To compensate for a lack of an item describing“associational thinking” in the original Dyer scale, two additional statements were developed todescribe this construct.Finally, to convert the modified behavioral statements from an agree-disagree scale into a self-efficacy measure, the scale instructions were adjusted to reflect a self-efficacy intent (“Pleasethink about how confident you are in your ability to do these activities”). A comparison of theoriginal Dyer et al. IBS behavioral items and the restated ISE.5 self-efficacy items is shown inAppendix A.4.0 MethodsThe validity and reliability of the ISE.5 measure was confirmed through three studies.

such as CATIA. Most classes in all three majors, especiallyupper division classes, included laboratories, so students gained familiarity with much of theequipment through exposure in multiple classes.The model for the three engineering technology programs was effective. Over most of the yearsof the programs’ existence until the late 2000s they each graduated 10-20 students per year. In thelate 2000s interest in the degrees began to increase, starting with the PET program and then fol-lowing with the MET program and to a lesser degree the EET program. In the period from 2009to 2015, the average graduating class sizes were approximately 17 for EET, 25 for MET, and 31for PET. That EET was the smallest program was a reflection of the additional

Beyond the university realm, students participating in aerospace courses andactivities have had good success in transitioning directly into an aerospace job, whether in spacesystems or in aeronautics.

of the ecosystem: howchanges in the natural world specifically affect our species [61]. More recent theorists, however,are exploring the concept of “deep ecology,” that is, “nature as a whole has moral value” [62, p.97], irrespective of interplay with the human population. Viewing the natural world as having anintrinsic worth is, indeed, one of the major challenges facing environmental philosophers [63].Ocean gyres, particularly the GPGP, are a topic ripe for ethical reflection in engineering classesfor a number of reasons. First, it involves public safety, which engineers in all fields pledge touphold as professionals in their respective areas. Second, it involves establishing and maintaininga sustainable environment, which engineering

terms of performance, we did not find a significant effect of the quiz mode on studentscores, when the quiz was administered in class. The only exception was when the quiz wastaken at home (b), in which case the mean score (Mquiz=7.41/8) was significantly higher thanall other modes (F=23.78, p<0.001). Although the quiz was open-notes, open-book in everycase, we believe there is an apparent effect of stress when the quiz is taken in a classroomenvironment that immediately affects student performance. However, we do not claim thatthe higher score reflects greater learning gains and more investigation is needed for a safeconclusion.

Companies hired based on these degrees. “We need to hire 4 electricalengineers, 6 mechanical engineers and 5 industrial engineers.” Departments were created tomanage these areas of engineering specialization – grouping engineers of similar training – andthe organization pyramid began to form.

In an effort to generate abaseline for how we can operationalize intuition in the context of engineering education, thepurpose of our current research was to synthesize characterizations and portrayals of intuitivereasoning. We focused on literature from the field of management because intuition isconsidered in the context of complex, strategic decisions, which are reflective of the designdecisions central to engineering. The specific research questions addressed in this study are 1)how does extant management literature characterize intuition?, and 2) how does extantmanagement literature
