That excluded individuals whose faculty homewould have been in the college’s humanities/society/ethics or engineering education programs.Along with the Search Committee chair (Lewis), the search committee’s equity advisor andlogistics manager (Sandekian) collected and organized relevant research and materials fromcomparable searches nationwide and placed them into a shared Google Drive folder.

When coupled with the demands of rigorous academic coursework and requirements, thisperiod of development can present significant psychological challenges. Indeed, mental healthconcerns have been increasing on college campuses, as students report more symptoms of stress,depression, and anxiety [2], [3]. This is concerning given the evidence of the link betweenmental health during college and students’ academic achievement, retention, work-ethic, andsocial well-being [1], [4]. Perhaps more alarming is the fact that suicide is the second-leadingcause of death on college campuses [1], [5].Seeking help from mental health professionals is one way

The Introduction toSenior Project is a first semester 1 credit course, which covers a series of career related topicsrelated to engineering technology such as engineering codes and standards, engineering ethics,technical report writing, job search and resume writing techniques, patents and property rights,and professional engineering licensure. By the end of this course the students are expected todecide on a project topic, establish partnership with a faculty advisor for the project and submita project proposal. In the second semester, the actual Senior Project is a 3 credits course inwhich students work under advisor
study on freshman engineering students showed that students believed that to be successful onthe entrepreneurial side of design projects they had to be more creative and use problem solving[8]. In another study done at a Canadian university, engineering students were given theopportunity to take an engineering entrepreneurship course [29]. The students were given anopen-ended survey that asked questions such as why they chose to take the course and what theythink the qualities of an entrepreneur are. After taking the course, engineering students identifiedthat the attributes that are most defining of engineering entrepreneurship are creative/innovative,good work ethic, self-motivated, organized, strong people skills, desire to succeed

student teams were analyzed: final project reports and the mitigation plan assignment. Thereports contained technical and non-technical aspects of the projects. The technical aspect of thereports included the design process, testing procedures, and results of the project. The non-technical aspect of the report consisted of team roles, socio-ethical implications of the project,and an explicit documentation of how the project was affected by COVID-19. The teams werealso asked to submit a COVID-19 mitigation plan assignment in the beginning of Spring quarter,which detailed how the project and team structure would change during the quarter and whetherthe teams needed help accessing resources as they transitioned to a remote setting.Project report and

Student GPA was included in each regression model because it was presumed to be asignificant predictor of performance on graded events. We saw that GPA is significant in eachmodel and has the largest effect size in each model. GPA is a complex variable, because itcaptures the effects of student motivation, work ethic, discipline, and study habits and is at leastpartially confounded with the effects of quiz timing and quiz performance on motivation.Additionally, the interaction of quiz timing and quiz percentage was not significant in any models

influencing other people, so they conscientiously performnecessary work to a mutually agreed schedule” (Trevelyan, 2007). This finding grounded most of Trevelyan’sfuture work, which focused on the importance of social interactions within engineering practice (Trevelyan,2009, 2010b). Beyond the overarching themes of the practice of engineering, research has also focused on thecompetencies required for an engineer. In a 2007 study, Passow and Passow conducted a literature review inwhich they evaluated 52 studies that described various engineering competencies (Passow & Passow, 2017).Through their analysis, the team synthesized the findings into 16 competencies that included: communication,ethics, design, management, and more.
