindividual's perception, task value, and participation [26]. Schreuders, Rutherford, Cox, andMannon in their study found that in general there was no gender difference for biological andagricultural engineering [28]. Limited studies have been

One study onworking in pairs in a computer science lab revealed that students working in pairs are more self-sufficient, better programmers, and more likely to pass the course with a C or better [29]. An in-depth study addresses concerns with retention in STEM fields. The program implemented aProfessional Development Program (PDP) to train faculty how to teach labs with the goal ofincreasing retention of all students. The authors of the study argue that deliberate steps must betaken to ensure labs are inclusive to all [30].

Engineers are critical in the design and experience ofeveryday life; therefore, it is crucial for engineering students to be exposed to social and culturaldifferences and to be encouraged to adequately reflect upon the social impact of their work [10].Not only do engineers need to understand the needs of a diverse customer or client base but thereare also the broader concerns of “public welfare” which include concerns of privacy, socialjustice, and access and equity [10].Despite the broader nod to the importance of this aspect of engineering curriculum, somequestion if engineering education packages social concerns as
