We anticipate that articulating the competency models of professionaland technical competence developed in this learning ecology will provide a deeper understandingof what newly hired engineers learn and how they learn as they develop into their careers.References[1] R.

reviewed. Review of Nodes 3 and 1 is marginal in thesense that a review is determined by the context of the current node and its assessment. Forexample, node 8 is not directly related to node 3, but is indirectly related through node 6 and nodirect review is needed. Node 1, like nodes 5 and 7, is on the edge of this knowledge domainand no assessment can be made beyond this node(s). As additional knowledge domains becomeavailable, they can be interconnected through appropriate links.

Bob expressed fear and ambiguitytogether by describing his experience as “I think generally overall speaking ambiguity would belike being in the unknown. Kind of like almost fear of the unknown then like, yeah, you're notsure what you need to do or what is going to be happening.” Jon discussed how taking the wrongpath for ambiguous problem increases his anxiety, “if something is too ambiguous…I know I getalmost like anxiety if it's ambiguous and I'll never really get going or never know if I'm going inthe right direction.” Jon’s anxiety also became evident when he discussed ambiguity in theworkplace versus academia, stating that he “believe[s

incoming first-year students are placed in. However, engineering students are oftenunderprepared in several pre-calculus topics. To assist these underprepared students, a significantpercentage of first-year students at our midsize STEM University are placed into remedial pre-calculus courses. At our institution, the percentage of first-year students placed into pre-calculusis about 35%, averaged over the past five years. This distribution has only slightly improved overthe years despite a significant increase in the average student profile in terms of SAT/ACTscores and high school GPA. Furthermore, a large number of students placed into calculus fail orwithdraw from it, automatically leading to additional semester(s). An explanation for this can

been a cornerstone component of scientific achievement since the mid-1950’s (Burnham, 1990). Despite its tremendous post-war boom to become the de facto standardfor scientific and technical publications and the largely similar goal of providing feedback toimprove quality, peer review is still only moderately used as a pedagogical tool within the highereducation classroom. The single greatest hindrance toward utilizing peer review in the classroomis getting students to accept that it is a viable source for feedback and assessment. Ballantyne etal. (2002) undertook a study of 1,654 first- and second-year students spanning three semestersstudying four different courses. Despite continual efforts based on feedback from students andfaculty to

Ten participantswere enrolled in Instructor A’s section; 28 were enrolled in Instructor B’s section. All werejuniors or seniors majoring in engineering or related disciplines. Nine identified as women and29 as men. Four participants were from non-U. S. countries and had spent most or all of theirpre-collegiate years outside the U. S. Twenty-nine students were members of a registered studentorganization and/or a social fraternity or sorority; 10 of those students had been officers in one ormore organizations. Four participants had

], [14], [18], [19].Need for a STEM Observation ProtocolIn addition to the challenge of defining STEM education, there have been challenges in assessingintegrated STEM instruction in K-12 classrooms. Given the rapid development of both K-12engineering and integrated STEM, it is critical that researchers have access to valid and reliableinstruments to determine the efficacy of different teaching and curricular approaches related toboth teacher effectiveness and student learning. The lack of a protocol designed specifically forsuch teaching will lead to reliance on the use of teacher self-report data or the use of protocolsthat measure “just good” teaching without consideration of the nature of the discipline(s) beingtaught.

as shown in Figure 1below. This guided instructional effort for subsequent labs and in-class sessions in the course.At the end of the quarter, mastery of these standards within this course will be shared withCapstone instructors to inform their coaching as these are skills fundamental to the Capstonedesign process.Assessment of Incoming Related SkillsUntil mastery-based grading has been implemented throughout the sequence, quizzes based onthe relevant LO of the previous course(s) will be administered to tailor instruction in the absenceof SBG data from the previous courses. A statistics concept quiz has been administered withconcepts relevant to the experimental design course. Results show overall mastery in selection ofappropriate
perspectives and cross-cultural skills such as the InterculturalDevelopment Inventory (IDI) [8], Miville Guzman Universality Diversity Scale (MGUD-S) [9],and the Engineering Global Preparedness Index (EGPI) [10]. The global perspectives ofengineering students in this study was measured via the Global Perspective Inventory (GPI) [11].This instrument was used because it closely aligns with global perspective constructs the studyaims to measure. The GPI is also a validated instrument and widely used for a basis forcomparison against non-engineers. Additionally, a number of studies have used the GPI toexamine the impact of study abroad experiences with consistent results and strong statisticalreliability and validity [11, 12, 13].
