course involves between 6 to 10in-class presentations by professionals that are successful in Technical Sales. These professionals are synchronized with thecourse syllabus, such that they are able to reinforce the specific material being taught around the time they are speaking. Inthe Technical Sales 2 course, students are required to individually be assigned to a specific company which they present tothe class (every two weeks), and attempt to improve, that company's sales organization to the other students in the class.Therefore, the final project for students in the Technical Sales 2 course is to design an improved process for part of that salesorganization's function.Another element of the structure of both courses is the addition of inter
high school, others argued that taking (and earning high grades in) such classes asscience, physics, social sciences, chemistry, and calculus are significant in predicting retention inengineering programs [3]. Other studies have focuses on the characteristics of the studentsthemselves, citing student’s persistence and self-efficacy, defined as “people’s judgment of theircapabilities to organize and execute courses of action required to attain designated types ofperformances” as significant [9]. Students with high self-efficacy were only found amonggroups of students who had pre-engineering classes and engineering hobbies versus students whodid not have these experiences. Not surprisingly then, students most likely to complete

One 75-minute class period per week was allocated for project work during the project duration. This made it easier for both IVE and non-IVE teams to coordinate their schedules. At the beginning of each of these sessions, the instructors led a brief overview of a stage of the Design Thinking process to give the students more direction and focus on one stage of the process each week leading to their final solution. Following the instructor led session on Design Thinking, the teams worked in breakout rooms and the faculty mentors provided
model is that increasing the level ofimmersion in professional scenarios will impact levels of student engagement and behavior. Totest this assumption, in the Spring semester of the 2022-23 academic year we initiated a pilotstudy of a full-immersion in a Tech Startup project. This project integrated curricular credit forcoursework whose core competencies aligned with the tasks of forming a technology startupcompany. Several courses from Ohio University’s Entrepreneurship Certificate Program and theMechanical Engineering Capstone Design (semester 1) and Experimental Design courses wererestructured to allow students to have a full schedule of classes immersed in real project work.

The teamswere formed by the instructor using the criteria that each member of a team was enrolled inanother course with one or more of the other team members. In some cases, all team membersshared a course together outside of ENCP 101. The primary intent was to help students developstudy groups outside of class and promote student success in general, as opposed to someconsideration specific to this study.Course DescriptionENCP 101 is a 3-credit course and is the first required engineering course in the undergraduatemechanical engineering curriculum at the University of South Carolina, a large public universitythat has earned the Carnegie

For the United States to maintain its innovation edge and ensure it canattract high technology jobs, educators must make sure engineering graduates are both highlytechnical and have the professional skills needed to compete in a modern global economy andglobal workforce.Other universities across the country have also recognized the importance of developing andassessing the professional skills modern graduates’ need to be successful. For example, Beard,Schwieger, and Surendran, from Southeast Missouri State University, discuss the use of exitexams, exit interviews, class projects, portfolios, and surveys to develop and assess not onlystudents’ technical skills, but also their professional skills [2].

By onlyincluding courses taught by instructors who chose to opt-in, our study population may reflect aselection bias, which may limit the generalizability of the results. Related to this limitation, onepotential future avenue for this work is to investigate the motivations that cause instructors toeither opt-in or opt-out from this information literacy intervention. There are several possibledrivers of this behavior, some of which may stem from the limited amount of in-class timeavailable for this one-credit course. Instructors who opt-in may have previously worked with anengineering librarian in another setting, and as a

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 The Influence of Program Concentrations on Enrollment and PlacementAbstractIn many schools, students are able to tailor their undergraduate engineering coursework toemphasize a particular specialty field. When organized by the university, such an emphasiswithin the context of a major is often called an academic “concentration.” Universities with asmaller array of majors in specialty engineering disciplines can employ concentrations to fosterstudent success in a given field and attract students who are already interested in

In any basic conversation one may begin to link the design concepts (designtriad) and iron triangle.This exploratory research project introduces a class implementation of a future-oriented redesignproject in a design for manufacturing (DFM) course. The ideas of the triple constraint and designtriad are used to review how junior level engineering students design and think about futureproducts. Research was geared toward the outcomes students produced using basic design formanufacture concepts and how they thought about future products based in a coupling of designand business ideas. The artifacts allowed for a dive into how engineering students conceive thefuture
