In order to solve today’s engineering challenges,we need a diverse workforce with strong technical and leadership skills. Unfortunately,workforce studies have shown that the number of students being educated in STEM (science,technology, engineering, and math) cannot meet projected demands.1 In addition

Oneexample program is the Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) program created byPurdue University [5, 6].

Students also cameto their projects with unique motivations. Anne and Cassie wanted to help people. Ellen andRalph were interested in developing new products and technology that aligned with personalinterests. Don and Brian strived for personal success. Leslie and Zachery wanted to contributestrong engineering work.These individual differences were evident in a number of variations on the key themes. Cassie, inher desire to help people and commitment to her senior design team, persisted through lack

The stark differences in the engineering fields are important to study.Case Study AnalysisIn this section we provide an overview of each of the students who left the program without adegree and then compare and contrast them to students who were able to complete a master’sdegree. We use pseudonyms and have avoided use of too much identifying information toprotect the confidentiality of the students. All five students who left without degrees had beenenrolled in the electrical engineering program.Three women attempted the engineering technology (ET) to electrical engineering (EE)transition and one man had made this transition early in the program

In terms of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors,studies have also found that first-generation students are 6% less likely to complete a degree inthese fields compared to their continuing-generation peers [2]. Research focusing on theengagement of first-generation college students in engineering is a topic that has not been widelyexplored up to this point. Because of the present battles that first-generation students face, moreresearch on their engagement is essential to aid them in achieving their educational goals.This work-in-progress (WIP) research utilizes the National Survey of Student Engagement(NSSE) as the main data collection instrument [3].

To assess senior design coursesacross engineering disciplines, Larry J. McKenzie pointed to Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) outcomes [6]. The outcomes with sufficient specificityenable straightforward assessment. With this framework, the course can be revised toaccommodate the rise in enrollment [7] and the preparation of students for the course can beimplemented [8], [9].Depending on the available spatial and manpower resources, universities implement either one-semester or two-semester format for their senior design.

conceptualization of leadership within the engineering community and student designcourses specifically may be in need of updating to a shared leadership paradigm. In this modernage of increased technology and rapid industrial pace, the shared leadership paradigm’sdevelopment takes into account that it is nearly impossible for one person to have the knowledge,skills, and abilities for all aspects of highly intellectual work6 or necessary to make well-informedleadership decisions independently. This concept of knowledge distribution across multiplepeople is an accurate description of a situated learning environment. Similarly, Wageman andGardner 31 call for a re-examination of team leadership in light of the new landscape of moderncollaboration. In their
