Fogler’s textbooks are still the most popular. Over 80% of courses cover topics throughsteady-state reactors in depth. Over 60% of courses also cover unsteady non-isothermal reactorsand reaction hazards but with less depth. Over half of the courses responded that more than 50%of the homework assignments use a computer, which is a substantial increase from the survey in2010.

Research Assistants. American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 How well can Makerspaces build an Entrepreneurial Mindset?1. IntroductionIn this paper, we explore if makerspaces can contribute to student development of anentrepreneurial mindset. Makerspaces take prior implementations of hands-on engineering, suchas machine and wood shops, and push a step further to have complete digital tools available toassist with the common goal of creating a final product or solving problems. Often integratedthrough coursework, students usually have access to tools and a maker community both in andout of the classroom. They also allows students to unleash creative potential and

Other scholars have also found that allowing students to grapple with high cognitive demandtasks (i.e., tasks for which there is not one correct solution) supports the development ofstudents’ conceptual understanding [2], [3]. Moreover, in the digital age, when so manyengineering tools and data sources are widely available online, faculty can take advantage ofthese resources to design authentic, high cognitive demand tasks for their students [4] - [6]. Thisstudy builds on prior work to assess engineering students’ conceptual understanding andtechnical skills before and after completing modules designed around authentic, high cognitivedemand tasks.Given the challenges posed by traditional methods of instruction

Thereupon, this work proposes four virtues as more essential to the E/Cprofessional: Prudence, disinterestedness, truthfulness, and justice.IntroductionVirtue focuses on the morally good, or as Julia Annas describes it, “A virtue is a lasting featureof a person, a tendency for the person to be a certain way.” [1] This matters significantly inengineering and computing. For example, the virtue of prudence is shown by theengineering/computing (E/C) professional who

Researchers used Braun & Clarke’s thematic analysis to identify emergent themesrelated to engineering students’ mental health help-seeking beliefs. Six major themes wereidentified: 1) An unsupportive engineering training environment creates stress, 2) Difficult workand time constraints create stress, 3) Supportive input from others promotes help-seeking, 4) Iftime is limited, mental health is a lower priority, 5) Students operate on a suck it up mentalityunless they’ve reached a breaking point and 6) Help-seeking

We took adecidedly academic approach to this process; taking advantage of relevant literature in highereducation and curriculum studies, and applying qualitative methodology to our process.The idea of striving for coherence is a key goal in this work. Coherence has been defined byTatto [1, p. 176] as “shared understandings among faculty and in the manner in whichopportunities to learn have been arranged to achieve a common goal.” Hammerness [2] drewupon this definition and defined conceptual and structural coherence, while acknowledging thatthe borders between these constructs often become indistinct.

A Bachelor’s degree was a means of academicintegration and status [3], facilitated by conventional lecture where an expert addresses thestudents using authoritative lecture style [4]. In this paradigm, students benefit from the student-mentor relationship having prepared for the interaction with intensive study. This has beenshown to be less beneficial to non-traditional students [5]. Non-traditional students come frompopulations such as community college transfer students or people who work temporary jobs thatare unrelated to their course of study [6]–[8].
