Students were enrolled in juniorlevel Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer course, the only fluid mechanics course that chemicalengineering students in the

In the second study, Reid et al., [4] focus on the course content in first yearengineering programs and found that objectives of engineering courses can be grouped into majorcategories (e.g., engineering skills, professional skills, orientation to the program from theviewpoint of the university, orientation to the engineering profession). These studies are criticalefforts that begin to tease out the differences in first-year engineering programs and courses, butthey do not provide insight into the direct experiential impact on students.This Work in Progress paper will give an overview of our interview procedures, recruitmentmethods, and selected participant.

expected [10] for most situations. Rationalistic responseswere even found to questions that were supposed to elicit emotive responses. For example, afterbeing asked “In arriving at your decision, did you take into consideration the feelings orperspectives of anyone else? If so, how did this affect your decision making?”, Subject 155responded: “I took into consideration the kids who I guess ... who, who are LGBTQ+ or who have people in their lives who are close to them who are...then I looked at the perspective or I guess the, the benefits and downfalls of the class as a whole…”The emotive response was observed less often (39 out of 132 coded phrases or 30%), usually inone of two ways; first, subjects would project their own
perceptionsof doing engineering work, regardless of occupational title. We also believe that a sequentialregression model will show that engineering belief measures predict a significant proportion ofvariance in perceptions of having jobs “related to” engineering, over and above SCCT variables.AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to thank the Purdue University Davidson School of Engineering, whosePipeline Center funded this project.

Each class is scheduled to deliverthe lecture first after which the students are allowed to complete their assigned homework andask questions as needed. The students learn the principles of orthographic projections and applythe principles to multiple view drawings by hand during the first four weeks of a fourteen-weeksemester. A 3D computer aided parametric modeling tool, CATIA, is then introduced after handdrawing, followed by auxiliary and section views

We call the academic controlobjective the "Operator."This paper focuses on the agent system by building a simple dashboard tool that will collect students'information about their progress through the curriculum in a program and will generate advisingrecommendations. The agent logic employs principles used in project management tools designed tohelp the students complete their degree plan sooner. For example, it would provide a visualizationmap of course sequences, customized for each student, making advising adjustments that willoptimize the time to obtain the degree under a constrained set of resources.

; Besterfield-Sacre [14] employed model-eliciting activities as assessments ofundergraduate engineering students’ problem-solving capabilities. Despite these studies, it isstill difficult for educators to implement authentic summative assessments for first-year studentsin design classrooms. Thus, many educators employ more authentic tasks for formativeassessments and projects, but not for summative assessment.While assessing students’ engineering design process, first year engineering students are alsodeveloping the affective and regulatory competencies required for engineering success, such asself-efficacy in design, in math, and in engineering overall. Self-efficacy is skill-specificconfidence in one’s ability to succeed in spite of difficulty [15

This wood is 78 years old and it was madeof cedar and had an application of at least two to three layers of previous stain and paint on itssurface. Samples were cut using a table saw in rectangles approximating 7.5x14.1 centimeter.Four samples were needed for each brand’s five application methods: a, b, c, and d. Sample ‘a’was used at the control for each set, not placed into the QUV. Scraping and sanding wasperformed to remove the previous paint layers. After this process, sample labels were solderedinto the back of each sample in order to be able to differentiate them
