While the most frequent studentresponses to the four questions were skill in math, dedication, focus, and study groupsrespectively, the five emerging factors associated with greater student success were: (1)Participation in effective program components that provide practical engineering experience --project or problem-based courses, research experience, and industry internships; (2) A burningdesire to become an engineer and reap its economic benefits; (3) Taking advantage of allresources provided; (4) Combining motivation and dedication with effective time management;and (5) Involvement in MEP programs.

 Abstract: Undergraduate (UG) research is an important component of today’s engineeringeducation. Research experiences allow students to explore beyond the classroom by applyingconcepts towards scientific discovery and the development of products and technologies thatimpact society. The number of UG engineering students interested in participating in research isincreasing. However, UG research opportunities are often limited to students finding a project,laboratory, and mentor on their own. Therefore, only a handful of students typically benefit froma mentored UG research experience. In addition, students seeking UG research opportunities andprojects have little, if any, knowledge on how to conduct research. A well-structured, guided

Providing a basic set of engineeringskills in specific specialty areas of study is no longer sufficient. Engineers design solutions formarketplace problems. As such it is imperative that they approach the marketplace in search ofopportunities for which they can design break-through solutions. This is the mindset of theentrepreneur.

Social constructionismemphasizes how or in what ways a particular social group gives meaning to and jointlyconstructs a phenomenon26-28. In this case, the social group is engineering students at a largepublic university in the U.S. and the phenomenon is empathy. Meaning arises from that group’sinteraction with the social world, which comprises human participants, artifacts, and otherenvironmental factors. In engineering education (the primary shared context of this social group),such a world can comprise a course setting, co- and extracurricular projects and activities,interactions with peers (i.e., fellow students), or any
