that faculty need immersive training in cultural responsiveness, and that suchtraining is the lowest hanging fruit [3]. Furthermore, Mack and colleagues clearly document thebreadth and depth of the cultural disconnect between engineering faculty and their students,explaining that this problem cannot be fixed with a checklist, and instead call for the cultivationof mindfulness among faculty [4].One reason that attempts to change faculty behaviors fail may be how independently facultyoperate in the classroom. Any attempt to shift teaching practices cannot rely on top-downmandates, but instead needs top-down support with bottom-up encouragement from colleagues,accompanied by a shift in the overall culture of a college of engineering.

Some practical examples from the past are:adjusting the placement and content of hands-on lab exercises to relate more closely to materialcurrent in students’ minds; identifying material not clearly conveyed in lecture; intervening withstudents who are having academic problems; and, uncovering misconceptions about course,College, or University polices. Clearly, if evaluations and comments were collected only at theend of the course, most, if not all, of these kinds of issues would either not come up or would Page 7.162.3 Proceedings of the 2002 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference

, calculations and data. Survey resultsindicate positive outcomes in students’ awareness of the profession, skills required of anengineer, different disciplines, ethics, use of computer tools, core technical skills, and what realengineering problem look like. It is hoped that giving students a holistic view of engineering intheir first year, while helping them acquire the “habits of mind” [3] of professional practitioners,will provide them with a foundation for approaching the remaining curriculum with motivationand increased capacity to connect course material with their life experiences and aspirations.References[1] B.

It does matter that the drawings should present the designers’personality and immediate response of solving the problem. Mechanically created images tend toproject a sense of sterility, of surreal environments devoid of the messiness of real-life experience,absent all evidence of human spirit or soul and passion (Sorenson, 2007).

WPI has found that as the number of FIRSTalumni grows, such association forms naturally and forms the basis for student efforts in thecompetition.An important fact for universities to bear in mind is that FIRST includes thousands of highschool students predisposed to science and engineering.

. Forexample, faculty members are told to set goals, but they should also be told how to goabout choosing correct goals. This paper describes a process for setting specific careergoals and building a hierarchy of objectives to complete them. This makes long termgoals easier to handle by dividing them into smaller manageable goals (month-to-month). Since faculty members are only human, state of mind effects productivity. Lowmorale often leads to low productivity which in turn leads to time inefficiency. Burn-outand low morale are factors that can be accounted for with good goal setting. Forexample, instead of setting a goal in number of dollars of grant/contract money, set a goalwhich the faculty member has control over like number of proposals

to apply, manystudents still viewed their mathematics classes favorably for the mental training they provided,which these students perceived as preparation for the logical, structured nature of engineering.As Ben (Year 2) said, “It's not necessarily to learn the math, like the material. It’s more to, like,train your mind to think a certain way.” Despite doubting that all topics seen in theirmathematics courses would be relevant to their future careers, a few students essentially equatedengineering and mathematics. As Connor (Year 3) put it, “You can’t do engineering withoutmath.… Engineering is math. It’s just math with meaning behind the numbers…. It’s a way ofgiving an explanation of how things work in the world.”Students who had no

In the robotics example, the problem seemed more straight forwardthan when her cousins were fighting. Adina’s acknowledgement that there are “always two sidesof the stories” brings to mind the different stakeholders in engineering design problems [4], [23].Connecting to the work that we were doing in the community engineering program, Adina wasthen asked about how she would describe the data-driven community engineering program: “Cooperative…instead of us just saying, ‘one person choose where they want to work at or work with,’ we all came together and was like, ‘you know what, instead of doing… instead of
