In addition to developing a solidfoundation in engineering principles, the degree program also provides the undergraduatestudent with a background in the arts, humanities, and social sciences. The program offers a“hands-on” curriculum that is consistent with the department’s philosophy that “the studentmust learn by doing it, not just reading about it.”Although the pursuit of an Industrial Engineering degree at the University of Louisville is achallenging task, recruitment of African American students to the discipline of industrialengineering is also a challenge for the department as well as the university at large.

Results indicatedthat the task-specific self-concept scores of self-efficacy, motivation, and outcome expectancydid not change significantly as students progressed through the engineering curriculum, althoughthe level of anxiety was less for the seniors than the sophomores. It was also found that the task-specific self-concept scores were not accurate predictors of the design ideation abilities of thestudents.IntroductionSelf-efficacy is defined as an individual’s belief in his or her own capabilities to performactivities in order to successfully achieve a specific outcome.

However, the Outcomes A&E loop is the key element, because itinstitutionalizes the process for holding individual courses, their sequencing and their “verticalintegration” through the curriculum accountable to achieving the program educational objectives(through the Outcomes). Briefly stated, achievement of Program educational objectives isevaluated in terms of achievement of the supporting Outcomes, which involves the degree towhich students meet specified Outcomes performance criteria. Outcomes achievement occursthrough accumulation and integration of achievement of individual course learning objectives.Stated bottom

. Hence theneed to teach design through projects.It is important that students realise that they are aiming at the definition of an end product.Many undergraduate design projects end up as paper studies. This is inevitable, owing to theconstraints on time and finance within the curriculum. Unfortunately, paper studies do notprovide students with the feedback on how well their designs work, or whether they willwork at all. Therefore, at Huddersfield, a conscious effort is made to include some projectsof a design-fabrication-test nature so that students do have direct feedback on the success, orotherwise, of their designs. One such project, used in the first year of the course, was thedesign of a compressed air engine (2).Design is open-ended and

Subsequentinstitutions largely imitated this engineering curriculum, although alternative models such as themore democratic, hands-on polytechnical also developed. At many schools the engineeringcoursework was simply an add-on to B.A. requirements, “grafted” in Reynolds’ language, withvarying degrees of interconnection.The origins of American engineering education can thus be understood as (1) motivated by therapid transcontinental expansion of transportation networks that relied on exploitative laborpractices and seizure of indigenous land; and (2) imbued to varying degrees with nationalist,military values.

fosters an inclusive, supportive educational environment designed toretain diverse talent in mechanical engineering.Introduction:Retention and recruitment remain pivotal challenges within engineering education, particularly inmechanical engineering, which often experiences lower retention rates than other engineeringdisciplines. The demanding curriculum requires mastery of core subjects, especiallymathematics, chemistry, and physics, within the first year, and early academic success in thesesubjects is strongly correlated with long-term retention and degree completion [1], [2].Misplacement into inappropriate courses can impede student progress, undermining bothacademic outcomes and persistence.Mechanical engineering programs typically rely on
