By the time theyreach middle school, students have already begun to develop dispositions toward mathematics,science, and engineering.2-4 By ninth grade, these dispositions are solidified and it becomes moredifficult to change the students’ feelings toward STEM careers.2 In this period of earlyadolescence, students either begin to develop strong academic habits or they begin to struggleacademically.3 “Middle grade[s] students are drawn toward mathematics if they find bothchallenge and support in their mathematics

avery brief measure, a 5-item innovation self-efficacy (ISE.5) scale was developed using the 19-item Dyer et al. Innovative Behavior Scale (IBS) as a starting point, adapted for undergraduateengineering students, and then condensed using confirmatory factor analysis.The ISE.5 measures innovation self-efficacy as a unitary construct drawn from Dyer et al.’s fiveinnovative behavior components (Questioning, Observing, Experimenting, Networking Ideas andAssociational Thinking) and has good internal and external validity as well as good test-retestreliability. The ISE.5 (as a measure of innovation self-efficacy) is shown to be an importantmediator between innovation interests and a desire to pursue innovative work as a career post-graduation. This

such anintegration of ethics into engineering education.Background and MotivationThe rules of professional practice in engineering until the early 1900’s were conditionedby the fact that engineers looked on themselves as loyal to a firm or a larger entity such asthe military or public works that employed them. Historically, engineering as a field –rather than a “profession” --and then as an academic discipline, originated from theseroots in the late 1740’s with the establishment of the first “civil” (as opposed to“military”) engineering department in France in the École Polytechnique in 1794 [1], [2].The American Society of Civil Engineers was founded in 1852 and is the oldestengineering society in the United States.

The transform reframes the equation as analgebraic equation in a new variable s by which the solution is easily obtained; in fact, for acompletely relaxed system (no initial conditions), the transform almost appears to amount to aninnocent change of variables. The new world of frequency is not trivial; in fact, the concept of "frequency response" is a difficulty when teaching circuits and controls.

measurement of engineering identity was accomplished using an adapted version of Godwinet al.’s (2016) measure of identity. Godwin et al. concludes that an engineering student’sengineering identity is a function of four attitudes relating to interest, performance, recognitionand agency. Interest is the student’s innate attraction to the subject material surroundingengineering, such as math, science and physics. Performance is an academic self-efficacyconstruct measuring how much a student believes in their ability to positively perform inacademically in engineering coursework. Recognition is how a student believes they arerecognized as an engineer, particularly by meaningful others such as parents or professors.Finally, agency or as Godwin et al

pressure on teachers to include engineering as part of their curricula. Learning toteach engineering involves a different way of approaching curricula than what many teachers areused to. As Brophy et al. [5] points out: when a teacher approaches teaching engineering design and what engineers do, the ‘answer in the book’ system breaks down. [S/He] has no list of correct answers (i.e. a design solution) because ill-structured and open-ended problems are designed to have multiple ‘correct’ answers. Teachers must become comfortable and proficient with the engineering process and learn to quickly recognize where learners are in the process…Many teachers lack the content knowledge and experience to make such an
