computer simulations in this class in a team-baseddesign approach. Past work has shown that incorporating team-based design projects into first-year engineering courses is beneficial since it increases motivation and improves retention [1-3].In this work, a computer simulation is defined as a program that accepts inputs and performscalculations based on a mathematical model of a system with the intent of understanding thebehavior of said system [4-5]. In our freshman-level course, students used SolidWorks three-dimensional (3D) CAD software to simulate kinematic motion, structural integrity, fluid flowand heat transfer processes (conduction and convection). These types of computer simulationsare often introduced in courses taken later in a typical

Data analysis in Excel,Programming in MATLAB and Software Design Project are three main components of thecourse. First-year engineering courses cover a variety of learning objectives outlined in ABETthat address not only technical and professional outcomes [6] but also outcomes related to teamwork. Teamwork is another important part of the course, which is heavily weighted for gradingpurposes. Teams are formed in the beginning of the semester using a random process of groupingstudents. There are application assignments each week that cover the concepts taught in lectureto assess the student’s ability to apply the knowledge to real world scenarios. Most of

This indicates that this modulelikely had a positive influence for women in particular. Computer Science and Engineering studentsexhibit an initially higher certainty level than other engineering majors which we hypothesize to berelated to prior high school courses taken in computer programming. Finally, certainty level in anengineering major was considered as it relates to academic preparedness and was found to beindependent.BackgroundThe current study was conducted at a medium-sized, Midwestern, selective, private institution whichoffers 5 different engineering departments (with 9 degree programs).

. Our conclusion discusses the challenge undergraduate CSE education faces in addressingthese perceptions and concerns in order to help students make more informed decisions aboutmajoring in CSE.IntroductionAfter years of booming interest, enrollment in computer science and engineering (CSE) is nowsuffering a startling, rapid drop in North America. Between 2000 and 2004, the fraction ofincoming undergraduates planning to major in computer science fell by over 60%, and,historically, this statistic has accurately predicted bachelor’s degree production.1 Likelyconsequences include a shortage of qualified, domestic candidates for computing-related jobsand the downsizing or even elimination of CSE programs and departments.Having recognized the

In the second portion of the sequence, ENG 183 labs provide aquarter-long design, fabrication, and implementation project upon which student teams of fourcollaborate. Students are expected to tend to such issues as initial research, brainstorming,designing, building, testing, and implementation.

We have found, though, that using short,single-period, team projects throughout the semester has several advantages. These include:  Students are forced to build their teamwork skills as the projects cannot be completed in the

Consequently, for this work, we aim to answer the research question:How do first-year engineering students use a large data set to ask questions focused on theclient’s needs?Literature ReviewData analytics (or just “analytics”) has gained popularity among companies, but it still lacks astandard definition among the data related disciplines.

While these studies provide evidence that growth mindset is importantspecifically within the context of undergraduate engineering education, they take more of anoutside-looking-in approach. In other words, they often measure students’ beliefs without anexplicit discussion of the theory with participants.
