(two courses) and student motivation across multiple years.Motivation is a foundational aspect of a students’ academic development. Students who areintrinsically motivated naturally lean toward academic achievement [4]. This means that studentswill seek their short or long-term educational goals, depending on each student’s definition ofacademic achievement. Students can also be motivated extrinsically through the use of rewardsor praise [5]. Either way, understanding motivation can be useful to students and instructorsalike. There is little work comparing which types of FYE courses and instruction modes are themost motivating to their students [6-8]. Many engineering programs have implemented the FYEprogram in different ways. One way to

, our paper aims to offernew insights and recommendations for educators and institutions seeking to cultivate well-rounded engineers equipped with both technical expertise and a nuanced understanding of thehumanities.BackgroundEngineering education traditionally emphasizes the development of strong problem-solvingskills. This focus is reflected in the 2004 US National Academy of Engineering report, “TheEngineer of 2020: Visions of Engineering in the New Century,” which links engineering withtechnology and the identity of engineers as technical problem solvers [8]. This requires engineersto break down large complex problems into smaller, more manageable parts [9]. By breakingdown complex problems into manageable parts, engineers can identify the

Thistranscript can be used to justify transfer credit even in engineering [38], although not all collegesrecognize these transcripts and give credit for the experiences of student veterans. Potentially,work can be done to better align the JST entries with jargon recognized at major engineeringcolleges, but educating the engineering education community about these transcripts and what iscontained in them may help connect student veteran experiences with academic credit,addressing academic recognition concerns.Tied within much of

Can existing surveys of writing concepts, attitudes, and self-efficacies predict students’ risk for attrition?MotivationThough doctoral engineering education is understudied as a whole, attrition in graduateengineering education is particularly unexplored. Recent reports by the Council of GraduateSchools reported that in engineering, the 10-year completion rate for doctoral programs fordomestic students was only 59% [1]. Attrition is problematic for several reasons. First, since manydomestic students are funded by federal grants (through NSF, for example) and through domesticindustry, each domestic student that leaves academia prematurely represents a lost investment.Second, graduate students are

The course introduces the engineering design process,teamwork, and many design/build/test projects. These topics all cater toward problem solvingand creativity. In the junior year, the students are doing plenty of “real-world” engineering anddesign in their coursework which also promotes creativity and teamwork. Unfortunately, there isa gap in learning experiences that promote creativity, teamwork and engineering design duringthe sophomore year when students are busy taking general humanities, mathematics, science,computer applications

The multi-faceted nature of this development,and the differing abilities of faculty and students from different backgrounds, means that thelimited empirical work on ethics education within engineering has not determine the “best”practices for integrating ethics into engineering [12], and likely, will not be able to do so.Evaluation and assessment of the ethics interventions are also challenge a challenge.

However, in atypical civil or mechanical undergraduate engineering curriculum, students are not exposed tobasic stress analysis and force-deformation concepts until the second semester of the sophomoreyear. In addition, experimental techniques and finite element modeling are mostly covered in thejunior and senior years. Interestingly, the fundamental concepts central to much of this coursework are understood much earlier in the students’ education.
