It is critical that we understand how all students, and 3especially those from underrepresented groups, come to negotiate the cultural norms within thesemaker communities [7] and the impact that it has on their identity development as engineers.IdentityIdentity is a process of understanding one’s self within the larger sociocultural context [8-9].According to Erikson, identity helps individuals make sense of and find their place in the world.In the 1980’s, McAdams extended Erikson’s work on identity, arguing that as an individual tellsand retells their story and how they fit into the world, they are developing their identity.

the academic option that is kind of get really into my research lab, get publications in, go down the PhD track and having to deal with that like, going and teaching and kind of build my own research lab or to be one of the four P.I.'s of a research lab. Another option is after, on a graduate level, probably I join a small business just because I know that's more my working style. Working on something interesting that I can contribute to. Probably start somewhere and move somewhere else just knowing how industry kind of works a little bit. You're not usually set in stone at one place but as I go through and figure out who I work really well with and then branch off, kind

gain an enhanced visual appreciation of how trusses behave.In the 2018/19 academic year, 166 first-year engineering students at the University ofSaskatchewan volunteered for a pilot study that examined the efficacy of TrussVR©. The studywas approved by the U of S Behavioural Research Ethics Board. Volunteers completed a “pre-survey” that examined knowledge, skills, and attitudes regarding trusses, before trusses had beentaught in the classroom. Participants were then randomly assigned to one of three groups: no lab,regular lab, and TrussVR© lab. All participants then attended 2 weeks of in-class lectures ontrusses, frames, and machines, as they normally would. During this time, the “no lab” group didnot complete an experimental lab on trusses

havebeen missed or dismissed.Survey responses were compiled and processed electronically. Most of the questions hadparticipants choose from a list of responses, and could thus be digitally tallied and graphed withrelative ease. The qualitative section at the end presented more of a challenge, however, and thedata from that are still being processed. Many questions throughout the survey allowed space forcomments, particularly if "Other" was an option. We read through these comments, and ifenough respondents wrote in a similar answer, tallied the remark and presented it with thecorresponding quantitative data.The questions/results presented in this paper are primarily those discussed in Todd et al.'s "ASurvey of Capstone Engineering Courses in North

U.S. corporations, like those of other countries, have also been quick tosee value in investing in China’s manufacturing base and pursuing opportunities in its domesticmarket.9A further corrective to the alarmist view was recently published in a well researched report byGereffi and Wadha at Duke University, “Typical articles have stated that in 2004 the United States graduated roughly 70,000 undergraduate engineers, while China graduated 600,000 and India 350,000.

E-Learning, supported by the fast development ofcomputer technology as well as by the processing of the Internet in the 1990`s, manages a verygood acceptance in different educational areas at all universities across the globe. E-Learningalso provides new possibilities for personalized learning in the workplace, in the classroom or athome. E-learning can be defined as instructional content or learning experiences aiming to learnand increase visitors’ knowledge and skills in order to be more productive which gives a boost totheir

statistically significant differences: Project work had stronger positive impacts onengineering majors when compared to non-engineering majors and on alumni who completedoff-campus projects when compared those who completed on-campus projects. Kruskal-Wallistests identified areas where impact either changed or remained stable over time. Findings providea unique perspective on the long-term impacts of project-based learning.IntroductionThis paper provides an overview of an evaluation study of the impact of formal project work forstudents who graduated from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in science and engineeringmajors between 1974 and 2011. WPI has featured a project-based curriculum since the early1970’s. While there have been many studies of

Assessment. For example, many student misconceptions of crystalstructure included addition or deletion of atoms in the unit cell. Not all misconceptions involvedadding or removing the same atom, but because these were similar misconceptions, hinting at anemergent theme, they were grouped into one category referencing extra or missing atom(s). Eachstudent conception was then assigned categories based on these emergent themes. This processcontinued for each student response to each question on each Topical Module Assessment. Thecategorization with emergent themes gave categories of misconceptions on atomic bonding,crystal structures, deformation, polymers, and electrical properties.Support for Student Learning SurveyAt the end of the course, students
