It willinclude such things as: making the initial contact, evaluating the proposed site, developing abudget, generating support, documenting the responsibilities of each institution, planning for thetrip, emergency contingency plans, orientation meetings with the students, language difficulties,academic credit, recruiting, technical projects, and final evaluation.The paper will conclude by reviewing two different exchange programs, one in Europe, which iswell established and has been operating for many years

Introductory Structural Engineering CourseAbstractA new introductory structural engineering course has been developed at The University of Wis-consin-Platteville (UW-Platteville). The course follows Mechanics of Materials in the structurescurriculum, where a traditional curriculum would typically provide a structural analysis course.While this course introduces methods of structural analysis, it does so in the context of structuralmaterials (steel, reinforced concrete, masonry and timber) and design so as to remove the unnatu-ral distinction between analysis and design.In addition to the innovative design of the course, the grading of the course is also of note.Grades are not determined based on a typical “points” system. Instead, an outcomes-based

Retention Rates & Computing Demographics It is well documented that developing a sense of belonging is essential for student re-tention in STEM fields [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]. Recent work highlights how students from underrepre-sented groups, in general, have less of a sense of belonging than white men in the same field [9].And perhaps more salient, recent work documented how even after 10 years of focusing on inclu-sivity 62% of computer science students at the University of Illinois, a large R1 school, felt thatthey were not “real” computer scientists [1].1.2.

Building Engineering and Science Talent(BEST)1 report, the U.S. is not developing an appropriate scientific and technical workforce forthe future and calls for greater efforts to increase the representation of women and minorities.This shortage isn’t limited to the United States. Hersh2, in longitudinal research conducted at130 institutions in 55 countries on the changing position of women engineers worldwide, foundthat while conditions for women in engineering are improving, “there are still so few womenengineers as to make them seem unusual or even abnormal” (p. 357). Attracting qualified womeninto engineering programs is only the beginning; it is also essential to retain the women in thepipeline through completion and successful entry into the

In this report, we analyze the impact of leadership-mentorship on learning and professional formation. We argue that the degree towhich a leader-mentor is consistently active in the laboratory’s life presentsadvantages and disadvantages with respect to different aspects of learning andprofessional formation. On one hand, professional development of students maybe hindered by the absence of direct oversight from an in-laboratory professionalmentor, resulting in delayed graduation for example. On another, absence ofdirect oversight can compel students to

, the frequency of plagiarism in engineeringeducation continues to increase [2], perhaps because most students believe they have a right toplagiarize if they perceive their assigned workload to be unreasonable [3], or due to the rapidproliferation of contract cheating [4].Source code plagiarism, while a narrow subset of plagiarism in general, is particularly well-suitedfor accurate automatic detection. Source code plagiarism detection or similarity analysis tools,which will be known as “similarity engines” for the remainder of this paper, are an integralcomponent of the assessment pipeline for assignments involving student source codesubmissions.

high schools in different areas, the background ofstudents is also very different. It would be ideal to offer this course in the junior year when thestudents already learned mechanics and design. However, due to the difficulty of the curriculumscheduling of mechanical engineering at ONU, this course has to be offered in the first year. Acomprehensive term-long project was therefore developed, which combines material testing,simple design knowledge for engineering applications, and material selection for the design.Project based learning (PBL) as an instructional tool has been widely used in the engineeringcurriculum.1, 2, 3 In this methodology, a question or problem is used to drive the students learningactivities to produce a product that can

is judgmental. A child-development professor recently expressed the spirit of such self-esteem with rare clarity: "As soon as you get into some of the more complicated things, kids may experience failure. They may feel like they're stupid." This spirit is as rampant in higher education as it is in elementary and secondary schools. At col- leges, self-esteem often goes hand in hand with multiculturalism or sensitivity to people of diverse races and ethnicities -- meaning that professors must avoid of- fending the identities (still another name for self-esteem) of victimized groups.
