In fact, at fourteeninstitutions where multiple chemical engineering faculty indicated the settings where theybelieved undergraduate students in their program learned about ESI, there were only twoinstitutions where there was complete agreement on the course types where ESI educationoccurred. Thus, individuals may have differing levels of knowledge on how students in theirprograms are educated on ESI. This may reflect a lack of coordination within programs onteaching ESI.

Wemade a number of initial conclusions, including that students were acutely aware of the novelnature of the course, and forgiving of issues surrounding them. Also, the themes of the courseoutlined in the learning objectives and outcomes were reflected in student responses, and theywere aware of the importance of the new FYE program in the context of a larger college mission.Methodology The current mode of analysis is a thematic one, consistent with methods of thematicanalysis (Braun & Clarke

While the discussion is concerned with the current practices in theelectrical engineering department at Cal Poly, the literature suggests they also reflect thepractices of other similar programs.Within the context of program accreditation by The Accreditation Board for Engineering andTechnology (ABET), alumni contribute in two important ways:  By serving on Industrial Advisory Boards (IAB);  By responding to alumni surveys;While AIB

Entering the 2015-2016 academic year,program faculty envisioned a capstone design experience that would engage student teams in ayear-long, professional level design project sponsored by an industry client. The first two yearsof the capstone design program have been inarguably successful, and in this paper we identifyand reflect on the keys to our success. The intention for writing this paper is to ensure thesuccess of the program is repeatable, and to assist other programs, especially those residing insmall liberal arts universities, in starting or revising their own senior design experience.Our key factors in assembling a successful industry-sponsored capstone design program havebeen: (1) faculty buy-in and involvement, (2) engaged industry

Understanding the decision-making process bywhich engineering students determine whether to pursue undergraduate work experiences, orcooperative education (co-op) programs, is critical in identifying how students envision, develop,and form their professional engineering selves.

Learners are engaged by scientifically oriented questions.2. Learners give priority to evidence, which allows them to develop and evaluate explanations that address scientifically oriented questions.3. Learners formulate explanations from evidence to address scientifically oriented questions.4. Learners evaluate their explanations in light of alternative explanations, particularly those reflecting scientific understanding.5.

Engineering Education, 2019 Critical Thinking Skills in First Year Non-Calculus Ready StudentsIntroductionCritical thinking is defined as self-reflective thinking[1]. Critical thinking requires the use ofcertain skills and disposition to evaluate thoughts and ideas with the purpose of refining them [2,3]. Critical thinking involves an in depth evaluation of events, problems, ideas, and artifactsbefore accepting or framing a conclusion or opinion [4]. Engineers are trained to becomeproblem solvers and critical thinking is essential for problem solving. Many educators believethat critical thinking skills are important and should be promoted in schools and universities, butthey feel unequipped to teach those skills[5, 6].The purpose of this

In engineering, critical thinking skills are traditionally developed through problem-basedlearning and reflective practices [2-4].As engineering education stands today, there is a significant gap that needs to be filled in theeducation of students who enter university with weak math skills. These students are at a seriousdisadvantage due to the fact that they are not exposed to engineering concepts early in theireducation, especially students that are non-calculus ready. These students tend to migrate out ofengineering at a higher rate in comparison with calculus ready students or leave college withoutfinishing a degree. Most institutional

motivational goals for learning with respect to course favoritism are reflective of a statedependence rather than a trait the students hold with respect to the way they approach learning.Thus, motivational goals of engineering students are likely to shift, some substantially, based ontheir affinity for a course. The implications for our findings are such that if students favor acourse they are more likely to engage in learning at the mastery level and seek deeperunderstanding and develop more complex knowledge of subjects based on intrinsic factors. Incontrast, if students disfavor a course they are likely to be driven by external factors, like grades,or simply passing and getting through, and are much less likely to develop and retain deep
