In later work, Francis et al. ((2022), p.81)emphasized the inter-professional aspect of judgment processes in teams and extended their work todefine engineering judgment as a holistic participatory capacity integrating the technical and socialcontext of engineering work, the cultural and discursive production of professional identities, andnaturalistic decision-making processes. Moreover, the ambiguity and uncertainty that is often present indesign or analytical situations requires

New assessment results quantifying student success on the entrepreneurialprojects, both in terms of developing student interest at the beginning of the semester and inconvincing faculty at the end of the semester that a project merits additional effort in the junioryear, will also be presented.I. 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. TheCollege of Engineering at Rowan University has adopted an eight-semester sequence of courses,known as Engineering Clinics, which are integrated through the curriculum for all

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

Then I was able to secure one of the keynote lectures at the Colombian Society forEngineering Education (ACOFI) which created interest to be invited to present HE in otherColombian cities and universities. To address faculty and student interest on how to build HEinitiatives in their schools, I organized a nationwide faculty development workshop and a HE-related student competition (see below).Mapping communities and assessing their needs. With the assistance of university partnerswith extension offices and meaningful contacts in vulnerable communities in Medellin, Iidentified and visited communities and associations that could potentially use the services of HE.Given the
expertise and socio-ethical responsibility. In particular, given thereticence that many students and technical teaching staff have vis-à-vis ethical content, ethicscan be considered a prejudice and ‘disempowered’ subject in the engineering curriculum [48].The experiences of engaging with ethics shared by the story-tellers make complexprofessional challenges more tangible and relatable. By engaging with diverse perspectives,engineering students can better understand the relevance of ethics for engineering and thesocietal contexts of their work. This pedagogical tool would contribute to a more holisticapproach to sociotechnical problem-solving and align with the pedagogical mission ofpreparing engineers to practice in a socially responsible manner.In

Emails and flyers distributed by the university’s disability resource office and engineering departments were used to recruit co-researchers.

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

The goal is to provide insights that will help framefuture studies of students who do not value engaging with or belonging in their engineeringprograms to the detriment of their professional formation as engineers.Literature ReviewSense of Belonging and Persistence At a fundamental level, humans have the desire to belong. The desire for interpersonalrelationships has an additive effect on that desire. Previous research on students’ academicsuccess has primarily focused on the interaction between students’ sense of belonging,motivation, self-efficacy, and perception of curriculum [1], [2]. On the college campus andwithin STEM classrooms, several characteristics are known to commonly exhibit a positiveeffect on students’ sense of belonging

Thus the work of academicadvising is rendered invisible through gender, social background, education, and other factors.This paper discusses the work of creating a data-driven white paper to highlight the value ofprofessional academic advising in an electrical and computer engineering (ECE) department in theSoutheast United States. A qualitative culture and climate study of the ECE department initiallyrevealed the complexity of the ECE undergraduate student’s needs beyond the classroom andidentified how the professional academic advisors were the primary caretakers of these concerns.Though

multidisciplinary teams as teams composed of memberswith specialized understanding, training, or experience in different disciplines who must worktogether to achieve a common goal. A multidisciplinary engineering team may be composed ofdifferent engineering disciplines alone, such as a device development team that includesmechanical, electrical, and computer engineers. A multidisciplinary engineering team may alsoinclude non-engineers, such as medical professionals, marketers, and financial managers. Thedistinction we are drawing between multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary for this paper is that“multidisciplinary” implies a team of individuals with discrete skill sets or knowledge areaswhereas “interdisciplinary” refers to programs, problems, and

lack representation forNative American students [7]. This repeatedly highlights the disparity of cultural diversity in manyuniversities, and subsequently, white-collar jobs.Another problem lies in the historically Eurocentric curriculum which ignores most minorities andtheir cultures [8]. This causes a mistrust between the historically Caucasian majority and peopleof color. In an act of self-determination, Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCU) were established,with most hosting two-year degrees [9]. The 39 TCUs primarily serve geographically isolatedpopulations, hours away from other mainstream postsecondary institutions. Despite significantprogress and a steady rise in enrollment, TCUs have funding that limits their ability to further
