In addition, the orientation sessions have only been offered a handful of times whichis another contributing factor to limited data. The intent at this stage in the project was to use thesurvey results to gather some high level feedback from student participants to help determinestudent impressions of the event and, more specifically, what aspects of the orientation resonatedwith the students the most.It would be worthwhile to conduct a more expansive long-term study to follow-up with thesestudents to investigate the overall impact of the orientation session on their first-year experience.In addition, it would be informative to survey students who did not

This hindsight led to the development of a questionnaire that could be used in thefuture.1.IntroductionWhetton [1] rightly states that most important professing of a professor, involves histhoughtful choice of reading materials, assignments, activities and most of all learningobjectives. This is even more pronounced when the instructor has to choose few experimentsand a project from a wide variety of mechanical engineering applications. The choice has tobe further developed to meet the learning outcomes called the student outcomes defined byABET [2]. Outcomes are descriptions of the end product of
discusses this in thecontext of how she plans to marry an engineer, so she can “stay with the kids until they go toschool” and then “work part-time until they get out of school.” For Maggie engineering allows aperson, in this case her imagined husband, to earn enough money to allow her, projected as anequally qualified professional engineer, to stay at home with children or work part-time. Theengineering-as-lifestyle perspective is differently shaded here, when compared to the unalloyedversions from Max and Jake, but our interpretation is that it is the same basic belief about theleading value of engineering—that it provides for a high salary and a comfortable lifestyle.
