RQ4: What additional resources or policy changes do student-parents believe would help them succeedin their engineering studies? By understanding the interplay between challenges and support systems, we hope to identifyactionable strategies to improve student-parents’ academic and personal outcomes. The findings willcontribute to the broader conversation about student resources for different populations in education andhelp engineering programs create environments where student-parents can thrive.Literature Review Among the most prevalent concerns in recent

Fulton Schools of Engineering admit new freshmen directly intotheir engineering programs. In this way students immediately begin engaging with faculty intheir discipline, and coursework is enriched with discipline-specific content. Although thisapproach obviously works well for students who are confident in their choice of major, it hindersstudents who need more exploration of engineering options. To support this need for careerexploration there is

In this paper, we reveal the collaboration patternsamong engineering education researchers based on bibliographic data analysis. We select 7,732NSF awards related to engineering education from EHR-DGE, EHR-DRL, EHR-DUE, andENG-EEC. We then develop a keyphrase extraction algorithm to determine the main researchtopics of an award and utilize a name disambiguation system to precisely identify co-authorship.Our findings show that EER awardees collaborate more than researchers in the generaldisciplines of engineering and education. Also, average number of awardees per award is highlycorrelated with the number of
