Work-In-Progress: Recruitment of Pre-engineering Students via an Advanced Manufacturing Curriculum PathwayABSTRACT:Students that have been involved in the Advanced Manufacturing Initiative (AMI)through a Department of Energy Grant have supported the overall pathway into the Pre-Engineering Educational Consortium (PEEC) program. Using engineering relatedactivities presented in the Advanced Manufacturing Summer Institute and the AdvancedManufacturing Course AMI-101 “3D modeling for advanced manufacturing” offered atCankdeska Cikana Community College and Turtle Mountain Community College andavailable to other TCU’s via Telecom, AMI has increased the interest in Engineeringand has resulted

Work-In-Progress: What is engineering? First-year students’ preconceptions about their chosen professionIntroductionInherently, one can assume that students enroll in engineering programs to become engineers(though they might not end up as one). However, they don’t become an engineer overnight.There is an entire process by which this “becoming” enfolds, requiring more than just theacquisition of technical knowledge and key skills. The process includes the development ofprofessional identity, which is the understanding of the profession and its associated roles andresponsibilities on a continual basis [1]. One outcome of the first-year experience is for studentsto develop an engineering identity, which has

. 2019 FYEE Conference : Penn State University , Pennsylvania Jul 28 Work in Progress: The effectiveness of writing interventions on first- year engineering reports.How do engineers learn to write like engineers? The answer to this question lies, in part, in theconcept of transfer, which is the ability to apply knowledge to a new set of circumstances [1].Students at colleges and universities who pursue degrees in engineering disciplines enroll invarious course requirements, including first-year composition. The first-year compositionsequence is intended to teach all students the writing skills that are necessary for theirdisciplines. Yet, this transfer from the discipline of composition does not always
are generally mindful to consider the unique challenges faced by students fromunderrepresented groups and how students’ backgrounds and identities affect their academicexperiences. However, because the majority of our students are straight, white, cisgender males,advisors may be less aware of how their backgrounds and identities affect their academicexperiences. Although unintentional, treating white male engineering students as our “standard”students and students from underrepresented groups as our “special” students further normalizesthe white male standard in engineering education. This complex subject should be explored from a variety of perspectives. However, withthe goal of improving advising practices this GIFTS paper will focus
