A previous researcher, Yasar, used an iterativemethod in his development of a survey to assess K-12 teachers’ perceptions of engineers andfamiliarity with teaching design, engineering, and technology.2 However, Yasar’s participantswere all pre-college level students and professionals. This process consisted of a literature searchto find items for the survey and multiple field tests and revisions to come to the final surveyinstrument. In this work, we adapted Yasar’s method and directly surveyed undergraduateengineering students.2In order to inform universities about which experiences work best for ASE, we developed asurvey in order to extract information from

Additionally, we aimed to ease the path for transfer students,especially transfer students from our state’s community colleges. However, the research on thepotential for improving graduation rates is mixed. For example, [4] in a study across 731universities found that when a university switches from quarters to semesters, first year gradesare lower, average time to graduation increases, and students are more likely to be enrolled inbelow a full course load.

The razor-sharp emphasis on technical education at the cost of developing human-centeredengineers and the insistence that engineering is a value-neutral practice leads to what is known asthe socio-technical divide. The danger of this divide is that it reinforces deeply embeddedcultural

Seventeen engineering faculty have also been interviewed by researchers[14]. While many students embrace active learning and report positive learning experiences [15-17], the evidence-based results have also revealed a few reasons for their resistance. One of themajor concerns was lack of motivation. In other words, some students would not see the value inthe new learning techniques.
