The program has been deemed highly beneficial forinternational students due to the fact that it enhances the network for individuals to discover newemployment opportunities. After graduation, program graduates can potentially benefit fromthese relationships by obtaining a highly desired employment position or by receiving anoutstanding recommendation from various industry CEO’s who have a first-hand demonstrationof the student’s real-world experience and professional demeanor.Introduction Middle Tennessee State University’s Human Exploration

climate was a large factor in women’sdecision to either leave or never enter the profession after graduating from college. Previousresearch indicates that women that persist in engineering have developed a strong sense ofengineering identity and have developed skills to navigate the workplace environment. AtVillanova University, the number of women graduating with a Bachelor of Science in CivilEngineering has been 33% over the past three years and the percentage of women faculty isnearly 50%, which are both above the national average. This paper explores whether the womengraduates of this department persist in the profession at higher percentages than what has beenfound nationally and if their persistence in the profession is comparable to the

less than 10% of them declare engineering as a major [29]. Wehave begun a line of inquiry into the ways in which students who have already matriculated intoengineering construct smartness [11, 22, 30, 31]. We have also explored the beliefs thatuniversity faculty hold about the nature of intelligence [32]. However, it is with this contributionthat we look at the construction of smartness by high school science and engineering students.Other influential work on the construction of smartness in K-12 education, such as work by Hatt[3] draws on empirical evidence from much younger students (e.g., kindergarten). By studyingthe beliefs of high school students directly, we begin to build an understanding that can lead todisrupting such beliefs that

This reflection in their responses show that students know gamified learningisn't like playing a game as they would outside of the classroom, but rather it is used as anothertool to further their education in a modern way. From the responses of these engineeringstudents, it is evident that the need for an overhaul in the typical engineering education learningenvironment is very much needed. While students are eager to accomplish new feats in theireducational career, it is difficult for them to achieve those feats due to the competitiveness that isfostered, whether directly or indirectly, and lack of encouragement to explore outside of

Thus, thediscussion typically touches on the importance of “appearances”, and on strategies that can beused to mitigate conflicts, or potential conflicts, of interests, beginning usually with the“sunshine” strategy – i.e. bringing the conflict or potential conflict to the attention of thecompany (placing it in the “sunshine”) so that further mitigation efforts can be taken.
