The reality is that many master of science degree programs in engineering fields rely onthe development of technical and problem solving skills in their respective curriculum. As aresult, students may not be required to develop and refine writing or research skills. Often, theprimary objective most masters programs at the Case Study University, is securing full-timeemployment. Because of the

One of theadditional questions asked MET programs to list their perceived strength(s), particularly thosestrengths attracting new students. We hope these strength data provide information about whattype of manufacturing curriculum attracts students to MET programs. A question pertaining tograduate level degrees was also added to the survey, as the 2005 survey did not specifically askprograms if a M.S. in Manufacturing Engineering Technology was offered.The graduate starting salary question was modified from a two-part question where a yes/noquestion was followed by a

A curriculum thatlinks socially relevant content to science and STEM careers7 and learning would also enhancelinking abstract ideas in science to real-world contexts. Thus, both college and pre-collegeinstructors should be concerned about students’ understanding of the societal relevance ofscience and engineering.The differences in way that males and females view the societal relevance of engineering arebased in differences in the way men and women view knowledge and learning. Women are“connected knowers” who understand through context and relationships among people9. Menbase their knowledge on logic10. These differences need to

This cohortadvocates that a curriculum centering around technical writing and succinct descriptions ofprocesses, rather than analysis of themes in fiction novels, is a better, and more effective, use ofan engineering student’s time and energy. One such program is the semester-longUndergraduate Advanced Writing Communication for Engineers course offered at the Universityof Southern California, in which students gain writing and public speaking skills by writing forthe school’s engineering magazine2.

The problem with that model is that industry no longerhas the time to teach the applications and expects when our students

This paper was written to assist newfaculty, or those new to PBL, to design appropriate projects for a course.The original motivation for this work came from the re-development of curriculum at sevenAtlantic Canadian universities that share a common two year engineering program which leadsto completion of two more years at Dalhousie University. All seven have begun to implement adesign-project core of courses throughout all common semesters in the first two years. Changehas been initiated as a result of new accreditation guidelines

For thepurpose of this study, those above the age of 25 years, enrolled in a bachelor’s engineeringprogram, are considered adult students. The age of 25 was selected as a threshold for this studyto exclude traditional students who entered degree programs right after high school, even thosewho may take up to six years for degree completion. Adult students can add a valuabledimension to the engineering curriculum, enriching the classroom dynamics by sharing real-world experiences, presenting a different model of faculty-student interactions, and bringing a set Page

In The Engineer of 2020: Visions ofEngineering in the New Century [9], the National Academy of Engineering stresses thatcreativity is an essential quality of engineers that should be embraced and cultivated. Despite theincreasing calls for engineering education to engage students in curriculums that foster creativity[7], [10]-[13], engineering education does not place a strong emphasis on the development ofcreative skills and instances of explicit creativity instruction are scarce [14]-[16].In undergraduate engineering education, learning environments have been criticized for blockingcreativity due to their rigid instruction [17], outcomes-based course structure [18], lack ofacceptance of risky behavior [15], and inability to

Background and IntroductionProject-based learning has been gaining popularity in engineering curricula to address theprofessional skills component (or A-K criteria) introduced by ABET in the 2000 criteria2.

The instructor’s role is to guide the students, walking around theroom and probing them with questions to check their understanding.25-26 The POGIL approachhas primarily been used within the chemistry curriculum,31-34 with recent development ofmaterials for engineering.27-28This study took place in the second semester general chemistry course at a small liberal artscollege in the Rocky Mountain region of the US.

learning (PBL) is a pedagogical approach that has been identified as promoting learningoutcomes consistent with ABET criteria, though the motivational impacts of this approach areless understood. Because problem-based approaches are expanding from use in traditionalcapstone design courses to cornerstone design courses and design courses across the curriculum,it is particularly important to understand the impact such approaches have on students’ beliefsabout engineering and their intended career plans.To help address this gap, we are conducting a three-year study using motivation theory to better Page 22.1180.2understand how two critical elements of

Fleming focused on the stories of Black and Hispanic students in engineering programs at MSIs.Looking specifically at the stories of Black students, they found that the engineering culture at theirinstitutions was influential. Black students identified their engineering culture at their institution asrigorous rather than an exclusive rigor that presented as a weeding-out mechanism. They identified therigor of their courses and curriculum as making them “good” engineers. Many participants leaned intothe rigor and believed in it. Their engineering culture was inclusive and purposeful. Students highlightedthe culture of engineering professors and staff as caring and intentional. They knew they belonged andwere wanted in their
