ofemployment opportunities in STEM disciplines. These goals were assessed using a mixedmethods approach that included program completion analysis, focus group discussions, and preand post surveys. Student responses from focus groups suggest that the program was successfulin meeting all goals. Survey data indicated that the program effectively increased studentconfidence and awareness of on-campus resources, but that changes could be made to increasestudent sense of belonging and awareness of employment opportunities in STEM disciplines.Our observations suggest that careful selection of classes, teachers, and peer mentors contributedto high completion and increase in student confidence to perform in university-level STEMclasses

seen that this conflict could lead to the application of methods in ways that activelyworked against company interests. One example of this was seen in an application of TechnologyReadiness Levels (TRL) [19] for product development. I think the downside of it had been, it created a metric, right, for people. Everyone would write in their performance review, “Oh, I'll get from TRL whatever to whatever," and then I think that led to kind of falsely progressing things to the next level. But then also, it created a little bit of a dysfunctional motivation in that actually, in the front end, sometimes you shouldn't progress it, sometimes you should kill it. Right? You should end it and move on to the next

the research team each rated 19 to 35 teaching examples. This resulted in aminimum of eight ratings for each teaching example. These ratings often had wide disparities.For example, ten cases had ratings for novelty across the full spectrum from 1 to 4,demonstrating a lack of consensus. The write-in comments provided insights into differences inwhat raters perceived as novel, transferable, or likely to impact students’ learning. Given thedisparities in opinions, it would be useful to develop and implement a standard assessmentmethod for ethics teaching modalities to better delineate what constitutes an exemplar.IntroductionThere have been a number of calls to improve the education of engineering students on ethicsand societal impact issues

What seemed to be coming up in this interview was a daily experience of beingconstructed as incapable, in programming (for Isaac) and/or in engineering. We call this thecultural construction of ability, of being “not cut out for” the discipline. The disability at play inthis educational fact is not one that often gets labeled or spoken out loud in those terms, thoughneither is it only living inside one student’s head. The sort of ability hierarchies at play herehave a mutually acknowledged meaning and institutional consequences. By cultural constructionof ability we mean to acknowledge the many levels on

Many capstone modelsencompass both a lecture component and the applied capstone design project. While this is themost common implementation, not all capstone models include a lecture component.

Again, Harvey does not give engineers special conceptual treatment. Furthermore, thedesired feature of flexibility in engineers has been taken for granted as something that can betaught in engineering school, particularly if encouraged by corporations hiring engineers andaccrediting bodies of engineering education (Boeing 1997
