Over these two typologies, participants demonstrated thegreatest degree of intersection focusing their drawings on the hobbies that best inform theirindividual identities as well as the symbols that represent the institutions, disciplines, andmetacognitive reflections. While most of these depictions did not explicitly connect toengineering, much of the discipline-specific symbolic drawings were images of mathematicalsymbols and computers. These particular symbols may be related to the educational componentsthat inform students’ major and career choices. Without longitudinal evidence, however, makinginferences about student interest

Tilburydeveloped web-based MATLAB learning materials in the domain of automatic controls; thelearning materials were coupled with MATLAB homework [15]. Tilbury found that studentbehavior while working on MATLAB homework included frequent quick references to thelearning material.Researchers have also analyzed student learning and usage of small auto-graded coding exercisesin introductory programming courses that are not based on MATLAB[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Edgcomb found that students completed 25% of assigned exerciseswhen no points were
research can have a variety of models asillustrated by [18]. Despite the normal perception of one-on-one (faculty/student) mentoringprogram, student’s perception of how they are best supported appears to include a multi-mentoring approach, with a network of people who take interest in the student’s success [18]. Inaddition to understanding what students perceive as supportive mentoring, whether one-on-oneor the multi-person, successful mentoring must be detailed to include five components:communication, psychosocial support, career/professional development, science integrity, andresearch development [19]. However, in order to achieve such outcomes during a summerSURE program, then an interdisciplinary/multi mentor approach would seem most
to thestudents; keeping the number of students limited meant that the instructor could provide one-on-one help to each student beyond what would be available in a lecture or flipped class.Students were given a brief description (included as an appendix here). Ten students wereselected to fill out two teams of five students. The students included eight men and two women,nine sophomores and one junior, with intended careers of Aerospace Engineering (2), AppliedMathematics (1), Computer Engineering (1), Mechanical Engineering (4), and NuclearEngineering (2).

the criticalconsequences of a decision, when students did not see the situation relevant to their career orsituation, they tended to fall for fallacies and/ or to rationalize the situation. The finding from my research suggests that an interaction of individual’s characteristicsand characteristics of moral issues affect the decisions of individuals. This further supports theoverall argument of the ethical decision model provided by Trevino (1986). According toTrevino’s (1986) model, individual and situational variables interact with the cognitivecomponent to determine how an individual is likely to behave facing an ethical dilemma. Another finding is that although there is a lot of emphasis on ethical theories andframeworks in
