But what ofthe companies that actually hire our graduates? What do they feel about "globalization" and what Page 15.77.11value do their recruiters place on students who have been

A similar reflective assignment will be givento the seniors prior to facilitating their first recitation section based on that described in Neubertet al. (2013). As the recitation sessions occur throughout the semester, a class period on thistraining will be less beneficial. Instead, the instructors will also provide senior students with a‘tip sheet’ about best practices in running the recitation, focusing on how to engage and supportthe students in the recitation.Survey Design: The survey instrument employed to measure student outcomes (engineeringidentity) was developed by Dr. Allison Godwin (2016).

anticipation of the actualdevelopment of new programs for either undergraduate or graduate students, a pilot course inrenewable energies was conducted during the summer of 2021. The course was offered forjunior/senior undergraduate students and had a broad presentation of renewable energies,theories, and practices associated with each. For this pilot course, a series of invited speakerlectures were offered. Experts in the field covered technical aspects of solar, wind, andbioenergy, as well as business, legislative and geopolitical aspects. Students taking the courseparticipated in an end-of-semester survey about their perception of renewable energies, theassociated industries, and their interest in pursuing jobs related to them.
