lived experiences. This study aims to shed light on how challengingmath coursework can impact self-efficacy and retention for students who enter engineeringprograms below a calculus level and provide research-backed suggestions for improving theexperience these students have during their college journey, thus increasing retention inengineering programs. Early findings suggest that positive faculty-student interactions, a sense ofbelonging, and the ability to feel success (instead of defeat) in early mathematics coursework arekey contributors to what improves self-efficacy for students who struggle in math-specificcourses.Keywords:self-efficacy, mathematics, engineering education, underserved populationsIntroductionThe Mindset Report published

This paperintroduces the methodology of the experiment and reports on the status of the development oflaboratories. A variety of laboratory activities have been developed, including two that have beendeveloped in sensor-based and non-sensor-based versions.The use of technology in the classroomAlthough there are many who assume that the use of classroom technology has

Indeed, insofar as engineering is a profession, knowing howto calculate stress or design a circuit is in part knowing what the profession allows, forbids, orrequires.”1In this paper we look at ethics across the curriculum and implementing engineering ethicseducation via the case methodology. A brief presentation on the history of engineering educationis followed by a discussion of ethics in engineering education. Case methodology is examinedincluding a look at sources for cases and case research. Finally, the two-stage engineering ethicseducation model used by

An aspirational goal of this program is that each engineeringstudent will have at least one study and/or research abroad experience before graduation. Furtherthere is need for adaptation of an assessment instrument to evaluate the global skills the studentsdevelop because of these international research experiences. Several instruments are beingconsidered, such as, Beliefs, Events, and Values Inventory (BEVI), Global Perspective Inventory(GPI) and Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI). 8References1. ASEE.

experience is not credible? This is often witnessed in computerprogramming. What is the best approach to teaching programming? There have been groups thatadvocate that you use a language that is designed to teach programming. Others advocate that youteach a language used by a relevant community to help the students adapt to that community. Whilethis might seem minor – consider the idea that there are computing programs in existence in theUnited States that taught COBOL and only COBOL for more than twenty-five years. Also considerthe idea that there is a body of discussion about how COBOL is the worst language to use forteaching programming.

With the knowledge gainedfrom this research, first-year engineering programs can better explore how incoming students viewdecision-making and design more effective instructional practices. BackgroundIntroductionEthics is the “standards of conduct that apply to everyone” [1]. It is the difference between rightand wrong. People use ethics to determine how to act when confronted with any situation; askingquestions such as “who will this benefit?”, “who will this harm?”, and “what are theconsequences?”. However, engineering ethics is different from everyday ethics. Engineeringethics are a set of professional ethics, or “those special morally permissible standards of conductthat

Finally, it has always been a priority of professors at Georgia Tech to introducesome applications to develop the "practical" skills of the students. The ABET 2000 Criterion 31recognizes the importance of this as a goal2.One weakness in many engineering syllabi is that most of the "practical" applications are left tothe senior Capstone Design courses. Thus, the student gains the false impression that design iswhere all of the "exciting" and "practical" work is performed. This false impression can havetwo major impacts. First, the student may not interview well in areas other than design. Inaddition, this can lead to a large pool of students designating their

In many cases, design aids are available for students to performthis task. This may include tables, charts or computer programs.A common practice among instructors is to assign a project at the end of these courses.The essential function of such a project is to integrate what the students learn in bits andpieces throughout the term into one big task at its end.
