Paper ID #18261Exploring School-to-work Transitions through Reflective JournalingMr. Ben David Lutz, Virginia Tech Ben Lutz is a PhD student in the Department of Engineering Education at Virginia Tech. His research in- terests include innovative pedagogies in engineering design, exploring student experiences within design settings, school-to-work transitions for new engineers, and efforts for inclusion and diversity within en- gineering. His current work explores how students describe their own learning in engineering design and how that learning supports transfer of learning from school into professional practice as well

Interviews are influenced by ethnographic methods and followed six structured questions designed to fit into a twenty-minute interview format [30]. Questions covered what students like best about the ISBL modules, suggestions for improvement, navigation experience, impact on learning, recommendations for future users, and an “Anything else to add” question. Interview notes were taken and analyzed using qualitative data analysis techniques from Grounded Theory to produce a set of themes across student experiences [31].Student

For instance, you can say something like “I want to make sure I get your pronouns right” or “I want to be sure that I introduce you correctly.” • You can use a combination of these techniques to ask for someone’s pronouns. Some people may be confused and you may need to explain to them the importance of asking for pronouns.The above information was adapted from “A Few Pronoun Best [Preferred?] Practices,” located athttp://itspronouncedmetrosexual.com/2018/04/pronoun-best-preferred-practices/Gender Neutral PronounsA gender neutral is a pronoun that doesn’t associate a gender with the individual

The topic-based design was selected, as shown inthe figure.The lesson learned from the web page design is that not all the team members need to understandthe details of web design software and that there are design options that can confuse the processand take time. It is best to have an experienced designer that narrows the options and takes alead in making decisions. The web page design integrated lab and lecture materials, visual aids,previous exams, and other relevant information. It was a one-stop shopping design conceptwhere students could find any information relevant to the topic, from a single page devoted tothat topic.Assessment Tools for Students

Rowan engineering students a tendency toexhibit relatively low scores—that is, in the “avoid” or low “use as needed” range—in precisionand confluence, and relatively high scores—“use first” or high “use as needed” range—insequence.Our hypothesis is that this particular combination of avoidances and preferences leads to barriersthat specifically impact performance of student teams in the upper-level design courses, such asthe Junior/Senior Clinics [21]. In these courses, students work independently in teams onsemester-long and sometimes multi-year projects. Many of the projects involve external funding,real clients and sponsors, and actual product development. For example, student teams under thesupervision of chemical engineering faculty have

The best demonstration of learning from thesecases would be to see if the students gained enough wisdom to apply what they had learned totheir own design projects. For example, as part of the fourth-year course, students have topropose an undergraduate thesis topic and carry it to completion. We are trying to give them theDesignTex and Rohner Textil cases before their project proposals, to see if it influences theirchoice of topic and approach, and the Dow Corning cases later, to see if it influences how theythink about the impact of their project on society.
