negative emotional responses such a denial or avoidance. Problem-focused attempts touse purposeful efforts to manage a stressful situation. For example, Olivia’s describes: This is what they think engineering looks like: white men for the most part. And I am not that, at all. I feel like I had to prove myself, even when no one was telling me, "Olivia, you don't belong here.". In my mind it is like I have to show you that this is where I belong.Olivia’s emotional response to this identity related experience was to prove herself. While this isan example of a problem-focused coping mechanism she could have decided to cope in a varietyof ways.Olivia and Joshua both expressed indicators of imposter syndrome through only their

In terms of leadership roles for4IR, they should be responsible in empowering their team members for decision making processand information sharing through open-mind that would help boost their confidence and develophigh interpersonal skills in the team [36]. From an engineering education perspective, Jeganathanet al.

In addition, Perez-Perez et al. [32]developed a trainingtool which would help develop interpersonal skills as part of teamwork

identities. As such, generalizationsshould not be made as to why Asian students are more likely to endorse the NEP than their otherpeers. Future work should disaggregate racial/ethnic demographics further particularly for Asianstudents and to include Middle Eastern students. A final limitation to using the NEP Scale is thatalthough it is the most widely used measure of environmental worldview, recent studies havesuggested that the scale be further explored to more adequately capture the diversity of modernenvironmentalism [27]. With these limitations in mind, there is still much to glean from the implications of thisstudy for engineering research and practice. The data here indicates that the views of almost halfof White engineering students

in mind that an upgrading orsetting of a power engineering laboratory is an expensive enterprise and requires adequatelaboratory facility. Those universities which have not completely abandoned power engineeringlaboratories are not always capable of implementing new and modern experiments or acquiringnew equipment at an acceptable cost or having appropriate laboratory space14-22. Recent powerindustry developments demonstrate that technical understanding of power systems, underscoredby hands-on laboratory experience, is even more important than some might have previouslythought. The development of a power engineering laboratory requires reinforcement of variousaspects of energy conversion concepts, smart control, or power electronics aspects

Education, 2018IntroductionIn 2013, the College of Engineering at the University of Michigan launched the CommonReading Experience (Edington, Holmes Jr., & Reinke, 2015). This program was developed forincoming first-year engineering students with three goals in mind: 1. Students build and develop a sense of community (including a sense of belonging and engineering student identity) 2. Students broaden their thinking about the skills (both technical and non-technical) that they need to be a successful engineer in the 21st century 3. Model intellectual engagementThroughout the history of the Common Reading Experience (CRE), program evaluations havebeen compiled annually. However, to determine if the program was meeting its

, many of the students would have been taught relatively little of theCalculus material covered in Math 231. As students in Math 231 are learning much ofthe material for the first time, they may approach the PLTL groups in a more open-minded fashion, and may be more receptive to the learning tools and additional work thatthey are gaining in the groups. Whereas, if students in Math 116 believe that they alreadyknow much of the material, they may be less interested in devoting effort to incorporatingPLTL group activities into their studies and achieve less benefit from the groups. Asmentioned previously, facilitators in Math 105 PLTL groups have frequently encounteredthis attitude. Engineering freshmen in Math 105 often believe that they fully
