The students were then assigned to choose two campus activities to attend before the second midterm and complete four reflection questions. The presentations only highlighted engineering related student groups, but students were allowed to go to any campus activity for the assignment.The initial data sets collected for the pilot study included tutoring attendance from theengineering tutoring room, grade distributions on the first midterm, student enrollment lists fromENGR 101 (fall semester only) and ENGR 102 (spring semester only), and

The “goal is todiminish the need of the advisor to use the advising session as a means of primarily presentinginformation to students. Instead, the focus of the session shifts to helping students make meaningof their academic and career planning” (Steele, 2016).Initially, we decided not to use our university’s LMS and opted for Microsoft SharePoint to hostflipped advising assignments. Students were not familiar with SharePoint and there was confusionon how to access and upload documents to our site.

Abstract The National Academy of Engineering report Educating the Engineer of 2020 calls forsystem-wide efforts to align our nation’s engineering curriculum and engineering profession withthe needs of today’s global, knowledge-driven economy with the goal of increasing studentinterest in engineering careers. As more industries benefit from the economic advantages of aglobal R&D capability, U.S. engineering teams need to prepare for collaboration across countriesand the blurring of national boundaries. Future engineers need to be trained not only in basicengineering skills, but also in managing global research teams. Realizing the importance oftraining U.S. students to work successfully in global R&D research environments, we
