Following this, he worked at the National Institute of Standards and Technology as a National Research Council postdoctoral fellow. He joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Delaware as an Assistant Professor in September 2008, leading a lab that researched the effects of composition and nanostructure on ionic conduction and surface exchange in ceramic materials. In 2014, he moved to Northeastern University to focus on teaching and developing curriculum in the

. The goal is to provide insights that will help framefuture studies of students who do not value engaging with or belonging in their engineeringprograms to the detriment of their professional formation as engineers.Literature ReviewSense of Belonging and Persistence At a fundamental level, humans have the desire to belong. The desire for interpersonalrelationships has an additive effect on that desire. Previous research on students’ academicsuccess has primarily focused on the interaction between students’ sense of belonging,motivation, self-efficacy, and perception of curriculum [1], [2]. On the college campus andwithin STEM classrooms, several characteristics are known to commonly exhibit a positiveeffect on students’ sense of belonging

Given the inherent characteristics of an EM and the engineering design process, thispaper starts by describing the overlap between the two and reveals how they complement oneanother; then goes into a thematic analysis of the mindsets of twenty-seven students who had justcompleted a design activity accompanied by EM interventions in a first-year engineering course.The purpose of the study is to explore how their mindsets were revealed in their writtenreflections on: the attitudes and behaviors they perceive were necessary for successfullycompleting the design activity; the specified attitudes and behaviors they feel they possess

Thisblank slate provided an opportunity for the post-secondary institutions to collaborate to create ahigh-quality, consistent, data science curriculum throughout the state.

The interdisciplinary and intercultural team is more representative ofindustrial design teams, particularly from global companies.Due to the nature and scope required to design an entire chemical process in an intensive three-week period, this course is taught as a more structured design with some room for variation andcreativity in the plant design. The entire design is broken into major tasks, e.g., mass balance,kinetics and reactor design, separation, safety, and economics. The tutors develop specific tasksand goals (daily and overall) corresponding to these major tasks that the teams must meet.Additionally, during the second week, certain teams may be asked for more advanced designs, forexample, incorporating heat integration

In this way, CPI is highly scalable,having the potential to reach a broad audience of learners by curating content from an integratedset of educational resources and thus also orienting a future generation of students towards careersin computer science and related fields.

Thus, thisrepresented the identification of the first quantitative criterion used to assess the “health” of thecourse design: the non-completion rate. A discussion amongst department faculty members wassubsequently initiated for redesigning the course with an aim to improve the non-completionrate. This discussion led us to identify a second concern, which was that the statics knowledgeand skills of students who passed the course could not meet faculty expectations in downstreamcourses within the program. We, therefore, identified a second evaluation criterion regarding thequality of the course: the mastery level of specific knowledge and skills of students passing

While no one suggests that the criteria are perfect, we have found thatthey do indeed allow flexibility to “focus on what is learned rather than what is taught,” asABET asserts in its organizational history.1 The use of current events in the engineeringeconomy course has been one of our direct attempts to encourage student learning, but wereadily admit that using current events is not a particularly novel idea. In fact, others haveintroduced more formalized methods of integrating current events throughout the engineeringeconomy course.2 The main contribution of this paper is to demonstrate how this common-senseelement of teaching engineering economy can be implemented, measured, and

The contents of the project are assessed to make a match to one offive courses: Work Design, Human Factors, Project Management, Facilities Planning andMaterial Handling, and Senior Design.
