Survey results from peer mentors are also provided. Sharing this summerbridge model will hopefully encourage other universities to take up diversifying summer bridgeprograms and increasing engineering expertise for incoming scholars.Theoretical FrameworkThe design of the Engineering GoldShirt Summer Bridge Program could be described using theconcept of conjecture mapping used in the design based research

I would provide weekly training for students to introduce them to computational techniques and image analysis, while you provided students with guidance on the research project within your discipline. The goal for these manual projects would be to help students gain research skills while also helping you work on a small research problem/project of interest to you. As students gain skills, they may work with you to extend the projects to further automate and accelerate your research.”All of the

Thework is to fully explore what soft skills are most important and are perceived as lacking and thenidentify techniques by which these skills may be successfully enhanced in students. This firstwork helped gather some insight into faculty perceptions of skills lacking and now can lead to anext research question. Considering this multistep approach , a possible next step to continue thiswork would be validation of any weakness among the students. In other words, how do theyview themselves? Do they think they can juggle small and large assignments from multiplecourses well and get work done efficiently? Do

ChoiceAbstract:This complete evidence-based practice paper explores the longitudinal impact of a first-yearengineering course designed to help students discern their future engineering major. The purposeof this study was to assess an engineering educational program’s effectiveness in helping studentsto make an informed selection of an engineering major. Effectiveness is relative and based onmeasures of student persistence and major changes after five semesters. The institution studied isa medium-sized Midwestern, urban public institution in which four cohort years were tracked.Two cohorts (2012 and 2013) took a one-credit hour large lecture (200+ students) course to learnabout the engineering majors offered and is contrasted with two cohorts (2014 and 2015

We surveyed 1,499 students enrolled in programs inall four avenues of the School of Engineering and Sciences after completing the introductorycourse. The overall results of the survey showed a high level of student satisfaction.

This requires explicitly identifying thevocabulary that students need to learn in the course of their studies. Proper specification ofvocabulary is likely to be particularly important in introductory courses that form the foundationof engineering disciplines.Identifying discipline-specific words helps instructors establish clear expectations of requiredvocabulary knowledge, while building robust technical communication skills. If students have aclear understanding of required vocabulary, then instructors will be able to develop higherquality teaching and assessment material. As a

They have fewer opportunities toapply the learnt programming skills compared with computer science or software engineeringstudents. It is common for engineering students to forget the syntax of C language. When a classproject involves software programming, students often spent a large amount of time indebugging syntax and semantics errors, with little time left for algorithm development andverification. Some engineering students consider writing a small program with 300 to 500 linesof code as a painful experience.
