]. Likewise, engineeringidentity can have a direct impact on a student’s sense of belonging and persistence of effort, withbelonging acting as a mediator. Earlier research on an individual’s sense of belonging inengineering revealed positive correlations with their psychological sense of community,technical competence, and feelings of being socially at ease [5]. Within the engineeringundergraduate classroom, the direct effects of faculty and peer interaction have been shown tosignificantly increase students’ sense of academic belonging, with peer interaction having thegreatest impact [6].Pedagogical approaches such as active and cooperative learning can also positively impactstudents’ sense of belonging in the classroom [7].

non-technical factors. Historical, political, environmental, economical, budgetary, and climatic factors are as equally important in the design of structures.2. Public scrutiny and perception of complex projects can significantly alter the initially envisioned design and may result in significant changes to accommodate conflicting viewpoints.3. The approach of researching the history of structures, then virtually building them on an advanced software platform is practical and useful in developing appreciation for the effort invested in addressing various design and planning aspects of a given project.4. SolidWorks is a powerful tool that can help create realistic models of structural parts and assemblies. Its use in

While theunivariate classification of individuals based on learning styles remains a debated topic inpedagogical communities, there is evidence to suggest that the VARK modalities may be used asan aid to deliver learning outcome specific content in multi-disciplinary contexts, such as anengineering design classroom.Overview of Research Objectives and MethodologyThe broad aim of this project was to understand the relationship between individual studentlearning style and the study habits employed and course materials

This accomplishment highlighted not only the students' technical expertise but also theirability to work collaboratively, solve problems creatively, and communicate effectively. As partof this initiative, a comprehensive survey was conducted to evaluate the educational andprofessional impacts of this experience on the participating students.The primary objective of this paper is to analyze the results of this survey, shedding light on howparticipating

Current research in this areahighlights seven specific factors which are positive influences that can be developed throughinformal learning experiences, such as clubs or enrichment activities.

; Mazzurco,2014; also see National Research Council, 1999).A small group of faculty and staff at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) hasadopted a functional rather than an essentialist definition. For them, a global engineer is someonewho practices engineering in the following way: 1. with forethought of its far-reaching consequences, both physical and social; 2. with an appreciation of international colleagues and/or in international offices; and 3. with cultural sensitivity, so that personal interactions are both pleasant and effective.People who practice this kind of engineering must have tremendous personal and intellectualflexibility.

According to an article published in 2020, a senior adjunct director at ABETdescribed that program educational objectives differ from student outcomes in four ways: a) degreeof specificity, b) role of constituents, c) purpose of assessment, and d) cycles of data collection[7]. It is considered that these objectives as being attained by graduates a few years aftergraduation.

The modular nature of the students’ design, as depicted in Figure 1,provides future students the flexibility to enhance efficiency by replacing the current dieselgenerator with a fuel cell, additional battery bank, or any power plant that provides the mostsustainable solution.

Besides the obvious issue of time differences, there are several other barriersprevalent in a global team, especially during the initial phase of it. These include communicationdifferences, cultural differences, different expertise levels, different work styles and schedules,and most importantly, trust issues. It is these barriers that commonly form the ice in a globalteam and can create a very challenging management experience. As a leader of a globalengineering team, it is not only essential to break this ice immediately after the team is formedbut even more important to lead the team in a manner such that it prevents the ice from

The working hypothesis that wasused stated the following: individuals are more creative than groups even though groups couldgenerate many more ideas by brainstorming. The primary goal of group brainstorming is togenerate a wide variety of ideas but people often refrain from acting on them. They think theirideas are too strange or unrealistic and they fear negative reactions from other group members(Diehl & Stroebe, 1987; Osborne, 1957).
