Without the guidance offered byintroductory courses, engineering students run the risk of either staying one or two years in amajor they will eventually dislike or quickly losing interest in their field of study as a result oftaking all the seemingly unrelated math and physics courses.To help their entering freshmen learn more about engineering in general and its variousdisciplines in particular, some schools offer a common freshman experience through the use offirst-year introduction to engineering program1 while others have taken steps to offerintroductory courses in their respective disciplines.2,3Similar to some of the other aerospace engineering programs in the country before it4, theDepartment of Aerospace Engineering (ASE) at Mississippi

interviewed indicated that they saw SLICE as a valuableelement in the engineering program, based on their own experience. All saw it as addingimportant dimensions to the learning experience that were not available through traditionalclassroom exercises, and all believed that it was consistent with efforts to broaden students’understanding of both engineering and their role in society. Finally, though all noted challengeswith regard to implementation, they also indicated that the integration of S-L was worth theextra effort that it often involved. One faculty member even said, “It will change the way wethink about engineering. It adds an additional dimension.” One area in which the SLICEexperience itself can be strengthened is through increased

From this exercise, considerations aroundreproducibility were gradually introduced, starting with a new question: “How will you preserveyour progress along each step of the scientific method?” As a class, simple approaches werenoted. For research design and planning steps such as initial observations, research questions andhypotheses, here is an overall summary of the concepts noted: ● Write down ideas in digital documents such as Google Docs, where collaborators can share this information through email, social media, or other online locations, with varying permissions for viewing or editing. ● Write down ideas on physical paper to quickly draw visual

(2001). 1 Althoughthe ADVANCE program has contributed to the development of a more diverse science andengineering workforce, much remains to be done. Women face deep-seated challenges fromwhen they enter academia as students and these challenges continue through the faculty ranks[34, 39]. As undergraduate students, women encounter differential treatment within theclassroom, contributing to a different and inferior experience than men. Women’s contributionsto classroom discussions tend to be ignored or trivialized by men [40]. Women cope with thismarginalization by creating their own networks of support through close bonds with otherwomen and forming all female clubs [27, 34, 35]. Additionally, the inclination for males tooutnumber the females

, 2]. Training students to develop design thinking and skills will allow them to enterprofessional practice ready to participate in the challenge of infrastructure re-design. Indeed,ABET requires that students have “an ability to apply engineering design to producesolutions…” upon graduation [3]. Perhaps the most effective way to guide students indeveloping design skills is through engagement in real-world projects. Furthermore, providingauthentic design experiences in a supportive educational environment that encourages successcan build self-efficacy (one’s beliefs in their ability to achieve specific tasks), which in turn fuelsmotivation to succeed as an engineer [4]. Promoting engineering self-efficacy is a promisingstrategy for retaining

Surprisingly, it was this group that seemedmost challenged by their task and required the most interaction with the instructor. This wouldfall into the category of a desirable difficulty, as this group was the best versed in the theoreticalrelationships involved in natural frequency and ultimately was able to explain reasons for theresults of the other groups.

The use of time limited exams is broad and includes college entranceexams, graduate school entrance exams, professional and licensing exams and typicalcoursework exams. Entrance and professional exams are achievement tests and also considered“power” tests. Should all tests assume this quality? In engineering fields where professionalexams are frequently required post-graduation, time limited exams may be considered a steppingstone.Previous research has mainly focused on students with disabilities. However, students withoutdisabilities may also suffer from exam anxiety. Exam anxiety may be due to a variety ofpsychometric factors. In order

Below,we examine each one individually.Depending on the goals of a given course, instructors may decide to employ certain types ofassignments and respective feedback techniques, and not others. One important factor in thisdecision is the cost of the feedback ideally provided to students for the various assignments.Consequently, our discussion will be structured so as to associate feedback with the specifictypes of assignments we used in our course.3.3.1.
