paradigm of engineering curriculum towards a more well-roundededucation. The commonality among these three documents is improving students’ problemsolving techniques. The future will inevitably bring unanticipated crises; engineers will need toidentify the problems and collaboratively formulate innovative, feasible solutions. This researchhypothesizes that service-learning can serve as a mechanism that will allow students to developthe necessary problem solving skills. To investigate this hypothesis, an education assessmentinstrument is employed to examine whether students who have participated in service-learningprojects have stronger analytical, practical, and creative abilities than students who have onlybeen exposed to the conventional

, described the challenge of failing his first class. Even though he expected hisCalculus III course to be hard, the level of difficulty he experienced made him reconsiderwhether he should stay in engineering. He, like Parker, has to work, and often works duringbusiness hours, which makes getting help from campus tutoring “really difficult.”Parker describes difficulty as a cumulative effect. Early on in his degree program, he had to learnhow to study, balance his course load, and find internships. He accepts the difficulty as the statusquo – “it’s just how it is.” Parker reflects that as a fourth-year student, he’s “figured out how tonavigate the challenges over the years.” He reflects on feeling very challenged in his second-yearcourses coupled with

The impact of the deadlift weights on the floor made it difficult forthe Facility Department staff to conduct work in their offices, which are located directly belowthe weight room.The student team designed, fabricated, and demonstrated a fully functional prototype that“caught” the falling weight, absorbed the weight’s kinetic energy as elastic strain-energy storedin the twisting of a torsion bar that performed as a spring, and dissipated the stored energy usingcommercial shock-absorbers. The resulting fully functional prototype effectively eliminated theunacceptable noise to the Facilities’ office, to the delight of the Facilities’ Staff, and to theExercise Science Staff, who’s Weightlifting

identities. To answer these research questions, Jensen and Cross collected data using avalidated, quantitative survey that had one open-ended item. Their findings suggested thatperceptions of inclusion and engineering identity are related to student mental health.Specifically, they found that measures of inclusion such as ”Department Caring” and”Department Pride” were negatively correlated with stress, anxiety, and depression.With this research we approach the question of how these effects may be different in engineeringand computer science programs that are structured as entirely cohort-based, project-basedlearning experiences. Benefits of this style of program include improved retention of students,more engaged learning, and improved recruitment

One hypothesis is that spatial skills contribute to a student’s ability to solveunfamiliar problems. Recent studies have demonstrated that spatial skills contribute to success insolving problems from mathematics, chemical engineering, and electrical engineering [8-9].

Research also suggests thatinvolving families and communities in learning is a useful support for studentachievement, especially in early elementary grades, and studies illustrate the importancefor schools located in large urban areas to address obstacles to family and communityinvolvement to

Students usually spend three rotations learning aboutthe environment of their employers. They discover what actually working in engineering is allabout. But they also begin to understand the communication activities that will cause them tosucceed or falter in their careers. Not only must we study what it is that engineers do when they areout on co-op. We must reinforce those activities when they return to campus. This paper willinvestigate the communication needs of co-op engineers and the effect that our increased concernwith their perfection can have on the careers of the young engineer.IntroductionWhen
