However, some students do not appropriately participate in courseprojects, making teamwork more challenging than it needs to be for others. As a result, manystudents fail to develop teamwork skills, and some become frustrated with course projects. Thisstudy adopted the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to develop tools

of freshman in engineering. This study also shows that students appear to enroll in engineering with manyexpectations and a priori perceptions, like the individual economic reward and many others, butthey don’t establish their priorities, forgetting their personal interests. This causes manydifficulties in all the progression of the academic life1. Some professors or parents should try toaccommodate the expectations of students through appropriate curriculum or personalmentoring, helping students in the selection of choices. Page 12.818.3B.

undergraduate students ofcolor in STEM are more likely to pursue graduate degrees when they are mentored by faculty in research[10–13].A scaffolded approach with research experiences embedded in the curriculum over multiple years (Figure1) can be particularly powerful, as more experienced undergraduate researchers develop skills and adeeper sense of research identity [14]. A summary of other recent studies focused on STEM identity forstudents is in Table 1.Prybutok et al. [15] found that mechanical engineering students had a stronger physics identity comparedto civil engineering students in upper division courses. Godwin et al. [16] determined that students whohave been in engineering for longer feel more confident. Patrick et al. [17] found that

At A&M, a LC is a group of students, faculty and industry that have commoninterests and work as partners to improve the engineering educational experience. LCs valuediversity, are accessible to all interested individuals, and bring real world situations into theengineering classroom. The key components of A&M engineering LCs at are: (1) clustering ofstudents in common courses; (2) teaming; (3) active/coopera tive learning; (4) industryinvolvement; (5) technology-enhanced classrooms; (6) peer teachers; (7) curriculum integration;(8) faculty team teaching; and (9) assessment and evaluation.

Researchers limited analysis to Q4 because it mostdirectly required students to connect the narrative to the field of engineering. Researchers werealso interested in student perceptions of
time as “EC2000”.The change constituted a shift fromcounting input credits to focusing on the definition of student outcomes and development ofstrategies for assessing whether students were achieving these outcomes. These new and lessprescriptive assessment criteria meant that there was a potential for programs to become moredivergent in their approach to the curriculum, though they remain bounded by program-specificcriteria. The curriculum must provide a thorough grounding in the basic sciences including chemistry, physics, and/or biology, with some content at an advanced level, as appropriate to the objectives of the program. The curriculum must include the engineering application of these basic sciences to the design

Session Number 2630 An Integrated Approach to Developing Professional and Technical Skills in Engineering Undergraduates Thomas A. Litzinger, Professor Mechanical Engineering, Penn State, University Park, PA 16802AbstractThe general consensus in industry, government, and academia is that engineers will need morehighly developed professional skills to succeed in the new millenium. Of the ABET EC2000eleven basic outcomes, six relate to professional skills such as communication, teamwork, andunderstanding broader issues related to engineering. Thus, engineering programs must find waysto more effectively
them in practical scenarios such as system design, optimization, orsimulations [16,17]. Furthermore, integrating programming into the curriculum is essential forpreparing engineers to solve problems more efficiently by accelerating computations, automatingtasks, and enabling the rapid analysis of large datasets to generate insights and predictions,ultimately improving real-world problem-solving and minimizing errors [16].The following sections of the paper will outline our process in developing and implementing theinstructional approach, provide reflections from both students and instructors, highlight successstories and challenges, and discuss future directions. 2.
