morequantitatively-focused studies. Due to the complexities of these interacting factors, it is unlikelythat an engineering graduate student experiences stress from only one source (i.e. only grades,only their department’s culture, etc.) [19]. These complexities—and students’ perception of theirimpact on mental health—can be best captured using a qualitatively-focused study.The more frequently-studied coping mechanisms used by students and graduate students are alsosome of the more easily-defined: therapy and counseling [20], meditation and mindfulness [21],and substance use such as drugs and alcohol [22], [23]. However, with a purely quantitativeapproach, the ways in which these mechanisms are used, their relative effectiveness, and thenuances of why these

Wehope to extend this research to beyond just the sole context of automotive engineering.Discussion and ImplicationsThe down-selecting from students’ interests in automotive engineering from the start of theircollege experience to graduation is a curious phenomenon. It might be that there are discoveriesof ancillary interests, work for OEM or parts manufacturers within the same applied plan. Itmight be that the paucity of automotive engineering companies geographically stifle possibleprofessional development for students as future engineers.How might we further expose students to a multiplicity of possible future careers and industries?There may very be additional interventions or mindful efforts to bring automotive engineeringcompanies

visuals in engineering education classrooms - an observation anticipated severaldecades ago by Felder and Silverman (1988). With this in mind, a comic was developed to introduce incomingfreshmen to the mechanical engineering curriculum to relieve confusion about the complex class structure, with afocus on clear, approachable ideas narrated inclusively with diversity in mind. The idea was that the typical mechanicalengineering curriculum has several disciplinary themes such as thermal-fluid sciences, solid mechanics, design – andeach theme could have an illustrated representation to explain about the different areas. The incoming freshmen toseniors could be surveyed about these representations. In the future, similar illustrations may also be used

The data from the specific interview question analyzed for this paperdoes not explicitly ask about macroethics or social justice. However, since it was the 10thquestion in the semi-structured interview protocol, with some of the first nine addressing thesetopics, it is reasonable to assume that macroethics and social justice might be on the minds of theinterviewees when responding.The specific research question that we seek to answer in this paper is:RQ: What, if any, gaps exist between the engineering curricula (at their university or morebroadly) and the engineering profession in which the students at their university are likely to beemployed?The

Introductory BMET courseI. AbstractThis mixed-methods research study follows the progress of an incoming cohort of biomedicalengineering technology (BMET) students as they engage in a re-designed introductory courseand navigate problem-based learning (PBL) activities with a career focus. Taken collectively,our findings affirm previous studies of PBL as an effective strategy for fostering engineeringhabits of mind; and they further underscore how PBL can serve as a vehicle for enhancingonboarding and persistence through career-oriented degrees in engineering, with particularsalience for transitioning returning or non-traditional students to the workforceII.

forinstructors to evaluate student design processes10 and monitor student comprehension of andreceptivity to specific course topics, along with general feedback about the course.With enhanced student learning in mind, we have introduced semester-long learning journalassignments into undergraduate mechanical engineering design courses. The instructor guidesthe journaling activity by providing reflection questions to aid in topic selection, along withexemplary samples and a grading rubric to establish expectations. In turn, the students arerequired to write short weekly journal entries of 200-500 words that culminate in a 1000-2000word final entry at the end of the semester. In this paper, we provide an overview of the learningjournal initiative and a

Furthermore, giving students practice with exploring and capturing complexphenomena is becoming ever more important in a world of increasing collaboration andincreasingly complex phenomena. All instruction molds more than just what knowledge we holdin our minds. Integrative pluralism might be a framework to help us attend to that “more”productively and consciously.References[1] S.

the lens through which we analyzed identity in thecourse detailed.BackgroundSeeing is thinking. We live in a very visual-centric society. Visual thinking is not housed only inthe ‘artist’s mind’ but in the engineer’s as well [7]. When we see, imagine, and draw things, weare thinking visually. These three types of visual thinking cannot exist in silos, for with increasedflexibility, they interact, which denotes an expert designer [7]. Expert engineers almost alwayssketch in their work, even with the adoption of computer software [8]. A study on expertengineers shows that sketching on paper is used by 90% of interviewed German engineers beforeand during their CAD work [8]. Engineering design is highly dependent on collaborations amongteams for
genre-specific features among other genres, too.Focus group responses noted both similarities and differences among writing assignments inFYC and engineering laboratory courses. Students agreed that writing assignments in bothcourses included writing for an audience with a purpose in mind, employing rhetorical appeals(logos, pathos, and ethos), and using evidence as support. Many of the distinctions that studentsnoted emphasized differences in how these elements were employed. For example, studentsnoted the difference between using thesis statements in research papers and using hypotheses inlab reports to define the genre’s purpose. They also observed that there is little pathos in labreports, and that lab reports tend to emphasize logos and
