Engineering is a complex degree program because many studentshave to start preparing for this degree while in high school by building up their mathematics andscience knowledge. For engineering students to start an engineering degree program, they startwith calculus, and are considered behind schedule starting with a lower level mathematicscourse. Although high school students may start planning for an engineering degree programduring their freshman to senior years, many students do not know what the different disciplinesof engineering are and what they do. In Changing the Conversation 1, they show that many highschool students do not have a realistic comprehension of the practice of engineering

. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017Work In Progress: The Design of a First-Year Engineering Programming CourseAbstractThis work in progress study concerns the design and implementation of a first-year programming coursefor engineering students at a large public university in the Mid-Atlantic United States. Mid-AtlanticUniversity (MAU) accepts approximately 800 first-year engineering students annually, and has anenrollment of approximately 1200 students in its fall and spring Introductory Programming Class (IPC),taught in MATLAB. The IPC is currently under redesign through the process of Backward Design[1].The research around this redesign attempts to answer the following question: How can theimplementation of non-traditional

in engineering forunderprepared students, this goal is intricately connected with the goal of increasing retention forunderrepresented students. Of all students who matriculated with an engineering interest at theThayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College over a 4-year period, 27% are minoritystudents. A significant proportion (39%) of these students were underprepared in mathematics(defined by the level of introductory mathematics course in which they placed), compared toonly 21% of non-minority students. As we will show below, engineering dropout rates aresignificantly higher for students who are underprepared in mathematics, and we indeed see theeffects of being underprepared for our underrepresented student groups in Table 1

By having the professor be the main character in the classroom and students act asempty vessels waiting to be filled with information, students often lose interest in the matteraltogether and oftentimes withdraw from the course or fail.Due to the previously exposed deficiencies, this study aims to improve students’ learningexperience with the objective to develop basic abilities any professional engineer must have.These abilities include: (1) ability to understand the problem (take, mold, analyze), (2

In order to teach the entrepreneurial mindset, customersmust be integrated, in some way, into the class. However, the way in which customers areintegrated into projects varies widely in literature. There are three main approaches which havebeen identified as viable ways of incorporating customers into a project: 1) creating a fictionalsetting with fictional stakeholders5,6, 2) incorporating a real-world setting, but without directinteraction with real clients (ex. designing something for a third world population)7,8, 3)designing a product for a real client9-11.

Nationally,less than 50% of the students who enrolled in engineering curriculum complete the program [1].At Colorado State University, we typically lose 40% of our electrical and computer engineeringstudents during the first two years of their undergraduate engineering program [2]. The causes for the declining attrition trend can be attributed to many factors from socialsupport systems available to students, to low self-efficacy due to poor academic performance, tolack of perceived value and career opportunities relative to the amount of effort required to gothrough the program, to the rigid ECE curriculum structure and the lecture-style learningenvironment that discourage active and inquiry-based learning [1,3,4,5

Students from programs ofdifferent sizes and disciplines across the country are often not considered, thus hindering theability to generalize quantitative results and observe the true variability of the doctoralengineering student population.We seek to collect survey data from a minimum of 5,000 engineering doctoral students fromacross the country to examine their identity and motivation profiles within the context ofprevious academic and research experiences in STEM fields.

Personas help to communicate thegoals, values, needs, and actions of targeted users and to develop empathy and interest for usersduring early stage design. Scenarios are narrative descriptions (i.e., “stories”) of “typical andsignificant” user activities that help designers define specific product features that reflect a userfocus [2].

This meansthat the classical teaching culture is perpetuated because there is not sufficient training in properteaching practices for engineering educators. Though Svedberg was specifically discussingengineering educators at universities, the same conclusions apply to those at community collegesand engineering trainers in industry.Professional development for educators is not new, even for engineering educators.
