Specifically, this mixed-methods study draws uponundergraduate engineering student interview data which focuses on themes such as motivationsto pursue international experiences, impact of said experiences on their perceptions ofengineering, and the cultural relevance of engineering in general. It also explored the personallyrelevant aspects of their experience. Interviews were then analyzed to investigate global learningoutcomes from the experience as well as aspects of intercultural wonderment. Thus, this studyaims to answer following research questions: 1. How is intercultural wonderment manifested through international experiences? a. Which types

These systems provide content, grading and assessment ofstudent work, and feedback to students while solving problems. Previous research has shownthat students’ value both online and handwritten homework. Even students who disliked onlinehomework found it to be at least somewhat helpful. The current project investigates ifperformance on higher stake (e.g., more heavily weighted in overall grade) activities is betterthan on lower stake activities in a Dynamics class and a General Physics I class.

Alternatives include the hydraulic shakers, generating high forces and lowfrequencies; and the electrodynamic shakers for low amplitudes and high frequency range.Currently almost all satellite testing is done using electrodynamic shakers. These shakers includea horizontal table for lateral axes and they allow the armature body to be rotated into a horizontalposition. Horizontal

Risk can be written in the form of Equation 1.Risk = f uncertainty f knowledge f uncertainty * knowledge (1) Figure 1: Risk versus knowledge and uncertainty in designUncertainty comes in many forms: technical, financial, industrial, legal, environmental, etc.While many steps in the design process can reduce technical uncertainty levels, many non-technical sources remain. We can never effectively eliminate design uncertainty.Additionally, requirements creep describes the way that “requirements grow imperceptiblyduring the course of a project” [5].

The data set is from two semestersof a team-based, project-based introductory engineering course with a total of 118 studentresponses analyzed (N = 118).Introduction and MotivationThere are many examples in the engineering education literature of teamwork being particularlyfraught for women. Specifically, women sometimes end up completing less technical work andmore project management work [1, 2, 3]; they are sometimes spoken over in conversations [4, 5];and they are sometimes evaluated by themselves and their peers according to different standardsthan their peers who are men [6, 7, 8, 9]. All these examples led us to examine how

Positive student learning experiences are activities typicallyencouraged and measured by organizations that seek to evaluate and codify the collegelearning experience. Therefore, treating this skill set as an after-thought marginalizes thenoble concepts of both lifelong learning and information literacy.

, there was a learning curve when itcame to using these online tools, as well as technical difficulties such as connectivity issues andprinting and scanning [5].The concept of “change readiness” [1] was especially important during the emergency transition,as many faculty members were unfamiliar with online teaching. Change readiness is definedas someone’s “beliefs regarding the appropriateness of, support for, and value of a change” [1].If unprepared for a sudden change, students and faculty could face negative feelings towardsmotivation and focus, which some researchers observed to occur at their institutions during theemergency transition period [4]. Some researchers noticed that motivation was directly linked tostructure, which many students

Providing this type of support is an excellentsocietal investment because these fields benefit from diverse perspectives, including those ofpeople from low-income backgrounds (Carrigan et al. 2015, Strutz et al. 2012). Further,because a technical degree in engineering or computer science can transform thesocioeconomic status of a low-income family in just one generation, providing low-incomestudents support can

College Algebra instruction for engineering studentsIn this section, we discuss some tips to revise College Algebra instruction, especially for studentsin the engineering and technology disciplines. The aim of these revisions is to help studentsdevelop critical and mathematical thinking skills that are required in engineering and technologyfields given that the student has access to phone applications and other technology aids formathematical problems.Suggestion 1. Support students to acquire general math knowledge.There are plentiful resources that do the calculation for students. However, to be able to properlymake use of these tools for their needs, students should understand the mathematical languageand identify what they work with. An
