gathering exercises increases student awareness of and excitementfor chemical engineering and the likelihood of engaging in life-long learning in an industrial oracademic setting1.This paper provides descriptions of project progression including detailed guidance throughdrafting a research manuscript, instructor feedback and guidance, final project outcomes, as wellas assessments of student learning and attitudes. Project progression is covered in detail becausea majority of students involved in the course had never read a research manuscript and everystudent involved in the course had never before written a research manuscript. Strategicmentoring of undergraduate and graduate students through this process teaches careful andsequential progression

collaboratively and iteratively coded all the transcripts using strategies for analyzingdiscussion transcripts developed in our prior work [36, 37]. We applied codes to NPM turnswithin the transcript; a turn is a block of text having one or more sentences/phrases followed by aresponse from the student avatar. The first two authors, Lottero-Perdue and Malladi, coded fourof the transcripts together and each coded four transcripts independently. We reviewed oneanother’s independent coding, met to reconcile differences, developed emergent codes asnecessary to describe the data, and then returned to the double-coded transcripts to ensureconsistency in coding across all the transcripts.The present study discusses results from analysis of the 12 transcripts of
be a positive contributor in improving freshman retention. Thesecourses have taken the COE curricula back to the fundamentals of engineering where studentslearn by testing and experiencing the laws of physics with their own hands. These experiencesare aimed to show students some of the problems facing engineers in industry and offer reasonsfor the abundance of mathematics and science with which they are faced 18. These coursesintroduce the students to the concept of working in a team environment and promote thestudents’ feeling that they are part of the College 9,10. The utilization of student or faculty to serve as mentors for freshmen has also becomemore numerous in recent years. Whether the mentors are students or faculty, they

Table 3 displays some codes such as “soldering,” “simulating a circuit,”and “collaboration in the lab.” At this stage, we started to notice and identify which codes wererelated to challenging experiences, to rewarding experiences, or to both types of experiencessimultaneously. This was the first step in categorizing our codes, and it was the first point in ourprocess that paved the way for generating the CARE methodology, using the notions ofchallenging and rewarding experiences. Thus, we created two codebooks, one including all thecodes related to rewarding experiences, and the other including the codes related to

While they might not identify theexact role (computer engineer versus biomedical engineer), they maintained realistic, flexibleideas, reflecting on successful role models they aspired to be like. For example, Trinity from Zetaidentified her own assets: Definitely working with, not myself, but with a group. Being able to work with others and help them or teach them. Not really teach, but lead... Because I’ve watched other people, who are like engineers or... I just want to be like them when I’m older. Just, yeah, they give me all the inspiration.Trinity emphasized how engineers worked collaboratively and articulated

One social event per semester also focuses on cultural immersion. Collaborations with multicultural groups across campus have also aided this study. The results suggest that through new intercultural initiatives, participants show an increase in Cultural SelfAwareness (knowledge), Openness (skills) and Empathy (attitude). A significant number of participants are enthusiastic about learning about crosscultural differences and attending cultural appreciation events and have learned how to apply these skills more broadly due to the efforts of this study.

Mirmiran [12] sought to incorporate a comprehensive concrete lab and field experience inthe reinforced concrete structures course based on feedback from alumni and local industry. Priorto this, concrete testing was “limited and combined with other materials in a one-credit structurallab.” Mirmiran coordinated the lectures and laboratory experiments as much as possible whilealso incorporating nondestructive testing (NDT) into the curriculum. The primary focus of thislab was NDT testing of material samples and not reinforced concrete testing.

Thecourse includes three modules: Systems and Sustainability Perspectives, Systems PerformanceAnalysis, and Economic Decision-Making Tools and Project Evaluation. In addition, students arerequired to complete a final project that requires a sustainability analysis of an existing civilinfrastructure system. More recently, a new elective entitled Sustainable Engineering (CEE4803/8813) was created for students to further enrich their knowledge of sustainability.

Even though standards, like engineering itself(10) , are under constant development in “an iterative process of comment, feedback, andrevision,” (16), it seems timely for the K-12 engineering education community to get on boardwith the initial science standards development. The NAE Standards Committee, itself, wrote that,“… there is enough agreement about most of the major ideas to suggest that a consensus couldbe reached through thoughtful, collaborative deliberation, (3 p. 30)”.

This ties in with a broader impact of this project, which is to better prepare the nextgeneration of engineering educators from the training we develop and implement. Some of theIAs who participate in this project have a strong interest in engineering education careers, andthe IA training they receive from this project will better prepare them as engineering educators.Oral exams are also excellent opportunities for technical conversations, similar to those seen inindustry interviews or in authentic team collaborations. IA training for this project, thus,translates beyond academic careers and can be of value to IAs focused on industry careers.Develop
