Although the engineering communityvalues these diverse ideals, diverse individuals often report negative experiences within theirengineering college experience4–6. Students that make up the majority of engineering are Whiteheterosexual males that transition to college directly after high school following the footsteps oftheir parents7–9. To understand the experiences of students who do not fit this mold, this researchpaper seeks to understand first generation upper division engineering experiences and how theseexperiences influenced student belongingness to engineering.Understanding the experiences of first generation students allows for greater

for more preparation in professionalskills amongst engineering graduates. In particular, leadership has emerged as an importantquality in new graduates as they engage with the workforce. This is reflected in current ABETstandards and the core goals of the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) Grand Challenges.Increasingly, higher education institutions are responding to these demands. For example, thereis an increasing number of engineering leadership development programs, as well as increasingresearch in the topic [e.g., 1, 2]. However, there is concern that these leadership programs maynot be contributing to leader development effectively. Moreover, without clear agreement (andmetrics) about what constitutes effective engineering leadership

Whilewomen are pursuing and persisting in engineering education programs at rates comparable tomen, two thirds of women leave the engineering profession within fifteen years of obtaining theirdegree [3], [4]. This leaking pipeline is of great concern and thus our study focuses onunderstanding the career choices of women in the engineering workplace.Understanding how individuals disengage and withdraw from the engineering profession isrelevant to individuals as well as those who mentor, educate, and employ them.

learning physics. The long-term goal of DREAM is to instill a passion for STEMfields in mentees. Of equal importance, mentees must be prepared for the coursework that theywill face upon entering college in a STEM field. Thus, by tracking improved knowledge inphysics concepts, DREAM is able to ensure that the mentees are both interested and prepared forstudy in STEM fields. The fact that DREAM is able to present basic physics concepts in aninteractive, hands-on way allows for both of these goals to be met.Inventory data from spring 2009 and fall 2009 is presented for both mentees and a control group.Retention issues are also discussed, as concept retention has been measured both in the short-term (several weeks) and long-term (approximately four

While it certainly has its own concerns, the h-index is still the mostcommon measure of an individual researchers measure of both citation impact and productivity[4]. Next, for an individual student one may determine competence by combined information oftheir degrees, the awarding institutions, and the grade point average (GPA) for each degree [5].How can industry compare engineering graduates from different institutions in differentcountries, much less

First year engineering students were enrolled in an introduction to engineeringcourse that has used themes including robots, sustainability, and games to encourage studentparticipation with course materials and foster student engagement through open-ended projects.Here, we describe and analyze the use of a new theme: escape rooms and puzzles.Throughout two semesters, students are required to create three projects. 1) Individual students design a puzzle using the engineering design process to iterate on their ideas until they make an innovative and interesting project. 2) Groups of 3-4 students make a tabletop escape room contained within a small box to encourage the creation of an escape room experience with smaller components

three mechanisms through which sources interact to impact astudent’s perception of expectations as well as their self-perception. Expectations are not specificto individual mechanisms, but the same expectation can be internalized differently depending onthe student and the context. More specifically, compounding, conflicting, and triangulating ofexpectations describe dynamic ways in which expectations interact with often amplified impactson the emotional experiences of students.Compounding ExpectationsCompounding expectations are defined as expectations from multiple sources that encourage asimilar set of behaviors. Students are generally concerned about meeting expectations fromvarious sources and may prioritize those influences differently

Itis possible that while the more innovative individuals were less comfortable with the tighterconstraints of the Best Fit solution, the more adaptive individuals may have felt similar discomfortwith the Dark Horse solution—and thus, the emotional variability of everyone concerned wassimilar over the course of the design challenge. While our current study will not allow us to confirmthese hypotheses, they do suggest new questions and directions for future studies, includingtracking the amount of time each team spends in Best Fit and Dark Horse solution development,respectively.In summary, the qualitative observations enabled by using the emotional state graphs comparefavorably to what we might learn from non
Society of Engineering Education2. The second and I believe very important benefit in this method of instructing the Design Process is that the Instructor actually solves a problem that he/she has seen only for the first time with the students. Although the unfamiliarity can be very disconcerting and requires considerable course preparation (so what’s new!), the immediate effect of having one or more “Eureka” episodes with the student, as an interesting piece of the puzzle actually gets discovered/invented and falls into place, is as exuberating and rewarding for the Instructor as it hopefully is for the student.PROBLEM SELECTION:Using the 80/20 Rule, 80 % of the difficulty in solving an engineering problem is selecting thecorrect
