Application to a Minority-serving InstitutionAbstractOver recent decades, federal and private organizations efforts to fund females-centered projectshave paved the way to a vast array of empirical studies aimed at the advancement of females.For the most part, these studies assess the conditions for females in terms of their recruitment,retention, and progression in undergraduate/graduate studies or faculty positions. These studiesconclude with the proposition of policies and practices that are intended to help transforminstitutions favorably for females. However, while large investments are done to change thisparadigm, females in this era still face discrimination and are treated unfairly in many differentsettings. New and innovative methods are

This work builds upon prior research by trying to understand which constructs ofempathy are most impacted by a rehabilitation engineering course, as well as which courseactivities seemed to have the highest impact on students’ development of empathy.Defining EmpathyEmpathy is the ability to be affected by and share the emotional state of another, to assess thereasons for the other’s state and to identify with the other, adopting his or her perspective [8]. Inhuman-centered engineering design processes, empathy is a critical skill for effective decision-making and successful product development [9

The objective of the research program had to be aligned with the second year course learning outcomes in such a way that the research experience contributed to the core learning outcomes. Ideally a student could choose only to follow the Icarus learning path and still be assessed for the required learning outcomes of the second year core classes. 3.

The combination of decreasing funds forengineering monographs and a new library strategic goal of maximizing campus wideaccess to library collections, forced the engineering librarians to pilot alternativeacquisition models that offer access to as much content as possible within the reducedbudget. We identified criteria applicable to EBA model assessments and the limitationsof each model within our library. For engineering disciplines we determined that EBAmodels provide significantly enhanced access to needed content, offer

Myopic focus on demographic diversity may mask homogeneity in other respectsamong the students admitted into STEM fields. For example, there is evidence that individualswho are typically attracted, selected, and retained by engineering programs tend to expresscertain personality characteristics of Introversion, Intuition, Thinking, and Judging (INTJ) asdefined by Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) [1]. As STEM-based education programs, engineering in particular, prioritize an increasedemographic diversity, student recruitment efforts pay less attention to personality and

team.Emphasizing Peer Feedback and Individual AccountabilityBecause most of the real work of capstone design occurs within the team, instructors often relyon peer feedback and logs of student activities (i.e., “time cards") as a tool to assess individualcontribution to the overall effort and to adjust grades accordingly. Though capstone peerfeedback and time cards were used at Florida Tech in past years, implementation approachesvaried. In some cases the students received peer feedback too late for them to change behaviorthat semester. Time cards were often handmade forms filled out by students and signed by thestudent leaders, which could be cumbersome to manage. We hypothesized that individual andteam performance would improve if a peer feedback and

This analysis validated new items that were added to the MAE (C and V) andvalidated the survey for a new population. Prior to the EFA, incomplete entries were listwisedeleted. A total of N=223 completed entries were used for the EFA and subsequent analysis. Ascree plot test [40], [41], and the FTP literature were used to determine the appropriate numberof factors.

Taken together, these documents constructthe department’s image of an ‘ideal engineer.’ Undergraduate students’ engineering identities have emerged as a prominent researchtopic among engineering educators. Identity—both in terms of social identities (i.e.,race/ethnicity, gender, etc.) and as engineers (i.e., viewing oneself as an engineering person)—has been found to play a role in undergraduate persistence [1], [2], retention [3], [4], [5], andeven teamwork [6], [7]. Recent research extends beyond assessing impact to understanding theconcept itself—for example, recent work has identified recognition and interest as key players inwhether or not a student will develop an engineering identity [8], [9], [10

This study involves 8th grade students located withina single science teacher’s classroom exploring the integration of engineering activities andcontent for the first time. We assessed student attitudes using a survey constructed by the
