This privilege is an unearnedadvantage and is based on conferred dominance 37. White privilege allows Whites to performcertain actions without their actions or intent being questionable or perceived as threatening dueto their race 37.

theories weredeveloped independently, they have been integrated to get better understanding of the “self”(Stets and Burke, 2000).Self-determination theory (SDT) derives from social psychology, and it relates to the motivationbehind people’s choices in the absence of external influences. Its roots are in comparing intrinsicand extrinsic motives and the understanding of the dominant role that intrinsic motivation playsin individual behavior. Intrinsic motivation refers to doing an activity for the inherent satisfactionor enjoyment it brings to an individual, and not because of external pressures or rewards such assatisfaction, self-esteem, competence, and pro-social behavior (Ryan & Deci, 2000). In contrast,extrinsic motivation refers to doing

Acknowledging that this assumption is faulty has led us toexplore an anchored civil engineering curriculum in which these fundamental principles aresituated (or anchored) in a specific practical engineering context. The goal of this broaderinvestigation is to demonstrate that the process of anchoring will lead to better prepared bridgeengineers and may lead to a positive shift in attitudes about careers in bridge engineering. Thiswould, in turn, help address the need for more practice-ready

The subscales associatedwith the latter set of indicators (experiences with faculty) are similar to faculty support andstudent-faculty interaction scales used in other research efforts. In contrast, the four subscalesassociated with academic challenge reflect what students actually do in their academic endeavorsby measuring time on task associated with the various skills that students use and develop duringtheir college experience [15].Studies which focus on the emotional aspects of engagement are

The traditional public high schoolsystem is not satisfying the high-tech needs demanded by the New World, thus creating a“technical competency gap” between industry and public high school education.Furthermore, the traditional path from high school to college is no longer working effectively.In order to attend college, most young men and women must work at low skilled, low wage jobstaking at

“pipelines,” “pathways,” or “ecosystems,” can be difficult to navigate because of the highlystructured, and potentially intimidating, curriculum. This can result in a net loss of students overtime, as students transfer out, the highly-structured requirements can be an insurmountablebarrier to transferring into engineering programs. Students who have more confidence in theirabilities are less likely to drop out of engineering majors and more likely to successfullycomplete their degree [44], [45]. While the tendency to drop out can and does affect all studentdemographics, it is known to disproportionately affect underrepresented minorities [46]-[48].

This paper outlines the development of a set ofinexpensive, transportable lab experiments for students in a Mechanics of Materials courseoffered via distance education.

One cannot, he explains, give novices a set oframps and balls, and then expect them to arrive at Galileo’s principles of motion on their own.This experience of integrating a video game into a DS&C class has illuminated some of thedifficulty in getting the balance right.
